  • Pablo Reyes DH | NYM

    Mets' Pablo Reyes: Set to join active roster

    The Mets are expected to promote Reyes from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

    Reyes has spent his entire Mets tenure in Triple-A since being acquired from the Red Sox in late May. With Syracuse, Reyes has slashed .285/.364/.470 with 10 stolen bases, nine home runs and 34 RBI across 230 plate appearances. He'll provide versatility in the Mets infield for the tail end of the 2024 season.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Out again Saturday

    Bohm (hand) isn't in the Phillies' lineup Saturday versus Atlanta.

    Bohm was cleared of any structural damage after he left Thursday's game with a left hand injury, but he'll now miss his second consecutive start as he continues to deal with some soreness. While he recovers, Weston Wilson will get the nod at the hot corner and bat seventh.

  • Reds' Santiago Espinal: Remaining out Saturday

    Espinal (shin) isn't in the Reds' lineup for Saturday's game against Milwaukee.

    Espinal had to make an early exit from Friday's nightcap after fouling a ball off his left shin, and he'll take a seat for at least Saturday's game as he deals with some inflammation. His absence will open a spot in the lineup for Noelvi Marte to start at third base while batting eighth.

  • Reds' Santiago Espinal: Injures shin

    Espinal is day-to-day after fouling a ball off his left shin during Friday's 14-0 loss to the Brewers, MLB.com reports.

    When Espinal first sustained the injury, the specific body part was unclear. Reds manager David Bell confirmed following the game that Espinal is dealing with a hematoma in the area of his left shin.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Pops homer in loss

    Suarez went 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's 10-9 loss to the Dodgers.

    Suarez supplied a sacrifice fly in the first inning to plate Arizona's second run, then added a two-run homer in the ninth in a comeback effort that fell just short. The third baseman has gone 10-for-27 (.370) with three homers and 13 RBI over his last seven contests. Overall, he has a .238/.307/.435 slash line with 21 homers, 82 RBI, 66 runs scored, 25 doubles and two stolen bases over 131 contests.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Giants' Matt Chapman: Provides winning hit

    Chapman went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Friday's 3-1 win over the Marlins.

    The Giants put multiple runners on base in just one of the first seven innings, but they constructed a rally in the eighth. Chapman did his part with a two-out, bases-loaded double that provided all the offense the Giants would need to win. The third baseman has driven in 19 runs and posted 12 extra-base hits over 26 games in August. He's at a .246/.332/.443 slash line, 21 home runs, 67 RBI, 88 runs scored, 33 doubles and 13 stolen bases through 133 contests overall.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Homers in loss

    Arenado went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Yankees.

    Arenado has logged three multi-hit efforts over the last six games, though this was his first homer since a walk-off grand slam versus the Brewers on Aug. 21. The third baseman has enjoyed a productive August, hitting .295 (31-for-105) over 27 games this month. For the season, he's up to a .270/.321/.401 slash line with 15 homers, 62 RBI, 58 runs scored, 19 doubles and two stolen bases through 128 contests.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Homers, drives in four

    Machado went 3-for-5 with a home run, four RBI and two runs scored in Friday's win over the Rays.

    Machado knocked an RBI single and scored in the first frame. He did most of his damage the following inning when he launched a three-run homer. It was his third home run and third multi-hit performance over his last five games. Over his last 30 games, Machado has gone 39-for-120 (.325) with 19 extra-base hits and 30 RBI. The hot streak has boosted his season slash line to .274/.325/.466 through 538 plate appearances.

  • Reds' Santiago Espinal: Exits early Friday

    Espinal was removed from the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Brewers due to an apparent foot injury, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Espinal fouled a ball off his foot and then seemed to have trouble running to first base after lining a single to left field in the fifth inning. He was able to remain in the game after multiple visits from the Reds' training staff, but the team ultimately decided to pull him once Cincinnati went on defense to start the seventh. The 29-year-old's willingness to remain in the game is a good sign that he avoided a serious injury, though the Reds may sit him down for a game or two just to be safe.

  • Joseph Ortiz 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Idle for second game

    Ortiz is absent from the starting lineup for the second game of a doubleheader against the Reds on Friday.

    Ortiz started at third base and went 0-for-3 at the plate during the matinee. He'll retreat to the bench for the nightcap as Andruw Monasterio handles the hot corner.
