  • Padres' Manny Machado: Absent from lineup

    Machado is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Machado will sit for the regular-season finale after going 1-for-10 with one RBI across the first two games of the series against Arizona. Unless he comes in to pinch hit, Machado will end the regular season having slashed .275/.325/.472 with 11 stolen bases, 29 home runs and 105 RBI across 643 plate appearances. Tyler Wade will start at third base Sunday and bat eighth.

  • Orioles' Emmanuel Rivera: Career game in Minnesota

    Rivera went 4-for-4 with two home runs, a double, a walk, four RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Twins.

    Rivera has had to battle for playing time ever since he got to Baltimore, but he's produced with a .323/.380/.597 slash line over 26 games with the team. He doubled his homer total with the Orioles in a big game Saturday. Overall in 2024, he's slashing .240/.314/.346 with five homers, 29 RBI, 24 runs scored and two stolen bases across 300 plate appearances between the Orioles and the Marlins. With Baltimore having gotten healthier late in the regular season, Rivera may be limited to a bench role if he's included on the postseason roster.

  • Jared Triolo 3B | PIT

    Pirates' Jared Triolo: Tallies ninth homer

    Triolo went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Saturday against the Yankees.

    Triolo popped a two-run homer in the sixth inning to bring his total on the season to nine, three of which have come in September. His numbers for the campaign are subpar, though Triolo has managed to maintain a .263 batting average with a .701 OPS, 10 RBI and 10 runs scored across 22 starts in September.

  • Noelvi Marte 3B | CIN

    Reds' Noelvi Marte: Logs one hit in loss

    Marte went 1-for-3 and was caught stealing in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Cubs.

    Marte logged one of three hits for the Reds, whose bats have gone very quiet over the final week of the season with a league-low .137 batting average. Cincinnati's lost five straight, including three shutouts, and been outscored 17-3. Marte is doing his best to put a disappointing season behind him, which began with an 80-game suspension due to a PED violation. He's gone 13-for-48 (.271) with four walks, four RBI and three steals over the last 14 games.

  • Padres' Donovan Solano: Four hits in Saturday's win

    Solano went 4-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Solano picked up his first multi-hit effort since Sept. 14, which was also a four-hit game. The 36-year-old had three singles before going yard in the ninth inning to provide some insurance runs. He's been a decent bat for the Padres this year with a .287/.344/.418 slash line, eight homers, 35 RBI, 31 runs scored and two stolen bases over 95 contests.

  • Joseph Ortiz 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Drives in three Saturday

    Ortiz went 1-for-3 with a walk, three RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Mets.

    Ortiz plated the Brewers' first two runs with a single in the fourth inning before drawing a bases-loaded walk in the eighth. The infielder has had a decent September, batting .256 (21-for-82) with 10 extra-base hits, 15 RBI and four steals over 25 contests. He's been the Brewers' main third baseman in 2024, posting a .240/.331/.400 slash line with 11 steals, 11 home runs, 60 RBI and 58 runs scored across 141 games.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Smacks 39th home run

    Ramirez went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 4-3 loss against the Astros.

    Ramirez took Justin Verlander deep in the first inning, and he's now one homer away from a 40-40 season. If he plays in Sunday's season finale, Ramirez has a chance to become the first primary third baseman ever to post a 40-40 season.

  • Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Launches 24th homer

    Chisholm went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 9-4 loss to the Pirates.

    He got the Yankees on the board with a fifth-inning solo shot off Mike Burrows, but the Bucs already had a 4-0 lead at that point. Chisholm reached 40 steals on the season Friday, and he now sits one homer short of 25 with one game left to play on the regular-season schedule. The 26-year-old has been outstanding for New York since being acquired at the trade deadline -- 11 of his long balls, and 18 of his stolen bases, have come in only 46 games as a Yankee.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Homers, drives in three

    Caminero went 3-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and an additional run scored in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Red Sox.

    Caminero gave the Rays the lead with a two-run homer in the third inning off Kutter Crawford, his sixth home run of the season. The 21-year-old now has three home runs over his last 10 games. Caminero has been playing regularly since getting his call-up in August, and he's now slashing .255/.306/.435 with 18 RBI in 42 games.

  • Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Not starting Saturday

    Westburg isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    After going 0-for-5 with an RBI in Friday's contest, Westburg will step aside Saturday while Ramon Urias starts at second base, opening up third for Emmanuel Rivera.
