Ramirez went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 5-1 win over the Cardinals.

The star third baseman took Kyle Gibson deep in the fifth inning for his 36th homer of the season, and then swiped his 40th bag of the year in the seventh. Ramirez has never recorded a 40-40 season -- his career high in home runs is 39 set back in 2018, while he's already set a new career high in stolen bases in 2024 -- but with seven games left on the Guardians' schedule, he's still got a chance.

Bregman went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and three RBI on Friday against the Angels.

Bregman missed some time in late August and early September with an elbow injury, and he has struggled to find his rhythm at the plate since. In 57 at-bats since September began, he is hitting just .211. However, Bregman has still managed to provide meaningful counting stats, delivering three homers, nine RBI and eight runs scored in that span.

Ornelas started at third base and went 0-for-3 in Friday's 8-2 loss to the Mariners.

Ornelas appeared in just his third game since being called up at the beginning of the month. He filled in for Josh Jung, who was shut down for a couple of days due to discomfort in the area near where he underwent wrist surgery earlier this year. The Rangers aren't yet mathematically eliminated from the postseason, but that could happen this weekend. At that point, the club may not want to risk bringing Jung back. If that were to occur, Ornelas and Ezequiel Duran would likely share the hot corner for the remainder of the regular season.

Garcia went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Giants.

Garcia was held without a hit for the third game in a row, but he was able to make a little noise after drawing a ninth-inning walk. The infielder has four steals over his last six games and 37 thefts on 39 attempts this season. He's added a middling .237/.284/.342 slash line with seven home runs, 58 RBI and 84 runs scored over 149 games.

Sosa went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Padres.

Sosa took Padres closer Robert Suarez deep with two outs in the ninth inning. It was a brief respite for the White Sox, who got walked off on a Fernando Tatis double in the 10th. Sosa's had a hot bat in September, going 21-for-57 (.368) with two homers, six RBI and seven runs scored over 15 games this month. The surge has lifted the infielder's slash line to .243/.269/.332 with six homers, 28 RBI, 21 runs scored, 11 doubles and three stolen bases through 92 contests.

Machado went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the White Sox.

Machado's steal was his 10th of the year, the first time he's reached that mark since he swiped 12 bags in 2021. The third baseman has put together a strong September, going 21-for-66 (.318) with six home runs, 21 RBI, eight runs scored and two steals over 16 games. For the year, he's slashing .279/.328/.484 with 29 homers, 104 RBI and 75 runs scored over 145 contests, numbers mostly in line with his production from last season.

Manager Alex Cora said that Devers injured his right shoulder Friday and will most likely be shut down for the remainder of the season, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Cora added that Devers suffered the injury while taking swings in a cage right before Friday's game versus Minnesota, per Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic. Despite his bad shoulder, the 27-year-old still played Friday, going 1-for-4 with a walk and three strikeouts before being replaced in the infield by Vaughn Grissom in the 11th inning. Devers is slated to receive an MRI on Saturday, though it seems he won't play another game in 2024 no matter what the results are. He'll finish the season with a .272/.354/.516 slash line alongside 28 home runs and 83 RBI, and Nick Sogard could take over as Boston's primary third baseman for the final eight games of the season.

Bohm went 4-for-5 with a homer, two runs scored and four RBI in Friday's 12-2 victory over the Mets.

The Philadelphia third baseman had struggled since returning from a hand injury Sept. 15, hitting just .133 (2-for-15) with a solo homer over four games, but broke out with this monster display. Bohm slugged his 15th homer of the season in the fourth inning with a 383-foot, three-run blast off Adam Ottavino. The 28-year-old also collected his third four-hit performance of the season, but his since June 24 at Detroit. Bohm now sports a .290/.343/.467 slash line with 94 RBI and 62 runs scored across 578 plate appearances this season.

Vargas isn't in the White Sox's lineup for Friday's game versus San Diego.

After going 1-for-11 with an RBI during Chicago's last series against the Angels, Vargas will get a breather to begin the Sox's three-game set with the Padres. While he rests, Bryan Ramos will handle the hot corner and bat eighth.

Jung will be shut down for a couple days with discomfort in his right wrist near the area that he had surgery, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Jonathan Ornelas will fill in for Jung at third base and bat ninth in Friday's game against the Mariners. Jung will head to Arizona to consult with his surgeon Monday, and the team is hoping he will be able to play during a season-ending road trip, which begins Tuesday in Oakland. With Texas out of playoff contention, it wouldn't be surprising if Jung doesn't return for the final week of the season.
