  • Nolan Gorman 2B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Could get some looks at first base

    Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Wednesday that Gorman could "potentially" see some start at first base following the season-ending injury to Willson Contreras (shoulder), Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Alec Burleson will be the team's primary first baseman down the stretch, but Gorman might also see some action there on days when Burleson plays the outfield. Gorman's playing-time outlook took a hit with the returns of Brendan Donovan and Nolan Arenado from the injured list, but Gorman now has another avenue to playing time, albeit a narrow one.

  • Nathan Eaton LF | BOS

    Red Sox's Nate Eaton: Not in Boston lineup

    Eaton is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

    Eaton had started five of the last six tilts, but he'll begin Wednesday's festivities on the bench. Rob Refsnyder will handle right field and bat sixth for the Red Sox.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Reds' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Getting breather

    Hayes is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in St. Louis.

    Hayes will receive Wednesday off after going hitless across his last four games. Sal Stewart will handle third base and bat fifth in Wednesday's matinee.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Contributes in win

    Ramirez went 2-for-5 with a double, a stolen base, an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-5 extra-inning win over Detroit.

    Ramirez was part of a four-run 10th inning when he doubled and scored. The double was one of four consecutive extra-base hits in the frame. Earlier, he singled, stole a base and scored in the sixth. The double was his 30th, giving him a sixth straight season with at least 30 doubles, while the theft was his 39th. Cleveland's won five straight and moved within 2.5 games of the final wild-card spot.

  • Jordan Lawlar SS | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Soft stick wins it

    Lawlar went 1-for-2 with a walk and an RBI in Tuesday's 6-5 win over San Francisco.

    Lawlar entered in the sixth inning and stayed in the game as the designated hitter. His 44.7-mph, check-swing roller to first base with the bases loaded was enough to plate the winning run and walk off the Giants. The 23-year-old prospect has produced following an 0-for-30 run in the majors this season. Lawlar has hit safely in eight of his last 10 appearances (six starts), going 9-for-26 (.346) with six doubles, five RBI, two steals and five runs scored.

  • Carter Kieboom 1B | LAA

    Angels' Carter Kieboom: Up in big leagues

    The Angels selected Kieboom's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake, and he's starting at first base and batting seventh Tuesday against the Brewers.

    The 28-year-old inked a minor-league deal with the Angels in February and will receive a look in the majors with less than two weeks left in the regular season. Kieboom has an .817 OPS with nine homers and 11 steals in 93 contests with Salt Lake this year and is getting his first game action in the big leagues since 2023.

  • Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Activated from 10-day IL

    The Orioles activated Westburg (ankle) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    Westburg wound up missing nearly a month of action with a right ankle sprain but is ready to roll after playing three rehab contests with Triple-A Norfolk. The 26-year-old will retake his third-base job, with Jeremiah Jackson likely reverting to a utility role.

  • Braves' Nacho Alvarez: Sitting out matinee

    Alvarez is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Nationals.

    Alvarez will likely be back at third base for the nightcap, but he will begin the first game of the double dip on the bench. Vidal Brujan is at third base for Atlanta in the matinee.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Lifts 18th homer

    Muncy went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Phillies.

    Muncy has been scuffling since returning from an oblique injury, going just 2-for-16 with three walks and five strikeouts over five games since he was activated Sept. 8. The infielder has managed to record 18 homers over 94 contests in an injury-riddled campaign. He's added a .251/.386/.481 slash line, 65 RBI, 47 runs scored and four stolen bases through 368 plate appearances, serving as the Dodgers' primary third baseman versus right-handed pitchers when he's healthy.

  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Goes yard Monday

    Jung went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Astros.

    This was Jung's first homer over 13 games in September, and he's batting just .184 (9-for-49) this month. The third baseman's blast tied the game at 2-2 in the fifth inning. Jung had six multi-hit efforts over his last eight contests in August, so the slowdown in September is discouraging. He's at a .251/.294/.394 slash line with 14 homers, 57 RBI, 48 runs scored and four stolen bases over 120 games this season.
