  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Could be done for season

    Candelario (toe) is unlikely to return and finish the season, MLB.com reports.

    Candelario, who was hit by a pitch during a game Aug. 18, landed on the injured list a couple of days later and has yet to resume baseball activities. Cincinnati manager David Bell said Saturday that it looks like Candelario will not be back this season, adding there is still pain in the toe. If that's it for Candelario, he'll finish his first season as a member of the Reds with 20 home runs, 56 RBI, four steals, 47 runs scored and a line of .225/.279/.429 over 112 games.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Reaches 35-homer mark

    Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Rays.

    Ramirez ended an 11-game homerless drought with his eighth-inning solo shot, which got him to the 35-homer mark for the third time in his career. The third baseman has gone 12 games without a multi-hit effort, but he's made the most of his trips on base with five stolen bases in that span. Ramirez has a .270/.329/.514 slash line with 107 RBI, 106 runs scored, 39 steals, 33 doubles and one triple across 146 contests this season.

  • Jose Tena SS | WAS

    Nationals' Jose Tena: Fills stat sheet in win

    Tena went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Marlins.

    Tena tallied a homer and a steal in the same contest for the first time in his career. He has hit safely in eight of his past 10 games with five multi-hit efforts, four extra-base hits and six runs scored. In 113 plate appearances with the Nationals, the 23-year-old is hitting .318 with three home runs, 13 RBI, 13 runs scored and five stolen bases.

  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Runs wild against Bucs

    Garcia went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run scored, an RBI and three stolen bases in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Pirates.

    The Royals went 6-for-6 on steal attempts on the day, with Garcia leading the charge. The 24-year-old snapped a 12-game drought on the basepaths with the performance, a stretch in which he batted just .147 (5-for-34) and failed to even score a run. On the season, Garcia is slashing .238/.284/.343 with seven homers, 36 steals, 56 RBI and 84 runs in 144 contests.

  • Rafael Devers 3B | BOS

    Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Frustrates Yankees on Saturday

    Devers went 1-for-2 with two walks, two runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Yankees. He was also hit by a pitch.

    He was plunked by the second pitch he saw from Gerrit Cole, a suspicious occurrence given Devers' long track record of success against the right-hander, but it was Cole's intentional walk of the Boston star with the bases empty in the fourth inning that sparked both his bat, and the team's offense as a whole, to life. Saturday's performance snapped an eight-game RBI drought for the 27-year-old, and on the season Devers is slashing .278/.360/.531 with 28 homers, three steals, 83 RBI and 86 runs.

  • Coby Mayo 3B | BAL

    Orioles' Coby Mayo: Sitting again

    Mayo is not in Saturday's lineup against the Tigers.

    Mayo looked to be gaining a hold on a regular role in the Orioles' lineup with consecutive starts Monday and Tuesday. However, he's now sat three games in a row -- all against right-handed starters. Emmanuel Rivera will take over at third base.

  • Miguel Vargas 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Sitting Saturday

    Vargas is not in Saturday's lineup against the Athletics.

    Vargas has been getting regular run at third base for the White Sox, but he sits against some right-handed pitchers and Yoan Moncada (adductor) could eventually return to the hot corner. Vargas has just three hits across 22 at-bats with 10 strikeouts across eight games in September. Bryan Ramos will replace Vargas in the lineup Saturday.

  • Athletics' Armando Alvarez: Sent to minors

    Alvarez was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday.

    Alvarez had been with the big-league club since Aug. 27, though he had picked up eight at-bats in that span. He'll head back to the minors to make room for Tyler Soderstrom (wrist) to return from the injured list.

  • Addison Barger SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Enters Saturday's lineup

    Barger will hit seventh and play third base Saturday against the Cardinals.

    Barger was not in Toronto's original lineup but was inserted to replace the injured Leo Jimenez (finger). Barger has picked up only 18 at-bats so far in September, collecting three hits with a homer, three RBI and three runs scored.

  • Paul DeJong SS | KC

    Royals' Paul DeJong: Sitting down Saturday

    DeJong isn't in the Royals' lineup Saturday versus Pittsburgh.

    DeJong will sit for the second consecutive game after going 3-for-21 with an RBI and eight strikeouts to begin the month of September. Maikel Garcia will step in as Kansas City's third baseman and bat eighth.
