Rojas went 0-for-4 with a stolen base in a win over the Cardinals on Friday.

Rojas reached on a throwing error in the sixth inning and then stole second base for his 10th pilfer of the season, marking his third straight campaign reaching double digits in that category. The 30-year-old had come into the game on a brief four-game surge during which he'd gone 4-for-11, but his .232/.310/.348 slash line still has plenty of room for improvement.

Duran started at shortstop and went 1-for-4 in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Angels.

The Rangers have used a few bodies to cover shortstop since Corey Seager (hip) was placed on the 10-day injured list. Duran, who joined Jonathan Ornelas and Josh Smith as part of the fill-in crew, has hit safely in three consecutive games and is batting .250 (10-for-40) since returning the majors in late July. He was a competent bench bat for the 2023 World Series champions but has been unable to repeat that level of production in 2024.

Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 3-1 win over the Dodgers.

Ramirez's steal was his 35th of the year, setting a new personal best for the third baseman. He had been caught stealing in each of the previous two games, but that hasn't dampened his willingness to run. He's now at a .273/.331/.522 slash line with 34 home runs, 106 RBI, 101 runs scored, 31 doubles and one triple over 138 contests in what's been one of his most productive seasons.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Padres.

Chapman has a career-high 14 steals this year, though he's recorded just two of them since the start of August. In that same span, he's batting (.276) with 14 extra-base hits and 21 RBI over 32 games, an improvement on his .249 average for the season. The third baseman has added a .780 OPS, 22 home runs, 69 RBI, 91 runs scored, 34 doubles and a triple through 138 contests, a performance which helped earn him a six-year, $151 million contract extension earlier this week.

Machado went 3-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 5-1 win over the Giants.

Machado had gone five games without a homer before lifting a first-inning solo shot. He added an RBI single in the fifth and then went yard again with another solo homer in the eighth, giving him 25 long balls on the year. It's a mark he's reached in all nine of his full-length seasons over the last 10 years, and he's within striking distance of reaching 30 homers for the eighth time in that span. The third baseman has added a .274/.326/.468 slash line with 89 RBI, 69 runs scored and nine steals over 134 contests.

Arenado exited Friday's game against Seattle due to shoulder soreness, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Arenado exited in favor of a pinch hitter in the ninth inning after he had difficulty swinging a bat. It's unclear if the injury will cause him to miss additional time, but Jose Fermin would likely pick up playing time at the hot corner in that scenario.

Vientos went 3-for-5 with two home runs, four RBI and an additional run scored in Friday's 6-4 win against Cincinnati.

The Mets' third baseman opened the game's scoring when he laced a 368-foot, two-run homer off opener Fernando Cruz in the first inning. Vientos then capped the game's scoring when he cracked a walk-off, 401-foot, two-run blast in the 10th. The 24-year-old has been a significant source of power this season, as he's now slashing .289/.342/.563 with 24 homers, 62 RBI and 50 runs scored across 368 plate appearances in 91 games. Vientos now has multiple hits in four of his past five games.

Muncy is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Guardians.

The lefty-hitting Muncy will begin Friday's game in the dugout as Cleveland sends southpaw Matthew Boyd to the mound. Since his return from the 60-day injured list in mid-August, Muncy has slashed .237/.383/.500 with two home runs and seven RBI across 47 plate appearances. Enrique Hernandez will start at third base and bat ninth.

Barger (knee) is feeling better and will be available off the bench for Friday's game against Atlanta, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

A knee issue has kept Barger sidelined since Tuesday, but he seems to be trending in the right direction. While his overall numbers this season remain underwhelming, Barger has an .827 OPS and seven homers in 30 games since his return to the majors in late July. He should see regular starts for Toronto when healthy.

DeJong is not in Friday's lineup against the Twins.

DeJong has seemingly taken over the primary third base duties of late, with Maikel Garcia often manning second base and Michael Massey seeing time at designated hitter. In Friday's lineup, however, DeJong is the odd man out against righty Zebby Matthews.
