Donovan Solano 3B | SD
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 3B | 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 3B | 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.

Junior Caminero 3B | TB
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.

Nolan Arenado 3B | STL
Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Taking seat Saturday
Arenado isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Arenado has gone 9-for-25 with two RBI and three runs scored during his six-game hitting streak, but he'll take a seat Saturday for the second time in St. Louis' last three games. Thomas Saggese will get an opportunity to start at third base while batting seventh.

Jose Miranda 3B | MIN
Twins' Jose Miranda: Lands on IL
The Twins placed Miranda on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a lower-back strain.
With only two games left in the regular season and the Twins out of the running for a playoff spot, Miranda's move to the IL will rule him out for the rest of 2024. The 26-year-old will finish the season with a .284/.322/.441 slash line alongside nine home runs and 49 RBI across 429 plate appearances. Michael Helman was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move.
