  • Matt Shaw SS | CHC

    Cubs' Matt Shaw: Big effort in easy win

    Shaw went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a stolen base and three total runs scored in Wednesday's 10-3 win over the Mets.

    Shaw played a key offensive role from the No. 9 spot in the lineup, delivering his 13th home run of the season and 17th stolen base. While the rookie is batting just .230 with a .298 on-base percentage, his combination of power and speed hints at his potential in 2026 and beyond. Shaw has also played well lately, as he's riding a four-game hitting streak and is batting .467 during the stretch.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Giants' Matt Chapman: Resting Wednesday

    Chapman isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Chapman will take a seat for Wednesday's series finale after going 2-for-8 with an RBI and two runs scored over the first two games versus St. Louis. Casey Schmitt will shift over to third base as a result, opening up second for Christian Koss.

  • Jace Jung 2B | DET

    Tigers' Jace Jung: Sent down to Triple-A

    The Tigers optioned Jung to Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Jung was recalled from Toledo last week after Colt Keith (ribs) was placed on the 10-day injured list. This time, Justyn-Henry Malloy is taking Jung's spot on the 26-man roster. Jung has appeared in 21 games for the Tigers this season, slashing .106/.236/.106 with zero extra-base hits, three RBI, eight runs scored and a 7:16 BB:K across 55 trips to the plate.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Reds' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Absent from lineup

    Hayes is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Pirates.

    Hayes enters play Wednesday in a 0-for-24 drought at the plate, so he will begin the game on the bench. The Reds are rolling out Sal Stewart at third base as they try to even the series.

  • Brady House SS | WAS

    Nationals' Brady House: Taking seat Wednesday

    House is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

    House will get a breather during Wednesday's matinee after starting the last four contests. Paul DeJong will occupy the hot corner and bat ninth for the Nationals.

  • Kyle Karros 3B | COL

    Rockies' Kyle Karros: Two hits Tuesday

    Karros went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Tuesday against the Mariners.

    Karros recorded an RBI in his second consecutive game after knocking in a run with a single in the second inning. He remains the Rockies' primary third baseman, starting 16 of 20 games in September. However, Karros has hit only .222 with three RBI and six runs scored in that span.

  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Trio of hits in win

    Garcia went 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI, three runs scored and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Angels.

    Garcia set the tone with a leadoff double in the first inning and later came around to score on a wild pitch, sparking what became his first three-hit performance since Aug. 10. While he's had a quieter September with a .620 OPS over 20 games, the third baseman's 2025 campaign as a whole has been a breakout. Through 155 contests, he owns an .809 OPS with 38 doubles, five triples, 16 homers, 72 RBI and 23 stolen bases, ranking second among Royals regulars in OPS behind only Bobby Witt.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Homer, steal in win

    Arenado went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Tuesday's 9-8 win over the Giants.

    Arenado ended a power drought of 33 games, though he also missed a month and a half in that span due to a right shoulder strain. He has gone 8-for-30 (.267) with four extra-base hits and seven RBI over eight games since his return from the injury. Overall, the third baseman is at a .238/.292/.373 slash line with 11 homers, 50 RBI, 47 runs scored and three steals over 104 contests. Barring a massive surge this week, Arenado will finish the season with an OPS under .700 for the first time in his career.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Getting breather Tuesday

    Machado is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Brewers.

    Machado will take a seat for just the second time this season as the Padres go to battle with Milwaukee. The Padres clinched a playoff berth by winning Monday's series opener 5-4 in 11 innings, so it makes sense to give Machado a little extra rest. Jose Iglesias will draw the start at third base and bat sixth in his place.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    Angels' Yoan Moncada: Idle Tuesday

    Moncada isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Moncada will sit down for a second consecutive game Tuesday, though he recorded a hit off the bench Sunday to end what had been an 0-for-13 stretch at the plate. Oswald Peraza will pick up another start at the hot corner as a result and bat sixth.
