  • Blue Jays' Leo Jimenez: Scratched from lineup

    Jimenez was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Cardinals due to a right index finger contusion, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    Jimenez was set to return from a two-game absence caused by foot soreness. He's now dealing with a new injury, and it's unclear how long he will be sidelined.

  • Blue Jays' Leo Jimenez: Returns to lineup

    Jimenez (foot) will start at shortstop and bat eighth Saturday versus the Cardinals.

    Foot soreness prevented Jimenez from starting the Jays' last two contests, though he was able to appear as a pinch hitter Friday. Now back in the starting nine, he'll look to turn things around at the plate after starting the month 3-for-16 across eight games.

  • Carlos Correa SS | MIN

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Officially activated

    The Twins reinstated Correa (heel) from the 10-day injured list Saturday.

    Plantar fasciitis in Correa's right foot has kept him out of action since the All-Star break, but he began making significant progress in his recovery after beginning a new treatment earlier this month and has now been cleared to return to the active roster. The 29-year-old infielder didn't appear in any rehab games before being reinstated, so there's a chance he shows a bit of rust during his first several games back, but he still figures to remain productive after slashing .308/.377/.520 through 316 plate appearances prior to his injury. DaShawn Keirsey was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move.

  • Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela: Out of Saturday's lineup

    Rafaela isn't in the Red Sox's lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

    Rafaela has been held hitless in eight at-bats through the first two games of the series, and he'll now get a chance to regroup as he sits Saturday. Enmanuel Valdez will start at second base and bat ninth.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Belts first home run

    Story went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's loss to the Yankees.

    Story's two-run blast in the seventh inning was his first home run in nearly a calendar year. It was also his first extra-base hit since returning from the injured list Sept. 7. He's slashing .226/.281/.340 with four extra-base hits and seven RBI through 14 games this season.

  • Carlos Correa SS | MIN

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Set to return Saturday

    Correa (plantar fasciitis) will be activated from the injured list before Saturday's game, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Correa has been taking live batting practice against minor-league pitchers and working in the field the past few days. He's been sidelined since the All-Star break due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot. He'll likely return to starting at shortstop, but he may be rusty at the plate from his extended time off. However, it's a good sign for the Twins, who could use a healthy Correa to ensure they make the playoffs.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Moves to 60-day IL

    The Rangers transferred Seager (hernia) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

    Seager is slated to undergo season-ending surgery Friday to address his sports hernia, and his move to the 60-day IL will officially rule him out for the remainder of the season. Jacob deGrom (elbow) will return from the IL to fill the open 40-man spot. Seager is expected to be fully recovered by spring training.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Multi-hit effort in loss

    Wilson went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in a loss to the Astros on Thursday.

    The rookie contributed only his second multi-hit effort since returning from the injured list Aug. 27, extending his hitting streak to six games in the process. Wilson has been making constant contact during that stretch, mustering a .333 batting average with a tiny 7.7 percent strikeout rate across 26 plate appearances.

  • Rays' Jose Caballero: Swipes 40th bag in win

    Caballero went 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's win over Cleveland while also drawing a walk.

    Caballero doubled in his second plate appearance before coming around to score on a fielding error. The infielder would then draw a walk and swipe his 40th bag of the season in his next trip to the plate, and later added an RBI single in the eighth. Caballero has now hit safely in four of his last five contests, driving in two runs over that stretch while stealing three bases. He's batting .310 (9-for-29) in September with two doubles, three RBI, three runs and three stolen bases.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Set for season-ending surgery

    Seager was diagnosed with a sports hernia and will have season-ending surgery Friday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

    Seager has been out for the last week due to what was originally deemed hip soreness. However, he has now been diagnosed with a sports hernia on his right side. There hasn't been any official word on his status for 2025, but he'll presumably be ready for spring training. Josh Smith has been filling in as Texas' shortstop and will presumably continue to do so over the final weeks of the season.
