Schuemann isn't in Oakland's lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.

Schuemann will take a seat Saturday after going 0-for-5 with three strikeouts in Friday's series opener. His absence will move Tristan Gray to third base while Seth Brown covers first, allowing Daz Cameron to pick up a start in left field.

Crawford went 1-for-2 with two walks, a hit-by-pitch and a run in a win over the Cardinals on Friday.

The busy game on the basepaths was a badly needed one for the struggling Crawford, who'd recently been bumped from the top of the order and had come into the night slashing .083/.290/.083 over the 31 plate appearances covering his first seven games back from the injured list. Crawford had run into some tough luck during that stretch, so it's conceivable Friday's performance is the start of a turnaround to some degree.

Moore went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a win over the Cardinals on Friday.

Moore slugged a two-run shot in the sixth inning to extend the Mariners' lead to 3-0, giving him his second straight two-RBI effort. The round tripper also snapped a 31-game homerless drought for Moore, who'd last left the yard July 26. The veteran sports a .701 OPS for the season despite the drag of a .205 average, as he's knocked 36 of his 69 hits for extra bases and sports an 11.0 percent walk rate.

Rafaela is expected to move to second base Saturday, when shortstop Trevor Story (shoulder) will be activated off the 60-day injured list, MLB.com reports.

Second base has been a revolving door all season for the Red Sox, whose second basemen have combined for league lows in batting average (.196) and OPS (.535). The position had been designated for Vaughn Grissom, but his injuries, setbacks and performance in the minors prevented that plan from being executed. Rafaela, whose two-run home run was the winning blow Friday, has slumped of late, going 5-for-36 (.139) with 14 strikeouts over the last 11 contests.

Henderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-0 win over the Rays.

Henderson had half of the Orioles' hits in the low-scoring contest. After batting .234 with five homers over 28 games in August, Henderson has made noise with three long balls over the first five games in September. The star shortstop is up to a .282/.368/.543 slash line with 36 homers, 85 RBI, 108 runs scored, 17 stolen bases, 25 doubles and six triples through 140 contests this season.

Rocchio went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 3-1 win over the Dodgers.

Rocchio hit a single in the sixth inning and scored on an Andres Gimenez homer before going yard himself in the eighth. Over his last six games, Rocchio has gone 7-for-19 (.368) with two homers and five RBI. That hot bat has helped him keep a spot in the lineup at shortstop on a regular basis. He's now slashing .215/.301/.331 with eight homers, 32 RBI, 48 runs scored, nine stolen bases and 15 doubles across 384 plate appearances this year.

Castro is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Royals.

Castro continues to operate in a near-everyday role for Minnesota while bouncing between shortstop and center field. He's been in a bad way at the dish with just two hits in his last seven games, but for the year Castro's been worth close to three wins above replacement by fWAR.

Manager John Schneider said Friday that the plan is for Bichette (calf) to join Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Bichette is expected to need 4-5 games with the affiliate before he's cleared to rejoin the big-league roster. Sidelined since mid-July with a right calf strain, Bichette has been able to run the bases several times this week and will remain with the Blue Jays in Atlanta through the weekend. He's in the midst of a down year with a .222/.275/.320 slash line through 80 games, and there are questions about his future in Toronto.

Story (shoulder) will be activated Saturday and will start at shortstop against the White Sox, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

This is a big surprise, as it wasn't clear that Story would be able to return so quickly after beginning a rehab assignment Sept. 1. He played four games at Triple-A and hit .375 with one steal and zero home runs. The plan is for Story to play shortstop and Ceddanne Rafaela to play second base down the stretch.

Francisca is slashing .325/.412/.477 with seven home runs, 18 steals on 21 attempts and a 15.4 percent strikeout rate in 71 games across the Arizona Complex League and Carolina League.

The 18-year-old switch hitter has made 23 starts at shortstop and three at second base since his promotion to Single-A Lynchburg on July 29. Francisca doesn't have the loudest tools, but he's pretty good at everything and has performed well while being young for his levels.
