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.

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.

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.

Walls isn't in the Rays' lineup for Thursday's game versus Cleveland, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Walls will take a seat Thursday after going 1-for-3 with an RBI during Wednesday's game against the Phillies. In his place, Jose Caballero will start at shortstop and bat sixth.

Crawford went 1-for-3 with a two-run double and a walk in a win over the Padres on Wednesday.

Crawford delivered the final runs of the night for the Mariners with his sixth-inning double, which brought home Luke Raley and Justin Turner. The veteran shortstop extended both a hitting and RBI streak to three games, while also getting his average back up to the Mendoza Line for the first time since Aug. 28.

Schuemann is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Houston.

Schuemann started both of the first two games of the series and reached base four times, but he'll get a breather for Thursday's matinee. Nick Allen will cover third base and bat ninth for the Athletics.

The Astros recalled Kessinger from Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

He will give the Astros another infielder while Jose Altuve (side) is banged up. Kessinger is hitless in 15 at-bats at the major-league level this season.

The Tigers optioned Kreidler to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.

He's clearing out to make room on the active roster for Wenceel Perez (oblique), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Kreidler has managed just a .369 OPS in 34 games with the big club this season.

Rafaela started at second base and went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Wednesday's 5-3 extra-inning win over the Orioles.

Rafaela made his second start at second base (fourth appearance overall) and first since shortstop Trevor Story was reinstated from the 60-day injured list. At the time of Story's return last week, the speculation was the Rafaela would move to second base, but that didn't occur until Wednesday's game.

Schuemann went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Astros.

Schuemann has posted just four multi-hit efforts since the start of August, batting a meager .162 (17-for-105) in that span. While the rookie hasn't played particularly well of late, Wednesday's performance was an exception -- he avoided striking out for the first time in eight games. Schuemann is now at a .224/.315/.315 slash line with 14 steals, seven home runs, 34 RBI, 52 runs scored and 12 doubles over 121 contests. The A's don't exactly have a ton of exciting alternatives, so Schuemann is likely to continue seeing steady playing time at third base down the stretch.
