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

Southpaw Carlos Rodon will toe the slab for New York on Saturday, meaning the left-handed bat of Schuemann won't be part of Oakland's starting nine. Nick Allen will replace him at the hot corner while batting ninth.

Henderson went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 7-1 win over the Tigers.

Over his last 11 games, Henderson has five multi-hit efforts and four steals. The shortstop is batting .333 (15-for-45) in that span, though his move back to leadoff at the start of the month has diminished his opportunities to generate RBI. For the year, he has a .283/.366/.538 slash line with 37 home runs, 21 steals, 87 RBI and 115 runs scored, with all of those numbers being significant improvements on his rookie-year stats from 2023.

Caballero is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.

Caballero will yield to Taylor Walls at shortstop Saturday, marking Caballero's second absence in the last four games. In September, Caballero is 11-for-49 (.224) with a 32.1 percent strikeout rate.

Witt went 3-for-4 in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Giants.

Witt's bat has slowed down a bit in September -- he's gone 18-for-65 (.277) over 17 contests. This was just his fourth multi-hit effort of the month, though he was the only one who get much going versus the Giants' pitching staff. Despite the slowdown at the plate, Witt is still slashing a fantastic .334/.389/.599 with 32 home runs, 30 stolen bases, 108 RBI, 124 runs scored, 44 doubles and 11 triples across 154 contests.

Volpe went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Friday's 4-2 extra-inning win over the Athletics.

Volpe had gone just 5-for-44 (.114) while striking out 15 times over a 13-game span between multi-hit efforts. Two of his singles Friday plated a run, including an insurance run in the 10th inning. His September slump has taken a toll on his overall numbers, which are now at a .248/.295/.369 slash line with 11 home runs, 57 RBI, 88 runs scored and 26 stolen bases through 152 contests. Still, he's not at risk of losing his near-everyday role at shortstop.

Rocchio is not in the lineup for Friday's game in St. Louis.

Rocchio had started each of the last eight contests, but he'll get a day off for the series opener. Daniel Schneemann will hold down shortstop for the Guardians.

Moore went 1-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in a win over the Yankees on Thursday.

Moore had his most active game offensively since Sept. 4 by getting on base three times, and he added his 30th steal of the campaign. Despite Thursday's busy night, Moore has had an unremarkable month thus far, hitting .250 with two extra-base hits, four RBI, four walks, two stolen bases and two runs across 29 plate appearances over 13 games in September.

Henderson went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Giants.

Henderson's steal was his fifth of September, giving him the first 20-steal season of his three-year career. The 23-year-old is hitting .338 (22-for-65) over 16 contests this month, with nine of his knocks going for extra bases. His rebound at the plate has coincided with him once again being atop the Orioles' lineup. Henderson is at a .282/.365/.537 slash line with 37 home runs, 87 RBI, 114 runs scored, 28 doubles and seven triples over a career-high 151 contests.

Caballero went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in a 2-0 win against Boston on Thursday.

Caballero made the start at third base and recorded a single and a steal in the fourth inning. The theft was his third in his past two games and his 44th of the season. Among MLB players, only Elly De La Cruz, Shohei Ohtani and Brice Turang have more steals.

Rafaela is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Tampa Bay, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Rafaela is getting a breather after going 1-for-16 with seven strikeouts across his last five games. Nick Sogard will cover second base and bat ninth for the Red Sox.
