  • Bo Bichette SS | NYM

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Another multi-hit day

    Bichette went 2-for-4 with one run scored and one steal in Thursday's win over the Yankees.

    For the fifth time in his last nine games, Bichette corralled multiple hits, while he also swiped his fifth bag of the campaign Thursday. Over that nine-game stretch, Bichette is 12-for-39 (.308) with two homers, two stolen bases and eight runs scored.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Taking seat Thursday

    Baez is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Royals.

    The Tigers are going with Zack Short at shortstop in the final game of the series versus Kansas City. Baez had been in the lineup for each of the previous three contests.

  • Nick Allen SS | HOU

    Athletics' Nick Allen: Hits second career triple Wednesday

    Allen went 1-for-3 with a triple and a walk in a loss to the Twins on Wednesday.

    Allen's three-bagger was the second of the season and his career, and it extended a brief but encouraging stretch of the plate for the young shortstop. The 24-year-old has hit safely in four consecutive starts, going 5-for-13 with a pair of walks and two runs in addition to Wednesday's three-bagger across 15 plate appearances in that span.

  • Jorge Mateo SS | ATL

    Orioles' Jorge Mateo: Records 30th steal

    Mateo went 1-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Nationals.

    Mateo reached the 30-steal mark for the second year in a row, and he did it with four thefts over his last 10 contests. The shortstop has regularly been in the lineup versus southpaws lately, but he's seen minimal playing time versus righties. For the season, Mateo has a .219/.270/.344 slash line with seven home runs, 33 RBI and 56 runs scored over 112 contests, but he's hit just .180 with one homer since the start of May.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Won't return this weekend

    Correa (foot) will not rejoin the Twins before the end of the regular season, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    The original plan had been for Correa to travel with the Twins to Colorado for their final series of the regular season. However, the decision has been made for him to stay back and participate in simulated games instead. It is not being viewed as a setback, as Correa still appears in line to play in Game 1 of the Wild Card round next week. The veteran shortstop has been plagued by plantar fasciitis and will finish the 2023 season having slashed a disappointing .230/.312/.399 with 18 home runs over 135 games.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Collects two hits after HBP

    Seager went 2-for-5 in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Angels.

    Seager, who was removed from Tuesday's game after getting hit by a pitch on the forearm, didn't miss much time. He was back in the starting lineup Wednesday and delivered a couple of singles. The shortstop extended his hitting streak to eight games, during which he's 10-for-32 (.313).

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Smacks leadoff homer

    Crawford went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and three walks in Wednesday's 8-3 loss to the Astros.

    Crawford made an early impact, opening the scoring on the second pitch he saw from Framber Valdez. Through 25 games in September, Crawford has gone 25-for-101 (.248) with six homers, 15 RBI and 15 walks. The shortstop is up to 18 long balls, 59 RBI, 92 runs scored, two stolen bases and a .264/.380/.434 slash line through 141 contests. He's also shown strong plate discipline with a 15.0 percent walk rate and a 19.8 percent strikeout rate.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: In lineup after HBP

    Seager (forearm) is starting at shortstop and batting second Wednesday against the Angels.

    Seager was removed from Tuesday's loss to the Angels a few innings after taking a Reid Detmers fastball off his right forearm, but X-rays turned up negative and he will immediately return to action for the Rangers in Wednesday's series finale. The 29-year-old has delivered a robust .332/.394/.640 batting line with 33 homers, 42 doubles and 96 RBI across 114 games this season.

  • Gabriel Arias SS | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Suffers fractured wrist

    Cleveland placed Arias on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a fractured right wrist.

    Arias suffered the injury in the fourth inning of Tuesday's loss to the Reds and will finish the 2023 campaign with a .210/.275/.352 slash line, 10 homers, 26 RBI, three steals and 36 runs in 122 major-league games. Brayan Rocchio has been summoned from Triple-A Columbus to help out at shortstop.

  • Brayan Rocchio SS | CLE

    Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Recalled from Columbus

    Cleveland recalled Rocchio from Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday.

    Rocchio will start at shortstop and bat sixth Wednesday against the Reds as Gabriel Arias heads to an early shutdown because of a fractured wrist. Rocchio, 22, has flashed good speed this season at the Triple-A level but carries a rough .242/.271/.303 batting line with 22 strikeouts through his first 70 major-league plate appearances.
