  • Brayan Rocchio SS | CLE

    Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Out of Cleveland lineup

    Rocchio is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Astros.

    It's a day off for Rocchio, who had started each of the last four games and 12 of the past 13 contests. Daniel Schneemann will play shortstop and bat ninth for the Guardians.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Could be back by Saturday

    Angels manager Ron Washington said Thursday that Neto (shoulder) will not play Friday versus the Rangers but could be back in action Saturday and Sunday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Neto had to exit Thursday's game against the White Sox with right shoulder irritation after landing hard on a stolen-base attempt. However, while he will miss one start, it sounds like the injury will not be a season-ender.

    Angels' Zach Neto: Injures shoulder Thursday

    Neto was removed from Thursday's game against the White Sox due to a right shoulder injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Neto suffered the injury sliding into second base while attempting to steal the bag in the fourth. After he was removed, Jack Lopez moved to shortstop while Michael Stefanic entered to play second base, and the two would likely continue to form Los Angeles' middle-infield duo if Neto is forced to miss additional games.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Productive in Wednesday's win

    Henderson went 3-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 9-7 win over the Yankees.

    Henderson was one of six Orioles to log multiple hits in a 17-hit barrage. This was his fourth multi-hit effort during his seven-game streak, during which he's batting .387 (12-for-31). The shortstop's late surge has lifted his season numbers to a .285/.369/.536 slash line, 37 home runs, 91 RBI, 118 runs scored and 21 stolen bases on 25 attempts.

  • Rays' Jose Caballero: Getting Thursday off

    Caballero is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers.

    Caballero will get a breather for the series finale while Brandon Lowe and Taylor Walls serve as the Rays' starters in the middle infield. Over his last five games, Caballero has been caught stealing in both of his attempts, but his 44 steals on the season are still good for fourth place in the majors.

  • Bo Bichette SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Undergoing surgery on finger

    Bichette will undergo surgery Wednesday to have a pin inserted into his fractured right middle finger, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

    The pin will ensure the finger heals correctly. Bichette is expected to make a full recovery from surgery by the time spring training rolls around. The 26-year-old was limited to just 81 games in 2024 due to injury, slashing a disappointing .225/.277/.322 with four home runs.

  • Taylor Walls 3B | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: Heading back to bench Wednesday

    Walls is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

    Walls will hit the bench after a stretch of three consecutive starts and five starts in the past six games. The infielder has produced a weak .546 OPS in September, but that mark is actually an improvement over his season-long OPS of .519. He continues to see semi-regular playing time largely because of his defensive work.

  • Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela: Absent from lineup

    Rafaela is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Toronto, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

    Rafaela appears to be receiving a routine day off after he started each of the previous five contests. Jarren Duran will shift over to center field in Rafaela's stead, and Enmanuel Valdez will cover second base for the Red Sox.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Contributes game-winning hit

    Wilson went 1-for-3 with a walk-off RBI single and a walk in a win over the Rangers on Tuesday.

    The rookie drove home Zack Gelof with one out in the ninth inning to snap a 4-4 tie and send the Athletics home winners in their penultimate night game at Oakland Coliseum. Wilson now has singles in three straight games, but he's shown very little pop since his late-August return from a long IL stint with just four extra-base hits across 86 plate appearances.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Two hits, steal in win

    Witt went 2-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 1-0 extra-inning win over the Nationals.

    Witt's 10th-inning single and an error by the Nationals led to the Royals scoring the decisive run of the game. The shortstop has gone 12-for-30 (.400) with five extra-base hits, nine RBI and three steals over his last nine games. He's at a .335/.392/.597 slash line with 32 home runs, 108 RBI, 124 runs scored and 31 steals over 157 contests in his breakout campaign.
