  • Blue Jays' Leo Jimenez: Taking seat Tuesday

    Jimenez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Jimenez started the previous eight games but will receive a day off after going 4-for-24 with eight strikeouts during that stretch. Davis Schneider will man second base while batting eighth versus Boston righty Brayan Bello.

  • Max Schuemann 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Max Schuemann: Sitting Tuesday

    Schuemann isn't in the Athletics' lineup Tuesday versus the Rangers.

    Schuemann will get a chance to regroup Tuesday after going 0-for-10 with three strikeouts across his last four games. Darell Hernaiz will fill the opening at third base and bat ninth while Schuemann rests.

  • Bo Bichette SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Meeting with hand specialist

    Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Monday that Bichette (finger) traveled to Arizona this week to meet with a hand specialist, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

    Bichette has already been ruled out for the season with a fractured right middle finger, but the consultation with the specialist should help the infielder determine whether or not he'll need surgery to address the injury. Regardless of whether he gets surgery, Bichette should be back to full health in advance of spring training. The 26-year-old is scheduled to become a free agent after the 2025 season and could be a trade candidate this winter, though the Blue Jays may prefer to have Bichette rebuild some value after he posted a career-worst .599 OPS over 336 plate appearances in 2024.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Goes deep twice

    Neto went 3-for-5 with two home runs, a double and six RBI in Sunday's win over Houston.

    Neto put the Angels on the board with his two-run shot in the sixth inning. He then delivered two more clutch hits, a go-ahead solo homer in the eighth and a go-ahead three-run double in the ninth. He snapped a 10-game homerless drought, which was also a 3-for-39 (.077) slump. Neto is now slashing .248/.317/.444 with 23 home runs, 57 extra-base hits and 30 steals through 152 games.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Sitting for nightcap

    Story is not in the lineup for the second game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Twins, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

    The Red Sox are starting a rather surprising number of regulars in both ends of the twin bill, but Story is not among those starting in Game 2, which makes sense given he just returned earlier in September after missing five months with a dislocated left shoulder. Story went 1-for-4 with a run scored and three strikeouts in the Red Sox's 8-1 win in the early game. Nick Sogard with take over at shortstop and bat sixth against right-hander Zebby Matthews.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Homers, steals base in win

    Volpe went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer, a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's win over the Athletics.

    Volpe slugged a leadoff homer in his first at-bat to increase New York's lead to three runs and drew a free pass his second time around before swiping his 27th bag of the campaign. The shortstop has now tallied two RBI in back-to-back contests while also hitting safely in three straight. The long ball was his 12th of the campaign and his first since Aug. 3 against the Blue Jays.

  • Dylan Moore LF | SEA

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Productive on bases Saturday

    Moore went 0-for-3 with a walk, a hit-by-pitch, a stolen base and two runs in a win over the Rangers on Saturday.

    Moore managed to still make an impact during a hitless effort, ringing up his 31st steal of the campaign and scoring on both occasions during which he reached safely. The 32-year-old has hit just .214 over 35 plate appearances in September, but he boasts a .343 on-base percentage in that same span thanks largely to a 14.3 percent walk rate.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Laces triple in big win

    Crawford went 2-for-4 with a triple and a run in a win over the Rangers on Saturday.

    Crawford laced only his second three-bagger since the 2022 season as part of his third multi-hit effort during what is turning into a serviceable September. The veteran is hitting a modest .238 across 74 plate appearances this month, yet he boasts an impressive .351 on-base percentage thanks in part to his 12.2 percent walk rate in that same span. Crawford still has just a .205 batting average on the season, but that is an improved figure after his recent stretch of solid production.

  • Max Schuemann 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Max Schuemann: Day off versus lefty

    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.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Notches 21st steal

    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.
