    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Season over due to fractured finger

    The Blue Jays placed Bichette on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a fractured right middle finger, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    Bichette was scratched from the lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Rangers due to what the team initially referred to as a finger contusion. However, subsequent testing has revealed a fracture, which will end the shortstop's season. Injuries have limited Bichette to just 81 games in 2024, and he slashed a disappointing .225/.277/.322 with four home runs during that time. Ernie Clement and Leo Jimenez will handle shortstop for the Blue Jays down the stretch with Bichette out.

  • Brooks Lee SS | MIN

    Twins' Brooks Lee: Back on bench Thursday

    Lee is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians.

    The switch-hitting Lee had started in each of the Twins' last three matchups with right-handed pitchers, but he'll hit the bench for a second straight matchup with a lefty (Joey Cantillo). Though Carlos Correa looks poised to serve as the Twins' primary shortstop down the stretch following his recent activation from the injured list, Lee could factor into the mix for playing time at second base, where Minnesota has been rotating three players (Lee, Edouard Julien and Kyle Farmer) of late. Super-utility man Willi Castro is typically picking up starts out of the outfield but could settle in as the primary option at the keystone once outfielder Max Kepler (knee) returns from the injured list.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Productive in low-scoring contest

    Story went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 2-1 win against the Rays.

    There wasn't much offense between the two teams, but Story stuffed the stat sheet anyway, belting a solo homer in the sixth inning and swiping a pair of bags. The long ball was the shortstop's second since he returned Sept. 7 from an absence of over five months due to a dislocated shoulder. Since being activated from the IL, Story has batted .286 (10-for-35) with four RBI and four steals over 10 games.

  • Carlos Correa SS | MIN

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Plates four runs in loss

    Correa went 3-for-5 with four RBI in an extra-inning loss to the Guardians on Wednesday.

    All three of Correa's hits were singles, but they collectively resulted in three Twins runs. The shortstop added another RBI with a first-inning fielder's choice, so all four of Minnesota's runs came on plays off his bat. Correa has gone 5-for-10 with two walks in three contests since returning from the injured list Sept. 14.

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Scratched Wednesday

    Bichette was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Rangers due to a right middle finger contusion, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    Bichette went 2-for-5 with an RBI in his return from the injured list Tuesday, but he'll be prevented from playing Wednesday as he deals with a bruised finger. His absence will move Ernie Clement from third base to shortstop, and Addison Barger will enter the starting nine to start at the hot corner.

  • Rays' Jose Caballero: Taking seat Wednesday

    Caballero is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Red Sox.

    Cabellero started each of the previous five games for the Rays, but he will begin Wednesday's contest on the bench. Taylor Walls will garner the start at shortstop and will bat eighth.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Rare day off amidst slump

    Neto is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the White Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    In the midst of a 1-for-24 drought at the dish, Neto is receiving a rare day off. Jack Lopez will cover shortstop and bat second for the Angels while Neto gets some rest.

  • Jacob Amaya SS | CHW

    White Sox's Jacob Amaya: Fading into platoon role

    Amaya is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    After making 14 starts at shortstop in a 16-game stretch from Aug. 30 through Monday, Amaya now finds himself on the bench for the second day in a row. He's sat in each of the White Sox's last three matchups with right-handed pitchers, as Amaya looks to have moved into the short side of a platoon at shortstop with the lefty-hitting Nicky Lopez. Since joining the White Sox on Aug. 27 after being claimed off waivers from the Astros, Amaya is slashing .244/.311/.268.

  • Max Schuemann 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Max Schuemann: Getting day off

    Schuemann is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Cubs.

    Schuemann manned third base for the Athletics in each of the previous five games, but he will begin Wednesday's contest on the bench. Nick Allen will handle the hot corner and bat ninth.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Swipes 30th bag

    Witt went 0-for-2 with three walks, a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 3-1 extra-inning loss to the Tigers.

    Detroit made sure Witt wasn't going to make a big impact in a game with significant playoff implications for both teams, but he still found a way to contribute. Witt has produced back-to-back 30-30 campaigns, and the 24-year-old has taken his overall offensive game to another level in 2024 with a .331/.386/.598 slash line.
