Morales slashed .342/.478/.691 with 14 home runs and 12 steals in 201 plate appearances in the Dominican Summer League.

A 6-foot-3 shortstop who was born in Spain and trained in the Dominican Republic, Morales received $1.9 million as one of the top prospects in the Jan. 15, 2024 international signing class. He is already pretty big for the six, so as he fills out his frame, Morales may end up as a slugging third baseman rather than a five-category shortstop.

Fitzgerald went 3-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI and three runs scored in Wednesday's 13-2 win over the Brewers.

Fitzgerald has kept his bat warm in September, going 12-for-35 (.343) over nine contests, though he's produced just one RBI this month. The shortstop is now at a .297/.352/.532 slash line with 14 home runs, 17 stolen bases, 31 RBI and 49 runs scored over 83 games. Wednesday was the first time he's hit leadoff versus a right-handed pitcher since Aug. 25 -- he hit between second and seventh for 13 consecutive games. The Giants haven't faced a southpaw since Aug. 21, though that streak of opposing righties is projected to end Sunday if Martin Perez (paternity list) returns as expected for the Padres.

Abrams went 2-for-4 with a home run and an additional run in Wednesday's 5-1 victory versus Atlanta.

Abrams crushed a 420-foot homer to center field in the fourth inning for his 20th homer of the campaign. It's the first time he's reached that mark in his career -- the shortstop fell just short with 18 long balls last year. Abrams also has 28 steals this season, making him one of 10 big leaguers to reach 20-20 so far.

Winn went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Reds.

Winn was in the lineup for nearly a month straight before receiving a day off Tuesday. He's batting just .114 (4-for-35) in September, adding two walks and 12 strikeouts over eight games this month, though the slump has yet to cost him his spot atop the order. The shortstop is at a .271/.319/.406 slash line with 11 steals, 12 home runs, 49 RBI and 70 runs scored over 135 contests this year.

Lindor went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Lindor delivered one of his biggest hits of the season Wednesday, breaking up Bowden Francis' no-hit bid with a solo home run to lead off the ninth, tying the game 1-1 and kickstarting the Mets' six-run frame. While Lindor has had a tremendous season overall, he'd been slumping a bit coming into Wednesday, going just 1-for-14 in his previous four contests. Overall, the 30-year-old shortstop is slashing .268/.340/.492 through 665 plate appearances this year with 31 homers, 85 RBI, 102 runs scored and 27 stolen bases.

Edwards is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Pirates.

Edwards is getting a second consecutive day off for. He isn't dealing with any known injury, so Edwards may just be getting a couple days to hit the reset button after posting a .433 OPS in seven games since returning from the injured list. Otto Lopez will start at shortstop in Wednesday's series finale.

De La Cruz went 1-for-3 with two walks, two stolen bases and one run scored in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Cardinals.

De La Cruz was also caught stealing once. He's actually been a little quiet on the basepaths lately, picking up three steals on five attempts over nine contests in September, though he's batting just .212 (7-33) in that same span. For the season, he leads the majors with 64 steals (on 79 attempts) while adding a .260/.344/.474 slash line, 23 home runs, 65 RBI, 96 runs scored, 33 doubles and eight triples through 144 contests.

Turner went 3-for-5 with a pair of two-run homers in Tuesday's 9-4 win over Tampa Bay.

Turner put the Phillies ahead 4-2 with his first home run off Taj Bradley in the third inning before cranking another two-run shot off Edwin Uceta in the eighth to cap the Phillies' five-run frame. Turner had gone just 1-for-10 in his previous three games prior to Tuesday's three-hit, four-RBI performance. The shortstop is now slashing .299/.345/.474 across 467 plate appearances this season with 18 homers, 55 RBI, 78 runs scored and 15 stolen bases.

McCoy is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

Since returning to the majors Aug. 21, McCoy has started in 16 games, and Tuesday marks the shortstop's third omission from the lineup in that span. Xander Bogaerts is shifting from second to shortstop with Jake Cronenworth sliding over from first to second base. Donovan Solano enters the lineup for McCoy as the first baseman, batting eighth.

Edwards is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

The 25-year-old started the previous seven games after a brief stint on the injured list due to back soreness, and he posted a .207/.226/.207 slash line with no extra-base hits and three steals during that stretch. Javier Sanoja will take over at shortstop and the leadoff role.
