Edwards went 4-for-6 with three triples, four RBI and two runs scored in Friday's win over Toronto.

Edwards knocked a pair of two-run triples in the second and seventh innings, sandwiched around another triple in the fourth. He became the first Marlin to ever rack up three triples in a game. It was Edwards' fourth consecutive multi-hit contest, during which he had five extra-base hits and seven RBI. For the year, he owns an impressive .327/.396/.420 slash line with 17 extra-base hits and 37 runs scored through 68 games.

Lindor (back) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Friday's game in Milwaukee, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Lindor had been slated to return to action Wednesday in Atlanta before that game got rained out. Instead, his eight-game absence will end Friday as the Mets open a series against the Brewers.

Cruz is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.

The left-handed-hitting Cruz will be given a day off as the Yankees send southpaw Carlos Rodon to the bump. Billy Cook is in center field and batting ninth for the Pirates in the series opener.

Tovar went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Thursday against the Cardinals.

Tovar has put together a productive close to the season, with Thursday's performance marking his fifth multi-RBI performance in his last 14 games. He's also struck out multiple times in seven of those contests, inflating his strikeout rate to 29.2 percent on the season. That swing and miss has been covered up by a .344 BABIP, something that may not continue into 2025 even with the benefit of Coors Field as his home park.

Edwards went 2-for-4 with an RBI, three runs, three walks and a stolen base in Thursday's extra-innings win over the Twins.

The infielder walked to lead off the contest before coming around to score Miami's first run on a Jake Burger double. Edwards later added an RBI single in the fifth, a double in the ninth and a stolen base in the 13th after drawing his third walk of the contest. He scored three times on the night, which marked a season high, as did his three free passes. He's tallied multiple hits in three straight games and is up to 31 stolen bases on the campaign, with nine of those thefts coming in September.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he's hopeful that Rojas will be able to return to the lineup for Sunday's regular-season finale in Colorado after the shortstop was removed from Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Padres due to an aggravation of a left adductor injury, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Rojas has been managing the issue for the last few weeks but had been able to play through the adductor injury before suffering a setback while running the bases Wednesday. According to Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times, Rojas is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Thursday to gain a better understanding of the injury, and he'll also receive an cortisone injection to relieve pain in the area. Both Rojas and Roberts are hopeful that by sitting out the next three games, the 35-year-old will be healthy enough to return to the lineup Sunday for one final tune-up before the playoffs.

Rojas was removed from Wednesday's game against the Padres due to left groin tightness.

Rojas seemed to tweak something in his leg while rounding third base and running back to the bag in the fourth inning, and he was replaced on defense once Los Angeles took the field to begin the fifth. The Dodgers will take a closer look at him in the clubhouse and should have more information on the severity of his injury in the near future, though Tommy Edman may be in line for more reps at shortstop if Rojas needs to miss any amount of time.

Lindor (back) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Hurricane Helene could put Wednesday's contest at risk of postponement as the storm makes its way to the Gulf Coast, but if the game is played, the Mets will have their star shortstop back in the fold after an eight-game absence. Lindor appeared in the on-deck circle in Tuesday's 5-1 loss, but he ultimately went unused after the Mets failed to put a runner on base in the top of the ninth inning. The Mets are apparently comfortable enough with how Lindor responded to a recent injection in his back to not only deploy him atop the batting order, but at his usual spot in the field. Assuming he steers clear of any setbacks Wednesday, Lindor will likely be in the lineup for each of the remaining four games of the season as the Mets look to secure a wild-card spot.

Cowles (wrist) went 1-for-13 with two walks and two runs over four games for Double-A Tennessee after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Sept. 9.

Acquired from the Yankees at the trade deadline July 30, Cowles wasn't expected to make his organizational debut with the Cubs until 2025 after he suffered a wrist injury when he was hit by a pitch in his final game for Double-A Somerset on July 25. Cowles ended up healing quicker than expected and got a few games under his belt with Tennessee, and he's now scheduled to pick up some more at-bats in the Arizona Fall League. Per Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times, Cowles was one of eight Cubs prospects assigned to the Mesa Solar Sox for the start of the Fall League, which begins Oct. 7.

Fitzgerald went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Fitzgerald put the cherry on top with a two-run blast in the fifth to put the Giants up 10-0. His power numbers have significantly dipped since he had that mini home run burst with 11 long balls in 17 games starting back on July 9. Tuesday's home run was only his third since Aug. 13 and just his second and third RBI in September. Fitzgerald is still putting together a productive campaign having permanently been back up with the Giants since June 28. For the year, he's slashing .287/.338/.510 with 35 extra-base hits, 33 RBI, 52 runs, 17 steals and a 20:101 BB:K in 325 plate appearances.
