  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Brewers' Willy Adames: Goes through workout

    Adames (quadriceps) went through a leg workout on the field prior to Friday's game against Cleveland, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Adames hit the injured list Sunday with a strained left quadriceps. He hit in the batting cage Wednesday and has now resumed leg exercises, which could indicate that he's in line for a short absence, though he doesn't expect to be 100 percent once he returns.

  • Jose Barrero SS | BAL

    Reds' Jose Barrero: Back in big leagues

    Barrero was recalled by the Reds on Friday.

    Barrero takes the spot of Kyle Farmer, who was placed on the paternity list. He'll fill in for Farmer at shortstop for Friday's game against the Cardinals and may start there Saturday and Sunday as well, but it's not clear whether or not he'll have a roster spot once Farmer returns.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Braves' Dansby Swanson: Receives rare rest

    Swanson will sit Friday against the Marlins.

    Swanson sits for just the second time all season. He's looked like he's in need of a rest lately, going hitless in six of his last seven games. Orlando Arcia will get the start at shortstop.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Dodgers' Trea Turner: Extends hitting streak to 16

    Turner went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Thursday's loss to St. Louis.

    Turner notched half of the Dodgers' four hits in the contest and knocked in the team's lone run with a third-inning RBI single. The infielder's effort extended his hitting streak to 16 games, a career-best mark and the longest on the team this season. During the streak, he is batting .308 with two home runs, six doubles, nine runs and a pair of stolen bases.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Mets' Javier Baez: Impactful offensive performance

    Baez went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, a double and a stolen base in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Marlins. He also drew a walk.

    Baez has come alive in the month of September. He doubled and scored in the first inning Thursday, gave the Mets a 2-0 lead with his homer in the third and walked and stole a base in the sixth. The 28-year-old is slashing .364/.432/.727 in nine games since the start of the month and boasts multi-hit efforts in four of his last seven.

  • Ronny Mauricio 2B | NYM

    Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Advances to Double-A

    Mauricio was promoted to Double-A Binghamton on Thursday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

    Mauricio hasn't excelled at the plate this season, with his .242/.290/.449 slash line in 100 games for High-A Brooklyn equating to a sub-par 94 wRC+. He's been much better over his last 50 games, however, posting an .814 OPS after struggling to a .666 OPS over his first 50. Considering that he's just 20 years old and is also a full-time shortstop, there's reason to be encouraged as he works his way into the upper minors.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Dodgers' Corey Seager: Day off Thursday

    Seager isn't starting Thursday's game against the Cardinals, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Seager will get a breather after he went 4-for-10 with a double, three RBI and two runs across the last three games. Trea Turner will shift to shortstop while Mookie Betts starts at second base.

  • Nick Ahmed SS | TEX

    Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Slugs late homer

    Ahmed went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-5 loss to Texas.

    The shortstop went yard in the ninth inning, but Arizona's two-run rally wasn't enough to get close to a tie. Five of Ahmed's last 10 hits have gone for extra bases (three doubles, one triple, one homer), a span of 10 games overall. He's hitting .223/.283/.345 with five long balls, 38 RBI, 45 runs scored and seven stolen bases across 450 plate appearances this year, but he continues to see a significant share of playing time.

  • Giants' Brandon Crawford: Reaches 20-homer mark

    Crawford went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in Wednesday's 7-4 win over Colorado.

    The 34-year-old erased a three-run deficit with his sixth-inning blast, which earned him his second 20-homer season. Crawford has stayed hot at the plate in September, going 10-for-28 (.357) with six RBI, three runs scored and three doubles in addition to Wednesday's homer. For the year, the shortstop owns a career-best .293/.364/.513 slash line with 80 RBI, 61 runs scored and 10 stolen bases across 462 plate appearances.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Brewers' Willy Adames: Hitting in batting cage

    Adames (quadriceps) hit in the batting cage Wednesday and revealed he may not be 100 percent recovered until the offseason, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Adames landed on the injured list Sunday after aggravating his strained left quad, and it's unclear how long he's going to be sidelined. The 26-year-old should return this season but isn't expected to be fully healthy, though he hopes to get back to "at least 95 percent" in advance of the playoffs.
