Lindor went 3-for-5 with one run scored in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Marlins.

This was Lindor's 10th multi-hit effort in his last 15 games, a span in which he's batting .455 (30-for-66). All three of his hits were singles Thursday, and he has a modest nine extra-base hits (four home runs, five doubles) during that hot stretch. The shortstop is up to a .269/.336/.457 slash line with 25 homers, 27 doubles, 24 stolen bases, 73 RBI and 91 runs scored over 132 contests this season.

Swanson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Giants.

The homer was Swanson's 19th of the year and his first since Aug. 6 versus the Reds. The veteran shortstop remains a decent source of power and speed for fantasy managers, though his numbers aren't particularly outstanding. For the year, Swanson is slashing .247/.297/.410 with 19 doubles, 59 RBI, 72 runs scored and 10 stolen bases over 536 plate appearances.

Adames went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Cubs.

It was the fourth multi-homer game of the season and second such effort of the month for Adames, who piled up at least three RBI for the seventh time this year. The slugging shortstop has provided plenty of power and speed production despite a poor average lately -- Adames is slashing .233/.358/.651 with six big flies, eight RBI and three stolen bases over his last 53 plate appearances.

Single-A San Jose placed Kilen on its 7-day injured list Aug. 16 due to an unspecified injury.

Kilen, the No. 13 overall pick in the First-Year Player Draft back in June, slashed .205/.279/.282 with no home runs or stolen bases in 10 games for San Jose before landing on the IL. The Giants haven't indicated whether the 21-year-old shortstop has any chance of returning before the California League season comes to a close in September.

Allen is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Philadelphia.

It's the second straight day and third time over the last six contests that Allen has begun the game on the bench. Vidal Brujan has filled in at shortstop in all three of those tilts Allen has sat out, and Brujan will be at short and bat ninth again for Thursday's series opener.

Ortiz (hamstring) said Thursday that he's running at close to 100 percent and is on track for activation from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Monday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

It's not clear whether Ortiz will be asked to go out on a brief rehab assignment prior to being activated, but either way, he appears set to rejoin the big club for the start of its series next week against the Phillies. The shortstop has missed the last week of action with a left hamstring strain, with Andruw Monasterio stepping in as his primary replacement in the everyday lineup.

Ritter is out of the lineup for Thursday's game in Houston.

Though he's hitting .294 since being activated from the injured list Aug. 15, Ritter hasn't yet taken full control of an everyday role at second base for the Rockies. He'll hit the bench for the third time in four games while the Rockies use Tyler Freeman at the keystone on Thursday.

Triolo is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in St. Louis.

Triolo saw his streak of five straight multi-hit games come to an end during Wednesday's 2-1 win, though he drew two walks and scored a run. With Triolo getting a day off Thursday, the Pirates will turn to Liover Peguero at shortstop.

De La Cruz went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Dodgers.

De La Cruz has slumped during the month of August, and a recent report indicated he was managing a quadriceps injury. There may be some validity to that reporting, as Wednesday's stolen-base attempt was his first in 15 games and third attempt this month, his lowest monthly output in 2025. When he didn't get on base Tuesday, De La Cruz struck out four times, upping his monthly total to 35 (33.0 percent strikeout rate).

Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Milwaukee.

Perdomo's leadoff home run in the eighth inning gave the Diamondbacks a needed insurance run. It was his 15th homer and continued a torrid month of August, during which the shortstop is slashing .366/.478/.591 with four home runs, 12 RBI, 19 walks, eight steals and 27 runs over 25 contests.
