MLB Player News

Rojas exited Sunday's game against the Brewers with an apparent injury, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas appeared to injure himself while diving for a groundball in the top of the second inning. He was holding his left wrist after the play, so he could be dealing with a wrist or potential shoulder injury. He was replaced by Mike Aviles at shortstop.

Baez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Baez has started 10 of the past 11 games, but he'll head to the bench as the Cubs look to sweep the series against the Cardinals. Though he's able to play a number of positions, Baez figures to see a downtick in playing time following fellow shortstop Addison Russell's activation from the disabled list Saturday.

Swanson is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

Johan Camargo will step in at short as Swanson sits following four consecutive starts. Swanson showed improvement initially upon his return to the majors, but he's hit another slide in recent weeks. While his dynasty-league stock has taken a considerable hit this season, Swanson is still just 23 and should have every opportunity to reverse the narrative in 2018.

Seager went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer Friday against the Nationals.

Seager crushed his 20th bomb of the year to break the game open in the second inning of a winning effort. The blast was his first since August 5, and his slugging percentage has dropped significantly since that time, but hopefully he'll get hot in time to help fantasy managers advance in the playoffs.

Arcia is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Marlins.

Arcia takes a seat on the bench for the series opener following a 1-for-3 day at the plate during Wednesday's victory over Pittsburgh. In his place, Eric Sogard draws the start, while batting atop the order.

Story (hamstring) is in Friday's lineup against the Padres, Jenny Cavnar of AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.

Story was forced to exit Thursday's game with a hamstring cramp, but the shortstop won't miss any additional time as he's back in the lineup for the series opener against San Diego on Friday. He is currently riding a six-game hitting streak, going 8-for-24 with two home runs and four RBI over that span.

Camargo is not in the lineup against the Mets on Friday.

Camargo continues to play sporadically since coming off the DL (knee) on Sept. 4, as Rio Ruiz draws the start at third base for Friday's affair. Since his return, Camargo is hitting .409 (9-for-22) with four extra-base hits and five RBI in six games. Moving forward, it appears as though he get starts about half the time, or maybe a little more, since manager Brian Snitker is content on giving Ruiz a decent amount of time at the hot corner.

Story was removed from Thursday's loss to the Diamondbacks with a cramp in his right hamstring, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Story did not seem concerned about his health following Thursday's game, so as long as he is only dealing with cramping, he will have a chance to return to action for the Rockies' next game Friday against the Padres. Story went 1-for-3 Thursday prior to exiting, extending his hitting streak to six games.

Owings (finger) will meet with a hand specialist for a checkup Monday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Since fracturing his right middle finger July 30 and subsequently landing on the 60-day disabled list, Owings hasn't hit any roadblocks in his recovery, so the checkup should just be deemed precautionary and could result in the infielder being cleared for hitting. Thus far during his rehab, Owings has been able to run the bases and field grounders at shortstop without issue, so once he adds hitting to his list of activities, he'll have a good chance at returning to the Diamondbacks when first eligible Sept. 29. That would provide him with a handful of games before the regular season ends to make his case for a spot on the Diamondbacks' postseason roster.

Baez went 4-for-5 with a solo homer and three runs scored in Wednesday's 17-5 shellacking of the Mets.

He hadn't produced a multi-hit game since Sept. 2, and Baez had put up just a .217/..280/.304 line over the Cubs' last nine games -- three of which saw him excluded from the stating lineup. Nonetheless, the 24-year-old infielder has enjoyed a breakout campaign this year, setting new personal bests across the board: hits (117), doubles (22), homers (22), RBI (69), runs (69) and OPS (.806).
