Turner went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Thursday's loss to the Mets.

Turner jumped on a hanging sinker from Luis Severino in the top of the third and sent it into the stands in left-center field to tie the game at 2-2. It marked the shortstop's 19th home run on the campaign and his fourth in September, and he's slashing .290/.338/.507 with 10 RBI and 11 runs scored on the month. Turner has also hit safely in each of his last five games.

Swanson went 3-for-4 with four runs scored in Thursday's 7-6 win over the Nationals.

The four runs in a game are easily a season high for Swanson, as his previous best was two runs, which he did on several occasions. The shortstop has been solid this month with a .319 batting average, three home runs, 10 RBI and 19 runs scored through 17 games. Swanson should continue to see regular playing time as the Cubs try to keep their slim playoff hopes alive.

Cruz (ankle) will start in center field and bat third in Thursday's game versus the Cardinals.

Cruz made a pinch-hit appearance Tuesday, but this will be his first start since he departed Sunday's game against the Royals due to left ankle discomfort. The 25-year-old is one home run shy of a 20-20 campaign but has a .574 OPS through 49 at-bats in September.

Adames isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

After clinching the NL Central on Wednesday, the Brewers will now give Adames his first off day of the season. Joey Ortiz will fill in as Milwaukee's shortstop while Andruw Monasterio starts at third base and bats ninth.

Rojas (leg) isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins.

A sore left leg prevented Rojas from playing in Wednesday's contest, and he'll need at least one more day to recover. Tommy Edman will move to shortstop while Rojas sits, allowing Andy Pages to pick up a start in center field and bat eighth.

Winn went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 10-5 win over the Pirates.

Winn has gone 8-for-34 (.235) with two homers (both solo shots) and a stolen base over his last eight games. He's picked up extra rest in September after playing nearly everyday for most of the second half. The shortstop is at a .271/.318/.411 slash line with 14 homers, 11 steals, 51 RBI and 75 runs scored through 141 contests this season.

Lindor (back) will remain out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza indicated Wednesday that Lindor was unlikely to be ready to play in the series opener versus the Phillies, and Martino has confirmed that the National League MVP candidate will indeed miss his fourth straight start with a back injury. The good news is that Lindor did resume baseball activities Wednesday, per Martino, so progress is being made. Lindor noted Monday after being examined that he expected to miss anywhere from two to five days, and it's going to be toward the latter end of that timetable, at minimum. Luisangel Acuna has started at shortstop of the Mets in each of the last two contests.

Tovar went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.

The performance wrapped up a productive six-game homestand for Tovar, as he went 7-for-26 with three home runs, six RBI and four runs scored. He's enjoyed a breakout season, highlighted by 25 homers and a .202 ISO -- a 47-point improvement from 2023.

Edwards went 1-for-5 with a pair of stolen bases in a loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday.

Edwards singled to lead off the Marlins' half of the first inning and stole second base before advancing to third on an error. The shortstop nabbed another theft in the seventh after getting aboard on another Los Angeles error, though he was subsequently thrown out trying to steal third. Edwards has four steals over his past three games to push his total to 30 on the campaign, tied for 12th in the majors.

Acuna went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 10-0 win over the Nationals.

This was Acuna's third multi-hit effort in five major-league games, and he has homered in consecutive contests. He's filled in admirably at shortstop while Francisco Lindor deals with a back injury. If Acuna continues to hit well, he could push for playing time somewhere else once Lindor returns, though he'll have to stay hot at the plate with the Mets in the thick of the wild-card race.
