Crawford went 2-for-4 with a triple and a run in a win over the Rangers on Saturday.

Crawford laced only his second three-bagger since the 2022 season as part of his third multi-hit effort during what is turning into a serviceable September. The veteran is hitting a modest .238 across 74 plate appearances this month, yet he boasts an impressive .351 on-base percentage thanks in part to his 12.2 percent walk rate in that same span. Crawford still has just a .205 batting average on the season, but that is an improved figure after his recent stretch of solid production.

Schuemann isn't in Oakland's lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Southpaw Carlos Rodon will toe the slab for New York on Saturday, meaning the left-handed bat of Schuemann won't be part of Oakland's starting nine. Nick Allen will replace him at the hot corner while batting ninth.

De La Cruz went 3-for-5 with a home run, four RBI and an additional run scored in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Pirates.

De La Cruz reached yet another milestone Saturday, becoming the youngest player in MLB history with 25 homers and 60 stolen bases in a season. He also joins Ronald Acuna and Joe Morgan as the only players with 35 doubles, 25 homers and 60 stolen bases in a season. De La Cruz tied his season high in RBI with four, with both instances coming over his last eight games.

The Giants optioned Luciano to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.

Luciano will yield his spot on the active roster to Matt Chapman, who was activated from the paternity list Saturday. Luciano went 3-for-31 with a 42.4 percent strikeout rate during his 10-game stint with the Giants.

Lindor (back) will go through a full series of baseball activities Saturday, but he is not expected to play until Tuesday's series opener in Atlanta at the earliest, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Lindor will wind up missing at least seven consecutive starts due to back pain. With a team off day coming Monday, the Mets will give the star shortstop some additional rest. While a Tuesday return isn't guaranteed, the fact that Lindor was cleared to resume full baseball activities this weekend is an encouraging development. In the meantime, Luisangel Acuna should continue to start at shortstop in Lindor's stead through Sunday.

Henderson went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 7-1 win over the Tigers.

Over his last 11 games, Henderson has five multi-hit efforts and four steals. The shortstop is batting .333 (15-for-45) in that span, though his move back to leadoff at the start of the month has diminished his opportunities to generate RBI. For the year, he has a .283/.366/.538 slash line with 37 home runs, 21 steals, 87 RBI and 115 runs scored, with all of those numbers being significant improvements on his rookie-year stats from 2023.

Lindor (back) isn't in the Mets' lineup Saturday versus the Phillies.

Lindor will be missing his sixth straight start Saturday as a result of the back injury he suffered last week. He went through a full workout ahead of Friday's contest, but the 30-year-old seemingly still has a few boxes to check off before returning to the starting nine. Luisangel Acuna will pick up a start at shortstop and bat ninth while Lindor sits.

Caballero is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.

Caballero will yield to Taylor Walls at shortstop Saturday, marking Caballero's second absence in the last four games. In September, Caballero is 11-for-49 (.224) with a 32.1 percent strikeout rate.

Edwards isn't part of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

After making seven straight starts, Edwards will get the day off Saturday against Max Fried and Atlanta. Javier Sanoja will slot in at shortstop and bat sixth.

The Nationals optioned Abrams to Triple-A Rochester on Saturday, Britt Ghiroli of The Athletic reports.

Since the All-Star break, Abrams has slashed just .203/.260/.326 with five home runs and 17 RBI -- a stark contrast from the .832 OPS he logged during the first half of the year. However, manager Dave Martinez said Saturday that Abrams' demotion is not related to his performance. Instead, the decision to send him down to the minors comes amid reports that he stayed out past curfew at a casino in Chicago prior to Friday's early-afternoon game against the Cubs, per Jeff Passan of ESPN.com. With Rochester's season wrapping up, the 23-year-old will instead report to the Nationals' complex in Florida for the final week of the season. Meanwhile, Nasim Nunez will likely be first in line to take over as Washington's primary shortstop.
