MLB Player News

Rojas is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Rojas has gone just 4-for-30 at the plate over his last seven games. He'll get a rest Tuesday, with Jazz Chisholm sliding to shortstop and Eddy Alvarez starting at second base.

Ahmed is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers.

He'll take seat after logging singles in each of the past three games. Josh Rojas will shift to shortstop as Ketel Marte moves to second base.

Lindor went 1-for-2 with two walks in Monday's 7-0 loss to the Cardinals.

The Mets are finally seeing the player they thought they traded for in the offseason, although Lindor's turnaround might have come too late to salvage their playoff hopes. Over 13 games in September, the shortstop is slashing .283/.404/.717 with six homers, 14 RBI and 14 runs.

Bichette went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 8-1 win over the Rays.

He took Ryan Yarbrough deep in the fifth inning, giving the Jays a 5-0 lead at the time. Bichette has a six-game hit streak going during which he's slashing .423/.444/.769 with three of his 24 homers on the year -- a blistering pace to be sure but merely above average on a Toronto squad that as a team boasts a ridiculous 1.044 OPS in September.

Anderson (hamstring) was activated off the injured list as expected Tuesday.

Anderson had been on the shelf with a strained left hamstring since late August. He was on fire immediately prior to the injury, hitting .364 with four homers over his last 14 games. Danny Mendick was sent to Triple-A Charlotte to clear space for Anderson's return.

Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a double and solo home run in Monday's 5-4 loss to Seattle.

Bogaerts and Rafael Devers went back-to-back in the eighth inning, but Boston's comeback fell short. This was Bogaerts' fourth game back after a stay on the COVID-19 injury list. The shortstop is 4-for-11 since his return.

DeJong is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

DeJong went 2-for-10 with a solo home run and a stolen base while starting in each of the Cardinals' last four games, but he'll shift back to a bench role now that top shortstop Edmundo Sosa (wrist) is back in the lineup to begin the week. So long as Sosa stays healthy the rest of the season, DeJong likely won't be in store for more than 2-to-3 starts per week.

Crawford (wrist) will be in the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

Crawford was held out of Sunday's series finale against the Cubs after he exited Saturday's game with wrist soreness, but he'll return to action after a one-game absence. Across his four appearances prior to his injury, the 34-year-old went 7-for-14 with a home run, a double, four runs and four RBI.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base Sunday in a victory over the Padres.

Turner entered the contest without a steal in his past 13 games, but he ended the drought with a first-inning theft of second base. The infielder is just 1-for-11 over his past three games but still leads the National League with a .316 batting average and 27 stolen bases.

Edman went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in a win over the Reds on Sunday.

Nolan Arenado did all the damage on the scoreboard with a first-inning two-run home run, but Edman gave fantasy managers something to smile about with more success on the basepaths. The proficient leadoff hitter's stolen base was his fourth of September and 25th of the campaign, and he's now sporting a modest three-game hitting streak as well.
