  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Phillies' Trea Turner: Set to face live pitching this week

    Turner (hamstring) is scheduled to face live pitching Tuesday and Wednesday at Citizens Bank Park, Bob Cooney of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Manager Rob Thomson adds that Turner is recovering well from his Grade 1 right hamstring strain and that the star shortstop will be reinstated from the injured list once he's able to run close to 100 percent. A return before the end of the regular season for Turner remains in play, though his earliest possible activation date appears to be Thursday based on the next steps in his rehab.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Connects for grand slam in win

    Crawford went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Astros.

    Crawford is up to 12 homers on the year, including three over his last eight games. In that span, he's gone 10-for-29 (.345) while adding eight RBI. The shortstop has a .266/.353/.374 slash line with 58 RBI, 67 runs scored, 24 doubles and eight stolen bases through 152 contests overall.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Scratched from lineup

    Pena was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Mariners due to left oblique soreness, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

    Pena was originally set to bat leadoff and play shortstop in Sunday's series finale, but he'll now head to the bench. Mauricio Dubon will replace him against Seattle, and more information on Pena's status will likely come in the near future.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Extends hitting streak to 10 games

    Lindor went 1-for-4 with a solo homer during the Mets' 3-2 loss to the Nationals on Sunday.

    Lindor reduced the deficit to one run in the sixth frame with a solo shot off Jake Irvin. It was Lindor's 28th homer of 2025, putting him two away from logging 30 home runs for a third consecutive season. He is in the midst of a 10-game hitting streak, and over that span he has gone 13-for-39 (.333) with three steals, 13 runs, two homers and three RBI.

  • Nasim Nunez SS | WAS

    Nationals' Nasim Nunez: Goes deep in win

    Nunez went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer during the Nationals' 3-2 win over the Mets on Sunday.

    Nunez capped off the Nationals' three-run second inning with a two-run shot off Sean Manaea. Since being recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Sept. 1, he has gone 6-for-26 (.231 average) with three home runs, one steal and seven RBI. Nunez should continue to fill a utility role for the Nationals in the final week of the season, with most of his starts likely to come against left-handed pitching.

  • Jared Triolo 3B | PIT

    Pirates' Jared Triolo: Big day in win

    Triolo went 4-for-5 with a two-run homer, a double, three total RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's 11-0 win over the A's.

    Triolo extended Pittsburgh's lead to 4-0 in the second inning with a 402-foot blast off Mitch Spence, his seventh homer this year. Triolo's four hits Sunday also marked a season high. The 27-year-old infielder is batting .304 with an .879 OPS and four homers in his last 30 contests.

  • Vidal Brujan 2B | ATL

    Braves' Vidal Brujan: Exits with hip injury

    Brujan was removed from Sunday's game against the Tigers with right hip tightness.

    Brujan, who picked up a start at third base Sunday, went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored prior to exiting and being replaced by Luke Williams. Given that Brujan rarely starts -- he had eight at-bats this month prior to Sunday -- he may not return to the lineup as soon as he's healthy.

  • Josh H. Smith SS | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Smith: Taking seat against righty

    Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

    The left-handed-hitting Smith has been a mainstay in the lineup versus right-handed pitching all season, but he'll hit the bench Sunday while the Marlins send righty Eury Perez to the hill. Smith's exit from the lineup comes after he went just 2-for-21 with one walk against six strikeouts over the past six games.

  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Nationals' CJ Abrams: Managing shoulder injury

    Abrams is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets due to a jammed right shoulder, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    Nasim Nunez will fill in at shortstop in place of Abrams, who sustained the injury when he was tagged out while trying to advance to third base in the 11th inning of Saturday's 5-3 win. According to interim manager Miguel Cairo, Abrams will be available to pinch hit Sunday if needed, so the 24-year-old's absence from the lineup appears to be mostly precautionary in nature.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Getting third straight start

    Baez will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Sunday's game against Atlanta.

    Baez will be making his third consecutive start after going 1-for-6 at the dish over the first two contests of the series. With Colt Keith (rib) recently landing on the injured list, Zach McKinstry will likely platoon at third base with Andy Ibanez for the remainder of the regular season, leaving Baez to handle shortstop.
