Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with a solo homer, a triple, a double and an additional RBI in Thursday's 9-2 win over the Rockies.

Bogaerts fell a single shy of what would've been his first career cycle and the fourth in franchise history. Despite missing out on that achievement, he did become the first Padre to tally a home run and a triple in the same inning, per AJ Cassavell of MLB.com. The veteran shortstop also snapped a lengthy homer drought of 29 games. Through 581 trips to the plate this year, Bogaerts is slashing .226/.325/.336 with 12 big flies, 56 RBI, 21 stolen bases and 61 runs scored.

Medical imaging on Correa's surgically repaired left ankle revealed inflammation Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

The Astros announced Wednesday that Correa won't be able to make it back before the end of the season because he couldn't handle the workload he took on while rehabbing his ankle, and the inflammation appears to be a consequence of overworking himself. The results of his tests didn't reveal any structural damage, however, so there's still a strong chance that he'll be ready to go by the time the 2027 season begins.

Montgomery (wrist) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers.

Montgomery was forced to exit Wednesday's contest versus the Guardians with a left wrist contusion following a hit-by-pitch. X-rays were negative, and the left-handed-hitting Montgomery might not have started Thursday against Detroit southpaw Framber Valdez regardless of the injury. Luisangel Acuna will play shortstop for the White Sox in Thursday's series opener.

Tovar is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres.

Tovar will hit the bench for the third time in five games while the Rockies hand Cole Carrigg a start at shortstop. Though he's maintained a .769 OPS so far in September, Tovar is slashing just .215/.262/.338 with 11 home runs and seven stolen bases over 479 plate appearances on the season.

Mateo is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Mateo will hit the bench after he had started in eight of the Rays' previous nine games while going 4-for-26 with an 0:11 BB:K, three steals, three runs and two RBI. With Taylor Walls (hip) returning from the injured list Thursday and immediately stepping back into the lineup at shortstop, Mateo will likely be relegated to a utility role moving forward.

Pratt is absent from the lineup for Thursday's tilt in Pittsburgh.

Pratt returned to action Wednesday following a one-game absence due to illness, but he'll retreat back to the bench during Thursday's matinee. Joey Ortiz and David Hamilton will form the left side of the infield for the Brewers in the series finale.

Gonzalez is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers.

With left-hander Kyle Harrison on the bump for the Brewers, the left-handed-hitting Gonzalez will retreat to the bench for the third time in four games. Jared Triolo will spell Gonzalez at third base and will bat eighth.

Betts is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Cincinnati.

It appears to be a routine day of rest as the Dodgers wrap up a road trip with a matinee against the Reds. Miguel Rojas will play shortstop for the Dodgers in the series finale.

The Rays activated Walls (hip) from the 10-day injured list Thursday.

Walls required just a minimum 10-day absence as he recovered from a right hip flexor strain. He'll return to a lowly .218/.304/.292 batting line. Nick Madrigal was sent down to Triple-A Durham in a corresponding roster move.

Neto went 2-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 7-2 loss to the Mariners.

Neto is batting .309 (17-for-55) over 14 games in September, with this being his sixth multi-hit effort of the month. The shortstop is now at 21 steals this season, five fewer than he had in 2025. Through 147 contests, he's batting .243 with a .767 OPS, 26 home runs, 74 RBI, 96 runs scored, 29 doubles and five triples.
