Bichette (concussion) will not return this season, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

There are still a couple more steps before he can clear the concussion protocol, and with just two games left this season he won't have time to return. He did say Saturday that he is feeling better and will be restriction free this offseason. Richard Urena is starting at shortstop and hitting ninth against the Rays.

Anderson is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Tigers.

He is in the midst of a 13-game hitting streak, slashing .390/.393/.525 with two home runs and one steal over that stretch. Danny Mendick is starting at shortstop and hitting second.

Seager went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a victory over the Giants on Friday.

Seager sat out Thursday's game with a tight hamstring but was back in the lineup Friday, drilling a solo shot to right field in the second inning. The shortstop is ending the regular season on a high note with a .304/.337/.646 slash line, seven homers and 23 RBI in September.

Adames is not in Saturday's lineup against the Blue Jays.

He is hitting .274 with three home runs and zero steals in 23 games this month. Joey Wendle will start at shortstop and lead off.

Correa (back) will participate in workouts over the next week to determine his availability for the American League Division Series, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Correa is still with the team in Los Angeles but was not spotted at Angel Stadium prior to Friday's game. "We're going to have to see him do a lot of stuff between now and next Friday," Houston general manager Jeff Luhnow said. "He's going to have to ramp up his activity each day and give us comfort that he's ready to play. If he's not ready to play, he (could) be on the roster and not play. But, most likely, we'd have to use that roster spot for someone else." That Correa's not performing baseball activities at this time is concerning. The Astros will return to Houston on Monday and will have two scheduled workouts Wednesday and Thursday before the ALDS opens Friday, Oct. 4.

Edman went 3-for-4 with a stolen base, a run scored and a walk in Friday's 8-2 loss to the Cubs.

Edman's display of speed came in the fifth inning, when he reached on an infield single and swiped second in short order. He later scored on a Yadier Molina single in the seventh. Edman has 11 homers and 15 steals to go with a .305/.348/.500 slash line, 33 RBI and 58 runs scored in 90 games.

Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Friday's loss to Baltimore.

Bogaerts prevented a shutout by delivering an RBI single to center in the bottom of the ninth inning, but the Red Sox would fall 4-1. With only two games remaining in the regular season, the 26-year-old is hitting .306 with 32 homers and 114 RBI.

Seager (hamstring) is starting at shortstop and batting fifth Friday against the Giants.

Seager left Wednesday's matchup due to left hamstring tightness, but he's been cleared to return to action for the final weekend of the regular season. He's currently in the midst of a 10-game hitting streak and is slashing .459/.487/.784 with two home runs and nine RBI over that stretch.

Gordon (back) remains out Friday against the Athletics.

Gordon sat Thursday with a tight back and will be on the bench for at least one more game, although Greg Johns of MLB.com reports that the decision to sit Gordon on Friday was primarily related to giving younger players a chance to play. Accordingly, it's unclear if he's expected to start either of the final two games of the season. Donnie Walton will be the second baseman Friday.

Bichette (concussion) fielded grounders prior to Friday's game against the Rays, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

A concussion has kept Bichette sidelined for over a week. He's hoping to clear concussion protocol prior to the end of the season, though the Blue Jays have no reason not to be extra cautious with the promising young shortstop.
