Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD
Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Tallies four hits in rout
Rojas went 4-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in the Marlins' 10-2 victory over the Braves on Saturday.
Despite a small rotator cuff tear in his shoulder, Rojas continues to make the most of his chances as the Marlins' everyday shortstop. He now has a .354/.420/.532 slash line in the month of September, giving him a strong case to be the primary shortstop next season even when J.T. Riddle (shoulder) is back in the fold.

Tim Anderson 2B | LAA
White Sox's Tim Anderson: Out of lineup Saturday
Anderson is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Indians.
Anderson will receive a standard day off following 21 straight starts, while slashing .322/.337/.444 during that span. In his place, Tyler Saladino will pick up a start at shortstop.

Chris Owings SS | LAD
Diamondbacks' Chris Owings: Performing baseball activities in instructionals
Owings (finger) is taking part in baseball activities during the Diamondbacks' fall instructional league, but doesn't appear close to returning to game action, the Associated Press reports.
The Diamondbacks had ruled out the infielder for a return before the end of the regular season, and his continued rehab makes it unlikely that he'll play in either the Oct. 4 wild-card game or a potential divisional series that would follow. Owings' absence will lock Ketel Marte, Daniel Descalso and Brandon Drury in as the team's primary middle infielders heading into the postseason.

Paul DeJong SS | DET
Cardinals' Paul DeJong: Smacks 25th homer in loss
DeJong went 3-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored in Friday's loss to the Brewers.
The home run was DeJong's team-leading 25th of the season. A fourth-round pick in 2015, he broke into the majors in late May to little fanfare and ended up being one of the biggest surprises of the baseball season. DeJong's strikeout and walk rates are suspect, however; he'll be a tough player to rank and project in 2018.

Johan Camargo SS | SF
Braves' Johan Camargo: Out of lineup Friday
