  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Does light jogging on field Monday

    Seager (abdomen) did some light jogging on the field Monday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

    Seager underwent an appendectomy Aug. 28 and he remains sore, Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Monday. A return before the end of the season for Seager remains possible, but it doesn't appear imminent. Josh Smith has served as Texas' primary shortstop since Seager went on the 10-day injured list.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Past shoulder injury

    Volpe is not starting for the Yankees against the Twins on Monday, but New York manager Aaron Boone relayed that the 24-year-old shortstop is healthy enough to be a "full player," Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.

    Volpe will be out of the Yankees' starting lineup for a sixth consecutive game, but the cortisone shot he received for his partially torn labrum has helped in his recovery. Boone said that Volpe is healthy enough to start Monday, but Jose Caballero will draw the start at shortstop and bat eighth for the series opener. Volpe and Caballero could be looking at split playing time in the two weeks leading up to the postseason.

  • Bo Bichette SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Getting second opinion on knee

    Bichette is receiving a second opinion on his injured left knee from Dr. Dan Cooper in Dallas on Monday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    The initial diagnosis on Bichette is that he's dealing with a sprained PCL, and the Blue Jays hope to have a better idea as to the shortstop's timeline for a return after his visit with a specialist Monday. Bichette plans to rejoin the Blue Jays in Tampa Bay this week, but it seems unlikely he'll be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Wednesday. With Bichette sidelined, Andres Gimenez has handled shortstop in each of Toronto's last three games.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Not starting Monday

    Volpe (shoulder) is not in the Yankees' starting lineup against the Twins on Monday.

    Volpe will miss a sixth consecutive game due to a partially torn left labrum. He received a cortisone shot this past Wednesday to help with the healing, but he has not recovered enough to return to the lineup for Monday's series opener but could be available off the bench, per Chris Kirschner of The Athletic. Jose Caballero will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Volpe's absence.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Reaches base thrice Sunday

    Lindor went 1-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base and a run in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Rangers in 10 innings.

    Lindor's seventh-inning base knock extended his hitting streak to four games, but he's still struggled on the whole so far in September, slashing .196/.356/.304 through 13 contests. He's remained active as runner when he's reached base, however, with his stolen base in Sunday's contest locking up the second 30-steal campaign of his career. Lindor should continue to play on an everyday basis over the final two weeks of the season as the Mets look to stave off the Giants, Diamondbacks, Reds and Cardinals for the final wild-card spot in the National League.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Set for knee procedure

    Winn is expected to undergo arthroscopic surgery within the next two weeks to address a torn meniscus in his right knee, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    Before Winn was placed on the injured list Saturday, manager Oliver Marmol confirmed that the slick-fielding shortstop won't take the field again in 2025 since he hadn't bounced back as well as the Cardinals had hoped while playing through the knee injury over the last several weeks. The surgery should help provide more permanent relief for the 23-year-old, who previously had a similar procedure on the same knee in high school, according to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Winn noted that after the previous surgery, he had resumed playing within three months, and the expectation is that he'll be available as a full participant for the start of spring training in February. Thomas Saggese has started each of the Cardinals' last five games at shortstop and is likely to serve as the primary option at the position for the remainder of the season.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Gearing up for return in final week

    Manager Mike Shildt said that Bogaerts (foot) took ground balls, tracked live pitches and took swings in the batting cage during a workout Saturday and could continue his rehab program at the Padres' facility in Arizona during the upcoming week, MLB.com reports.

    The Padres placed Bogaerts on the 10-day injured list Aug. 29 due to a non-displaced fracture in his left foot, but the veteran infielder is progressing well in his recovery and is targeting a return to the lineup during the final week of the regular season. While Bogaerts has been shelved, the Padres have prioritized offense over defense of late, as Jake Cronenworth and Luis Arraez (head) have been seeing more starts at shortstop and second base, respectively, in order to open up a regular spot in the lineup at designated hitter for Gavin Sheets.

  • Chase Meidroth SS | CHW

    White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Pops fifth homer

    Meidroth went 1-for-3 with a solo home run against the Guardians on Sunday.

    Meidroth delivered his fifth home run of the season in the fifth inning to tie the game at 2-2. It was also his second long ball in 26 games since returning from the injured list, and he's maintained a .330 average with eight RBI, 13 runs scored and two stolen bases in that span.

  • Ezequiel Tovar SS | COL

    Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Ends skid at plate

    Tovar went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Padres.

    Tovar entered Sunday's game hitless in his last six starts -- all of which came on the road -- while also striking out 12 times across 19 at-bats in that span. He ended that stretch with a single in the sixth inning and then delivered an RBI double one frame later. Tovar is still hitting .250 since Sept. 1 and now has three RBI and five runs scored with a stolen base in that 13-game span.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Out for fifth straight game

    Volpe (shoulder) remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

    Volpe will stick on the bench for a fifth straight game while he continues to recover from the cortisone shot he received Wednesday to aid the healing of his partially torn left labrum. Even if the injection yields the desired effect and Volpe is deemed ready to play during the upcoming week, it's unclear if he would take back an everyday role at shortstop. Volpe's job security had been slipping prior to his recent shutdown; he's posted a poor .188/.244/.412 slash line since the All-Star break and has also endured some hiccups on the defensive end.
