Winn was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Francisco due to left thumb soreness, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Winn just returned from the 10-day injured list Tuesday after missing more than two weeks with a left thumb fracture, and it seems he might have been activated too soon. If Winn needs to go back on the IL, it would likely end his season. The Cardinals could offer more on the shortstop's status after Wednesday's contest. Jose Fermin will enter the lineup in Winn's place and will play second base, while Thomas Saggese will shift over to shortstop.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a double and a two-run home run in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Astros.

The shortstop took Hayden Wesneski deep in the sixth inning as the Phillies tried to rally from an early 5-0 deficit, but they couldn't quite find an equalizer. Turner snapped a 24-game power drought with the blast, his 18th of the season, and over that stretch he slashed a meager .184/.266/.245 with one steal, five RBI and 10 runs. Despite his struggles in 2026, Turner still sits two home runs and two stolen bases away from his fourth career 20-20 campaign.

De La Cruz went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.

De La Cruz supplied the Reds' runs when he took Tarik Skubal deep in the third inning. This was De La Cruz's fourth straight game with a homer and his sixth consecutive multi-hit effort, with the power surge getting him to 25 long balls on the year. The shortstop is batting .283 with an .868 OPS, 69 RBI, 88 runs scored, 26 doubles, five triples and 25 stolen bases. With one more homer this season, he'll set a career high.

Koss went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Cardinals.

Koss has four homers this season, all coming over his last 12 contests. He's batting .250 (10-for-40) with seven RBI in that span. The infielder is batting .219 with a .594 OPS, nine RBI, 22 runs scored, five doubles and two stolen bases over 164 plate appearances this season, so the recent power surge is a bit of a surprise. Koss should continue to see steady playing time in the infield to close out the campaign, though that could change if Willy Adames (elbow) or Marcelo Mayer (forearm) come off the injured list.

De Vries will undergo surgery to repair an anterior labrum tear in his right shoulder, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

De Vries is expected to require eight months to recover following his procedure, which will officially put an early end to his season and rule him out for the early portion of the 2027 campaign as well. The 19-year-old infield prospect will close the book on 2026 after slashing .287/.376/.453 with 13 homers, 55 RBI, 64 runs scored and 34 steals across 431 plate appearances at Double-A Midland.

Neto went 4-for-5 with a double and a two-run home run during the Angels' 6-1 win over the Red Sox on Tuesday.

Neto's four hits Tuesday were his second most of the season, and he capped off his night with a two-run home run over the Green Monster to give the Angels a five-run lead. The 25-year-old shortstop has had his ups and downs this season but is enjoying a productive season overall. Neto has a .242/.321/.436 slash line with 19 steals (in 30 attempts), 24 home runs and 69 RBI over 626 plate appearances this year.

McGonigle went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Twins.

McGonigle provided all of Detroit's offense in the fifth inning with his 16th home run of the season, which was his second long ball in as many nights. After slowing down a bit in August with a .231 batting average and .697 OPS across 27 games, the rookie infielder is aiming to wrap up his debut campaign with a flourish. No matter how he finishes the year, McGonigle has done more than enough to establish himself as a rising fantasy star heading into 2027.

Lindor went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Marlins.

Lindor set the tone early for the Mets' batters by taking the first pitch he saw from Sandy Alcantara deep to center field for a leadoff homer in the first inning. Lindor has a .222 batting average (14-for-63) over his last 15 games, but he's also smashed five home runs in that span while logging seven RBI and 12 runs scored.

Henderson was removed from Tuesday's game against the Guardians with an apparent foot injury, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.

Henderson fouled a ball off his foot during his at-bat in the eighth inning. He initially remained in the game, drew a walk and advanced to second on a Coby Mayo groundout, but he was then pulled after a visit from a trainer. He'll likely undergo imaging to determine whether he suffered a fracture, and the Orioles may provide more information on his health after the game.

The Cardinals activated Winn (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

After missing slightly over two weeks with a left thumb fracture, Winn will return to the lineup Tuesday. The 24-year-old will bat eighth and man shortstop for the second game of a three-game set against San Francisco. St. Louis demoted Cesar Prieto to clear a roster spot for Winn.
