  • Carlos Correa SS | MIN

    Twins' Carlos Correa: On bench Sunday

    Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

    The veteran shortstop went 1-for-2 with a double Saturday in his return from a two-month absence due to plantar fasciitis, and he'll head to the bench Sunday for the early afternoon series finale. Correa didn't play in any rehab games prior to being reinstated from the injured list, so it won't be surprising if the Twins continue to get him regular rest days as he gets back up to speed.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Logs three hits in win

    Story went 3-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Yankees.

    Story, who hit .167 over his first five games since returning from a shoulder injury, may be getting his timing down against MLB pitching. This was his second straight multi-hit effort, and he's gone 5-for-8 including a home run in that span.

  • Willy Adames SS | MIL

    Brewers' Willy Adames: Sets career high in homers

    Adames went 3-for-3 with two home runs, five RBI and a walk in Saturday's 15-8 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Adames had gone just 2-for-17 over his previous five games, but he broke the slump in a big way Saturday. He set a new career high for homers in a season with a solo shot in the fourth inning after blasting a grand slam during the Brewers' seven-run second. The shortstop is up to a .253/.334/.476 slash line over 148 contests, and he's added personal bests in stolen bases (18), RBI (107) and runs scored (87) this year.

  • Orlando Arcia SS | ATL

    Braves' Orlando Arcia: Plates three in win

    Arcia went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, three RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 10-1 win over the Dodgers.

    Arcia knocked in multiple runs for the first time since Aug. 30. The shortstop has had a quiet September so far, going 6-for-41 (.146), though three of his hits this month have gone for extra bases. He's at a .220/.275/.361 slash line with 16 home runs, 45 RBI, 45 runs scored and two stolen bases across 143 contests this season.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Belts 37th home run

    Henderson went 2-for-3 with a homer, two RBI, two runs and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Tigers.

    Henderson went deep Saturday, his 37th home run, which tied Marcell Ozuna for the fifth most in MLB in the process. Henderson is on pace for 40 homers this season, which would make him the fifth shortstop in history with 40 or more in a season. Henderson also had a double against the Tigers, and he now has 72 extra-base hits this season, which is the fifth most by an Orioles shortstop in a single season in franchise history.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Tops 100 RBI for first time

    Witt went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Pirates.

    His first-inning solo shot off Mitch Keller gave Witt his first career 100-RBI campaign, but he didn't rest on his laurels. The 24-year-old has put together an MVP-caliber season, slashing .333/.385/.599 with 31 homers, 28 steals, 102 RBI and 121 runs -- aside from the stolen bases, all those numbers represent career highs for Witt.

  • Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Still out Saturday

    Fitzgerald (back) isn't in the Giants' lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

    MRI scans revealed no structural damage in Fitzgerald's back Friday, but he'll need to miss a second consecutive start after departing Thursday's contest with tightness. Brett Wisely will shift to shortstop, opening up second base for Marco Luciano.

  • Jacob Amaya SS | CHW

    White Sox's Jacob Amaya: Out of Saturday's lineup

    Amaya is not in Saturday's lineup against the Athletics.

    Amaya has started 12 of the White Sox's last 13 games at shortstop since being recalled Aug. 30. He's hit .257 with two RBI and two runs scored in that span. Nicky Lopez will take over at shortstop in Amaya's place.

  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Nationals' CJ Abrams: Remaining out Saturday

    Abrams (shoulder) isn't in the Nationals' lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.

    Left shoulder soreness prevented Abrams from playing in Friday's game, and he'll need at least one more day to recover Saturday. While he rests, Nasim Nunez will get the starting nod at shortstop and bat ninth.

  • Blue Jays' Leo Jimenez: Scratched from lineup

    Jimenez was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Cardinals due to a right index finger contusion, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    Jimenez was set to return from a two-game absence caused by foot soreness. He's now dealing with a new injury, and it's unclear how long he will be sidelined.
