  • Jose Caballero 2B | NYY

    Rays' Jose Caballero: Getting Thursday off

    Caballero is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers.

    Caballero will get a breather for the series finale while Brandon Lowe and Taylor Walls serve as the Rays' starters in the middle infield. Over his last five games, Caballero has been caught stealing in both of his attempts, but his 44 steals on the season are still good for fourth place in the majors.

    Dodgers' Miguel Rojas: Aiming to return Sunday

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he's hopeful that Rojas will be able to return to the lineup for Sunday's regular-season finale in Colorado after the shortstop was removed from Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Padres due to an aggravation of a left adductor injury, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

    Rojas has been managing the issue for the last few weeks but had been able to play through the adductor injury before suffering a setback while running the bases Wednesday. According to Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times, Rojas is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Thursday to gain a better understanding of the injury, and he'll also receive an cortisone injection to relieve pain in the area. Both Rojas and Roberts are hopeful that by sitting out the next three games, the 35-year-old will be healthy enough to return to the lineup Sunday for one final tune-up before the playoffs.

    Dodgers' Miguel Rojas: Departs with injury

    Rojas was removed from Wednesday's game against the Padres due to left groin tightness.

    Rojas seemed to tweak something in his leg while rounding third base and running back to the bag in the fourth inning, and he was replaced on defense once Los Angeles took the field to begin the fifth. The Dodgers will take a closer look at him in the clubhouse and should have more information on the severity of his injury in the near future, though Tommy Edman may be in line for more reps at shortstop if Rojas needs to miss any amount of time.

  • Bo Bichette SS | NYM

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Undergoing surgery on finger

    Bichette will undergo surgery Wednesday to have a pin inserted into his fractured right middle finger, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

    The pin will ensure the finger heals correctly. Bichette is expected to make a full recovery from surgery by the time spring training rolls around. The 26-year-old was limited to just 81 games in 2024 due to injury, slashing a disappointing .225/.277/.322 with four home runs.

  • Taylor Walls 3B | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: Heading back to bench Wednesday

    Walls is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

    Walls will hit the bench after a stretch of three consecutive starts and five starts in the past six games. The infielder has produced a weak .546 OPS in September, but that mark is actually an improvement over his season-long OPS of .519. He continues to see semi-regular playing time largely because of his defensive work.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Back in action Wednesday

    Lindor (back) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

    Hurricane Helene could put Wednesday's contest at risk of postponement as the storm makes its way to the Gulf Coast, but if the game is played, the Mets will have their star shortstop back in the fold after an eight-game absence. Lindor appeared in the on-deck circle in Tuesday's 5-1 loss, but he ultimately went unused after the Mets failed to put a runner on base in the top of the ninth inning. The Mets are apparently comfortable enough with how Lindor responded to a recent injection in his back to not only deploy him atop the batting order, but at his usual spot in the field. Assuming he steers clear of any setbacks Wednesday, Lindor will likely be in the lineup for each of the remaining four games of the season as the Mets look to secure a wild-card spot.

  • Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela: Absent from lineup

    Rafaela is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Toronto, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

    Rafaela appears to be receiving a routine day off after he started each of the previous five contests. Jarren Duran will shift over to center field in Rafaela's stead, and Enmanuel Valdez will cover second base for the Red Sox.

  • Cubs' Benjamin Cowles: Healthy heading into fall

    Cowles (wrist) went 1-for-13 with two walks and two runs over four games for Double-A Tennessee after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Sept. 9.

    Acquired from the Yankees at the trade deadline July 30, Cowles wasn't expected to make his organizational debut with the Cubs until 2025 after he suffered a wrist injury when he was hit by a pitch in his final game for Double-A Somerset on July 25. Cowles ended up healing quicker than expected and got a few games under his belt with Tennessee, and he's now scheduled to pick up some more at-bats in the Arizona Fall League. Per Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times, Cowles was one of eight Cubs prospects assigned to the Mesa Solar Sox for the start of the Fall League, which begins Oct. 7.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Contributes game-winning hit

    Wilson went 1-for-3 with a walk-off RBI single and a walk in a win over the Rangers on Tuesday.

    The rookie drove home Zack Gelof with one out in the ninth inning to snap a 4-4 tie and send the Athletics home winners in their penultimate night game at Oakland Coliseum. Wilson now has singles in three straight games, but he's shown very little pop since his late-August return from a long IL stint with just four extra-base hits across 86 plate appearances.

  • Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Goes deep Tuesday

    Fitzgerald went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks.

    Fitzgerald put the cherry on top with a two-run blast in the fifth to put the Giants up 10-0. His power numbers have significantly dipped since he had that mini home run burst with 11 long balls in 17 games starting back on July 9. Tuesday's home run was only his third since Aug. 13 and just his second and third RBI in September. Fitzgerald is still putting together a productive campaign having permanently been back up with the Giants since June 28. For the year, he's slashing .287/.338/.510 with 35 extra-base hits, 33 RBI, 52 runs, 17 steals and a 20:101 BB:K in 325 plate appearances.
