  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Multi-hit effort in loss

    Wilson went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in a loss to the Astros on Thursday.

    The rookie contributed only his second multi-hit effort since returning from the injured list Aug. 27, extending his hitting streak to six games in the process. Wilson has been making constant contact during that stretch, mustering a .333 batting average with a tiny 7.7 percent strikeout rate across 26 plate appearances.

  • Jose Caballero 2B | NYY

    Rays' Jose Caballero: Swipes 40th bag in win

    Caballero went 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's win over Cleveland while also drawing a walk.

    Caballero doubled in his second plate appearance before coming around to score on a fielding error. The infielder would then draw a walk and swipe his 40th bag of the season in his next trip to the plate, and later added an RBI single in the eighth. Caballero has now hit safely in four of his last five contests, driving in two runs over that stretch while stealing three bases. He's batting .310 (9-for-29) in September with two doubles, three RBI, three runs and three stolen bases.

  • Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Injury expected to be minor

    Fitzgerald does not believe the back injury he suffered against the Brewers Thursday is serious, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Fitzgerald said his back started to lock up in pre-game workouts and got worse before he was ultimately pulled in the third inning. The 26-year-old will undergo imaging Friday and seems likely to sit for the series opener versus the Padres, but he said he's dealt with similar issues previously without major concern.

  • Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Departs with back injury

    Fitzgerald exited Thursday's game against Milwaukee due to lower-back tightness, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Fitzgerald left the game in the third inning after going 0-for-1 in his lone plate appearance. The severity of the injury is currently unclear, so he should be considered day-to-day heading into Friday's series opener versus the Padres.

  • Thomas Saggese SS | STL

    Cardinals' Thomas Saggese: Breaks through in third game

    Saggese went 2-for-4 with one RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Reds.

    Saggese had nothing to show for through his first two games, going 0-for-7 with three strikeouts. He was finally able to check off some accomplishments Thursday, which included an RBI single in the eighth inning. The infield prospect flexed some power with Triple-A Memphis this year, hitting 20 home runs while slashing .253/.313/.438 across 125 contests prior to his call-up to the majors. Saggese will serve as infield depth during his time in the majors, though it's unclear if he'll stay up with the big club through the end of the regular season. The Cardinals are six games out of a wild-card spot, so it makes sense for them to give one of their top prospects an audition down the stretch.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Opens scoring with homer

    Winn went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Reds.

    Winn opened the scoring with a solo shot in the third inning off Jakob Junis. The long ball was Winn's first extra-base hit in six games, and this was also his first multi-hit effort since Sept. 1. The shortstop is now up to a .272/.320/.411 slash line with 13 homers, 50 RBI, 72 runs scored and 11 stolen bases over 136 contests this season.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Set for season-ending surgery

    Seager was diagnosed with a sports hernia and will have season-ending surgery Friday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

    Seager has been out for the last week due to what was originally deemed hip soreness. However, he has now been diagnosed with a sports hernia on his right side. There hasn't been any official word on his status for 2025, but he'll presumably be ready for spring training. Josh Smith has been filling in as Texas' shortstop and will presumably continue to do so over the final weeks of the season.

  • Jordan Lawlar SS | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Activated from injured list

    Lawlar (hamstring) was activated from the minor-league inured list Sept. 8, MLB.com reports.

    Lawlar was sidelined in mid-June due a Grade 1 hamstring strain and an aggravation caused him to miss more time than expected. The 22-year-old is Arizona's top prospect, but he's been limited to only 15 games in a frustrating campaign and will now look to close the season strong.

  • Taylor Walls 3B | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: Resting Thursday

    Walls isn't in the Rays' lineup for Thursday's game versus Cleveland, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Walls will take a seat Thursday after going 1-for-3 with an RBI during Wednesday's game against the Phillies. In his place, Jose Caballero will start at shortstop and bat sixth.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Held out of lineup again

    Edwards is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.

    It marks three games in a row that Edwards has been absent from Miami's lineup. He did receive two plate appearances off the bench in Wednesday's game versus the Pirates, so it seems as though Edwards is available. The switch-hitter did return from a back injury earlier this month, so this appears to be a situation where the Marlins are just being cautious with their young infielder. Otto Lopez is at shortstop in Thursday's series opener.
