Henderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-0 win over the Rays.

Henderson had half of the Orioles' hits in the low-scoring contest. After batting .234 with five homers over 28 games in August, Henderson has made noise with three long balls over the first five games in September. The star shortstop is up to a .282/.368/.543 slash line with 36 homers, 85 RBI, 108 runs scored, 17 stolen bases, 25 doubles and six triples through 140 contests this season.

Rocchio went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 3-1 win over the Dodgers.

Rocchio hit a single in the sixth inning and scored on an Andres Gimenez homer before going yard himself in the eighth. Over his last six games, Rocchio has gone 7-for-19 (.368) with two homers and five RBI. That hot bat has helped him keep a spot in the lineup at shortstop on a regular basis. He's now slashing .215/.301/.331 with eight homers, 32 RBI, 48 runs scored, nine stolen bases and 15 doubles across 384 plate appearances this year.

Castro is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Royals.

Castro continues to operate in a near-everyday role for Minnesota while bouncing between shortstop and center field. He's been in a bad way at the dish with just two hits in his last seven games, but for the year Castro's been worth close to three wins above replacement by fWAR.

Manager John Schneider said Friday that the plan is for Bichette (calf) to join Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Bichette is expected to need 4-5 games with the affiliate before he's cleared to rejoin the big-league roster. Sidelined since mid-July with a right calf strain, Bichette has been able to run the bases several times this week and will remain with the Blue Jays in Atlanta through the weekend. He's in the midst of a down year with a .222/.275/.320 slash line through 80 games, and there are questions about his future in Toronto.

Story (shoulder) will be activated Saturday and will start at shortstop against the White Sox, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

This is a big surprise, as it wasn't clear that Story would be able to return so quickly after beginning a rehab assignment Sept. 1. He played four games at Triple-A and hit .375 with one steal and zero home runs. The plan is for Story to play shortstop and Ceddanne Rafaela to play second base down the stretch.

Caba is hitting .180 with a .308 on-base percentage, zero home runs, 13 steals and as many walks (15) as strikeouts in 24 games for Single-A Clearwater.

Given that Caba logged a .427 OBP, 15.1 percent strikeout rate and 37 steals in 52 Florida Complex League games while showcasing plus defense at shortstop prior to his promotion to Single-A, this season has still been a positive one for the the 18-year-old switch hitter. Caba's glove will likely get him to the big leagues, where his plus speed could make him relevant in fantasy if he gets enough playing time. It's still to be determined how much of an impact the 5-foot-9 shortstop will make at the plate.

Francisca is slashing .325/.412/.477 with seven home runs, 18 steals on 21 attempts and a 15.4 percent strikeout rate in 71 games across the Arizona Complex League and Carolina League.

The 18-year-old switch hitter has made 23 starts at shortstop and three at second base since his promotion to Single-A Lynchburg on July 29. Francisca doesn't have the loudest tools, but he's pretty good at everything and has performed well while being young for his levels.

Fitzgerald went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Fitzgerald's memorable power binge in early August has given way to an 18-game homer drought, during which he's hitting .254 (18-for-71) with four doubles and five steals. He's still seeing steady playing time at shortstop, but he's no longer regularly hitting atop the order. Fitzgerald has still put together an impressive campaign with a .300/.353/.544 slash line, 14 home runs, 17 steals, 30 RBI and 45 runs scored over 272 plate appearances.

Wilson went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run in a loss to the Mariners on Thursday.

The rookie is maintaining an everyday role now that he's healthy, but Wilson has gone just 4-for-25 since returning from the IL on Aug. 27. However, given his elite body of work in the minors -- Wilson hit .433 (90-for-208) this year over three minor-league levels -- it figures to be just a matter of time before he figures out big-league arms.

Perdomo batted leadoff and went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Thursday's 3-2 loss to San Francisco.

Perdomo led off the game with a single and eventually scored. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo has moved Perdomo to the leadoff spot against lefties -- he batted second against a right-hander Wednesday -- but he'll likely slide back down the order when Ketel Marte (ankle) returns, which could come as soon as this weekend. Perdomo is 7-for-18 with four RBI and five runs scored over the last five games.
