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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lindor (back) isn't in the Mets' lineup for Saturday's game versus the Phillies, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Back soreness forced Lindor to make an early exit from Friday's game in the seventh inning, and he'll need at least one more day to recover before returning to the Mets' starting nine. While Lindor rests, Luisangel Acuna will make his MLB debut, starting at shortstop and batting ninth.

Jimenez (foot) will start at shortstop and bat eighth Saturday versus the Cardinals.

Foot soreness prevented Jimenez from starting the Jays' last two contests, though he was able to appear as a pinch hitter Friday. Now back in the starting nine, he'll look to turn things around at the plate after starting the month 3-for-16 across eight games.
