    Edwards knocked a pair of two-run triples in the second and seventh innings, sandwiched around another triple in the fourth. He became the first Marlin to ever rack up three triples in a game. It was Edwards' fourth consecutive multi-hit contest, during which he had five extra-base hits and seven RBI. For the year, he owns an impressive .327/.396/.420 slash line with 17 extra-base hits and 37 runs scored through 68 games.

  • Max Schuemann SS | OAK

    Athletics' Max Schuemann: Not starting Friday

    Schuemann is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.

  • Taylor Walls SS | TB

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Getting breather

    Pena is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Guardians.

    Pena is out of the lineup for the first time since Aug. 22 for what appears to be a traditional rest day. In his place, Grae Kessinger will play shortstop and bat ninth.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: In Friday's lineup

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

    Lindor had been slated to return to action Wednesday in Atlanta before that game got rained out. Instead, his eight-game absence will end Friday as the Mets open a series against the Brewers.

  • Oneil Cruz SS | PIT

    Pirates' Oneil Cruz: Sitting versus southpaw

    Cruz is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.

    The left-handed-hitting Cruz will be given a day off as the Yankees send southpaw Carlos Rodon to the bump. Billy Cook is in center field and batting ninth for the Pirates in the series opener.

  • Brayan Rocchio SS | CLE

    Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Out of Cleveland lineup

    Rocchio is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Astros.

    It's a day off for Rocchio, who had started each of the last four games and 12 of the past 13 contests. Daniel Schneemann will play shortstop and bat ninth for the Guardians.

  • Ezequiel Tovar SS | COL

    Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Tallies two RBI

    Tovar went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Thursday against the Cardinals.

    Tovar has put together a productive close to the season, with Thursday's performance marking his fifth multi-RBI performance in his last 14 games. He's also struck out multiple times in seven of those contests, inflating his strikeout rate to 29.2 percent on the season. That swing and miss has been covered up by a .344 BABIP, something that may not continue into 2025 even with the benefit of Coors Field as his home park.

  • Xavier Edwards SS | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Reaches five times in win

    Edwards went 2-for-4 with an RBI, three runs, three walks and a stolen base in Thursday's extra-innings win over the Twins.

    The infielder walked to lead off the contest before coming around to score Miami's first run on a Jake Burger double. Edwards later added an RBI single in the fifth, a double in the ninth and a stolen base in the 13th after drawing his third walk of the contest. He scored three times on the night, which marked a season high, as did his three free passes. He's tallied multiple hits in three straight games and is up to 31 stolen bases on the campaign, with nine of those thefts coming in September.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Could be back by Saturday

    Angels manager Ron Washington said Thursday that Neto (shoulder) will not play Friday versus the Rangers but could be back in action Saturday and Sunday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Neto had to exit Thursday's game against the White Sox with right shoulder irritation after landing hard on a stolen-base attempt. However, while he will miss one start, it sounds like the injury will not be a season-ender.
