  • 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.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Injures shoulder Thursday

    Neto was removed from Thursday's game against the White Sox due to a right shoulder injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Neto suffered the injury sliding into second base while attempting to steal the bag in the fourth. After he was removed, Jack Lopez moved to shortstop while Michael Stefanic entered to play second base, and the two would likely continue to form Los Angeles' middle-infield duo if Neto is forced to miss additional games.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Productive in Wednesday's win

    Henderson went 3-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 9-7 win over the Yankees.

    Henderson was one of six Orioles to log multiple hits in a 17-hit barrage. This was his fourth multi-hit effort during his seven-game streak, during which he's batting .387 (12-for-31). The shortstop's late surge has lifted his season numbers to a .285/.369/.536 slash line, 37 home runs, 91 RBI, 118 runs scored and 21 stolen bases on 25 attempts.

  • 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.

  • Miguel Rojas SS | LAD

    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.

  • Miguel Rojas SS | LAD

    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 | TOR

    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 SS | 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.
