De La Cruz went 1-for-4 with a double in Friday's 1-0 loss to the Cubs.

De La Cruz lofted a flyball to left center that fell in between two Chicago outfielders that he tried to stretch it to a triple, but he was thrown out by Pete Crow-Armstrong. Reds interim manager Freddie Benavides told Mark Sheldon of MLB.com that it was mistake for De La Cruz to not stop at second base. "The ball was in front of him," Benavides said. "He's got to realize that [Crow-Armstrong] has got a great arm. It's something me and him talked about, we addressed. It's a mistake and he's going to learn from it." While it may have been a tactical error on the part of De La Cruz, it does not take away from his fantasy value. The 22-year-old infielder has an .815 OPS with 25 home runs, 74 RBI, a league-leading 65 steals and 104 runs scored over 158 games.

Edwards went 4-for-6 with three triples, four RBI and two runs scored in Friday's win over Toronto.

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.

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

Schuemann has slashed .141/.191/.188 with three runs scored and three RBI over 68 plate appearances since Sept. 1. Darell Hernaiz will start at third base Friday and bat ninth.

Walls is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox.

Walls will yield to Jose Caballero at shortstop for the second time in three games. In September, Walls is 12-for-50 (.240) with five stolen bases, eight runs and seven RBI.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
