Edman went 3-for-4 in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Reds.

Edman has hit safely in 12 of his last 14 games, going 16-for-49 (.327) in that span. The utility man has also shown little hesitation on the bases with seven steals over that span. Edman is seeing regular playing time between second base, shortstop and center field. He's at a .251/.314/.416 slash line with 12 home runs, 24 steals, 45 RBI and 62 runs scored across 119 contests.

Story went 3-for-6 with a double, two RBI, one run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's loss against the Orioles.

Story's three hits Saturday matched his total from the previous 38 at-bats (11 contests) while the stolen base was his second in three games. Since returning from the injured list Aug. 8, the 30-year-old shortstop is batting .190 with one home run, seven RBI, seven runs and seven steals across 105 plate appearances.

Ornelas was recalled by the Rangers on Saturday.

Ornelas got into two games off the bench for the Rangers in August but did not receive a plate appearance. Given that he owns a modest 83 wRC+ in 108 Triple-A games this season, it's unlikely he's been called up for his bat. J.P. Martinez was optioned in a corresponding move.

Williams isn't in the Pirates' lineup Saturday against Atlanta, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Williams will get a breather Saturday after going 2-for-5 with three strikeouts across his last two games. Liover Peguero will slide to shortstop while Williams is out, allowing Jared Triolo to start at second base and bat eighth.

Baez will sit Saturday against the White Sox.

Baez has seemingly played himself out of an everyday role down the stretch, as he finds himself on the bench for the third time in the last six games. He hasn't hit like anything close to an everyday player this season, slashing .221/.267/.319. Zack Short will serve as the shortstop Saturday.

Wendle isn't in the Marlins' lineup Saturday against Philadelphia, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Wendle will get a day off after going 3-for-16 with a homer, four RBI and three runs scored across seven games to begin September. Garrett Hampson will instead start at shortstop and bat seventh.

Bichette won't start Saturday's game against the Royals.

Bichette returned Friday from a minimum-length stay on the injured list due to a strained quadriceps, and the Blue Jays won't ask him to start on back-to-back days just yet. Ernie Clement starts at shortstop Saturday, but Bichette should resume his everyday role once he puts the injury further behind him.

Rojas isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Saturday against the Nationals, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Rojas will take a seat Saturday after beginning September 7-for-25 with an RBI and four runs scored across seven games. Enrique Hernandez will fill in at shortstop and bat seventh while Rojas rests.

Perdomo isn't in Arizona's lineup Saturday against the Cubs.

Perdomo will take a seat Saturday with southpaw Justin Steele on the mound for Chicago. Emmanuel Rivera will fill in at the hot corner and bat eighth while Perdomo rests.

Bichette went 2-for-5 with a double, a run scored and two RBI in Friday's 5-4 win over the Royals.

In his first game action since Aug. 27, Bichette drove in the Jays' first run of the night in the sixth inning before smacking a single in the seventh as part of a four-run rally that put his team in the lead for good. The shortstop had been sidelined with a strained quadriceps, but he looked 100 percent Friday and ready to help Toronto try to lock up a playoff spot. On the season, Bichette is slashing .315/.344/.489 with 18 homers, 55 runs and 64 RBI in 115 games, but his three steals in six attempts are a disappointment for those with fantasy shares in the 25-year-old.
