  • 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.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Not starting Thursday

    Mountcastle isn't in Baltimore's lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.

    Mountcastle has recorded a hit in both games he's played in since returning from the injured list Tuesday. He'll get a chance to rest Thursday while Ryan O'Hearn starts at first base and Adley Rutschman serves as the DH, putting James McCann behind the plate.

    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.

  • Jonah Heim C | TEX

    Rangers' Jonah Heim: Out of Texas lineup

    Heim is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest in Oakland.

    Heim reached base three times and homered in the first two games of the series, but he'll get a breather for the finale. Carson Kelly will do the catching and bat eighth for the Rangers.

  • 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.

  • Colton Cowser LF | BAL

    Orioles' Colton Cowser: Notches ninth steal

    Cowser went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, three RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Wednesday's 9-7 win over the Yankees.

    Cowser's steal was his first since Aug. 19 and his ninth of the season. The outfielder has put together a decent September, batting .257 (18-for-70) with seven extra-base hits, eight RBI and 12 runs scored. He's at a .246/.326/.450 slash line with 23 home runs, 68 RBI, 76 runs, 24 doubles and three triples over 150 contests this season as a regular in the lineup between left field and center field.

  • Jacob Webb RP | BAL

    Orioles' Jacob Webb: Picks up win

    Webb (2-5) allowed two hits and struck out one over 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the win over the Yankees on Wednesday.

    A rare inefficient start from Zach Eflin saw Webb take over to get the final out of the fifth inning with the Orioles leading 8-3. They held on the rest of the way, giving Webb his first victory since June 1. He's been a little shaky with two runs allowed over 4.2 innings since he returned from a six-week absence due to an elbow injury. Webb is now at a 3.15 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 55:27 K:BB while adding two saves, 13 holds and a blown save over a career-high 54.1 innings this season.

  • Daniel Lynch RP | KC

    Royals' Daniel Lynch: Earns second win

    Lynch (2-0) allowed two hits and a walk while striking out two over 2.2 scoreless innings to earn the win over the Nationals on Wednesday.

    Michael Lorenzen (lower body) was pulled in the third inning, allowing Lynch to snag a win in a long-relief assignment. After struggling in a starting role in the first half, Lynch has thrived out of the bullpen. He has not allowed a run over 18.2 innings while giving up just seven hits with a 21:4 K:BB since he was recalled to the majors in late August. In that span, he's also earned both of his wins and a save.

  • Hunter Gaddis RP | CLE

    Guardians' Hunter Gaddis: Grabs sixth win

    Gaddis (6-3) allowed a run on three hits over one inning to earn the win over the Reds on Wednesday.

    Gaddis allowed the tying run in the top of the eighth inning, but the Guardians responded with a three-run home run by Jose Ramirez. Gaddis was charged with a blown save, his first since April 30 and his fifth of the year, but he was also able to pick up his second win in a week. The right-hander has been an excellent setup man in his first full major-league campaign, posting a 1.59 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 65:14 K:BB across 73.2 innings while adding 34 holds.

  • Justin Turner 1B | SEA

    Mariners' Justin Turner: Extends impressive on-base streak

    Turner went 1-for-5 with a two-run single in a win over the Astros on Wednesday, extending his on-base streak to 20 games.

    Turner has also reached safely in 24 straight starts, and he owns a .302/.396/.500 slash line with a 14.2 percent walk rate and 17.0 percent strikeout rate over that span. Those numbers are reminiscent of vintage Turner from the pinnacle of his career with the Dodgers, and his contributions have played an integral part in keeping the Mariners in contention for an AL wild-card spot.
