  • Angels' Christian Moore: Goes deep Friday

    Moore went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to Colorado.

    Moore put the Angels on the board with a two-run homer that tied the score 2-2 in the second inning. The rookie second baseman has been flashing his power of late, belting three homers in six games since being called back up to the big leagues Sept. 13. His other two hits during that span have been doubles, though he's also struck out nine times in 20 plate appearances.

  • Luis Garcia 1B | NYY

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Absent from lineup

    Garcia isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

    After going 0-for-4 in Friday's series opener, Garcia will step out of the starting nine Saturday while Nasim Nunez starts at second base and bats ninth.

  • Brooks Lee 3B | MIN

    Twins' Brooks Lee: Not starting Game 1

    Lee isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

    Lee will grab a seat on the bench to begin Saturday's twin bill after going 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts Friday. Ryan Fitzgerald will start at shortstop and bat seventh for the Twins.

  • Denzer Guzman 3B | LAA

    Angels' Denzer Guzman: Swats second long ball

    Guzman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run and a walk in a loss to the Rockies on Friday.

    Guzman hit the second of two Angels homers in the second inning, going 415 feet deep to left field. It was his second home run (and fourth overall hit) through six games as a pro. Though he's shown good pop during his short time in the majors, Guzman has also struck out in a whopping 12 of his 20 plate appearances.

  • Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Reaches 30-30 mark

    Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to Baltimore.

    Chisholm accounted for the Yankees' only runs in the game with his homer to right-center field in the seventh inning. The long ball was his 30th of the campaign (a career high) and, paired with his 30 thefts, put him in rarified air as just the third Yankees player with a 30-30 season (Bobby Bonds and Alfonso Soriano are the others). Juan Soto of the Mets is the only other MLB player to reach the 30-30 mark so far this season.

  • C.J. Kayfus LF | CLE

    Guardians' C.J. Kayfus: Idle for Game 1

    Kayfus isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Minnesota.

    Kayfus snapped his five-game hitting streak with an 0-for-2 performance Friday, and he'll stay put in the dugout to begin Saturday's festivities. Kyle Manzardo will get the nod at first base, and George Valera will cover right field with Kayfus out.

  • Chad Patrick RP | MIL

    Brewers' Chad Patrick: Filling Quintana's rotation spot

    Patrick is slated to start Saturday's game in St. Louis, Sophia Minnaert of FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin reports.

    Since making a 4.1-inning spot start versus the Rangers back on Sept. 10, Patrick has shifted back to the bullpen. After striking out four batters across a pair of scoreless innings Sunday versus the Cardinals and Tuesday versus the Angels, Patrick will step back into the rotation this weekend as a replacement to Jose Quintana (calf), who was placed on the injured list. Though Patrick has mostly been outside of the big-league rotation since the All-Star break, he's been effective over his 24 outings (21 starts) for Milwaukee in 2025, logging a 3.64 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 116:37 K:BB across 111.1 innings.

  • Javier Assad RP | CHC

    Cubs' Javier Assad: Drawing start Saturday

    Assad is slated to start Saturday's game in Cincinnati, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    The Cubs have already clinched a playoff berth but are six games behind the Brewers in the NL Central standings heading into play Saturday, so the team is essentially locked into a best-of-three wild-card series in the postseason. As a result, the Cubs appear content to build in an extra day of rest for their rotation members heading into the playoffs and will do so by having Assad make a spot start Saturday. Since moving to the bullpen earlier this month, Assad's lone relief appearance was a 2.1-inning outing back on Sept. 14, so he should be well rested and capable of providing plenty of length Saturday. Over six appearances (five starts) for the big club this season, Assad has gone 3-1 with a 4.23 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 15:9 K:BB across 27.2 innings.

  • Wander Suero RP | ATH

    Mets' Wander Suero: DFA'd by Mets

    The Mets designated Suero for assignment Saturday.

    Suero joined the active roster Thursday, but he'll now be pushed off the 40-man without making an appearance for the Mets. Richard Lovelady was promoted from Syracuse to fill the open spot in New York's bullpen.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Ends hitless streak in loss

    Adames went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk and a run scored in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Dodgers.

    After going 0-for-13 across 17 plate appearances in his previous four games, Adames lined a double to right field in the seventh inning before coming around to score the Giants' final run. The shortstop is batting .211 with 10 RBI, five runs scored, three homers, three stolen bases and a 28.6 percent strikeout rate across 70 plate appearances in September. Overall, he's slashing .226/.318/.421 with 89 runs scored, 82 RBI, 28 long balls and 11 stolen bases in 650 plate appearances over 152 games.
