  • Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Hits first career homer in loss

    Jackson went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-8 loss to the Astros.

    Jackson launched a 439-foot blast in the fourth inning before adding an RBI single in the eighth. The 25-year-old has made an immediate impact with the Orioles, slashing .339/.361/.492 with five extra-base hits, nine RBI and eight runs across 61 plate appearances while starting 15 of 20 games since his debut Aug. 1.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | TEX

    Rangers' Marcus Semien: Shelved with bruised foot

    Texas placed Semien on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a left foot contusion.

    Semien has been out of the lineup since Thursday, when he fouled a ball off his left foot during a game against the Royals. Though the veteran infielder is slated to meet with a foot doctor Sunday, the Rangers decided not to wait until the results of that meeting to place him on the IL. The transaction made room on the 26-man active roster for outfielder Adolis Garcia (ankle), who was reinstated from the IL. Semien's everyday role at second base could be assumed by a combination of Ezequiel Duran, Josh Smith and/or Cody Freeman, the latter of whom will start at the position Saturday versus Cleveland.

    Rangers' Marcus Semien: Meeting with specialist Sunday

    Semien (foot) is slated to meet with a foot doctor Sunday and will not play Saturday, Matthew Postins of SI.com reports.

    Semien hasn't played since being removed from Thursday's contest against Kansas City a few innings after fouling a ball off his foot. The veteran infielder has so far had an X-Ray, CAT scan and MRI, with results of the latter coming back inconclusive. Semien's medical evaluation should provide more clarity about the specifics of his injury and a return timeline. It's unlikely that he'll play in any capacity this weekend.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Scores twice in win

    Torres went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 7-5 win over the Royals.

    Occupying his familiar No. 2 spot in the lineup, Torres continued to provide a spark for the Tigers. The veteran infielder has three multi-hit performances across his last six games, and he's slashing .261/.360/.399 overall in 115 contests. The .360 on-base percentage would be a new career best for Torres, driven in part by a 13.2 percent walk rate, which is up from 10 percent in 2024 with the Yankees.

  • Jazz Chisholm 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Getting rest vs. lefty

    Chisholm isn't in the starting lineup Saturday against the Red Sox.

    Chisholm has posted a poor .637 OPS against left-handed pitchers this season, and he's beginning on the bench against southpaw Garrett Crochet on Saturday. With Chisholm out of the lineup, Jose Caballero is getting a start at second base for the Yankees.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | TB

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Pops 25th homer

    Lowe went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored Friday against the Cardinals.

    Lowe led off the scoring for the Rays in the first inning with his 25th homer of the campaign. Six of those home runs have come in his last 15 starts, raising his slugging percentage to .489 for the season -- his highest mark since the 2021 campaign.

  • Tristan Gray 2B | TB

    Rays' Tristan Gray: Pops first homer

    Gray went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Friday against the Cardinals.

    Gray has spent the majority of the past month in the majors but has primarily been a bench bat. However, with a significant number of injuries across the Rays' depth chart, he's been called upon to start three consecutive games between shortstop and second base. Gray popped his first home run of the season and second of his career in the second inning.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | TEX

    Rangers' Marcus Semien: Imaging inconclusive

    Semien (foot) underwent an MRI on Friday that came back inconclusive, MLB.com reports.

    Semien fouled a ball off his foot during the series finale against the Royals on Thursday and was held out of Friday's lineup. He remained in a walking boot and could miss the entire weekend set against the Guardians. Ezequiel Duran started at second base in Semien's place.

  • Ryan Bliss 2B | SEA

    Mariners' Ryan Bliss: Nearing rehab assignment

    Bliss (biceps) could begin a rehab assignment as early as next week, Zac Hereth of SeattleSports.com reports.

    The Mariners plan for Bliss to get 40-to-50 at-bats in the minors before activating him from the 60-day injured list. The 25-year-old second baseman appears to be ahead of schedule in his recovery from a left biceps tear that's kept him on the shelf since early April, and a return at some point in mid-September isn't out of the question. Once he's cleared to rejoin Seattle, the righty-hitting Bliss figures to work on the short side of a platoon with the lefty-hitting Cole Young at the keystone.

  • Luis Urias 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Luis Urias: Sitting Friday

    Urias is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Mariners on Friday.

    Urias will be on the bench for a second straight game while Darell Hernaiz starts at second base and bats seventh. Urias hasn't been that productive at the plate since the All-Star break, posting a .546 OPS with five runs, one homer and six RBI across 66 plate appearances.
