  • Adael Amador 2B | COL

    Rockies' Adael Amador: On bench Saturday

    Amador isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    After starting both of Colorado's games since being promoted Wednesday and going 0-for-5, Amador will step out of the starting nine Saturday while Kyle Farmer starts at second base and bats ninth.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Remaining out Saturday

    Garcia (back) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants.

    Back tightness prevented Garcia from playing in Friday's series opener, and he'll need at least one more day to recover before rejoining Washington's lineup. Paul DeJong will start at the keystone and bat third against southpaw Carson Whisenhunt.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Swipes bag No. 20

    Edwards went 3-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's win over Atlanta.

    The speedster reeled off his third straight game with multiple hits and a steal, giving him 20 pilfers on the season while pushing his batting average above .300 for the first time since April 19. Edwards has been on a tear since the All-Star break, producing a .361/.411/.470 slash line over his last 20 games with five doubles, two triples, four stolen bases, six RBI and 15 runs.

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Lifts homer in win

    Schmitt went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-0 win over the Nationals.

    Schmitt went deep to pad the Giants' lead in the sixth inning. The infielder continues to hold down a starting role at second base. He's been fairly steady at the plate lately, going 13-for-51 (.255) with three homers and eight RBI over his last 13 games. Overall, he's at a .249/.321/.412 slash line, seven homers, 24 RBI, 19 runs scored, eight doubles and no stolen bases through 56 contests this season.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Likely out until September

    Edman (ankle) will likely remain on the injured list until September, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Edman landed on the injured list Monday with a right ankle sprain, and the Dodgers are going to play it safe by keeping him on the shelf for an extended period of time. The team wants to give him all the time he needs to make a full recovery to ensure he's at 100 percent for the postseason. With Hyeseong Kim (shoulder) also on the IL, Miguel Rojas and Alex Freeland have been seeing time at the keystone for Los Angeles.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Scratched from lineup

    Garcia was scratched from the lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Giants due to back tightness.

    Garcia's back injury will force him to watch Friday's contest from the dugout. Jose Tena will enter the starting nine to fill the void at second base and bat eighth.

  • Thairo Estrada 2B | COL

    Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Done for 2025

    The Rockies transferred Estrada (hamstring) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

    Estrada strained his right hamstring during Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays. He was placed on the 10-day injured list one day later, and his move to the 60-day IL means Estrada will not play for the rest of the season. He will end the year with a .253/.285/.370 slash line with one steal, nine doubles, three home runs and 21 RBI across 165 plate appearances. Adael Amador and Aaron Schunk figure to see more starts at the keystone with Estrada sidelined.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Four hits in Wednesday's win

    Edwards went 4-for-5 with a double, two runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Astros.

    The switch-hitting infielder set the table for the Marlins in a 6-4 victory, delivering his seventh multi-hit performance in 18 games since the All-Star break. Over that stretch, Edwards is slashing .342/.400/.466 with five doubles, two triples, two steals, five RBI and 14 runs, and he's two pilfers away from reaching 20 for the second straight campaign.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Receiving night off

    Garcia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

    The left-handed-hitting Garcia will hit the bench Wednesday while southpaw Jeffrey Springs toes the rubber for the Athletics. Garcia had started each of the last six games, going 8-for-26 with a home run, a walk, five RBI and four runs.

  • Adael Amador 2B | COL

    Rockies' Adael Amador: Recalled, starting Wednesday

    The Rockies recalled Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

    Amador will join the 26-man active roster as a replacement for Thairo Estrada (hamstring), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. The Rockies will throw Amador into the lineup for Wednesday's series finale versus the Blue Jays, as he'll take over Estrada's usual spot at second base, per Thomas Harding of MLB.com. The 22-year-old could see regular reps at the keystone while Estrada is out, but Amador has managed just a .180/.253/.256 batting line over 148 career plate appearances at the major-league level.
