Dodgers' Tommy Edman: On bench Sunday
Edman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Seattle.
Edman missed back-to-back games with an ankle injury before going 0-for-5 on Saturday. The 30-year-old will get a day off Sunday for Game 162, leaving second base duties to Hyeseong Kim.

Casey Schmitt 2B | SF
Giants' Casey Schmitt: Cracks three-run homer in win
Schmitt went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rockies.
Schmitt put the Giants on the board and gave them a 3-2 lead with his long shot off Kyle Freeland in the third inning. It was Schmitt's 12th home run on the season, which is more than he tallied in the two years prior combined (11). He has a .707 OPS with nine runs, three homers and nine RBI in 78 plate appearances since Sept. 1.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Back in action Saturday
Edman (ankle) will serve as the Dodgers' designated hitter and bat leadoff against the Mariners on Saturday.
Ankle soreness has kept Edman from playing in the Dodgers' last two games, but a few days of rest now have the 30-year-old ready to return to the starting nine. In 10 games since returning from the injured list, he's gone 9-for-38 (.237) with a homer, five RBI and six runs scored.

Will Wagner 2B | SD
Padres' Will Wagner: Rejoins Padres
The Padres recalled Wagner from the Arizona Complex League on Saturday.
Wagner was sent to the Padres' facility in Arizona following Xander Bogaerts' return from the injured list Tuesday, but the former will now be brought back onto the big-league roster to replace Ramon Laureano (finger). Wagner has slashed .222/.319/.278 across 145 plate appearances between the Blue Jays and Padres this season and will likely come off the bench most days while in San Diego.

Nick Yorke 2B | PIT
Pirates' Nick Yorke: Idle Saturday
Yorke isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus Atlanta.
Yorke will catch a breather Saturday after going 2-for-4 and scoring a run during Friday's victory. Spencer Horwitz will shift to second base while Yorke is on the bench, opening up first base for Rafael Flores.

Ketel Marte 2B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: On bench Saturday
Marte is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres.
Marte will get a breather for the Diamondbacks' penultimate game of the season. The star second baseman has a hit in seven straight games, going 12-for-30 (.400) with a pair of homers during that stretch. Connor Kaiser will fill in at second base.

Ketel Marte 2B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Homers early in loss
Marte went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and a second run scored in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Padres.
Marte extended his hitting streak to seven games, a span in which he has gone 12-for-30 (.400) with two homers and five RBI. The second baseman has 27 long balls this season, including four across 22 games in September. Overall, he's added a .283/.376/.512 slash line with 71 RBI, 86 runs scored, four stolen bases and 28 doubles through 125 contests.

Nick Gonzales 2B | PIT
Pirates' Nick Gonzales: Two hits in win
Gonzales went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored Friday against Atlanta.
Gonzales delivered an RBI single in the second inning as part of a three-run rally for Pittsburgh. He's had a quiet September, managing only 17 hits across 83 at-bats (.205) with seven RBI and seven runs scored in 21 games. Gonzales has just an 83 wRC+ across 400 plate appearances for the season, but he should be in the mix for regular playing time in Pittsburgh to begin 2026.

Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC
Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Goes deep in rout
Hoerner went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 12-1 win over the Cardinals.
Hoerner popped his seventh home run of the season in the first inning, as he was one of four Chicago players to go deep. The speedy infielder isn't known for his power -- his career high in homers is only 10 -- and he appears likely to finish with a single-digit total for the third straight year. Hoerner is a great source of steals, however, as he has 29 of them this season in 35 attempts, and he's swiped 103 bags since the start of 2023.

Luis Garcia 2B | WAS
Nationals' Luis Garcia: Goes deep three times in loss
Garcia went 3-for-4 with three home runs and four RBI in Friday's 10-9 loss to the White Sox.
Garcia did his best to spark a comeback from an early seven-run deficit, slugging three home runs for the first time in his career. The effort was especially encouraging after the 25-year-old had gone just 3-for-32 since his last multi-hit game Sept. 10. On the season, he's slashing .255/.291/.417 with 16 homers, 66 RBI, 66 runs scored and 13 steals across 519 plate appearances.
