Holliday (knee) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays.

Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN
Twins' Luke Keaschall: Lands on IL with sprained thumb
The Twins placed Keaschall on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left thumb sprain.
Keaschall suffered the season-ending injury during Tuesday's game against the Rangers while stealing second base. He'll visit with a specialist next week to determine whether surgery is necessary. Even if a procedure is required, Keaschall should be fine by the time spring training rolls around. The rookie finishes his promising first season with a .302/.382/.445 batting line, four home runs and 14 steals over 207 plate appearances.

Edmundo Sosa 2B | PHI
Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Belts three homers Wednesday
Sosa went 3-for-4 with three home runs and five RBI in Wednesday's 11-1 rout of the Marlins.
Making his return from a groin injury that had sidelined him since Sept. 12, the 29-year-old utility player came into the game with seven homers in 85 games on the season, but Sosa padded that total significantly with solo blasts in the fourth and seventh innings sandwiched around a three-run shot in the fifth. It's his first career multi-homer performance, and with Sosa getting the start at short in place of Trea Turner (hamstring), he remarkably became the first shortstop in Phillies history with a three-homer game. Turner could be activated from the IL on Friday, but Sosa figured to be busy over the final four games of the regular season as the team rests starters around the diamond ahead of the playoffs -- Sosa has seen action at every position except catcher, first base and right field in 2025.

Ketel Marte 2B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Scores twice in loss
Marte batted leadoff and went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to the Dodgers.
Marte scored after leading of the first inning with a double and then again as part of a three-run rally that he ignited with a single in the eighth to set up extra innings. He was in position to score a third run as the designated runner in the 10th with the team's best hitters due up. However, manager Torey Lovullo opted to have Geraldo Perdomo sacrifice bunt Marte to third, which prompted two intentional walks before the Dodgers got out unscathed. The Diamondbacks still remain one game out of the wild-card spot, and Marte has been instrumental in the club's drive. He's gone 12-for-32 (.375) with four doubles, one home run, five RBI and five runs scored over the last seven contests.
