    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Surging toward playoffs

    Chisholm went 3-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the White Sox.

    The 27-year-old helped the Yankees clinch a postseason berth with another strong performance. Over his last 12 games, Chisholm is slashing .333/.373/.542 with three of his 31 homers on the season and four of his 31 steals, along with six runs and nine RBI.

  • Cody Freeman 2B | TEX

    Rangers' Cody Freeman: Could finish season at 2B

    Freeman started at second base and went 0-for-3 in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Minnesota.

    Freeman made a sixth consecutive start at second base and could finish out the regular season there as the primary starter, after the Rangers announced Marcus Semien (foot) was being shut down. Freeman has gone 4-for-19 with a home run, three RBI and a stolen base during his six-start run.

  • Nick Yorke 2B | PIT

    Pirates' Nick Yorke: Five-game hitting streak

    Yorke went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Reds.

    Yorke has started eight of Pittsburgh's last nine games, taking over as the team's primary second baseman. He's made good use of that opportunity, hitting .250 with four RBI and four runs scored. He's also currently riding a five-game hitting streak. Yorke is likely auditioning for a roster spot to begin the 2026 campaign.

  • Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Four doubles in win

    Donovan went 4-for-5 with four doubles, one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 9-8 win over the Giants.

    Donovan missed Monday's game due to groin tightness, but he was able to get cleared in time to play Tuesday. He played a vital role in the Cardinals' offense in this game with the quartet of two-baggers. He's up to 31 doubles on the year, which is three shy of his career-high total from 153 games last season. Donovan has added a .287/.354/.421 slash line with 10 home runs, 49 RBI, 63 runs scored and three stolen bases over 117 contests in 2025.

  • Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Big game in loss

    Hoerner went 3-for-5 with an RBI and four runs scored in Tuesday's 9-7 loss to the Mets. He also stole a base.

    With New York starting lefty David Peterson, Hoerner batted leadoff instead of Michael Busch, and the former responded with a standout performance. The speedy infielder set a new season high in runs scored, and he's been red hot lately with a .412 batting average over his last 12 games. Hoerner also has 29 stolen bases this season, putting him within striking distance of his third straight 30-steal campaign.

  • Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN

    Twins' Luke Keaschall: Lifted early Tuesday

    Keaschall was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rangers with a left thumb injury, Audra Martin of FanDuel Sports Network North reports.

    Keaschall's hand hit the bag hard during his steal of second base in the second inning, and he was eventually taken out of the game during the fourth frame. The Twins will take a closer look at him and should provide an update on his status in the near future.

  • Jose Fermin 2B | STL

    Cardinals' Jose Fermin: Taken out of lineup

    Fermin was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Giants, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Fermin was initially penciled in to start at second base for the injured Brendan Donovan (groin), but the latter was cleared to play shortly before Tuesday's contest and took Fermin's place in the lineup. The 26-year-old has done well while serving as infield depth this season, slashing .315/.403/.463 with nine RBI, four runs scored and two steals through 63 plate appearances.

  • Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Late addition to lineup

    Donovan (groin) will start at second base and bat leadoff Tuesday against the Giants, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Donovan was left off the first iteration of St. Louis' lineup Tuesday, but he's now been cleared to play after sitting out Monday's game with groin tightness. The 28-year-old has slashed .321/.367/.500 over 30 plate appearances since returning from the injured list Sept. 12.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | TEX

    Rangers' Marcus Semien: Ruled out for 2025

    Manager Bruce Bochy said Tuesday that Semien (foot) will not play again this season, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

    Semien resumed taking live BP and running Friday, but with the Rangers five games out of a wild-card spot with six to play, the team will pull the plug on its efforts to get the veteran infielder back in the lineup this year. He'll close the book on 2025 with a career-low .669 OPS alongside 15 homers, 62 RBI, 62 runs scored and 11 steals through 127 games. Cody Freeman projects to be the Rangers' primary second baseman for the remainder of the regular season.

  • Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Not starting Tuesday

    Cronenworth is not in the starting lineup Tuesday versus Milwaukee.

    Cronenworth will get a breather after going 0-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts in Monday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Brewers. Mason McCoy will take over at second base and bat ninth in his place.
