  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Back from injured list Sunday

    The Marlins reinstated Edwards (thumb) from the 10-day injured list, and he will start at second base and bat fifth against the Dodgers on Sunday.

    Edwards has been cleared to return from a two-week absence due to a left thumb sprain, and his reinstatement from the 10-day injured list corresponds with the Marlins placing Owen Caissie (back) on the 10-day IL. Edwards is slashing .282/.361/.376 with 20 steals, six home runs and 51 RBI across 574 plate appearanes this season.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Taking seat Sunday

    Edman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

    Edman started the previous 20 games, but manager Dave Roberts will sit him down Sunday to avoid having him start three straight games on Miami's turf field. The veteran utility man is hitless in his past five contests, going 0-for-17 with three walks, one RBI and two runs.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | NYM

    Mets' Marcus Semien: On bench Sunday

    Semien is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    The veteran second baseman started the previous nine games and will take a seat Sunday after posting a .242/.333/.333 slash line during that stretch. Brett Baty (knee) is returning from a two-game absence to man the keystone while Nick Morabito picks up a start in left field.

  • Connor Norby 2B | COL

    Rockies' Connor Norby: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Norby is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Detroit, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    Norby started the previous four games and will receive a day off after going 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's contest, boosting his OPS in September to .793 through 10 contests. Adael Amador will shift to the keystone Sunday while Mickey Moniak serves as the DH, opening up right field for Troy Johnston.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Sitting again Sunday

    Torres is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    It's the second straight game on the bench for Torres, who is batting .333 (9-for-27) with three walks, a double, one RBI and nine runs in his past seven contests. Hao-Yu Lee will man the keystone while Colt Keith handles third base, freeing up first base for Spencer Torkelson.

  • Nick Sogard 2B | BOS

    Red Sox's Nick Sogard: Knocks two doubles in win

    Sogard started at first base and went 2-for-3 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 5-1 win over Kansas City. He was also hit by a pitch and caught stealing.

    Sogard, who made a fourth consecutive start at first base, got involved offensively late in the game. He doubled and scored in the seventh inning and then knocked in Boston's final run with an eighth-inning double. Sogard and Mickey Gasper have been filling in for the injured Willson Contreras (hamstring) at first base.

  • Connor Norby 2B | COL

    Rockies' Connor Norby: Continues to hit well

    Norby went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored Saturday against the Tigers.

    Norby continues to play a prominent role in the Rockies' lineup, particularly against lefties. He's hit second in the order in six consecutive games against southpaws, and he's hit well overall since the start of September. Across 10 games, he's maintained a .273 average with a 10.5 percent walk rate, one home run, two RBI and six runs scored.

  • Red Sox's Anthony Seigler: Suffers wrist injury Saturday

    Seigler was removed from Saturday's game after experiencing pain in his right wrist following a swing, MLB.com reports. He hurt the wrist in the fourth inning and was eventually removed in the seventh.

    Seigler, who was called up to Boston on Friday as a replacement for Eli White (foot), started at second base before departing. He was replaced by Isiah Kiner-Falefa. Seigler underwent further testing and evaluation following the game.

  • Pedro Ramirez 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Pedro Ramirez: Doubles, homers in win

    Ramirez went 2-for-3 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.

    Ramirez scored two runs for the second straight game and also tallied his first multi-hit performance of the month. The rookie infielder is batting just .161 through 31 September at-bats, and it seems like he could be starting to hit a wall in what's been a strong debut overall. Ramirez should continue to see regular time at second base in the short term, but the return of shortstop Dansby Swanson (oblique) from the injured list next week will shift Nico Hoerner back to the keystone, which figures to send Ramirez to the bench most days.

  • Juan Brito 2B | CIN

    Reds' Juan Brito: Socks second homer as Red

    Brito went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 13-9 loss to Milwaukee.

    Brito recorded his second three-hit effort and launched his second home run in a Cincinnati uniform. In the seven games since being added to the roster, he's gone 7-for-19 with a double, two homers and eight RBI. With news of Matt McLain experiencing soreness in his left shoulder and needing a few days off, Brito is a natural fill-in at second base.
