  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Remains out of lineup

    Edwards (wrist) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies.

    Edwards is set to miss his fifth straight game due to right wrist soreness. Javier Sanoja is starting at second base and batting ninth against Colorado right-hander Tanner Gordon. Miami begins a three-game series with the Rangers on Friday.

  • Royals' Jonathan India: Out of lineup again Thursday

    India is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Mariners.

    It's the second straight day India has been out of the lineup. On Thursday it will be Michael Massey at second base and batting ninth for the Royals.

  • Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Scores three times, swipes base

    Hoerner went 2-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and three runs scored in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Pirates.

    Hoerner made his three times on base count, as he scored three runs and also swiped his 28th base of the season in 34 attempts. The speedy infielder is locked in at the plate, as he's now batting a sizzling .410 across 15 games this month. That has pushed Hoerner's season-long batting average up to .303, which would be a new career best and is currently good for seventh in the majors.

  • Jose Altuve 2B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Altuve: Tags deGrom for two-run HR

    Altuve went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday in a 5-2 victory against the Rangers.

    Altuve's lone hit was a two-run homer off Jacob deGrom in the third inning that snapped a 2-2 tie. The veteran second baseman hasn't hit well in September -- he's at a .170 batting average through 15 games -- but he has gone deep three times and racked up nine RBI. With 26 homers on the campaign, Altuve has long surpassed the 20 home runs he swatted across 153 regular-season contests last year.

  • Angels' Christian Moore: Reclaims everyday role

    Moore will start at second base and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

    Since being recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday, Moore has settled back into an everyday role at the keystone for the Angels. He'll draw a fourth consecutive start Wednesday after going 2-for-9 with a pair of solo home runs, two walks and an additional run in the previous three contests.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Sitting fourth straight

    Edwards (wrist) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus Colorado.

    Edwards is now set to miss his fourth straight game due to right wrist soreness, and the Marlins may begin to consider placing him on the injured list if he isn't able to return soon. Javier Sanoja will make another start at second base and bat ninth.

  • Leonardo Rivas 2B | SEA

    Mariners' Leo Rivas: Taking seat Wednesday

    Rivas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

    The switch-hitting Rivas will take a seat for the fourth time in five games, with three of those absences coming against left-handed pitchers. The Mariners seem to be prioritizing Rivas ahead of Cole Young at second base of late, but Jorge Polanco will remain a factor at the position on days in which he's not serving as the designated hitter.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | TB

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Idle Wednesday

    Lowe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Right-hander Kevin Gausman has been more effective against lefties than righties both this season and for his career, so the Rays will hold out Lowe and fellow left-handed hitter Josh Lowe for Wednesday's contest. Tristan Gray will step in for Brandon Lowe at the keystone.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Resting against southpaw

    Gimenez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

    After making starts out of the middle infield in each of the Blue Jays' last eight games, the left-handed-hitting Gimenez will retreat to the bench while the Rays send southpaw Ian Seymour to the bump. Toronto will go with Davis Schneider at second base and Ernie Clement at shortstop Wednesday.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Exiting starting nine

    Schneemann is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Detroit.

    Schneemann had started the last three games and nine of the last 10 tilts, but he'll begin Wednesday's contest on the bench. Nolan Jones will patrol center field and bat seventh for the Guardians.
