Hoerner went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Marlins.

The infielder produced his second straight three-hit effort and his third in the last nine games. Hoerner has shifted over to shortstop while Dansby Swanson (oblique) is on the shelf, but the change in defensive responsibilities hasn't caused him to lose focus at the plate. Over 18 games since Swanson landed on the IL, Hoerner boasts a .310/.320/.366 slash line with one homer, two steals, four runs and eight RBI.

Torres went 2-for-5 with two runs scored in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Guardians.

That's now three straight two-hit games for Torres, who accomplished the feat twice during Friday's doubleheader against Cleveland. Hao-Yu Lee (lower leg) started Saturday after leaving the second game early Friday, and his presence figures to cut into Torres' role down the stretch. However, the veteran infielder served as the DH on Saturday, and he could see more time there as a way to keep his bat in the lineup while still getting Lee valuable developmental action in the field.

Edman went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Nationals.

Edman went yard in the seventh inning, turning a 4-2 deficit into a 5-4 lead for the Dodgers. The utility man has hit well to begin September, going 9-for-23 (.391) over five games this month. He's now batting .273 with a .762 OPS, six homers, 32 RBI, 36 runs scored, 10 doubles, two triples and six stolen bases over 65 games. Edman has gotten the call to hit leadoff while Shohei Ohtani (knee/biceps) is out of action.

Marte went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a 4-3 extra-inning win over the Astros on Saturday.

Marte's lone hit was a big one, as his eighth-inning solo homer tied the game 3-3. The long ball was his first since the veteran infielder was activated from the injured list Aug. 31. Marte has notched exactly one hit in each of his four contests since returning, going 4-for-14 with a 2:1 BB:K during that span. He's at a .251/.317/.449 slash line with 22 homers, 66 runs, 68 RBI and four stolen bases through 122 contests on the campaign.

The Rockies placed Castro on the 10-day injured list Saturday with left heel inflammation, retroactive to Wednesday.

Castro has sat out the Rockies' last three games while managing plantar fasciitis in his left foot, and he'll now officially remain out until at least next Saturday as he recovers. Vimael Machin will come up from Triple-A to replenish Colorado's infield depth, though Connor Norby and Ryan Ritter are more likely to benefit from additional playing time.

Nunez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

Nunez will get a chance to regroup Saturday after going just 3-for-35 (.086) with three steals and eight strikeouts across his last dozen games. CJ Abrams will slide over to shortstop as a result, allowing Jorbit Vivas to start at second base.

Chisholm is not in the Yankees' starting lineup against the Padres on Saturday.

Chisholm will get a breather after going 0-for-6 with two walks, two strikeouts and a run scored over his last two outings. Amed Rosario will draw the start at second base while Jose Caballero mans the hot corner.

Turang isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Cincinnati.

Turang doesn't typically move to the bench whenever the Brewers encounter a left-handed starter, but Milwaukee will keep him and his .536 OPS against southpaws in the dugout to begin Saturday's matchup against Andrew Abbott. David Hamilton will man the keystone in Turang's absence while Joey Ortiz covers third.

Lowe isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.

The Pirates will get Lowe a breather Saturday while they face left-handed starter Yusei Kikuchi. Nick Gonzales will slide over to second base as a result, giving Jared Triolo a start at third.

Lee (lower leg) is starting at third base and batting second against the Guardians on Saturday.

Lee left the second game of Friday's doubleheader against Cleveland due to a left shin contusion, but he's been cleared to play in Saturday's AL Central clash. Lee has gone 5-for-18 (.278) with one home run, four RBI, three runs scored and six strikeouts over his last five outings.
