    Marlins' Otto Lopez: Not starting Saturday

    Lopez isn't in the Marlins' lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

  • Vaughn Grissom SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Vaughn Grissom: Three-hit night in loss

    Grissom went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's 2-1 loss to Tampa Bay.

    Grissom, who started for the fourth time in the last five games, is 7-for-18 (.389) with a double, two RBI and two steals since being called up last week. It was a rough year for the 23-year-old, whose spring training groin/hamstring injury lingered for months. A positive finish to the season, including a productive stint at Triple-A Worcester, should put him in line to be Boston's starter at second base in 2025.

  • Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Collects two hits, scores Friday

    Hoerner went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 1-0 win over the Reds.

    Hoerner helped manufacture the only run of the contest when he doubled to lead off the bottom of the fifth, then got bunted over to third before coming home on a sacrifice fly. The speedy infielder has three straight multi-hit performances, and over his last 10 games, he's slashing a sizzling .486/.526/.743 with two home runs, five RBI and nine runs scored.

  • Reds' Jonathan India: Logs two hits in return

    India started at second base and went 2-for-3 in Friday's 1-0 loss to the Cubs.

    India returned to the lineup after missing one game due to a head injury. He was back in his normal roles as Cincinnati's second baseman and leadoff batter.

  • Zack Gelof 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Zack Gelof: Reaches 25-steal mark

    Gelof went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 2-0 loss to the Mariners.

    Gelof's bat has faded late in the season -- he's 6-for-40 (.150) over his last 11 games with two steals in that span. The second baseman is up to 25 steals on 28 attempts this year, offering some positives with his speed despite a difficult campaign at the plate. He's added a .211/.271/.364 slash line with 17 home runs, 49 RBI, 59 runs scored, 20 doubles and two triples over 136 contests.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Steals three bags to reach 50

    Turang went 3-for-4 with three steals, a double and three runs scored in Friday's 8-4 victory over the Mets.

    The Milwaukee second baseman notched his second three-steal game of the season, with the other also coming against the Mets back on March 30. Turang becomes the fifth Brewer all-time to reach the 50-steal mark and first since Jonathan Villar in 2016. After hitting .277 across 92 games in the first half, Turang has struggled since the All-Star break, batting just .219 (48-for-219) over 61 games. This performance also marked his first multi-hit showing in his last 10 games. Overall, Turang is batting .254 with 24 doubles, seven homers, 72 runs scored and 57 RBI while going 50-for-56 in steals.

  • Jose Altuve 2B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Altuve: Cracks pair of doubles in win

    Altuve went 2-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored in Friday's 5-2 victory over the Guardians.

    The Houston second baseman knocked two doubles off Joey Cantillo for his 30th and 31st two-baggers of the season. This performance might signal that Altuve is coming out of his cold spell, as he entered the contest hitting just .154 (6-for-39) over his last nine games. Overall, the nine-time All-Star is slashing .295/.350/.439 with 20 homers, 94 runs scored, 65 runs scored and 22 steals in 682 plate appearances across 153 games this season.
