Rodgers was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's game versus the Dodgers due to left hamstring soreness.

Rodgers missed two games earlier in the week due to left hamstring problems before returning to action Friday, and his injury will now cause him to sit down once again. Aaron Schunk will fill in as Colorado's second baseman and may be in line for another start Sunday if Rodgers is unable to play in the season finale.

Massey isn't in the Royals' lineup Saturday versus Atlanta.

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

The Brewers will match up against left-hander Jose Quintana, and the lefty-hitting Turang will take a seat for the team's penultimate regular-season game. Andruw Monasterio will replace him at second base and bat ninth.

Altuve isn't in Houston's lineup Saturday versus Cleveland.

After tallying a base hit in four of his last five games, Altuve will get a day to rest Saturday while Mauricio Dubon starts at second base and bats seventh.

Wisely isn't in the Giants' lineup Saturday versus St. Louis, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Wisely will get a chance to catch his breath Saturday after making three consecutive starts at second base. Casey Schmitt will fill in at the keystone and bat eighth in Wisely's stead.

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

Although Lopez has gone 8-for-18 and scored five runs during his five-game hitting streak, the Marlins will sit him down Saturday while Javier Sanoja picks up a start at the keystone.

Lopez isn't in the White Sox's lineup Saturday versus the Tigers.

Lopez will grab a seat on the bench Saturday after going just 1-for-16 over his last five games. Jacob Amaya will take over as Chicago's shortstop and bat ninth.

Torres isn't in the Yankees' lineup Saturday against the Pirates.

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.

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.
