  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Homers early in loss

    Marte went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and a second run scored in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Padres.

    Marte extended his hitting streak to seven games, a span in which he has gone 12-for-30 (.400) with two homers and five RBI. The second baseman has 27 long balls this season, including four across 22 games in September. Overall, he's added a .283/.376/.512 slash line with 71 RBI, 86 runs scored, four stolen bases and 28 doubles through 125 contests.

  • Nick Gonzales 2B | PIT

    Pirates' Nick Gonzales: Two hits in win

    Gonzales went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored Friday against Atlanta.

    Gonzales delivered an RBI single in the second inning as part of a three-run rally for Pittsburgh. He's had a quiet September, managing only 17 hits across 83 at-bats (.205) with seven RBI and seven runs scored in 21 games. Gonzales has just an 83 wRC+ across 400 plate appearances for the season, but he should be in the mix for regular playing time in Pittsburgh to begin 2026.

  • Royals' Jonathan India: Lifts three-run homer

    India went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Athletics.

    India's fourth-inning blast off Mason Barnett opened the scoring, but it was all the Royals could produce. India had gone over a month without a homer, batting just .203 (13-for-64) over 21 contests between long balls while missing time due to a wrist injury in that span. He's now at a .234/.324/.347 slash line with nine homers, 45 RBI, 63 runs scored, 29 doubles and no stolen bases over 135 contests. India held a starting role for much of the season but has slipped into a timeshare with Michael Massey and Adam Frazier in September.

  • Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Goes deep in rout

    Hoerner went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 12-1 win over the Cardinals.

    Hoerner popped his seventh home run of the season in the first inning, as he was one of four Chicago players to go deep. The speedy infielder isn't known for his power -- his career high in homers is only 10 -- and he appears likely to finish with a single-digit total for the third straight year. Hoerner is a great source of steals, however, as he has 29 of them this season in 35 attempts, and he's swiped 103 bags since the start of 2023.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Homer, three RBI in win

    Sosa went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Friday's 10-9 win over the Nationals.

    Sosa fell a triple shy of the cycle and drove in runs on three separate occasions, including on a solo homer in the fourth inning. The 25-year-old has hit safely in four of his past five games, tallying three extra-base hits and five RBI in that span. For the season, he's slashing .263/.292/.433 with 22 home runs, 75 RBI, 55 runs scored and two steals across 536 plate appearances.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Goes deep three times in loss

    Garcia went 3-for-4 with three home runs and four RBI in Friday's 10-9 loss to the White Sox.

    Garcia did his best to spark a comeback from an early seven-run deficit, slugging three home runs for the first time in his career. The effort was especially encouraging after the 25-year-old had gone just 3-for-32 since his last multi-hit game Sept. 10. On the season, he's slashing .255/.291/.417 with 16 homers, 66 RBI, 66 runs scored and 13 steals across 519 plate appearances.

  • Edmundo Sosa 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Goes deep in win

    Sosa went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-1 win over the Twins.

    Sosa singled in the third inning before launching his career-high 11th home run in the fifth. The 29-year-old has been on fire since returning from the injured list Wednesday, going deep four times in three games. For the season, he's slashing .279/.311/.475 with 11 homers, 39 RBI, 30 runs scored and one steal across 258 plate appearances.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Nursing ankle injury

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Edman is not in Friday's lineup against the Mariners due to ankle soreness, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Edman appeared to tweak his ankle on a diving catch attempt during Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, which prompted him to sit out Thursday's contest. Roberts relayed that Edman's ankle is "a little sore," and with the Dodgers clinching the NL West in Thursday's win over Arizona, Edman will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game for rest purposes. Edman will be joined by Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts and Max Muncy on the bench in Friday's series opener while Miguel Rojas starts at the keystone and bats sixth.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Sitting again Friday

    Edman is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Mariners on Friday.

    Edman will be out of the starting lineup for a second consecutive game, though that presumably has more to do with the Dodgers capturing the NL West following their 8-0 win over the Diamondbacks on Thursday. He'll join Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts and Max Muncy on the bench while Miguel Rojas starts at second base and bats sixth.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: On bench Friday

    Massey is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics.

    Massey will start Friday's game on the bench even as the Royals go up against a right-hander (Mason Barnett). Jonathan India will step in at second base and bat seventh.
