Chisholm went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 9-4 loss to the Pirates.

He got the Yankees on the board with a fifth-inning solo shot off Mike Burrows, but the Bucs already had a 4-0 lead at that point. Chisholm reached 40 steals on the season Friday, and he now sits one homer short of 25 with one game left to play on the regular-season schedule. The 26-year-old has been outstanding for New York since being acquired at the trade deadline -- 11 of his long balls, and 18 of his stolen bases, have come in only 46 games as a Yankee.

Caminero went 3-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and an additional run scored in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Red Sox.

Caminero gave the Rays the lead with a two-run homer in the third inning off Kutter Crawford, his sixth home run of the season. The 21-year-old now has three home runs over his last 10 games. Caminero has been playing regularly since getting his call-up in August, and he's now slashing .255/.306/.435 with 18 RBI in 42 games.

Westburg isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

After going 0-for-5 with an RBI in Friday's contest, Westburg will step aside Saturday while Ramon Urias starts at second base, opening up third for Emmanuel Rivera.

Bregman isn't in the Astros' lineup for Saturday's game against the Guardians.

Bregman will get a day off Saturday following his three-hit performance during Friday's win. Grae Kessinger will get the nod at the hot corner in Bregman's stead.

The Twins placed Miranda on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a lower-back strain.

With only two games left in the regular season and the Twins out of the running for a playoff spot, Miranda's move to the IL will rule him out for the rest of 2024. The 26-year-old will finish the season with a .284/.322/.441 slash line alongside nine home runs and 49 RBI across 429 plate appearances. Michael Helman was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move.

Ramirez went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Astros.

Ramirez was held hitless for just the fifth time in September over 24 games. He's batting .295 (28-for-95) this month while adding seven steals on 10 attempts. Ramirez has a career-high 41 steals this season, but his pursuit of a 40-40 campaign is running out of time -- he's at 38 homers with two games left on the schedule. The third baseman has added a .277/.334/.530 slash line, 115 RBI, 113 runs scored, 38 doubles and two triples over 157 games, matching his career high in games played for the third time, having previously reached the mark in 2018 and 2022.

The Rangers reinstated Duran from the paternity list Friday.

Duran missed the Rangers' last three games while on paternity leave, but the 25-year-old will be available for the upcoming weekend series against the Angels. For the month of September, Duran has slashed .288/.327/.442 with five doubles, one home run and six RBI across 55 plate appearances.

Rojas is absent from Friday's lineup against the Athletics, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

With the A's sending southpaw JP Sears to the mound Friday, the lefty-hitting Rojas will begin the game on the bench. Luis Urias will start at third base and bat eighth.

LeMahieu (hip) expects to ramp up baseball activities over the next few days as he aims to be available for the ALDS, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

LeMahieu isn't a given to be included on the Yankees' ALDS roster next week even if he's deemed healthy, but he at least wants to put himself in position to be an option. The veteran infielder has been sidelined since early September with a right hip impingement.

The Astros optioned Whitcomb to Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Whitcomb recently had a particularly rough game defensively and is also just 2-for-13 at the dish this month. Zach Dezenzo will move into his roster spot.
