    Reds' Nick Senzel: Shut down for season

    Senzel has been diagnosed with a torn labrum in his left shoulder and will be shut down for the rest of the season, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

    Senzel hadn't seen the field in over a week, and the Reds finally announced the extent of the injury Thursday evening. It's unclear at this time whether he'll require surgery, but his 2019 campaign has come to an end. He slashed .256/.315/.427 with 12 home runs, 42 RBI and 14 stolen bases over in 104 games.

    Reds' Nick Senzel: Out of Thursday's lineup

    Senzel (shoulder) is not in Thursday's lineup against the Mariners.

    He has been out of the lineup for over a week, and while he appeared off the bench last week, he hasn't done so since Sept. 7. Brian O'Grady is starting in center field and hitting seventh.

  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Gets day off

    Devers is not in the lineup Thursday against the Blue Jays, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

    It appears to be a rare day off for Devers, who has started the past 26 games, slashing .304/.361/.563 with five home runs and 17 RBI over that stretch. Brock Holt is covering third base in his stead, with Marco Hernandez manning the keystone.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Heads to bench amid slump

    Machado is not in Thursday's lineup against the Cubs.

    He has started the last 19 games and is hitting .209 with three home runs, one steal and a 14:10 K:BB in 67 at-bats over that stretch. Ty France will start at third base and hit sixth.

  • Matt Duffy 3B | TEX

    Rays' Matt Duffy: Serves as agitator in loss

    Duffy went 1-for-1 with an RBI single, a sacrifice fly and two walks in a loss to the Rangers on Wednesday. He was also caught stealing on his only attempt.

    Duffy was a thorn in the side of Rangers pitching before eventually being pinch run for by Johnny Davis in the seventh inning. The veteran infielder has seen spotty playing time in September, following a forgettable August during which he hit just .189. He's struggled to put good wood on the ball as well, as Duffy is still in search of his first home run of the season and has only five extra-base hits (all doubles) across 131 plate appearances.

  • Kevin Newman 3B | LAA

    Pirates' Kevin Newman: Out of Thursday's lineup

    Newman is not in Thursday's lineup against the Giants.

    Newman has hit safely in 15 of his last 16 games and is slashing .413/.486/.651 with three home runs and four steals over that stretch. Cole Tucker starts at shortstop and will hit sixth.

  • Mike Moustakas 3B | CHW

    Brewers' Mike Moustakas: Crushes two homers in return

    Moustakas went 3-for-4 with two home runs, five RBI and a walk in Wednesday's 7-5 win over the Marlins.

    Moustakas returned to the starting nine after missing most of the last couple weeks with the wrist injury and blasted two homers, including a two-run shot in the ninth inning to break a 5-5 tie. The veteran infielder will play a pivotal role down the stretch for the Brewers, especially with Christian Yelich (kneecap) going down for the season Tuesday.

  • Evan Longoria 3B | ARI

    Giants' Evan Longoria: Out of Wednesday's lineup

    Longoria is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Pirates.

    He is hitting .189 with one home run in 10 games this month. Corban Joseph will start at the hot corner and hit eighth.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: To be activated Friday

    Muncy (wrist) will be activated prior to Friday's game against the Mets, Alanna Rizzo of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

    This had been the hope, and now we have confirmation that Muncy is expected to be ready to return this weekend. He is already flying to New York to meet the team there for the three-game series. In the meantime, Matt Beaty and David Freese are platooning at first base.

  • Nick Senzel 3B | LAD

    Reds' Nick Senzel: Still out Wednesday

    Senzel (shoulder) is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Mariners.

    The last time Senzel was in the starting lineup was Sept. 3, although he has appeared off the bench in several games since then. Phillip Ervin will start in center field against southpaw Marco Gonzales.
