Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY
Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Launches 24th homer
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.

Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Taking seat Saturday
Arenado isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Jose Miranda 3B | MIN
Twins' Jose Miranda: Lands on IL
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.

Eugenio Suarez 3B | SEA
Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Drives in run in loss
Suarez went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's 5-3 loss to San Diego.
Suarez was the lone Arizona batter to deliver with runners in scoring position during a stinging loss that put the Diamondbacks outside the final wild-card spot. He's been one of the team's hottest hitters this month, posting a slash line of .348/.390/.641 with eight home runs, 16 RBI and 22 runs over 24 contests. Suarez enters the weekend with 29 home runs and 99 RBI.

Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE
Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Notches 41st steal
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.

Arenado has gone 15-for-42 (.357) over his last 11 games to produce a strong end to the year. His double Friday was just his second extra-base hit in that span, and while his bat has been more consistent lately, he has just one homer over 23 games in September. Overall, the third baseman has a .272/.325/.394 slash line, 16 homers, 71 RBI, 70 runs scored, 23 doubles and two stolen bases over 152 contests this season.
