  • Jorge Polanco 2B | NYM

    Mariners' Jorge Polanco: Clubs homer in loss

    Polanco went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Dodgers.

    Polanco's fifth-inning blast gave the Mariners a 3-2 lead. He's homered twice over his last three games and now has 26 long balls on the year, the second-best total of any season in his career. The second baseman has added a .265/.326/.495 slash line with 78 RBI, 64 runs scored, six stolen bases and 30 doubles over 138 contests. He's batting .329 (27-for-82) with 17 extra-base hits across 23 games in September.

  • Shohei Ohtani DH | LAD

    Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Rare day off Saturday

    Ohtani isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners.

    Ohtani went 0-for-3 during Friday's victory but still managed to extend his on-base streak to 30 games by drawing a walk. The Dodgers will give him an extra day to rest Saturday in preparation for the postseason, which will allow Tommy Edman to work as the DH while Miguel Rojas starts at second base.

  • Pirates' Andrew McCutchen: Not starting Saturday

    McCutchen isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

    McCutchen will receive a day off Saturday after his 1-for-4 performance during Friday's win. Joey Bart will step in to serve as Pittsburgh's designated hitter while batting sixth.

  • Jared Young 1B | NYM

    Mets' Jared Young: Brought up from Syracuse

    The Mets recalled Young from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.

    Young will join the active roster for the closing days of the regular season as the Mets place Brett Baty (oblique) on the injured list. Young should provide depth at the corner infield positions, but he doesn't have a clear path to playing time.

  • Giants' Rafael Devers: Doubles in win

    Devers went 1-for-2 with three walks, a double and a run scored in Friday's 6-3 win over the Rockies.

    The 28-year-old drew a walk in the first inning before coming around to score on a two-run homer by Willy Adames. Devers added a double in the second, marking his first two-bagger since Sept. 10. He has reached base safely in 10 consecutive games, slashing .211/.348/.474 with three home runs and a 30.4 percent strikeout rate in 46 plate appearances during that span. Overall, he's slashing .252/.373/.476 with 107 RBI, 97 runs scored, 34 long balls and one stolen base across 721 plate appearances in 161 games between the Giants and Red Sox.

  • Blue Jays' Anthony Santander: Idle Saturday

    Santander isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays.

    Santander will get a breather after going 1-for-8 with four strikeouts in three games since returning from the injured list. Davis Schneider will fill the resulting void in left field and bat fifth.

  • Shohei Ohtani DH | LAD

    Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Swipes bag No. 20

    Ohtani went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 3-2 win over the Mariners.

    The reigning NL NVP hasn't been able to match his historic 50-50 campaign from 2024, but Ohtani swiped his 20th bag of the year Friday, the third straight season he's reached that mark. His power numbers haven't regressed as he looks to defend his MVP crown -- he's headed for his third straight campaign with an OPS over 1.000, slashing .279/.390/.616 through 720 plate appearances with 54 homers and 101 RBI, including nine long balls in 23 September contests.

  • Mike Trout CF | LAA

    Angels' Mike Trout: Goes yard twice against 'Stros

    Trout went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Friday's 4-3 win over Houston.

    The 34-year-old got the Angels on the board when he took Jason Alexander deep in the fourth inning, before launching a Bryan King fastball over the right-center field fence in the eighth inning for what proved to be the game-winning run. Trout has gone yard four times in his last five games to reach 25 on the year, the 10th time in his career he's reached that milestone, and his 403 career blasts rank second among active players behind Giancarlo Stanton's 452.

  • Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Extends hit streak

    Yoshida went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 4-3 win over the Tigers.

    The Red Sox did little against Detroit starter Casey Mize for six innings until Yoshida opened the seventh with a single. Two batters later and after 80 pitches, Mize was removed, and the Red Sox took advantage of the bullpen. Yoshida scored in the seventh, and Boston scored runs in the following two innings to complete the comeback. The multi-hit effort extended Yoshida's hit streak to seven games, during which he's gone 13-for-30 (.433) with four extra-base hits and five RBI.

  • Miguel Andujar RF | CIN

    Reds' Miguel Andujar: Key hit in win

    Andujar went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 3-1 win over Milwaukee.

    Andujar plated the go-ahead run and scored the insurance run in the Reds' two-run sixth inning. He's started the last two games as the designated hitter but has been limited to DH and pinch-hit duties for the last two weeks.
