    White Sox's Eloy Jimenez: Diagnosed with mild sprain

    Jimenez is considered day-to-day with a mild right foot sprain, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

    Jimenez left Thursday's game with the injury, which was originally called right foot soreness. Adam Engel starts in left field Friday. The White Sox have clinched a playoff berth but are still fighting with the Twins for the AL Central title, and they don't want to rush Jimenez back before he's ready simply for seeding purposes. As a result, he isn't expected to play at any point this weekend, per Scott Merkin of MLB.com.

  • Jorge Soler DH | LAA

    Royals' Jorge Soler: Lands on injured list

    Soler was placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained right oblique Friday.

    The injury will bring a premature end to Soler's campaign. He missed time with the injury earlier in September but returned from the injured list Monday, appearing in the next four games. He was evidently still somewhat hurt, however, so he'll be shut down a few days early with the Royals out of the playoff picture.

    White Sox's Eloy Jimenez: On bench Friday

    Jimenez (foot) will sit Friday against the Cubs.

    Jimenez left Thursday's game against Cleveland with a sore right foot. He'll miss the chance to face the team that traded him away as a prospect back in 2017 on this occasion, though it's possible he returns over the weekend.

  • Matt Carpenter DH | STL

    Cardinals' Matt Carpenter: Not starting afternoon game

    Carpenter will be on the bench for the first of Friday's two games against the Brewers, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Carpenter hits the bench with lefty Brent Suter on the mound for Milwaukee. He'll likely return to the lineup for the nightcap against righty Josh Lindblom. Tommy Edman starts at third base in his absence.

  • Brad Miller DH | SD

    Cardinals' Brad Miller: Sitting Game 1

    Miller is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the Brewers, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Miller is 3-for-9 with two doubles in his past three games but will take a seat for Friday's matinee. Dexter Fowler will serve as the designated hitter while Tyler O'Neill, Harrison Bader and Dylan Carlson start from left to right in the outfield.

  • Miguel Cabrera DH | DET

    Tigers' Miguel Cabrera: Homers again Thursday

    Cabrera went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Thursday's 8-7 loss to the Royals.

    Cabrera has been raking lately with four home runs in his last four games. The veteran is now up to 10 long balls for the season, and it's the 15th time in his 16-year career that he's reached double figures in home runs, with the lone exception being his injury-shortened 2018 campaign. Cabrera will look to tack on a few more homers to his tally over the weekend in Kansas City.

    White Sox's Eloy Jimenez: Dealing with foot soreness

    Jimenez left Thursday's game against the Indians with right foot soreness and will be further evaluated Friday.

    Jimenez appeared to be dealing with some sort of discomfort in his lower body before exiting in the seventh, and it's been confirmed that he was experiencing soreness in his foot. The full extent of the issue should be revealed Friday, but for the time being, the outfielder can be considered day-to-day.

    White Sox's Eloy Jimenez: Exits Thursday

    Jimenez was removed from Thursday's game against the Indians due to apparent lower-body discomfort, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

    Per Fegan, Jimenez appeared hobbled after running the bases in the top of the seventh. He jogged out to left field in the bottom half of the inning, but the White Sox ultimately decided to replace him with Adam Engel. Given that he seemed to want to stay in the game, the injury doesn't appear to be too serious. More about the extent of the issue should be known after the game.

  • Jorge Soler DH | LAA

    Royals' Jorge Soler: Sitting out Thursday

    Soler isn't starting Thursday against the Tigers.

    Soler went 1-for-11 with one RBI and four strikeouts in three games since returning from an oblique injury, and he'll get a breather Thursday. Ryan O'Hearn will serve as the designated hitter.

  • Brewers' Daniel Vogelbach: Out against lefty

    Vogelbach is not in Thursday's lineup against the Cardinals.

    He will head to the bench with lefty Kwang Hyun Kim on the hill for St. Louis. Jedd Gyorko will start at first base and bat cleanup.
