  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Two hits, stolen base amidst slump

    Henderson went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-4 loss to Toronto.

    Henderson is still mired in quite the cold spell so far in September, batting .143 (5-for-35) with a lone RBI in his first 10 games of the month. The star shortstop has taken a step back this season following an outstanding 2024 regular season, when posted a career-best .893 OPS over 159 outings, but he still has a realistic shot at recording his second straight 20-homer, 20-steal campaign. Henderson is hitting .270 with 16 long balls, 62 RBI, 81 runs scored and 23 pilfers across 525 at-bats.

  • Denzer Guzman SS | LAA

    Angels' Denzer Guzman: Called up to majors

    The Angels selected Guzman's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.

    Guzman has played both shortstop and third base in the minors this season and has slashed .247/.343/.769 with 17 home runs, 74 RBI and 14 stolen bases across 129 games between Double-A and Triple-A. Zach Neto (hand) remains out of the Angels' lineup Saturday, so Guzman is starting at shortstop and batting seventh for what will be his MLB debut, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com. Los Angeles also promoted infielder Christian Moore from the minors Saturday while designating infielder Scott Kingery for assignment. Outfielder Matthew Lugo was also optioned to Salt Lake in a move that helped make room on the 26-man roster for Guzman and Moore.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Out again Saturday

    Neto (hand) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    The 24-year-old will grab a seat on the bench for the second day in a row after injuring his hand on a swing Thursday. The newly promoted Denzer Guzman will start at shortstop in Neto's place. Neto could be available off the bench later in the contest, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Could take swings soon

    Texas manager Bruce Bochy said Friday that Seager (abdomen) was able to rotate his body, MLB.com reports.

    Seager's ability to rotate his body enables the Rangers to speed up his recovery. He hopes to begin swinging a bat soon and could return during the team's final homestand beginning Sept. 19.

  • Gabriel Arias SS | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Double, run in return

    Arias went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 4-0 win over the White Sox.

    Arias doubled and scored the Guardians' third run. He returned from a three-game absence due to inflammation in his right wrist and was back at shortstop. Arias may have his job back, but he hasn't provided lot of offense, slashing .164/.215/.230 with three RBI over the last 20 games.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Out of Friday's lineup

    Neto (hand) isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Neto seemed to have trouble with his hand after taking a swing Thursday, so the Angels will sit him down Friday as a precaution. Oswald Peraza will pick up a start at shortstop as a result, opening up first base for Logan Davidson.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Exits with injury

    Baez was removed from Friday's game against the Marlins after fouling a ball off his head, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    An awkward swing from Baez in the second inning resulted in the ball deflecting off his forehead, immediately prompting his removal from the game. The Tigers will almost certainly evaluate the 32-year-old for a concussion; meanwhile, Trey Sweeney will take over as Detroit's shortstop.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Likely won't start during weekend

    Manager Aaron Boone said Friday that he doesn't think Volpe (shoulder) will be able to start any of the Yankees' games against Boston this weekend, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

    Volpe received a cortisone shot in his shoulder Wednesday, and while he could be available off the bench at some point over the weekend, he isn't expected to be part of the starting nine until Monday at the earliest. Jose Caballero should serve as the Yankees' primary option at shortstop during the series.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Getting rare day off

    Pena is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.

    Pena will get the night off after making 24 consecutive starts at shortstop. He went 24-for-101 (.238) with two home runs, seven doubles and three stolen bases during that stretch. Mauricio Dubon will bat ninth and play shortstop Friday.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Out of lineup again Friday

    Volpe (shoulder) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game in Boston.

    Volpe received a cortisone shot Wednesday for a nagging left shoulder injury and will miss a third straight start. It's unclear whether he'll be available off the bench, but he's not expected to need a stint on the 10-day injured list. Jose Caballero will again play shortstop for the Yankees on Friday.
