Gimenez went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Guardians.

The former Cleveland shortstop swiped his first bag since Aug. 20 to reach 20 for the fourth time in his career. Gimenez has been finding ways to contribute at the plate down the stretch, and over 27 games since the beginning of August he's produced a .281/.337/.360 slash line with one homer, eight steals, nine runs and 11 RBI.

Duran went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 6-0 win over the Rays.

Duran's been a steady offensive contributor the last couple of weeks for the Rangers. He has RBI in eight of the last 11 games, during which he's gone 14-for-40 (.350) with two doubles, three home runs, 12 RBI and seven runs scored. Thursday's stolen base was his 11th and tied the career high he set in 2025.

Seager went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Thursday in a 6-0 win against the Rays.

Seager hit the only long ball of the game, clubbing a two-run shot to right-center field in the fifth inning. The veteran shortstop entered the contest amid a 12-game homer drought, though he had reached base at a healthy .370 clip during that span. Seager has hit 14 home runs through 81 contests this season, and he'll need to have a good month in the power department to reach the 20-homer mark for a fifth straight season.

Walls is not in the lineup against the Rangers on Thursday.

Walls started the Rays' previous six games, during which he went 7-for-20 with two RBI and two stolen bases. He's getting a breather Thursday while Jorge Mateo starts at shortstop and bats seventh.

Story isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Story will get a chance to catch his breath Thursday after going 7-for-16 with four RBI and a run scored while starting all four of Boston's games since his return from the IL on Sunday. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will fill in at shortstop and bat ninth.

Volpe was lifted from a game at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday with a right forearm contusion, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

Volpe initially remained in the contest after being hit by a pitch before eventually being removed. It's unclear whether Volpe required X-rays, but either way it seems he's avoided a serious injury. Volpe has performed well since being demoted in early August, slashing .276/.376/.632 with eight home runs over 23 contests. He's seen action at second and third base in addition to shortstop during that stretch.

Duran batted leadoff and went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 9-2 loss to the Athletics.

Duran gave the Rangers an early lead when he took Jacob Lopez deep on the third pitch he saw in the bottom of the first inning. It was the 16th home run of the season for Duran, who has found his swing again. Following a two-week run at the beginning of August in which he batted .128 (6-for-47), Duran's posted a .404 average (19-for-47) with three doubles, one triple, three home runs and 11 RBI over the subsequent 13 games. He's now at a career-high 507 plate appearances with a career-high .791 OPS.

Crawford went 3-for-3 with two run scored in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Red Sox.

Crawford has now gone 6-for-8 in his last three contests after going just 2-for-16 in his first five games following a month-long stint on the IL. With Colt Emerson (wrist) out for the year, Crawford should remain Seattle's everyday shortstop down the stretch. The veteran is slashing .221/.338/.347 with 10 homers, 31 RBI, 42 runs scored and one steal across 394 plate appearances this season.

Peck went 2-for-5 with a double, a run scored and three RBI in Wednesday's 11-6, extra-innings win over the Twins.

Peck delivered a double in the second inning, which was his first major-league hit and plated his first two runs. The 24-year-old just got called up from Triple-A Toledo on Monday, and it appears that he's going to get a long look at shortstop, with fellow rookies Kevin McGonigle and Hao-Yu Lee settling in at third base and second base, respectively. Peck could help secure himself a regular role with the Tigers in 2027 if he finishes this year with a flourish.

Lombard (knee) is not in the Yankees' starting lineup against the Angels on Wednesday.

Lombard will be out of the Yankees' lineup for a fourth consecutive game while recovering from right knee inflammation. He has been cleared to run and do light work on the field, and with the Yankees off Thursday, Lombard could be back in action for Friday's series opener against the Padres. Jose Caballero will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Lombard's absence Wednesday.
