  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Remaining on bench Sunday

    Neto (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Neto sustained a hand injury while taking a swing Thursday and will sit Sunday for the third consecutive game. The Angels have a team day off Monday, so the shortstop will have an extra day to recover before Tuesday's series opener in Milwaukee. Denzer Guzman will pick up another start at shortstop for the Halos.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Tallies two RBI

    Pena went 1-for-5 with two RBI on Saturday against Atlanta.

    Pena delivered a two-RBI double in the second inning to put the Astros up 3-0. It was his fourth double and fifth extra-base hit across 11 games in September. He's also driven in six, scored four runs and stolen a base in that span.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Hits 10th homer

    Crawford went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a double in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Angels.

    Crawford connected in the fourth inning for his 10th homer of the season, though this was his first since Aug. 3 versus the Rangers. The shortstop has four multi-hit efforts over his last seven games, going 9-for-25 (.360) in that span. For the season, he's at a .264/.353/.362 slash line with 51 RBI, 64 runs scored, eight stolen bases and 22 doubles across 145 contests.

  • 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.
