Neto went 0-for-1 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the White Sox.

Neto didn't start the contest but entered as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning and drew a walk. He proceeded to steal second base, then scored the game-tying run on a Taylor Ward single. The theft was Neto's 30th of the campaign, making him one of seven major-leaguers so far this season to log 20 home runs and 30 stolen bases.

The Blue Jays placed Bichette on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a fractured right middle finger, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Bichette was scratched from the lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Rangers due to what the team initially referred to as a finger contusion. However, subsequent testing has revealed a fracture, which will end the shortstop's season. Injuries have limited Bichette to just 81 games in 2024, and he slashed a disappointing .225/.277/.322 with four home runs during that time. Ernie Clement and Leo Jimenez will handle shortstop for the Blue Jays down the stretch with Bichette out.

Lee is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians.

The switch-hitting Lee had started in each of the Twins' last three matchups with right-handed pitchers, but he'll hit the bench for a second straight matchup with a lefty (Joey Cantillo). Though Carlos Correa looks poised to serve as the Twins' primary shortstop down the stretch following his recent activation from the injured list, Lee could factor into the mix for playing time at second base, where Minnesota has been rotating three players (Lee, Edouard Julien and Kyle Farmer) of late. Super-utility man Willi Castro is typically picking up starts out of the outfield but could settle in as the primary option at the keystone once outfielder Max Kepler (knee) returns from the injured list.

Story went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 2-1 win against the Rays.

There wasn't much offense between the two teams, but Story stuffed the stat sheet anyway, belting a solo homer in the sixth inning and swiping a pair of bags. The long ball was the shortstop's second since he returned Sept. 7 from an absence of over five months due to a dislocated shoulder. Since being activated from the IL, Story has batted .286 (10-for-35) with four RBI and four steals over 10 games.

Correa went 3-for-5 with four RBI in an extra-inning loss to the Guardians on Wednesday.

All three of Correa's hits were singles, but they collectively resulted in three Twins runs. The shortstop added another RBI with a first-inning fielder's choice, so all four of Minnesota's runs came on plays off his bat. Correa has gone 5-for-10 with two walks in three contests since returning from the injured list Sept. 14.

Bichette was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Rangers due to a right middle finger contusion, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Bichette went 2-for-5 with an RBI in his return from the injured list Tuesday, but he'll be prevented from playing Wednesday as he deals with a bruised finger. His absence will move Ernie Clement from third base to shortstop, and Addison Barger will enter the starting nine to start at the hot corner.

Caballero is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Red Sox.

Cabellero started each of the previous five games for the Rays, but he will begin Wednesday's contest on the bench. Taylor Walls will garner the start at shortstop and will bat eighth.

Neto is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the White Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

In the midst of a 1-for-24 drought at the dish, Neto is receiving a rare day off. Jack Lopez will cover shortstop and bat second for the Angels while Neto gets some rest.

Amaya is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

After making 14 starts at shortstop in a 16-game stretch from Aug. 30 through Monday, Amaya now finds himself on the bench for the second day in a row. He's sat in each of the White Sox's last three matchups with right-handed pitchers, as Amaya looks to have moved into the short side of a platoon at shortstop with the lefty-hitting Nicky Lopez. Since joining the White Sox on Aug. 27 after being claimed off waivers from the Astros, Amaya is slashing .244/.311/.268.

Schuemann is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Cubs.

Schuemann manned third base for the Athletics in each of the previous five games, but he will begin Wednesday's contest on the bench. Nick Allen will handle the hot corner and bat ninth.
