Hernaiz (ankle), reinstated from the injured list earlier in the day, started at second base and went 0-for-4 in a loss to the Dodgers on Saturday.

The rookie infielder logged his first big-league action since May 7 after finally overcoming a troublesome ankle injury. Hernaiz had hit well during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas, but it wouldn't be surprising if his timing against major-league arms, which was still very much a work in progress at the time of his placement on the IL, takes a while to develop.

Jimenez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Jimenez will exit the starting nine for the series finale in New York while the Blue Jays open up a spot on the left side of the infield for Luis De Los Santos, who will cover third base in his first MLB start. Ernie Clement will slide over to shortstop in place of Jimenez, who has served as the Blue Jays' primary option at the position since Bo Bichette (calf) landed on the shelf July 20. Jimenez hasn't offered much to get excited about from a fantasy perspective, as he's slashing .143/.196/.167 with zero home runs or stolen bases in 15 games since the All-Star break.

Neto went 2-for-3 with a home run, four RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Saturday's win over the Mets.

Neto walked in his first trip to the plate before going on to score the Angels' first run on a Kevin Pillar single two batters later. The shortstop went on to add an RBI single in the fifth followed by a three-run homer in the seventh, which proved to be the game winner. The long ball was Neto's third since the start of July, while the multi-hit performance was his first since July 21 against Oakland. He's batting .241 (7-for-29) over his last 10 contests with five RBI and six runs scored.

Henderson went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Guardians.

Henderson saw an eight-game hitting streak snapped Friday, but he bounced right back with his first three-hit effort since July 19. The shortstop batted .276 in July, just a touch worse than his .288 average through 110 contests overall. For the season, he's added a .934 OPS, 67 RBI, 90 runs scored, 28 home runs, 14 stolen bases, 22 doubles and six triples. With Colton Cowser getting more run atop the order versus right-handers and short-side platoon specialist Austin Slater getting a look at leadoff versus southpaw Joey Cantillo on Saturday, Henderson has been hitting third in the order, which gives him a better chance to generate RBI.

Walls went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Astros.

Walls recorded just his fifth hit in his last 16 games. Despite the struggles with getting on base, he's logged three steals during his slump, in part thanks to drawing eight walks over those contests. He's posted a punchless .156/.277/.193 slash line with no home runs, six steals, four RBI and 12 runs scored over 130 plate appearances this year. He appears to still be the Rays' preferred shortstop despite adding nothing with the bat and also being a poor fielder -- per Statcast, he has recorded a -4 mark in Outs Above Average in his first year exclusively at the position.

Volpe went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Blue Jays.

Volpe hit a two-run home run in the fifth inning and added an RBI single in the seventh. The shortstop is enjoying an eight-game hit streak in which he has homered four times and logged five multi-hit efforts. On the season, he is batting .261 with 11 homers, 44 RBI, 72 runs scored and 19 steals across 500 plate appearances.

Correa (heel) jogged and participated in fielding drills Saturday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Although the plantar fasciitis in Correa's right heel has lingered longer than initially expected, he said Saturday that he has started to feel much better over the past few days. Once he's able to sprint without any pain, he will head on a minor-league rehab assignment, though the Twins haven't yet provided an estimate for when that may commence.

Hamilton is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's contest against Texas, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

The lefty-hitting Hamilton will begin Saturday's game on the bench with the Rangers sending southpaw Cody Bradford to the mound. Romy Gonzalez will start at second base and bat third.

The Tigers optioned Kreidler to Triple-A Toledo on Saturday.

Kreidler appeared in two games for the big club after being called up from Toledo on Monday, going 1-for-4 with a stolen base. For the season, he's slashing .136/.208/.205 with three stolen bases, one home run and two RBI across 48 major-league plate appearances. The move makes room on the Tigers' 26-man roster for Parker Meadows (hamstring), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list.

Rocchio went 2-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 8-4 win over the Orioles.

Rocchio has started four of the last five games, suggesting he is clawing back some playing time from Daniel Schneemann, though the Guardians have faced three southpaws in that span. Over his last seven contests, Rocchio is 5-for-19 (.263) with two extra-base hits. He's at a .211/.304/.308 slash line with four home runs, eight steals, 21 RBI and 37 runs scored over 308 plate appearances this year. Cleveland has tried a number of players at shortstop in 2024, but the position remains up for grabs.
