The shortstop's strong performance is rounding out his excellent season -- he's at a .291/.391/.461 slash line with 19 home runs, 98 RBI, 97 runs scored, 33 doubles and five triples through 159 games.

Tovar went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Giants.
Tovar got the Rockies on the board with a fifth-inning homer, but that was their only scoring play of the game. This was his first long ball in nearly a month -- his last came Aug. 28 versus the Astros, and he hit a modest .233 (20-for-86) with just two doubles and seven RBI over the 25 games between homers.

On the year, the shortstop is at a .226/.320/.420 slash line with 29 homers, 86 RBI, 93 runs scored, 12 stolen bases, 22 doubles and two triples across 158 contests.

Trea Turner SS | PHI
Phillies' Trea Turner: Could return Sunday
Manager Rob Thomson said Friday that Turner (hamstring) had an encouraging day of work, and while Turner won't play Saturday, he could return to the lineup Sunday against Minnesota, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Turner is working his way back from a strained right hamstring and could be activated for the Phillies' regular-season finale. Thomson has reiterated that Turner is expected to be available for Game 1 of the NLDS on Oct. 4, but a tuneup game Sunday could help knock off some rust, considering he's been on the shelf since Sept. 8.

Vidal Brujan SS | ATL
Braves' Vidal Brujan: Still idle
Brujan (hip) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Pittsburgh.
Brujan was lifted from Sunday's game with a right hip injury and hasn't appeared in a game since. It's unclear if the utility player is still dealing with the injury, as he isn't a regular in Atlanta's lineup. He has taken 11 at-bats in September.

Masyn Winn SS | STL
Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Has successful surgery
Winn's surgery to repair a torn right meniscus was successful, and he's expected to be a full-go in time for spring training, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
The 23-year-old shortstop expects to be 100 percent by January. Winn played through the injury for several months before being shut down in mid-September. He slashed .253/.310/.363 with nine home runs and nine stolen bases across 537 plate appearances in 2025.

Ryan Ritter SS | COL
Rockies' Ryan Ritter: Knocks three hits in loss
Ritter went 3-for-4 in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Mariners.
Ritter did his part to get on base, but he wasn't directly involved in any run-scoring plays. He's seen a part-time role in September, batting .237 (9-for-38) over 14 games this month. The infielder is at a .251/.301/.352 slash line with one home runs, three stolen bases, 18 RBI, 22 runs scored, nine doubles and three triples over 197 plate appearances in the majors this season.

He's now reached the 30-homer mark in three straight years and six times in his career.

Swanson also needs two more stolen bases this year to record his first career 20-20 campaign.
