  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Phillies' Trea Turner: Status for this weekend uncertain

    Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Thursday that Turner (hamstring) will not be activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, and he's not sure whether the shortstop will return at any point during the weekend series versus the Twins, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    The good news is Turner had another good workout Thursday and Thomson is adamant that his starting shortstop will be ready for Game 1 of the NLDS on Oct. 4. Ideally, Turner will be back at some point this weekend in order to knock rust off before the playoffs, but the primary goal is to have him ready for the postseason. He's been sidelined for much of September with a Grade 1 right hamstring strain.

  • Joseph Ortiz SS | MIL

    Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Out of Milwaukee lineup

    Ortiz is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in San Diego.

    Ortiz started the previous six games and had at least one hit in each of those contests, but he'll get some rest in Wednesday's series finale. Andruw Monasterio will replace him at shortstop and bat eighth.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Plates three runs Tuesday

    Lindor went 2-for-5 with a solo homer and three RBI in Tuesday's win over the Cubs.

    Lindor opened up the game with a leadoff home run versus Cade Horton and later plated additional runs in the fifth and sixth. Tuesday marked Lindor's first game with multiple RBI since Aug. 29, but he's now recorded a hit in 11 straight games, including homers in back-to-back. Lindor is one home run away from achieving the 30-homer mark for a third straight season and he's now up to 83 RBI and 113 runs in 2025.

  • Ezequiel Tovar SS | COL

    Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Knocks in two

    Tovar went 1-for-3 with two RBI on Tuesday against the Mariners.

    Tovar went through a six-game hitless streak in mid-September, but he's followed that by collecting at least one hit in six of his last eight starts. He delivered a two-RBI single in the sixth inning of Tuesday's contest, giving him four RBI in that same eight-game span. Tovar is wrapping up a disappointing season, posting only 29 extra-base hits and a .141 ISO across 370 plate appearances.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Walks it off

    Perdomo went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Dodgers.

    The Diamondbacks were down a run entering the bottom of the ninth inning, but contributions came from the bottom of the order and eventually Perdomo produced a walk-off win. The shortstop singled in the game-winning run, and the two-hit night extended a hit streak to 12 games, during which he's slashing .409/.536/.682 with seven extra-base hits (two HR), nine walks, two steals and seven RBI. His strong finish highlights what has been a breakout season worthy of MVP consideration. Perdomo has a 6.9 fWAR (fifth in MLB) and 6.8 bWAR (third).

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Posts steal in loss

    Adames went 2-for-5 with a double, one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Tuesday's 9-8 loss to the Cardinals.

    Adames played a big part in the Giants' third-inning rally, knocking in a run with a single, stealing second and scoring in that frame. This was the shortstop's first multi-hit effort since Sept. 13 versus the Dodgers -- he had gone just 3-for-30 with nine walks and 12 strikeouts over his previous nine games. He's now at a .226/.319/.417 slash line with 28 home runs, 84 RBI, 91 runs scored and 12 stolen bases over 156 contests in what's been a mixed bag of a first year with San Francisco for the 30-year-old.

  • Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Swats homer in loss

    De La Cruz went 3-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Tuesday's loss to Pittsburgh.

    De La Cruz's second-inning home run was the only source of offense for the Reds. It was his second long ball in his last four appearances after finally snapping a 43-game drought. He entered August with an .852 OPS, but he's now sporting a .784 OPS through 677 plate appearances. De La Cruz has 21 homers, 59 extra-base hits and 36 stolen bases this season.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Activated Tuesday after delays

    The Padres activated Bogaerts (foot) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    In a corresponding move Tuesday, the Padres optioned Will Wagner to the Arizona Complex League. It was initially thought Bogaerts would return during this past weekend or Monday, but he had delays regarding his pregame workouts for his fractured foot. The shortstop is batting second Tuesday at home versus the Brewers, who are sending lefty Bruce Zimmermann to the mound.

  • Nasim Nunez SS | WAS

    Nationals' Nasim Nunez: Fourth straight start Tuesday

    Nunez will start at second base and bat leadoff in Tuesday's contest versus Atlanta.

    It's the fourth straight start for Nunez and the second straight day he's been in the leadoff spot. He enters play Tuesday having homered in back-to-back games and is 9-for-30 with four home runs and a stolen base in September. Nunez could continue to push Luis Garcia -- who is making his first-ever start at first base Tuesday -- for playing time at second base down the stretch.

  • Nasim Nunez SS | WAS

    Nationals' Nasim Nunez: Goes deep again

    Nunez went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Monday's 11-5 loss against Atlanta.

    Nunez jumped on the first pitch of the game and sent it the other way for a leadoff homer to give Washington an early edge, though the lead didn't last long in an eventual loss. The infielder has now gone deep in consecutive games and is swinging it well, producing a .939 OPS with four homers and nine RBI over his past 15 contests.
