  • Vidal Brujan SS | ATL

    Braves' Vidal Brujan: Exits with hip injury

    Brujan was removed from Sunday's game against the Tigers with right hip tightness.

    Brujan, who picked up a start at third base Sunday, went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored prior to exiting and being replaced by Luke Williams. Given that Brujan rarely starts -- he had eight at-bats this month prior to Sunday -- he may not return to the lineup as soon as he's healthy.

  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Nationals' CJ Abrams: Managing shoulder injury

    Abrams is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets due to a jammed right shoulder, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    Nasim Nunez will fill in at shortstop in place of Abrams, who sustained the injury when he was tagged out while trying to advance to third base in the 11th inning of Saturday's 5-3 win. According to interim manager Miguel Cairo, Abrams will be available to pinch hit Sunday if needed, so the 24-year-old's absence from the lineup appears to be mostly precautionary in nature.

    Nationals' CJ Abrams: On bench Sunday

    Abrams is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    With southpaw Sean Manaea on the hill for the Mets, the left-handed-hitting Abrams will get the day off. Nasim Nunez will step in at shortstop for Abrams.

  • Ryan Ritter SS | COL

    Rockies' Ryan Ritter: Resting Saturday

    Ritter isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    After tallying a base hit in each of his last two games, Ritter will take a seat to begin Saturday's contest. Tyler Freeman will take over as Colorado's second baseman, allowing Yanquiel Fernandez to start as the DH.

    De La Cruz went 1-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run in Friday's 7-4 win over the Cubs. He was also caught stealing.

    De La Cruz helped break a 4-4 tie in the seventh inning when he hit the second of back-to-back home runs. The blast, his 20th of the season, was his first since July 31. In those 43 games in between homers, De La Cruz slashed .205/.255/.290 with just 10 RBI.
