MLB Player News

Ahmed is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers.

He'll take seat after logging singles in each of the past three games. Josh Rojas will shift to shortstop as Ketel Marte moves to second base.

Lindor went 1-for-2 with two walks in Monday's 7-0 loss to the Cardinals.

The Mets are finally seeing the player they thought they traded for in the offseason, although Lindor's turnaround might have come too late to salvage their playoff hopes. Over 13 games in September, the shortstop is slashing .283/.404/.717 with six homers, 14 RBI and 14 runs.

DeJong is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

DeJong went 2-for-10 with a solo home run and a stolen base while starting in each of the Cardinals' last four games, but he'll shift back to a bench role now that top shortstop Edmundo Sosa (wrist) is back in the lineup to begin the week. So long as Sosa stays healthy the rest of the season, DeJong likely won't be in store for more than 2-to-3 starts per week.

Crawford (wrist) will be in the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

Crawford was held out of Sunday's series finale against the Cubs after he exited Saturday's game with wrist soreness, but he'll return to action after a one-game absence. Across his four appearances prior to his injury, the 34-year-old went 7-for-14 with a home run, a double, four runs and four RBI.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base Sunday in a victory over the Padres.

Turner entered the contest without a steal in his past 13 games, but he ended the drought with a first-inning theft of second base. The infielder is just 1-for-11 over his past three games but still leads the National League with a .316 batting average and 27 stolen bases.

Edman went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in a win over the Reds on Sunday.

Nolan Arenado did all the damage on the scoreboard with a first-inning two-run home run, but Edman gave fantasy managers something to smile about with more success on the basepaths. The proficient leadoff hitter's stolen base was his fourth of September and 25th of the campaign, and he's now sporting a modest three-game hitting streak as well.

Lindor went 3-for-4 with three home runs, three runs, five RBI and a walk in a 7-6 victory over the Yankees on Sunday.

Lindor powered the Mets offense Sunday with a three-run home run in the first inning and solo shots in the sixth and eighth, with the latter proving to be the deciding run in the game. With the impressive feat against the Mets' archrivals, Lindor has finally been initiated into New York baseball given his dismal performance for much of the season. The electric shortstop has turned things around in September with a .273/.377/.727 slash line in 12 games this month, though Sunday's performance is responsible for a large portion of the recent success.

Seager went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in an 8-0 win against the Padres on Sunday.

Seager opened the game's scoring with his fourth-inning solo shot to left off Dinelson Lamet. The 27-year-old shortstop has cooled a bit of late but is still slashing .333/.439/.576 in 11 September games.

Crawford (wrist) will sit Sunday against the Cubs.

Crawford is considered day-to-day with wrist soreness, an issue which forced him to exit Saturday's game in the fifth inning. Mauricio Dubon will be the shortstop Sunday.

Barrero won't start Sunday against St. Louis, as he's still sore after exiting Saturday's game following a collision with teammate Tyler Naquin, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

The exact nature and severity of Barrero's injury is unclear, but he's yet to be diagnosed with anything other than soreness. Eugenio Suarez starts at shortstop in his absence.
