  • Luke Williams SS | ATL

    Braves' Luke Williams: Back in majors

    Atlanta selected Williams' contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

    The utility man was outrighted to Gwinnett last weekend after being designated for assignment by Atlanta, but he's back in the big leagues with Jake Fraley (oblique) landing on the injured list. Williams has gone 4-for-30 with five stolen bases in 44 MLB games this season and is unlikely to see much playing time while up with the big club.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Swipes base Saturday

    Swanson went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and two RBI in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Rays.

    Swanson swiped his 16th bag of the season in 19 attempts, and he also increased his RBI total to 74. The shortstop set a new career high last year with 19 steals, and that number is within striking distance if he stays active on the basepaths down the stretch in 2025. Swanson is also sitting at 22 home runs this season, which is five away from tying his career best.

  • Jared Triolo SS | PIT

    Pirates' Jared Triolo: Goes deep late in win

    Triolo went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in a 5-1 win against the Nationals on Saturday.

    Triolo capped a late Pittsburgh offensive surge with a 409-foot solo blast in the ninth inning. The long ball was the only extra-base hit by either team in a game that featured strong starting pitching on both sides. Triolo finished with his third straight multi-hit performance, and he's gone 6-for-14 with three extra-base hits during that span.

  • Ryan Ritter SS | COL

    Rockies' Ryan Ritter: Out again Saturday

    Ritter (undisclosed) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    The Rockies haven't disclosed any information about Ritter's injury, but Saturday will mark the fifth consecutive contest he's missed because of it. Orlando Arcia will start at second and bat ninth against right-hander Dylan Cease; meanwhile, Ritter may be ticketed for a trip to the IL if he doesn't return soon.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Phillies' Trea Turner: May swing bat soon

    Turner (hamstring) did some pole running and played catch Saturday, and he may swing a bat Sunday or Monday, Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic reports.

    Turner appears to be making progress from the hamstring strain that caused him to go on the 10-day IL on Sept. 8. It doesn't seem likely that the veteran shortstop will be ready to return when first eligible, but the hope remains that he'll be able to get some games in before the postseason. Edmundo Sosa had been filling in at shortstop most days for Philadelphia, but he's currently dealing with a groin issue, so Bryson Stott is starting at the position Saturday.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Doubles in victory

    Adames went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk in Friday's 5-1 extra-inning win over the Dodgers.

    Adames lined a double to center field in the first inning, marking his second two-bagger in his last four games. He's batting .286 with a home run and a 2:3 BB:K across 16 plate appearances during that span. In 49 outings since the All-Star break, Adames is slashing .247/.340/.544 with 34 runs scored, 33 RBI, 16 home runs, six doubles and five stolen bases in 212 plate appearances.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Officially put on IL

    Winn (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday.

    Winn was originally slated to start Friday's series opener against Milwaukee, but he was scratched before the start of the contest. The Cardinals subsequently decided to rule him out for the season since he hasn't recovered as well as hoped from a torn meniscus in his right knee. With Winn officially landing on the IL on Saturday, his big-league roster spot was filled by infielder Jose Fermin.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Homers in loss

    Perdomo went 1-for-2 with a walk, a home run, two RBI and an additional run scored in Friday's 9-8 loss to the Twins.

    Perdomo contributed to an Arizona comeback, which eventually failed, with a two-run home run in the seventh inning. He homered for a second straight game and has six over the last 19 contests. The shortstop is having a breakout season with 19 homers and 95 RBI through 147 games.

  • Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Logs steal in third straight game

    De La Cruz went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Athletics.

    De La Cruz has swiped a bag in three straight games, and he's hit safely in five straight. Prior to this recent uptick in steals, he had logged just one theft on two attempts over a 25-game span from Aug. 11 to Sept. 8. The shortstop is up to 35 steals on the year, matching his rookie-year total but well behind the 67 he posted over 160 games in 2024. De La Cruz has added a .266/.333/.439 slash line, 19 home runs, 82 RBI and 97 runs scored across 147 contests in 2025.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Out for season

    The Cardinals will shut Winn (knee) down for the rest of the season, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    After being diagnosed with a meniscus tear in his right knee Wednesday, the initial expectation was that Winn would play through the injury and wait until the offseason to undergo surgery. However, manager Oliver Marmol said Friday that the 23-year-old infielder hasn't been recovering as well as the team had hoped, so the Cardinals will pull the plug on his season and use Thomas Saggese as their primary shortstop going forward. Winn will close the book on the 2025 campaign with a .253/.310/.363 slash line alongside nine homers, 51 RBI, 72 runs scored and nine steals across 537 plate appearances.
