  • Braves' Johan Camargo: Not in Saturday's lineup

    Camargo is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

    Camargo will be held out Saturday after starting the last three games at first base. Rio Ruiz will man the hot corner in Camargo's place.

    Diamondbacks' Chris Owings: Won't be back for regular season

    Owings (finger) hopes to return to the DIamondbacks during their National League Divisional Series matchup, Jarrid Denney of MLB.com reports.

    Owings is eligible to return from the 60-day disabled list for the Diamondbacks' final series of the regular season against the Royals that begins Sept. 29, but he won't be an option for those games after his meeting Friday with hand specialist Dr. Don Sheridan revealed that the shortstop's fractured right middle finger hasn't healed completely. While the Diamondbacks won't benefit from the opportunity to assess Owings' health heading into the postseason by getting him a few regular-season games under his belt, he'll still be able to do some baseball activities while he waits for the finger to improve. Owings took batting practice in the cage, played catch and hit some underhand flips on the field prior to the Diamondbacks' game Friday against the Marlins.

  • Marlins' Dee Gordon: Swipes 56th base Friday

    Gordon went 3-for-6 with a double, a run scored, an RBI and his 56th stolen base of the year in Friday's 13-11 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    It's his fifth multi-hit performance in his last six games, and Gordon is now slashing a magnificent .373/.381/.506 in September with a homer, eight steals, six RBI and 13 runs in 19 games as he finishes the season on a high note.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Dodgers' Corey Seager: Returns to lineup Friday

    Seager (ankle) is back in the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    This comes as a surprise, because while X-rays on the ankle were negative, manager Dave Roberts just said Thursday that Seager would be out "at least" a couple more days. Regardless, Seager's penciled in to return, and will get a chance to improve upon his 1-for-9 career mark against Giants starter Jeff Samardzija.

  • Orlando Arcia SS | MIN

    Brewers' Orlando Arcia: Out again Friday

    Arcia is not in the lineup against the Cubs on Friday.

    Arcia will stay on the bench for the second straight contest as manager Craig Counsell elects to go with Eric Sogard at the shortstop position once more. The 23-year-old could enter the fray during the latter stages of Friday's game, much like he did Thursday night.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Nationals' Trea Turner: Resting Friday

    Turner is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.

    Most of the team's regulars are resting; Daniel Murphy, Ryan Zimmerman and Anthony Rendon are all on the bench as well. This figures to be Turner's final breather of the regular season. Turner hasn't really missed a beat since his return from a wrist injury last month, and perhaps most encouraging is the fact that he's slugging .553 in 22 games since his activation.

  • Orlando Arcia SS | MIN

    Brewers' Orlando Arcia: Not in Thursday's lineup

    Arcia is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs.

    Arcia will open on the bench for a second time in six games as manager Craig Counsell continues to give Eric Sogard starts around the infield. The 23-year-old has turned in a passable .271/.364/.354 line with seven RBI and a 9:7 K:BB through 18 games in September.

    Dodgers' Corey Seager: Will sit for several days

    Manager Dave Roberts said Seager (ankle) will be out of the lineup "at least [the] next couple of days," David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    It may be best to hope for a Monday return, at the earliest, for Seager, who fouled a ball off his right ankle Wednesday. X-rays thankfully came back negative, so the elite shortstop should return sometime this season. Of course, with the Dodgers close to clinching home-field advantage in the playoffs -- despite their recent swoon and the Nationals gaining ground -- they may not be in a rush if Seager doesn't feel right. Given his murky timetable, his fantasy owners should line up an alternative.

    Dodgers' Corey Seager: Takes seat Thursday

    Seager (ankle) is not in the Dodgers' lineup Thursday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

    The shortstop fouled a ball off his ankle Wednesday, and he stayed in the contest afterward. X-rays were negative, so perhaps this absence is merely precautionary and he'll be back in the next few days. Still, it wouldn't be surprising if the Dodgers rested him a bit more before the postseason, but the Nationals still have an outside shot at homefield advantage, so Los Angeles may want to wrap that up before making other plans. Meanwhile, Logan Forsythe takes his place at the six Thursday for his first start there since Sept. 2014.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Phillies' J.P. Crawford: Back in action Thursday

    Crawford is batting eighth and playing third base Thursday.

    Philadelphia hasn't played the 22-year-old every day but is mixing him in often at the hot corner -- at the expense of Maikel Franco -- to gauge its future around the infield. Though he holds a .352 OBP in his limited action (54 plate appearances), Crawford hasn't yet homered and plods along with a .261 batting average and a .391 slugging percentage. He will step in against Kenta Maeda.
