Bichette went 4-for-4 in Saturday's 10-0 win over Boston.

Bichette has notched multiple hits in seven of his last 10 games, though he has tallied only four RBI during that span. The shortstop has recorded an incredible .423 average and .699 slugging percentage over 123 at-bats since the start of September.

Bogaerts is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Bogaerts is 2-for-24 over his past seven games and will take a seat for Sunday's contest. Yu Chang will take over at shortstop and bat seventh for Boston in the series finale.

Baez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Baez started the past 12 games and will receive a day off after he posted a .245/.275/.449 slash line with three home runs and seven RBI during that stretch. Ryan Kreidler will start at shortstop and bat ninth in the series finale.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Saturday's victory over the Mets.

Swanson's two-run shot came in the fifth inning and sent Ronald Acuna home. Swanson now has 24 homers this season and two in as many games. He has gone 10-for-38 (.263) in his last eight games, but he has also struck out 11 times during that span. He is now slashing .277/.328/.444 on the season.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a pair of runs scored in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Rockies.

Turner logged multiple hits for the third time in five games, and he's added a pair of steals in that span. The shortstop is now 27-for-30 in steal attempts this season, and he's swiped five bags since the start of September. He's slashing .299/.344/.467 with 20 home runs, 97 RBI and 100 runs scored through 156 contests this year.

Soto went 3-for-3 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.

Soto was part of the Angels' rally for the lead in the seventh inning, knocking a game-tying RBI double and scoring the go-ahead run on a fielder's choice. This was his sixth multi-hit effort in his last eight games, with five of his 13 hits in that span going for extra bases. The infielder is now batting .381 with a home run, a triple, four doubles, seven RBI, six runs scored and a stolen base through his first 14 major-league contests. Soto's hot hitting should help protect him from losing playing time to David Fletcher, who returned from a hand injury Thursday.

Wendle will sit Saturday against Milwaukee, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Wendle returned from a hamstring injury Thursday and started a pair of games, going 1-for-4 in both. He'll sit as the Marlins go with eight right-handed bats against lefty Aaron Ashby.

Tovar is on the bench for the second time in the last four games after he went 1-for-8 with a double over the last two matchups. Jose Iglesias will start at shortstop and bat second.

Edman went 0-for-3 during Friday's win over Pittsburgh, and he'll retreat to the bench for the second time in the last three games. Paul DeJong is starting at shortstop and batting ninth.

Cruz isn't starting Saturday against the Cardinals.

Cruz has been productive at the plate recently, hitting .455 with two doubles, five runs, two RBI, a stolen base, two walks and three strikeouts over the last five games. He'll get a breather while Kevin Newman starts at shortstop and bats fifth.
