  • Mookie Betts SS | LAD

    Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Reaches 20-homer mark

    Betts went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-3 win over the Giants.

    Betts stalled out with a month-long power drought from July 6 to Aug. 6, but he was able to turn things around in a big way. He reached the 20-homer mark Friday after missing that plateau last year. He's smacked six long balls and supplied 19 RBI over his last 15 contests, a span in which he's hitting a stellar .339 (21-for-62). Overall, Betts has a .260/.328/.413 slash line with 79 RBI, 93 runs scored, 22 doubles, two triples and eight stolen bases over 143 games.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Set for Monday return

    Bogaerts' (foot) on-field workout Friday was rained out, and he is now expected to rejoin the Padres on Monday for the start of a three-game series against Milwaukee, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Bogaerts was on track to return this weekend, but Friday's rainout delayed his progression, and his return date has been pushed back to Monday. The shortstop has been a full participant in baseball activities but is completing a running progression.

  • Braves' Jonathan Ornelas: Booted off 40-man roster

    Atlanta designated Ornelas for assignment Friday.

    The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Jhancarlos Lara. It's the second time Ornelas has been designated for assignment this season, as the Rangers booted him off their 40-man roster in May before trading him to Atlanta. He's spent most of the 2025 campaign at the Triple-A level, where he's slashed only .196/.295/.303 in 115 contests.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Mixed results in loss

    Story went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Athletics.

    Story continued to show a productive September bat, logging a fourth consecutive multi-hit effort and upping his OPS to 1.023 for the month. Unfortunately for the Red Sox, the normally sure-handed defender committed two errors that contributed to two unearned runs. The home run gave him 25 for the season to go along with 93 RBI and 31 steals.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Logs steal in loss

    Adames went 0-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Dodgers.

    Adames has gone cold at the plate, going 0-for-13 with four walks and six strikeouts over the first four games of the Giants' current road trip. However, the veteran shortstop has logged three steals over his last 11 games and is up to 11 thefts on 14 attempts this season. Adames has added a .226/.318/.420 slash line with 28 home runs, 82 RBI, 88 runs scored, 20 doubles and two triples through 151 contests.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Six-game hitting streak

    Pena went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and two runs scored Wednesday against the Rangers.

    Pena had an excellent series against the Rangers, going 7-for-11 with seven runs scored, two RBI and two doubles across three games. He also has a six-game hitting streak, solidifying his breakout season. Pena has maintained an .838 OPS across 485 plate appearances, with his previous career high being .715.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Takes easy swings

    Texas manager Bruce Bochy said that Seager (abdomen) took light swings Tuesday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    Seager, who underwent an appendectomy in late August, rejoined his teammates for their current series in Houston and is doing some limited activity. Bochy added the shortstop has done some light rotation work and emphasized the word "light." The Rangers hope Seager can get back on the field and help the team's chase for the playoffs. Texas, which has lost four straight and sits 4.5 games back of a wild-card spot with just nine to play, may be out of contention by the time Seager is ready to contribute.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Exiting lineup Wednesday

    Volpe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

    Volpe was held out of the lineup for six straight games after receiving a cortisone injection to treat a partial labrum tear in his left shoulder last week, but the 24-year-old made his return to the lineup Tuesday. He delivered an encouraging effort in his first start in a week, having a clean day in the field while going 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, an RBI and two runs in the Yankees' 10-9 win. Despite Volpe's strong game, manager Aaron Boone is likely to take a day-by-day approach at the shortstop position, so Volpe could become part of a timeshare with Jose Caballero while the season winds down. Caballero will get the nod at shortstop in Wednesday's series finale.

  • Joseph Ortiz SS | MIL

    Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Sitting down Wednesday

    Ortiz isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    Ortiz will receive a day off Wednesday after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Tuesday's series opener. Andruw Monasterio will replace him at shortstop and bat ninth.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Swipes three bags in win

    Henderson went 2-for-5 with a run scored and three stolen bases in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the White Sox.

    It's the first career three-steal game for Henderson, who's 26-for-30 in stolen-base attempts this season. The shortstop has at least one hit in four of his last five games, going 8-for-20 (.400) in that span. Overall, Henderson's slashing .274/.348/.440 with 16 homers, 64 RBI and 83 runs scored across 609 plate appearances this year.
