Adames went 2-for-4 with an RBI single, a walk and a run in a loss to the Blue Jays on Friday. He's 4-for-14 with three RBI and two runs in the four games since returning from an illness.

The rookie is closing out the season on a high note, as Friday's production pushed his September average to .325. He's now contributed three two-hit efforts in his last six contests, and his 25 hits and 13 walks have led to a .422 on-base percentage in September.

Reyes is not in the lineup against the Reds on Saturday.

Reyes will be withheld from the starting lineup for a second consecutive game as Adam Frazier gets another start in right field.

Bogaerts is out of the lineup versus the Yankees on Saturday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Manager Alex Cora decided to give Bogaerts another breather as the club looks ahead toward the postseason. Brock Holt will draw the start at shortstop for Saturday's matinee.

Anderson is out of the lineup for the second game of Friday's twin bill against the Twins, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Anderson will get rest of the day off after starting at shortstop and batting eighth in Game 1 of the doubleheader. Jose Rondon draws the start with Anderson on the bench.

Gordon remains on the bench Friday against Texas, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Gordon will sit for his third straight game. It's possible the second baseman is injured, though there have been no reports suggesting that's the case. Robinson Cano will remain the starter at second base.

Swanson (hand) hasn't resumed hitting but may progress to that step this weekend, and manager Brian Snitker hopes that the shortstop will be able to play in the NLDS, which begins Thursday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

It appears as though Swanson's hand is steadily improving during his rehab back in Atlanta, though this weekend will likely determine whether he'll be ready to return for the start of the postseason. The shortstop went down with a partially torn ligament in his left hand during Tuesday's game versus the Mets.

Diaz is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

Diaz sits for the first time in a week after his 0-for-3 showing Wednesday ended a five-game hitting streak. Richard Urena will start at shortstop.

Reyes is out of Friday's starting lineup versus Cincinnati.

Reyes will head to the bench for a day off following nine starts in the previous 10 games. During that span, he's gone 10-for-35 (.286 average) with two home runs and five RBI. Adam Frazier will draw a start in right field while Kevin Kramer gets the nod at second base.

Mondesi went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, two runs scored and two stolen bases Thursday against the Indians.

Mondesi illustrated his ability to both steal bases and hit for power Thursday night, smacking his 13th home run of the season in the third inning against Josh Tomlin. He also stole both of his bases in the 10th inning, bringing his season total to 30. The 23-year-old has excelled with regular playing time, hitting .284/.309/.504 across 273 plate appearances.

Story went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Phillies.

Story has produced elite offensive numbers in 2018, with a .291/.346/.562 slash line with 42 doubles, six triples, 105 RBI, 86 runs and 26 steals.
