  • 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.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Tallies two RBI

    Pena went 1-for-5 with two RBI on Saturday against Atlanta.

    Pena delivered a two-RBI double in the second inning to put the Astros up 3-0. It was his fourth double and fifth extra-base hit across 11 games in September. He's also driven in six, scored four runs and stolen a base in that span.

  • 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.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Hits 10th homer

    Crawford went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a double in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Angels.

    Crawford connected in the fourth inning for his 10th homer of the season, though this was his first since Aug. 3 versus the Rangers. The shortstop has four multi-hit efforts over his last seven games, going 9-for-25 (.360) in that span. For the season, he's at a .264/.353/.362 slash line with 51 RBI, 64 runs scored, eight stolen bases and 22 doubles across 145 contests.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Two hits, stolen base amidst slump

    Henderson went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-4 loss to Toronto.

    Henderson is still mired in quite the cold spell so far in September, batting .143 (5-for-35) with a lone RBI in his first 10 games of the month. The star shortstop has taken a step back this season following an outstanding 2024 regular season, when posted a career-best .893 OPS over 159 outings, but he still has a realistic shot at recording his second straight 20-homer, 20-steal campaign. Henderson is hitting .270 with 16 long balls, 62 RBI, 81 runs scored and 23 pilfers across 525 at-bats.

  • Denzer Guzman SS | LAA

    Angels' Denzer Guzman: Called up to majors

    The Angels selected Guzman's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.

    Guzman has played both shortstop and third base in the minors this season and has slashed .247/.343/.769 with 17 home runs, 74 RBI and 14 stolen bases across 129 games between Double-A and Triple-A. Zach Neto (hand) remains out of the Angels' lineup Saturday, so Guzman is starting at shortstop and batting seventh for what will be his MLB debut, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com. Los Angeles also promoted infielder Christian Moore from the minors Saturday while designating infielder Scott Kingery for assignment. Outfielder Matthew Lugo was also optioned to Salt Lake in a move that helped make room on the 26-man roster for Guzman and Moore.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Out again Saturday

    Neto (hand) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    The 24-year-old will grab a seat on the bench for the second day in a row after injuring his hand on a swing Thursday. The newly promoted Denzer Guzman will start at shortstop in Neto's place. Neto could be available off the bench later in the contest, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register.

  • 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.
