Masyn Winn SS | STL
Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Officially put on IL
Winn (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday.
Winn was originally slated to start Friday's series opener against Milwaukee, but he was scratched before the start of the contest. The Cardinals subsequently decided to rule him out for the season since he hasn't recovered as well as hoped from a torn meniscus in his right knee. With Winn officially landing on the IL on Saturday, his big-league roster spot was filled by infielder Jose Fermin.

Gabriel Arias SS | CLE
Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Double, run in return
Arias went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 4-0 win over the White Sox.
Arias doubled and scored the Guardians' third run. He returned from a three-game absence due to inflammation in his right wrist and was back at shortstop. Arias may have his job back, but he hasn't provided lot of offense, slashing .164/.215/.230 with three RBI over the last 20 games.

Geraldo Perdomo SS | ARI
Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Homers in loss
Perdomo went 1-for-2 with a walk, a home run, two RBI and an additional run scored in Friday's 9-8 loss to the Twins.
Perdomo contributed to an Arizona comeback, which eventually failed, with a two-run home run in the seventh inning. He homered for a second straight game and has six over the last 19 contests. The shortstop is having a breakout season with 19 homers and 95 RBI through 147 games.

Elly De La Cruz SS | CIN
Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Logs steal in third straight game
De La Cruz went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Athletics.
De La Cruz has swiped a bag in three straight games, and he's hit safely in five straight. Prior to this recent uptick in steals, he had logged just one theft on two attempts over a 25-game span from Aug. 11 to Sept. 8. The shortstop is up to 35 steals on the year, matching his rookie-year total but well behind the 67 he posted over 160 games in 2024. De La Cruz has added a .266/.333/.439 slash line, 19 home runs, 82 RBI and 97 runs scored across 147 contests in 2025.

Masyn Winn SS | STL
Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Out for season
The Cardinals will shut Winn (knee) down for the rest of the season, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
After being diagnosed with a meniscus tear in his right knee Wednesday, the initial expectation was that Winn would play through the injury and wait until the offseason to undergo surgery. However, manager Oliver Marmol said Friday that the 23-year-old infielder hasn't been recovering as well as the team had hoped, so the Cardinals will pull the plug on his season and use Thomas Saggese as their primary shortstop going forward. Winn will close the book on the 2025 campaign with a .253/.310/.363 slash line alongside nine homers, 51 RBI, 72 runs scored and nine steals across 537 plate appearances.

Ryan Ritter SS | COL
Rockies' Ryan Ritter: Sitting fourth straight
Ritter isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against San Diego.
Friday will mark the fourth straight start Ritter has missed while he continues to battle an undisclosed issue. His absence will give Orlando Arcia a start at second base against southpaw JP Sears.

Zachary Neto SS | LAA
Angels' Zach Neto: Out of Friday's lineup
Neto (hand) isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Neto seemed to have trouble with his hand after taking a swing Thursday, so the Angels will sit him down Friday as a precaution. Oswald Peraza will pick up a start at shortstop as a result, opening up first base for Logan Davidson.

Javier Baez SS | DET
Tigers' Javier Baez: Exits with injury
Baez was removed from Friday's game against the Marlins after fouling a ball off his head, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
An awkward swing from Baez in the second inning resulted in the ball deflecting off his forehead, immediately prompting his removal from the game. The Tigers will almost certainly evaluate the 32-year-old for a concussion; meanwhile, Trey Sweeney will take over as Detroit's shortstop.

Masyn Winn SS | STL
Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Scratched Friday
Winn (knee) was scratched from the lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Brewers, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Winn was initially due to make his return to the lineup Friday after sitting out three games due to a meniscus tear that he plans to play through. Instead, he'll take another day off while Thomas Saggese starts at shortstop.
