  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Awaiting MRI results

    Correa, who is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Reds, underwent an MRI on his left foot earlier in the day, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.comreports.

    The 28-year-old has played through plantar fasciitis in his left foot throughout the season, and the issue flared up during Monday's loss to Cincinnati. Bench coach Jayce Tingler said the team is approaching the injury as a day-to-day concern and noted that Correa has typically been able to return to action relatively quickly this season after aggravating the issue.

  • Jordan Lawlar LF | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: On bench Tuesday

    Lawlar is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Giants.

    Lawlar has gone 3-for-20 (.150) with zero extra-base hits and eight strikeouts in eight major-league games since being called up Sept. 7 from Triple-A Reno. It appears the talented 21-year-old infielder will be a part-time player for the Diamondbacks down the stretch.

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Out of lineup with foot issue

    Correa (foot) is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cincinnati.

    Correa had to be removed from Monday's loss to the Reds after aggravating the lingering plantar fasciitis in his left foot, so it's not surprising he's on the bench a day later. The veteran shortstop has dealt with a foot issue for much of the season and was forced to miss a couple of games last week. How much time Correa might miss this time around isn't clear, though at this stage, the Twins are labeling him day-to-day. Kyle Farmer is filling in at shortstop Tuesday.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Hitting well in September

    Pena went 1-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI on Monday against the Orioles.

    Pena delivered an RBI single in the sixth inning and later came around to score in the same frame, a continuation of his positive performance in September. He has yet to go deep but has hit .292 with three RBI and 13 runs scored across 16 games for the month. Overall, Pena has shown improved plate discipline as compared to his rookie season, though he's seen a disappointing dip in power -- highlighted by a drip in his ISO from .173 to .123.

  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Collects four hits

    Anderson went 4-for-5 with a run scored Monday against the Nationals.

    Anderson is in the midst of a five-game hitting streak, with his last two performances being multi-hit efforts. Despite a down year, he is closing the season well, as he's maintained a .333 average with eight runs scored and a stolen bases across 16 games in September. However, as has been the case, he's shown very little ability to hit for power, as he has only two extra-base hits -- both doubles -- in that same 16-game span.

  • Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Miguel Rojas: Smacks homer Monday

    Rojas went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 8-3 win over the Tigers.

    This was Rojas' second homer in his last three games, an unusual bit of power from the light-hitting shortstop. He's been steady at the plate in September, going 16-for-45 (.356) with four extra-base hits and six RBI over 14 contests. The 34-year-old is at a .239/.294/.331 slash line with five homers, 30 RBI, 47 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 115 games this season while routinely hitting at or near the bottom of the order.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Productive in win

    Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with a triple, a double, a walk, a stolen base and three runs scored in Monday's 11-9 win over the Rockies.

    Bogaerts didn't get a chance to go for the home run he needed for the cycle, but he showed off some impressive speed Monday. He stole home and hit his first triple of the season in the contest, which was his fifth multi-hit effort over his last six games. The shortstop is up to a .279/.348/.433 slash line with 18 home runs, 51 RBI, 75 runs scored, 17 steals and 29 doubles through 144 contests. He hit leadoff Monday with Ha-Seong Kim (abdomen) out of the lineup -- Bogaerts has primarily hit fifth over the last month.

  • Vaughn Grissom 1B | LAA

    Braves' Vaughn Grissom: Returns from MiLB IL

    Grissom (hip) was activated from the 7-day injured list Thursday, per the MiLB's transactions log.

    Grissom ended up on the injured list Sept. 11 due to a right hip injury, but it ended up being a short absence for the second baseman. He's slashing .332/.421/.505 with eight homers, 60 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 72 runs scored over 96 minor-league contests so far this year.

  • Rangers' Jonathan Ornelas: Returns to Triple-A

    Ornelas was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

    Ornelas collected one hit and struck out four times in seven at-bats since being promoted Sept. 9. He was sent down Monday along with Sam Huff to make room for Josh Jung (thumb) and Adolis Garcia (knee), who were both activated from the 10-day injured list.

  • Kyren Paris SS | LAA

    Angels' Kyren Paris: Placed on 60-day IL

    Paris was moved to the 60-day injured list Monday due to a ligament tear in his left thumb.

    Paris was brought up Friday from Triple-A Salt Lake to get some opportunities in the big leagues, but he was sent for further evaluation Monday after injuring his left thumb. This diagnosis will force him to miss the remainder of the 2023 campaign.
