Lopez (ankle/heel) was removed from Saturday's game against the Twins, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Per Wilson, Lopez tweaked his left ankle/heel while trying to beat out a bunt at the top of the third inning, and he initially stayed in defensively before being replaced by Cody Freeman in the fourth. The Rangers should have an update on Lopez's status for Sunday's game once the veteran infielder undergoes more tests.

Meidroth (hamstring) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

Meidroth will get another day off to recover from a hamstring issue that's been bothering him as the White Sox aim to get him as healthy as possible for the postseason. Sam Antonacci will start at second base as a result, opening up left field for Randal Grichuk.

Torres isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Pittsburgh.

Torres will miss a third straight start Saturday as the Tigers continue to limit his reps before he enters free agency this winter. His absence will allow Eduardo Valencia to serve as the designated hitter while batting fourth.

Keaschall went 4-for-5 with a double, a triple, three RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 10-2 win over the Rangers.

Keaschall spearheaded Minnesota's offensive explosion against Jacob deGrom. His two-run triple capped the biggest portion of the Twins' six-run second inning, and he subsequently scored on a wild pitch before adding an RBI double in the fourth. Keaschall singled in the sixth and later scored on Kody Clemens' two-run homer, leaving him a home run shy of the cycle. It was the second four-hit performance of his career, with his first coming Sept. 4, 2025. Keaschall is ending the regular season on a strong note, as he's hitting .305 with an .822 OPS across 21 games since the beginning of September.

Arroyo went 2-for-4 with one RBI and one stolen base in Friday's 7-5 loss to the Angels.

Arroyo has hit safely in just five of his 13 games in the majors, but three of those instances have included multiple hits. The rookie is batting .310 with an .883 OPS, one home run, two steals, four RBI, four runs scored and two doubles over 35 plate appearances. Consistency is still a work in progress, but Arroyo is poised to compete for an everyday job in the not-too-distant future.

Moore went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 7-5 win over the Mariners.

Moore has gone 7-for-23 (.304) with eight RBI over his last seven games. The infielder has also struck out nine times in that span, but he has turned things around after a slump in mid-September. For the season, he's hitting just .186 with a .516 OPS, two homers, 18 RBI, four runs scored, four doubles, one triple and one stolen base over 139 plate appearances. With a 33.8 percent strikeout rate in the majors this year, Moore has failed to demonstrate a more patient approach at the plate, which has kept his overall offense limited.

Meidroth is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies due to left hamstring discomfort, James Fegan of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Manager Will Venable downplayed the issue, saying that the 25-year-old is available off the bench. However, Meidroth is reportedly playing through a variety of injuries, and with Chicago now locked into the playoffs, it wouldn't be surprising to see him receive additional rest over the final weekend of the regular season.

Meidroth is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies.

Meidroth has been running hot lately, collecting multiple hits in each of his last three games and slashing .385/.429/.615 over his last 10 games. However, he will get a breather Friday as the White Sox go with Sam Antonacci at second base and Randal Grichuk in left field against right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano.

Torres is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Pirates.

It's the second game in a row and the ninth time this month that Torres has been absent from the lineup. The 29-year-old is an impending free agent and the Tigers have been eliminated from postseason contention, so Torres could continue to see limited reps in the final weekend of the regular season. Detroit has Hao-Yu Lee at second base and Eduardo Valencia at designated hitter Friday.

Chisholm is not in the lineup for the first game of Friday's doubleheader versus the Orioles.

Chisholm will rest up during the first game before likely returning to the Yankees' lineup during the nightcap. It will be Jose Caballero handling second base and batting ninth during Friday's matinee.
