Edwards left Saturday's game against the Padres in the seventh inning with left thumb discomfort, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Edwards was checked out by a trainer after a foul ball during his plate appearance in the top of the seventh, and while he stayed in the game initially, the second baseman was replaced on defense the next half-inning. He just recently returned from a left thumb sprain, and De Nicola speculates Edwards might have aggravated that injury.

Clemens is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.

The Twins will load the lineup with mostly right-handed bats and switch hitters to counter lefty Reid Detmers, with Victor Caratini starting at first base and Royce Lewis at the keystone. Clemens leads the team with 26 homers this season, but his .689 OPS against southpaw pitching is more than 100 points below his mark against righties (.797).

Moore isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Moore will take a seat Saturday after going 1-for-3 with a strikeout during Friday's contest. His absence will move Vaughn Grissom to second base and Moises Ballesteros to first, allowing Tyler Heineman to start at catcher.

Clement isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers.

Clement will take a day to collect himself after going just 1-for-17 at the plate over his last six games. Josh Smith will move to second base to cover for Clement, opening up left field for Myles Straw.

Turang isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Baltimore.

The Brewers will load their lineup with mostly right-handed bats Saturday against lefty starter Trevor Rogers, so the lefty-swinging Turang will move to the bench to begin the game.

Norby went 3-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored Friday against the Mariners.

Norby continues to hit the ball well, as Friday's performance extended his hitting streak to six games. In that span, he's gone 11-for-25 with four doubles, four RBI, two stolen bases and four runs scored. Norby is making the case to stick with the Rockies or another big-league club in 2027 by maintaining a .309 average with 16 RBI and 18 runs scored across 33 games since joining Colorado.

Kuroda-Grauer (groin) went 0-for-3 in a rehab game with Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

Kuroda-Grauer started at designated hitter and went hitless, but his return to game action for the first time since July 20 was a positive development after he underwent surgery for a ruptured testicle. He likely won't return to the Athletics' active roster this season, though the possibility hasn't been fully ruled out, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. In 16 games at the big-league level, Kuroda-Grauer impressed with a .417/.435/.583 slash line, a homer, four RBI and eight runs scored.

Bazzana went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 5-3 win over the Athletics.

Bazzana's fifth-inning homer turned out to be the game-winning hit, as the Guardians erased an early 3-0 deficit. After a midseason slump, the rookie is enjoying a bounceback September. The homer was his sixth during the month, and he's slashing .390/.479/.902 over the last 12 contests.

Lee went 4-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 11-8 win over the White Sox.

Lee fueled a Tigers comeback, smacking an RBI double in the sixth inning before tying the game with a two-run shot in the eighth. It was the 23-year-old's first career four-hit effort, and he's now tallied six extra-base hits and eight RBI over his past six contests. On the year, he's slashing .264/.320/.432 with 10 homers, 42 RBI, 38 runs scored and two steals across 326 plate appearances.

The Giants placed Furman on the 10-day injured list Friday due to a right oblique strain, retroactive to Wednesday.

Furman will be eligible to return from the IL for San Francisco's final two regular-season games, but with the Giants out of the race for a wild-card spot, they likely won't be in a rush to bring him back. Victor Bericoto (knee) was activated from the injured list to take Furman's place on the 28-man roster.
