Nick Yorke 2B | PIT
Pirates' Nick Yorke: Goes deep in win
Yorke went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Athletics.
Yorke got the Pirates on the board with his first home run since making his season debut Sept. 2. The 23-year-old also notched his first multi-hit game Saturday and has now hit safely in three straight contests. For the year, he's gone 10-for-46 with three extra-base hits, six RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base across 48 major-league plate appearances.

Tim Tawa 2B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Riding pine Saturday
Tawa isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.
The D-backs will keep Tawa on the bench Saturday after he went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Friday's series opener. His absence will allow Ildemaro Vargas to start at first base and bat eighth.

Brendan Rodgers 2B | HOU
Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Ruled out for season
Manager Joe Espada said Saturday that Rodgers (back/concussion) won't play again this season, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Rodgers initially landed on the injured list in June due to an oblique strain, but his time on the shelf has since been extended by a concussion, a nasal fracture and, most recently, back inflammation. With slightly more than a week left in the regular season, the 29-year-old will now shift his focus to getting ready for the start of the 2026 campaign. He's also due to become a free agent this winter.

Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA
Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Returning to action Saturday
Edwards (wrist) will start at second base and bat third Saturday against the Rangers.
Edwards missed six straight starts while nursing a wrist injury, though he was able to go 2-for-3 with an RBI off the bench Friday. Now fully recovered, he'll return to the starting nine and aim to end the season on a high note after slashing .243/.317/.324 across 41 plate appearances to begin September.

Jonathan India 2B | KC
Royals' Jonathan India: Losing work to Massey
India isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.
Saturday marks the fourth consecutive game that will begin with Michael Massey at the keystone and India on the bench. India has still appeared in two of the Royals' last three contests, though it seems his time as the regular second baseman in Kansas City has come to an end.

Zack Gelof 2B | ATH
Athletics' Zack Gelof: Officially placed on IL
Gelof was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a dislocated left shoulder.
It was already reported that Gelof was done for the season after suffering the injury in Friday's game against the Pirates. Max Muncy (hand) was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move and should play regularly in place of Gelof down the stretch.

Christian Moore 2B | LAA
Angels' Christian Moore: Goes deep Friday
Moore went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to Colorado.
Moore put the Angels on the board with a two-run homer that tied the score 2-2 in the second inning. The rookie second baseman has been flashing his power of late, belting three homers in six games since being called back up to the big leagues Sept. 13. His other two hits during that span have been doubles, though he's also struck out nine times in 20 plate appearances.

Luis Garcia 2B | WAS
Nationals' Luis Garcia: Absent from lineup
Garcia isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.
After going 0-for-4 in Friday's series opener, Garcia will step out of the starting nine Saturday while Nasim Nunez starts at second base and bats ninth.

Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY
Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Reaches 30-30 mark
Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to Baltimore.
Chisholm accounted for the Yankees' only runs in the game with his homer to right-center field in the seventh inning. The long ball was his 30th of the campaign (a career high) and, paired with his 30 thefts, put him in rarified air as just the third Yankees player with a 30-30 season (Bobby Bonds and Alfonso Soriano are the others). Juan Soto of the Mets is the only other MLB player to reach the 30-30 mark so far this season.

Marcus Semien 2B | NYM
Rangers' Marcus Semien: More baseball activity
Semien (foot) took live batting practice and did some running Friday, MLB.com reports.
Semien ramped up his activity this week and is hoping to get on the field with the limited time left in the regular season. The Rangers have lost five consecutive games and sit five games back of the final wild-card spot with eight left to play. Ultimately, whether Semien returns to the active roster may depend on the team's slim playoff hopes.
