India went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Athletics.

India's fourth-inning blast off Mason Barnett opened the scoring, but it was all the Royals could produce. India had gone over a month without a homer, batting just .203 (13-for-64) over 21 contests between long balls while missing time due to a wrist injury in that span. He's now at a .234/.324/.347 slash line with nine homers, 45 RBI, 63 runs scored, 29 doubles and no stolen bases over 135 contests. India held a starting role for much of the season but has slipped into a timeshare with Michael Massey and Adam Frazier in September.

Hoerner went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 12-1 win over the Cardinals.

Hoerner popped his seventh home run of the season in the first inning, as he was one of four Chicago players to go deep. The speedy infielder isn't known for his power -- his career high in homers is only 10 -- and he appears likely to finish with a single-digit total for the third straight year. Hoerner is a great source of steals, however, as he has 29 of them this season in 35 attempts, and he's swiped 103 bags since the start of 2023.

Sosa went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Friday's 10-9 win over the Nationals.

Sosa fell a triple shy of the cycle and drove in runs on three separate occasions, including on a solo homer in the fourth inning. The 25-year-old has hit safely in four of his past five games, tallying three extra-base hits and five RBI in that span. For the season, he's slashing .263/.292/.433 with 22 home runs, 75 RBI, 55 runs scored and two steals across 536 plate appearances.

Garcia went 3-for-4 with three home runs and four RBI in Friday's 10-9 loss to the White Sox.

Garcia did his best to spark a comeback from an early seven-run deficit, slugging three home runs for the first time in his career. The effort was especially encouraging after the 25-year-old had gone just 3-for-32 since his last multi-hit game Sept. 10. On the season, he's slashing .255/.291/.417 with 16 homers, 66 RBI, 66 runs scored and 13 steals across 519 plate appearances.

Sosa went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-1 win over the Twins.

Sosa singled in the third inning before launching his career-high 11th home run in the fifth. The 29-year-old has been on fire since returning from the injured list Wednesday, going deep four times in three games. For the season, he's slashing .279/.311/.475 with 11 homers, 39 RBI, 30 runs scored and one steal across 258 plate appearances.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Edman is not in Friday's lineup against the Mariners due to ankle soreness, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Edman appeared to tweak his ankle on a diving catch attempt during Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, which prompted him to sit out Thursday's contest. Roberts relayed that Edman's ankle is "a little sore," and with the Dodgers clinching the NL West in Thursday's win over Arizona, Edman will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game for rest purposes. Edman will be joined by Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts and Max Muncy on the bench in Friday's series opener while Miguel Rojas starts at the keystone and bats sixth.

Edman is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Mariners on Friday.

Edman will be out of the starting lineup for a second consecutive game, though that presumably has more to do with the Dodgers capturing the NL West following their 8-0 win over the Diamondbacks on Thursday. He'll join Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts and Max Muncy on the bench while Miguel Rojas starts at second base and bats sixth.

Massey is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics.

Massey will start Friday's game on the bench even as the Royals go up against a right-hander (Mason Barnett). Jonathan India will step in at second base and bat seventh.

Holliday (knee) will lead off and play second base Friday against the Yankees, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Holliday was held out of the starting lineup in back-to-back games due to knee soreness, but he'll return to his regular spot at second base Friday. The standout 21-year-old underwent an MRI on Thursday, which confirmed he isn't dealing with any structural damage. Holliday has one hit and nine strikeouts in his last 28 at-bats.

Chisholm is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Orioles.

The left-handed-hitting Chisholm will get a breather as the Orioles send southpaw Trevor Rogers to the hill. Jose Caballero will get the start at second base and bat ninth for the Yankees.
