McKinstry isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.

McKinstry will take a day to reset after going 0-for-16 across his last six games. His absence will allow Ben Malgeri to start in right field, batting seventh.

Peters (shoulder/rib) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.

Peters made an early exit from Friday's contest after injuring his left shoulder/rib by crashing into the wall, and he'll now take Saturday off to recover. Brenton Doyle will take over in center field and bat ninth.

Chourio went 2-for-5 with a walk, a three-run home run and two stolen bases in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Orioles.

The 22-year-old outfielder opened the scoring by taking Cade Povich deep in the second inning, his career-high 24th homer of the season and fourth in 16 September contests. On the month, he's produced an impressive .324/.362/.541 slash line with five steals, 13 RBI and 18 runs. Chourio needs one more SB to record his third straight 20-20 season to begin his career.

Greene went 1-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Friday's 11-8 win over the White Sox.

Greene extended his hitting streak to eight games with his 21st home run of the season. He's gone deep twice during the hitting streak while also delivering 10 RBI and a 1.095 OPS. Detroit has a slim chance of making the playoffs with a big surge during the last week of the regular season, and it appears that Greene is going to do his part to help carry the offensive load.

Happ went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Reds.

Happ tied the game for the Cubs in the third inning with his 24th home run of the year before Cincinnati surged ahead. The veteran outfielder hadn't gone deep since Aug. 25 and is batting just .212 with a .646 OPS in 20 games since then. Despite the slump, Happ should remain a lineup regular in the last week of the regular season as Chicago jockeys for playoff positioning.

Carroll batted seventh in Friday's game agaisnt the Yankees because of a recent slump, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

Carroll, who had a double and a two-run home run in a 9-2 loss to New York, entered the contest batting .147 (10-for-68) with a 32.4 strikeout percentage over the previous 19 games. "Corbin's grinding right now. We all know it," manager Torey Lovullo said."Just give him a chance to catch his breath down there, take a little pressure off of him." Carroll hadn't hit lower than fifth this season and never started a game below third in 2025. It's unclear how long Lovullo will keep Carroll this low in the order, but the Diamondbacks are a better team with him in the upper half.

Jenkins went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-0 win over the Angels.

Jenkins continued his strong series in Anaheim, taking Grayson Rodriguez deep in the seventh inning to extend Minnesota's lead to 3-0. The rookie has homered in consecutive games and is 6-for-8 with two long balls, three RBI and three runs scored over the first two contests of the series. Friday marked Jenkins' second consecutive three-hit performance, and the homer was his third through his first 53 big-league at-bats.

Acuna went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-2 win over the Astros.

Acuna gave Atlanta valuable insurance in the seventh inning, launching a two-run homer off AJ Blubaugh to extend the lead to 4-1 and bringing his season total to 19. The star outfielder later made an equally important defensive play, racing into shallow right field for a diving catch on Jose Altuve's potential hit to strand two runners and preserve Atlanta's two-run lead at the end of the eighth. Acuna has hit safely in six of his last seven games, batting .323 with a 1.041 OPS in that span.

Montez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-4 win over the Rockies.

Montez launched what proved to be a 426-foot game-winning homer in the top of the ninth inning. The 21-year-old has struck out in 15 of his 35 major-league plate appearances, but he's still hitting .250 with four homers and 10 RBI so far in his short stint with the Mariners.

McCarthy went 3-for-5 with a triple, two RBI, one run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Mariners.

McCarthy drove in a run on a single in the fourth inning before tying the game on an RBI triple in the sixth. It continued a strong September for the 29-year-old breakout, who owns a 1.031 OPS with nine extra-base hits, 12 RBI, 11 runs scored and five stolen bases through 16 games this month. On the season, he's slashing .298/.342/.490 with 15 homers, 82 RBI, 77 runs scored and 31 steals across 563 plate appearances.
