Brenton Doyle CF | CHW
White Sox's Brenton Doyle: Notches steal in win
Doyle went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Tigers.
Doyle has gone 5-for-11 over his last three games and has benefited from the White Sox facing three straight southpaws. He's been mostly limited to a short-side platoon role since he was flipped from Colorado to Chicago at the trade deadline. Doyle is batting .226 with a .590 OPS, three home runs, 12 RBI, 28 runs scored, six doubles, one triple and 14 steals over 79 contests between the two clubs this season.

Jake Meyers CF | HOU
Astros' Jake Meyers: Done for year with knee injury
Meyers suffered a season-ending left kneecap injury last week with Triple-A Sugar Land, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Meyers fouled a ball off his left kneecap Sept. 11 and was placed on the 7-day injured list the following day. After appearing in 100-plus regular-season games with the Astros the previous three years, Meyers spent the 2026 season split between the big leagues and minors. He slashed just .213/.268/.326 with three home runs, 11 RBI, 15 runs scored, one stolen base and a 10:31 BB:K across 153 plate appearances for Houston. Meyers didn't fare much better at Triple-A, posting a .231 average and .639 OPS in 143 trips to the plate.

Larnach (wrist) is not in the lineup Thursday against the Angels.

Kyle Tucker RF | LAD
Dodgers' Kyle Tucker: Powers Dodgers in win
Tucker went 4-for-5 with a two-run homer, two doubles, three total RBI and an additional run scored in Thursday's 8-2 win over the Reds.
Tucker got the Dodgers started early with a two-run shot off Brady Singer in the first inning for his 16th homer this season and his first of three extra-base hits in the victory. While it's been a tough year overall for Tucker, the outfielder seems to have turned a corner down the stretch -- he's now 12-for-29 (.414) with four homers and eight extra-base hits in his last eight games. Tucker has boosted his slash line to .232/.331/.387 across 593 plate appearances with 69 RBI, 85 runs scored and 11 stolen bases.

Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela: Working out at Worcester
Rafaela (quadriceps) is with Triple-A Worcester on Thursday and will do some hitting off their Trajekt machine, Tommy Cassell of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette reports.
It's unclear what the next steps for Rafaela will be, but he could play in some rehab games for Worcester before rejoining Boston's active roster. The center fielder has not played in more than two weeks as he works his way back from a right quadriceps strain.

Enrique Bradfield OF | BAL
Orioles' Enrique Bradfield: Nursing injury at Triple-A
Bradfield will be held out of the lineup at Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday due to right adductor tightness, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
He's being considered day-to-day, but at this stage of the season there's a good chance the injury ends Bradfield's season. If that's the case, he'll finish with a .265/.350/.353 batting line, three home runs and 33 stolen bases over 85 games with Norfolk.

Cedric Mullins CF | TB
Rays' Cedric Mullins: Idle against left-hander
Mullins is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
With lefty Jeffrey Springs toeing the rubber for the Athletics, the left-handed-hitting Mullins will take a seat for the series finale. Jonny DeLuca will replace Mullins in center field and will bat fifth.

Drew Gilbert CF | SF
Giants' Drew Gilbert: Cracks two-run shot in win
Gilbert went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Cardinals.
Gilbert pinch hit in the 10th inning and delivered as the leadoff hitter, launching a two-run homer to center field to give San Francisco a 6-4 lead. The 25-year-old outfielder has appeared in each of the Giants' last seven games, batting .286 with five runs scored, four RBI, two home runs and a stolen base in 16 plate appearances during that span. He figures to continue seeing regular opportunities for the injury-riddled Giants, who have already been eliminated from playoff contention.
