Henderson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 2-1 win against the Mets on Monday.

Henderson broke a 1-1 tie with a solo shot to right-center field in the eighth inning to produce the game-winning run. The long ball was his first in September and his 23rd overall this season. It's been mostly a struggle for the infielder in 2026, as his .710 OPS is on pace for a career-worst mark. Still, he's provided more power this year after sinking to just 17 home runs across 154 regular-season games in 2025.

Crawford went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Angels.

Crawford launched a solo shot to right field in the seventh inning to cut the Mariners' deficit to 6-4. The veteran infielder has now homered in two of the past three games after going 50 contests without a long ball. In 106 games this season, he's hitting .226/.345/.355 with 12 homers, 37 RBI, 46 runs and a stolen base.

Culpepper (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

Culpepper took a pitch off his back Saturday and will miss a second straight start with a shoulder contusion. Ryan Kreidler will make another start at shortstop and bat eighth against Yankees righty Will Warren.

The Astros are considering playing Correa (ankle) some at second base when he returns from the 60-day injured list, Ken Rosenthal of Foul Territory TV reports.

On days the club uses Yordan Alvarez in left field, it would open up designated hitter for Jose Altuve, second base for Correa and allow the Astros to keep both Christian Walker and Isaac Paredes in the lineup at the corner infield spots. Correa is expected to play one or two rehab games this week at Triple-A Sugar Land before being reinstated to the Astros' active roster. He's been out since early May due to ankle surgery.

Story went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Royals.

Story allowed the Red Sox to breathe easier with a two-run double in the eighth inning to increase the lead to 4-1. He's hit safely in 12 of 13 games since coming off the injured list, going 18-for-53 (.340) with seven doubles, six RBI and five runs scored.

Seager went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Diamondbacks.

Seager tallied a trio of hits, kicking things off with a two-run blast in the first inning. The veteran shortstop has been on a power surge in September, crushing five homers through 12 contests this month. On the year, Seager is slashing .231/.323/.437 with 18 homers, 43 RBI, 54 runs and a stolen base in 90 games.

Manager Joe Espada said Sunday that he hopes Correa (ankle) will play "a game or two" with Triple-A Sugar Land this week, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

It will be the final week of the Triple-A regular season, so the Astros are hoping to get Correa into some minor-league action just ahead of the finish line. The veteran infielder has been sidelined since early May due to ankle surgery and said at the start of September that he had been sprinting at 95 percent effort, and it appears he's continued to progress in his rehab program. Rejoining the AL West-leading Astros during the final week of the regular season next week appears plausible for Correa.

Neto went 1-for-4 with a walk, a solo homer and an additional run scored during the Angels' 6-5 loss to the Nationals on Sunday.

It was a scoreless affair through three innings, but Neto put the Angels on the board with a solo homer off Jake Irvin in the fourth frame. It was Neto's third long ball in his last five games and his 26th homer of the season, tying his career high that he set last year. He has a .760 OPS with 20 steals and 73 RBI across 644 plate appearances this season.

Culpepper (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians, Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com reports.

The 23-year-old Culpepper exited Saturday's contest after being hit in the shoulder by a 95 mph pitch and will miss at least one start due to the injury. Ryan Kreidler will fill in at shortstop Sunday for the Twins.

Lombard is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Lombard will take a seat Sunday after starting the previous eight games and going 3-for-27 (.111 average) with one double, one homer and five RBI during that span. Jose Caballero is starting at shortstop and batting ninth in the finale of the Subway Series.
