  • Jonah Heim C | TEX

    Rangers' Jonah Heim: Sitting down Saturday

    Heim isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Guardians.

    Heim will grab a seat on the bench Saturday after collecting a base hit in each of his last two games. Kyle Higashioka will start behind the plate instead and bat fifth.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | NYM

    Rangers' Marcus Semien: Moves to 60-day IL

    The Rangers transferred Semien (foot) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

    Semien has already been ruled out for the 2025 season due to a fractured third metatarsal and a Lisfranc sprain in his left foot. His move to the 60-day IL will simply act as a way to clear space on the 40-man roster for Dom Hamel, who was claimed off waivers from the Orioles on Saturday.

  • Rangers' Dom Hamel: Claimed by Rangers

    The Rangers claimed Hamel off waivers from the Orioles on Saturday and optioned him to the Arizona Complex League.

    Hamel will join his third organization this month after having previously been waived by the Mets and Orioles. The 26-year-old righty tossed a scoreless inning against the Padres during his MLB debut Sept. 17 but finished the Triple-A season with a 5.32 ERA and 1.34 WHIP over 67.2 frames. Marcus Semien (foot) was transferred to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

  • Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: X-rays on forearm negative

    X-rays on Chisholm's left forearm came back negative following his removal from Saturday's game against the Orioles.

    Chisholm left Saturday's contest after getting hit by a pitch in the fifth inning. He's also slated to undergo a CT scan to confirm the results of his X-ray, but it seems he managed to escape the incident without any structural damage. The Yankees may decide to sideline the 27-year-old infielder for Sunday's series finale to ensure he's fully healthy for the postseason, which would create an opportunity for Jose Caballero to pick up a start in the infield.

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Exits after HBP

    Chisholm was removed from Saturday's game against the Orioles after getting hit on the forearm by a pitch, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

    Chisholm immediately made his way into the dugout after taking a 97-mph sinker off his left forearm. The Yankees will presumably take him in for imaging to determine whether he suffered a fracture and should provide more information on his status in the near future.

  • Jarren Duran CF | BOS

    Red Sox's Jarren Duran: Taking seat Saturday

    Duran isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

    The Red Sox will use Saturday as a chance to rest many of their starters after securing a trip to the postseason Friday, which means Duran will retreat to the bench while Masataka Yoshida starts in left field and Rob Refsnyder serves as the DH.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Getting Saturday off

    Story isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

    The Red Sox will give Story a breather Saturday after the team clinched a postseason berth with Friday's win. David Hamilton will pick up a start at shortstop as a result and bat leadoff.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | BOS

    Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Getting breather Saturday

    Bregman isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Detroit, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

    After clinching a postseason berth Friday, the Red Sox will give Bregman a chance to rest Saturday while Nate Eaton mans the hot corner.

  • Romy Gonzalez 2B | BOS

    Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Idle Saturday

    Gonzalez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

    Gonzalez will stay put in the dugout Saturday following the Red Sox's postseason-clinching victory Friday. Nick Sogard will fill in as Boston's second baseman and bat ninth.

  • Michael Taylor CF | CHW

    White Sox's Michael Taylor: Not starting Saturday

    Taylor isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Nationals.

    Taylor will step out of the starting nine for a second consecutive game after going 1-for-15 over his last eight contests. Brooks Baldwin, Derek Hill and Dominic Fletcher will form Chicago's outfield trio with Taylor on the bench.
