Henderson went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a triple in Monday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jays.

Henderson rocketed a solo homer in the sixth inning as part of a three-hit effort. The shortstop is slashing .254/.342/.418 with two homers, two RBI and six runs across 18 September games. It's been an overall disappointing campaign for the 25-year-old, as he's hitting .227/.310/.408 with 24 homers, 59 RBI, 88 runs and 10 stolen bases in 155 contests.

Baez went 1-for-2 with a walk and a two-run home run in Monday's 9-2 win over the Nationals.

Baez hit just his third home run of the season and first since April 24 in the fourth inning of Monday's win. The veteran missed about three months of action between late April and late July due to an ankle sprain, and then saw his role reduced later in the year as the Tigers turned their attention toward younger players. Baez is under contract in Detroit for one more year in 2027, but at this point, he looks like a high-paid backup to youngsters such as Kevin McGonigle, Max Clark and Hao-Yu Lee.

Adames (elbow) intends to take batting practice and participate in fielding work Monday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The Giants have been eliminated from postseason contention, but it doesn't appear as though Adames, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Aug. 24 due to a left elbow sprain, has been shut down for the season just yet. Following Monday's matchup, San Francisco will have five games remaining, so it's possible the star shortstop will return before the end of the campaign in an effort to end the year on a high note. However, it's not clear if the club would be willing to activate Adames with nothing left to play for.

McGonigle is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

McGonigle will receive a rare day of rest after starting each of the previous 14 contests for the Tigers. Detroit will slot in Hao-Yu Lee at third base and John Peck at shortstop in Monday's series opener.

Pratt went 2-for-3 with a walk, two RBI and two stolen bases in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Orioles.

Pratt has gone 11-for-27 (.407) over his last eight games, adding four steals in that stretch. The shortstop is up to 17 thefts on 20 attempts this year as he provides good speed from the lower third of the order. He's batting .282 with a .721 OPS, three home runs, 33 RBI, 33 runs scored, six doubles and two triples through 69 contests.

Lombard went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Lombard has three multi-hit efforts over his last six games, and he's added two homers in that span. His blast Sunday put the Yankees ahead as part of a four-run third inning. Lombard is batting .235 with a .676 OPS, five homers, 17 RBI, 20 runs scored, three doubles, one triple and two stolen bases over his first 37 games in the majors.

Bogaerts went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Marlins.

Bogaerts is batting .317 (19-for-60) over 17 contests in September, adding six extra-base hits and four steals. The shortstop has a career-high 22 steals on 23 attempts this season, as speed has been a larger part of his game during his four years with the Padres. Things haven't gone as well for the rest of his offensive profile, as he's batting .229 with a .667 OPS, 12 home runs, 56 RBI, 65 runs scored, 18 doubles and a triple over 148 games this season.

Story went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Rays.

Story provided the club's only offense with a solo home run in the ninth inning. The veteran shortstop has now hit safely in 11 straight games, and he's batting .338 overall in 19 games since returning from the injured list Aug. 30. On the year, he's slashing .247/.278/.368 with five homers, 29 RBI, 24 runs scored and five steals across 252 plate appearances.

Swanson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

The veteran shortstop started the first two games of the series after being reinstated from the injured list Friday, so this is likely just a rest day for him after he went 3-for-7 with a solo homer in those contests. Nico Hoerner is taking Swanson's place at shortstop, which opens up the keystone for Pedro Ramirez.

Winn is absent from the lineup for Sunday's matchup against Washington.

Winn will ride the pine for Sunday's series finale after going a combined 1-for-7 through the first two games against the Nationals. Thomas Saggese will play shortstop and bat sixth for the Cardinals.
