    Drake Baldwin went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and a walk Wednesday against the Dodgers.

    Baldwin’s second double was hit 105 mph and would have been a homer in four ballparks. It’s his first multi-RBI game since Aug. 5 and first with multiple extra-base hits since July 19. He had hit .229/.282/.302 in his previous 24 games.
Chicago to 'soak in' Cubs, White Sox in playoffs
With the Cubs and White Sox both clinching postseason births and Pete Crow-Armstrong joining the 40-40 club, it's been an exciting stretch for both fanbases and the city of Chicago.

    Josh Jung (hand) is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Twins.

    Jung is done for the remainder of the season, and is presumably headed to the injured list, after suffering a fractured right hand when he was hit by a pitch during Friday’s game against Minnesota. It’ll be Alejandro Osuna getting into the lineup at DH with Ezequiel Duran taking over at the hot corner.

    Freddie Freeman is not in the lineup for Saturday’s penultimate regular-season game against the Giants.

    Max Muncy is also taking a seat with lefty Matt Wilkinson serving as San Francisco’s opener. It appears to be a routine off day for Freeman, who missed time with a right knee issue a couple weeks ago. The 37-year-old veteran has already played 152 games this season, hitting .290/.364/.432 with 74 runs scored, 16 homers, 70 RBI and seven steals in 654 plate appearances. It’ll be Enrique Hernández and Miguel Rojas at the infield corners in this one.

    Max Scherzer will start Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Reds.

    Scherzer told the media that he will make a decision regarding his future in the offseason before adding that he wanted to pitch in front of his family in the Rogers Centre one final time in case he decides to hang up his spikes after 19 seasons in the big leagues. The 42-year-old Future Hall of Fame starter finds himself just a handful of strikeouts behind former Tigers teammate Justin Verlander on the all-time strikeout list heading into what could potentially be the final outing of his remarkable career.

    Osleivis Basabe (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Dodgers.

    Basabe is sitting out his straight game with left hamstring tightness. It’ll be Shay Whitcomb taking over at the hot corner in his place.

    Xavier Edwards (thumb) remains out of the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Braves.

    It’s a bit perplexing the Marlins basically elected to play with a shortened bench during the final week of the regular season. Edwards is sitting out his sixth consecutive game due to an ongoing left thumb issue on Saturday afternoon. It’ll be rookie Jared Serna drawing another start at second base in his place.

    Mets sent RHP Xzavion Curry outright to Triple-A Syracuse.

    Curry passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment earlier this week. The 28-year-old righty will become a minor league free agent in a couple weeks after posting a respectable 5.48 ERA across 21 1/3 innings in the majors this season.

    Pirates recalled LHP Hunter Barco from Triple-A Indianapolis.

    Barco joins Pittsburgh’s bullpen for their final two games of the season against the Tigers after posting an underwhelming 7.64 ERA over 17 2/3 innings over seven relief appearances earlier this season. The 25-year-old starter is one of the better pitching prospects in the Pirates’ system, but he hasn’t gotten an extended look at the highest level yet.

    Pirates optioned RHP Wilber Dotel to the Rookie-level Florida Complex League.

    Dotel returns to the minors after allowing two runs over three innings during Friday’s showdown against the Tigers. The 24-year-old concludes his rookie campaign with a respectable 4.46 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 41/16 K/BB ratio across 42 1/3 innings over 22 appearances. He’s shown some flashes of potential, but Dotel remains a long way off from sustained fantasy relevance.
