  • Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Collects three hits Wednesday

    Freeman went 3-for-5 with a run in Wednesday's loss to Milwaukee.

    Freeman recorded his fourth multi-hit game over his past seven contests, a span in which he's batting .345 with a homer, four RBI and a stolen base. The star first baseman has boosted his season batting average up to .291 as he attempts to finish with a .300 mark for the fifth consecutive campaign. Freeman has added 17 long balls, 71 RBI, 68 runs and six thefts over 113 games.

  • LaMonte Wade 1B | CHW

    Giants' LaMonte Wade: Getting day off vs. lefty

    Wade is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta.

    He'll retreat to the bench while Atlanta sends southpaw Max Fried to the bump for the series finale. Mark Canha will replace Wade at first base and bat second.

  • Tyler Black 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Tyler Black: Exiting starting nine Thursday

    Black is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Dodgers.

    After getting called up from Triple-A Nashville on Monday, Black sat out the Brewers' series opener versus the Dodgers but served as the designated hitter in both of the past two contests, going 0-for-6 with a walk and three strikeouts. He'll find himself on the bench for the finale, with Jake Bauers replacing Black in the lineup at DH. The Brewers could take a hot-hand approach to the DH spot while Christian Yelich (back) is on the shelf for the foreseeable future.

  • Matt Olson 1B | ATL

    Braves' Matt Olson: Goes deep in win

    Olson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and three runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Giants.

    Olson drew a walk in the opening frame before coming around to score on a Michael Harris grand slam. The first baseman would then add a home run of his own to lead off the third, giving him his fourth long ball this month and his 21st on the campaign. Olson has now hit safely in six consecutive games, tallying three homers, a double, eight RBI and six runs over that stretch. He's also driven in at least one run in three of his last five contests.

  • Jonah Bride 3B | TEX

    Marlins' Jonah Bride: Launches three-run homer

    Bride went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional RBI in a loss to the Phillies on Wednesday.

    Bride helped Miami get off to a promising start with a three-run homer in the first inning and added a sacrifice fly in the fourth, but the team's pitching couldn't contain Philadelphia's offense. Bride continues to be a bright spot for the Marlins, as he's notched at least one hit in 15 of 19 games since the All-Star break and is batting .308 (20-for-69) with five home runs and 17 RBI during that span. That has put him on the fantasy map, especially because he's moved into an everyday role since Josh Bell was traded to Arizona.

  • Pete Alonso 1B | BAL

    Mets' Pete Alonso: Perfect at plate Wednesday

    Alonso went 4-for-4 with a solo home run and a two-run double in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the Athletics.

    This was Alonso's first four-hit game this season. The first baseman has gone 17-for-61 (.279) with six homers and 15 RBI over his last 16 contests, though he also has an unsettling 27 strikeouts in that span. For the season, he's up to a .246/.329/.475 slash line, 26 homers, 68 RBI, 68 runs scored, 27 doubles and three stolen bases over 120 games.

  • Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Slugs three-run homer

    Cronenworth went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Wednesday's win over the Pirates.

    Cronenworth launched his 15th home run of the season, a three-run shot off Mitch Keller in the opening frame. Cronenworth now owns a six-game hitting streak and is batting .261 with two extra-base hits, seven RBI and three runs scored during that span. The 30-year-old is slashing .249/.318/.412 with 15 home runs, 70 RBI, 56 runs scored and two steals in 117 games this season.

  • Rhys Hoskins 1B | CLE

    Brewers' Rhys Hoskins: Sitting down Wednesday

    Hoskins isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Dodgers.

    Hoskins has been seeing the ball well since the beginning of August, slashing .300/.349/.500 with two homers and four RBI across 43 plate appearances. He'll get a breather against right-hander Walker Buehler while Jake Bauers covers first base and Tyler Black serves as Milwaukee's designated hitter.

  • Ty France 1B | SD

    Reds' Ty France: Getting evening off

    France is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

    France will get a respite for the series finale after he went 4-for-17 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run while starting each of the last five games at either first base or designated hitter. Spencer Steer will get the nod at first base Wednesday, while Jeimer Candelario serves as the Reds' DH.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | TEX

    Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Bowing out against southpaw

    Tellez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

    The lefty-hitting Tellez will exit the lineup while the Padres send southpaw Martin Perez to the bump Wednesday. Connor Joe will check in at first base for Tellez, who had started each of the last nine games while slashing .290/.313/.387 with two RBI and two runs.
