Blanco slashed .305/.385/.505 with four home runs and a 28.4 percent strikeout rate in 30 games for the Florida Complex League Pirates before a hamstring injury ended his season at the beginning of July, MLB Pipeline reports.

It's unlikely Blanco makes enough contact to turn into an everyday big leaguer, but he's a fun prospect to dream on because of his 6-foot-7, 243-pound frame and 70-grade raw power. Blanco struck out 37.6 percent of the time as an old-for-the-level 18-year-old in the Dominican Summer League last year and struck out a decent amount again this year as an older player in a rookie league. However, if he's able to maintain his conditioning while improving his hit tool next year in his full-season debut, Blanco's prodigious power would make him a sought after prospect in dynasty leagues.

Freeman went 3-for-5 with a double, two runs and a stolen base against Miami in Wednesday's 8-4 win.

Freeman extended his modest hitting streak to five games, though this was his first multi-hit performance during that span. While the star first baseman had a three-game streak of notching at least one RBI come to an end, he has now scored at least one run in four consecutive contests. On the season, Freeman is slashing .283/.381/.483 with 22 homers, 88 RBI, 81 runs and eight stolen bases over 609 plate appearances.

Wade went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Orioles.

Wade has been decent in September, going 11-for-41 (.268) with two extra-base hits, eight RBI and four runs scored over 13 games this month. His steal Wednesday was just his second theft of the year, matching his total from 2023. Overall, the first baseman has a .267/.390/.376 slash line with six home runs, 31 RBI, 42 runs scored and 15 doubles over 370 plate appearances in a strong-side platoon role.

Hoskins went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a double in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Phillies.

Hoskins had the only multi-hit effort for either team in the contest, which was his first such performance since Aug. 30. He's gone just 9-for-43 (.209) over 14 games in September, though three of his hits this month have left the yard. The first baseman's blast was his 25th this season, a milestone he's reached in his last five full-length seasons. He's still had some difficulty with contact, batting .212 over 122 games while adding 74 RBI, 53 runs scored and three stolen bases across 122 contests in 2024 after missing all of 2023 with a torn ACL.

Naylor went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs and an additional run in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-inning win against the Twins.

Naylor got to Minnesota starter Bailey Ober twice, touching up the right-hander for solo shots in the second and seventh frames. The power display ended a 13-game homerless drought for the first baseman and marked his third multi-homer performance of the campaign. Naylor is up 31 home runs and 105 RBI on the season, both of which are career highs.

Vaughn went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Angels.

The first baseman took Jack Kochanowicz deep in the fourth inning to get the White Sox on the board. The blast added to Vaughn's impressive September, and he's batting .345 (19-for-55) on the month with four homers and eight RBI in 14 games. It's been a roller coaster of a season for the 26-year-old, but he now sits one long ball short of his second straight 20-homer campaign.

Soderstrom went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Cubs.

He got the A's on the board in the fourth inning with a solo shot off Ethan Roberts. It was Soderstrom's first homer in four games since being activated from the IL, and his eighth of the year in 53 contests. With four hits in two games during this series at Wrigley Field, the 22-year-old has boosted his slash line on the season to .224/.304/.410.

Tellez isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

Tellez has gone 0-for-18 with five walks and five strikeouts over his last seven games, and he'll get a chance to collect himself while he sits down Wednesday. Jared Triolo will fill in as Pittsburgh's first baseman while Nick Yorke starts at third.

Gurriel will start at first base and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Gurriel will pick up his fourth consecutive start and looks to have settled in as Kansas City's primary option at first base. Since being acquired from Atlanta on Aug. 31, Gurriel has slashed .348/.414/.435 with five runs and four RBI through his first nine games with the Royals.

Gallo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Gallo will sit for the second time in the three-game series while the Mets send another southpaw (Jose Quintana) to the hill. Juan Yepez will replace Gallo at first base.
