Kavadas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 10-1 win over the Dodgers.

Kavadas has gotten off to a slow start in his big-league career, hitting safely in just four of his first 13 games. He has two homers, one stolen base and four RBI so far, but he's also piled up 21 strikeouts. Kavadas looks to have settled into a platoon role at designated hitter, but that high strikeout rate could cost him playing time down the stretch even with the Angels in evaluation mode.

Lowe went 3-for-5 with one RBI and one run scored in Wednesday's 10-6 win over the Yankees.

Lowe has gone 11-for-30 (.367) over his last nine games, though he has just two extra-base hits and 10 strikeouts in that span. The first baseman hit just .211 in August, so it's good to see him find his swing again. Overall, he has a .258/.349/.375 slash line with 11 home runs, 51 RBI, 52 runs scored, 13 doubles and two stolen bases over 118 contests this season.

Walker is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

The 33-year-old returned from a five-week absence due to an oblique strain Tuesday and went 1-for-5 with an RBI and two strikeouts in his first game back. Walker will be eased back into things, with Josh Bell making a start at first base Wednesday.

Hoskins isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Wednesday's game against St. Louis.

Hoskins will get a chance to collect himself Wednesday as he continues to slump at the plate, going 3-for-32 with two home runs and 11 strikeouts over his last nine games. Jake Bauers will get the nod at first base instead.

Naylor (back) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Kansas City.

Naylor had to be lifted from Tuesday's game with an acute back spasm and is considered day-to-day. With a team off day Thursday, he will hope to be back in there for Friday's series opener against the Dodgers. Kyle Manzardo will man first base Wednesday versus the Royals.

Singleton is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Singleton started the previous two games but will sit Wednesday while in the midst of a 4-for-26 slump. Zach Dezenzo is manning first base and batting eighth versus Cincinnati righty Nick Martinez.

Harper was removed from Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays due to a left elbow contusion, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The 31-year-old stayed in the game after being hit by a pitch in the left elbow during the first inning, though he was replaced by a pinch hitter for his second plate appearance. Harper is being further evaluated, which could include medical imaging. He should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.

Yepez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

It's the second straight absence and third in four games for Yepez, with his only start during that stretch coming against a left-handed starter. Joey Gallo is starting at first base while Andres Chaparro serves as the designated hitter Wednesday against Miami righty Valente Bellozo, as it appears Yepez has fallen into the short side of a platoon, at least for the time being.

Harper revealed last week that he's been playing through a sore wrist and sore right elbow, MLB.com reports.

Harper was seen wincing after taking a swing in Tuesday's win over the Blue Jays, but he stayed in that game and is back in the lineup Wednesday. Phillies manager Rob Thomson said that Harper's elbow "grabs a little bit" on swings and misses, but he said his first baseman is "fine" and there are no current plans to give him rest. Harper noted last week that he's battled wrist soreness since May, while the elbow issue is more recent. He's slashing .307/.373/.465 since Aug. 1 but hasn't homered since Aug. 9.

Guerrero went 4-for-5 with a double, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 10-9 loss to the Phillies.

The first baseman led a 16-hit barrage for the Blue Jays and added his 28th homer of the season off Taijuan Walker in the sixth inning, but it wasn't enough. Guerrero is once again one of the hottest hitters in the majors, racking up seven multi-hit performance over his last nine contests while slashing .500/.550/.806 over that stretch with five doubles, two home runs, eight runs and eight RBI.
