Santana is not in the lineup Thursday versus the Marlins.

Rowdy Tellez will start at first base and bat cleanup as the Brewers take on impressive young right-hander Eury Perez. Santana, 37, has slashed just .230/.295/.395 in 166 plate appearances since being acquired from the Pirates ahead of the Aug. 1 trade deadline.

Encarnacion-Strand is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Detroit.

Encarnacion-Strand started Wednesday's game and reached base twice, but this now marks the third time he's been out of the lineup in the Reds' last four contests. With Joey Votto back from the injured list and Jake Fraley limited to DH duty, the playing time squeeze for Encarnacion-Strand could continue.

Lowe went 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run, three RBI and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 10-0 win over Toronto.

Lowe helped get the party started with a three-run home run as part of a four-run, fourth inning that broke a scoreless tie. The RBI bumped his season total to a career-high 77, and the homer, his 16th, was his first blast in 23 games. Lowe was dropped to sixth in the order for a second straight game, both against left-handers, as Rangers manager Bruce Bochy navigates a lineup without Adolis Garcia (knee) and Josh Jung (thumb).

Alonso went 2-for-5 with a double and three RBI in a 7-1 victory versus Arizona on Wednesday.

Alonso kicked off the scoring in the contest with an RBI single in the first inning and added a two-run double in the fifth. The slugger is up to 108 runs batted in on the campaign, second-most in the majors. Alonso has also belted 44 homers -- he and Matt Olson are the only big-leaguers so far this season with at least 40 long balls and 100 RBI.

Loftin went 2-for-2 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the White Sox.

Loftin has hit safely in seven of his nine games so far, and three of them have been multi-hit efforts. He helped the Royals extend their lead with a couple of run-scoring knocks after entering as a pinch hitter for Nick Pratto in the seventh inning. Loftin is batting .345 (10-for-29) with six RBI, six runs scored, five doubles and a triple through 33 plate appearances. He's seeing time primarily at second base and first base, which has led to smaller roles for Pratto and Michael Massey.

Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Wednesday's loss to the Reds.

Torkelson got the Tigers on the board in the third inning with his 28th home run of the season. The young slugger has four of those long balls in 11 games this month, and with Detroit still set to play 17 more contests, Torkelson has a strong chance to reach the 30-homer plateau for the first time in his career.

Mountcastle was pulled from Wednesday's game against St. Louis due to left shoulder discomfort, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Mountcastle was able to remain in Wednesday's game for two innings after feeling his shoulder pop in the first inning. He will undergo imaging Thursday, per Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com, and he is officially listed as day-to-day for now.

Mountcastle was removed from Wednesday's game against the Cardinals with an apparent shoulder injury, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Mountcastle seemed to tweak his left shoulder during the first inning of Wednesday's game, but he remained in the game for two more innings before being pinch hit for by Ramon Urias. The Orioles should provide more information on Mountcastle's injury in the near future, but the fact he was able to play through it for a while is a good sign that the damage likely isn't too severe.

O'Hearn is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

O'Hearn has an .867 OPS through eight games in September and will sit Wednesday versus lefty Drew Rom. Ryan Mountcastle will handle first base while Adley Rutschman rests his legs as Baltimore's designated hitter.

Abreu is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Athletics, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Abreu had started each of the last 11 games but will begin this one on the bench. Jon Singleton will man first base for Houston.
