  • Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Swipes two bags Wednesday

    Chisholm went 1-for-5 with two stolen bases in a 5-4, extra-innings win against the Rays on Wednesday.

    Chisholm singled and proceeded to steal both second and third base in the fourth inning but was stranded without crossing the plate. However, he scored the winning run in the 11th frame after beginning on second as the automatic runner. The thefts were Chisholm's first since June 10 -- a span of 40 games. While he hasn't been as active on the basepaths this season, his .813 OPS is on pace for the second-best mark of his career.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: On base three times in return

    Lowe went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a walk Wednesday against the Yankees.

    Lowe returned from the injured list after a minimum stint and hit second in the order. He doubled in a run in his second at-bat and followed that up with a single in the fifth inning. Lowe has hit .315 with eight home runs, 20 RBI and 25 runs scored across 34 games since the start of June, and he should play nearly every day across the last two months of the season if he can stay healthy.

  • Tristan Gray SS | MIN

    Rays' Tristan Gray: Sent down to Triple-A

    The Rays optioned Gray to Triple-A Durham on Wednesday.

    The move makes room on the 26-man roster for Brandon Lowe (foot), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Gray was acquired by the Rays from the White Sox on Saturday, and he has spent most of the season at the Triple-A level, where he slashed .270/.333/.472 with three steals, four triples, nine home runs and 44 RBI across 282 plate appearances.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Returns from injured list

    The Rays activated Lowe (foot) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    Lowe required just the minimum 10 days on the IL while recovering from plantar fasciitis in his left foot. He is starting at second base and batting second in Wednesday's contest against the Yankees in what could be his final game in a Rays uniform prior to Thursday's trade deadline. Tristan Gray was optioned to Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move.

  • Luis Urias 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Luis Urias: Resting Wednesday

    Urias isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

    Urias will sit down for Wednesday's series finale after going 1-for-6 with a run scored over the Athletics' last two games against Seattle. Max Schuemann will shift to second base to cover for Urias while Darell Hernaiz starts at shortstop.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Exiting starting nine

    Edman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Cincinnati.

    Edman homered Tuesday in his return to action after missing Monday's game with an ankle injury. The Dodgers haven't provided any indication that Edman suffered a setback, so his absence Wednesday appears to be a measure of giving him two days of rest since the team is off Thursday. Miguel Rojas will start at second base and Alex Freeland will man third base for the Dodgers in the series finale in Cincinnati.

  • Padres' Jose Iglesias: Gaining traction in lineup

    Iglesias will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Mets.

    Iglesias has now started in five of the Padres' last six games and has maintained a solid, if unspectacular .278/.333/.361 slash line with three extra-base hits (all doubles), two stolen bases, five runs and one RBI since the All-Star break. Though he's performed well enough to retain a near-everyday spot in the lineup for the time being, Iglesias will be at risk of moving into more of a utility role if the Padres add another impact bat ahead of Thursday's trade deadline.

  • Brice Matthews SS | HOU

    Astros' Brice Matthews: Taking seat again Wednesday

    Matthews is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

    Since slugging three home runs and driving in seven runs in his first six big-league games, Matthews' production has fallen off considerably. In his last five contests, Matthews has gone just 1-for-15 with nine strikeouts, and his ongoing struggles appear to have resulted in him moving into more of a part-time role. He'll be on the bench Wednesday for the fourth time in six games.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Exiting starting nine

    Sosa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

    Chase Meidroth will step in at second base while Sosa rests after starting in each of the last five games. Since rejoining the White Sox on June 17 following a stint on the injured list, Sosa is slashing .274/.311/.484 with six home runs, one stolen base, 23 RBI and 16 runs in 34 contests.

  • Royals' Jonathan India: Out with sore shoulder

    Royals manager Matt Quatraro said that India is being held out of Wednesday's lineup against Atlanta due to a sore shoulder, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Quatraro added that India will be available off the bench and should be back in the lineup Friday following the team's scheduled off day Thursday. The Royals will start Adam Frazier at second base Wednesday.
