  • Owen Miller 2B | CHC

    Padres' Owen Miller: Selected for Arizona Fall League

    Miller will play for Peoria in the Arizona Fall League, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Miller's selection will enable him to extend his season among many of baseball's top prospects. The 22-year-old has hit .285 with 12 homers and 64 RBI in 125 games with Double-A Amarillo this season.

  • Corban Joseph 2B | BAL

    Athletics' Corban Joseph: Late add to Wednesday's lineup

    Joseph was a late addition to Wednesday's lineup against the Royals. He is starting at designated hitter and batting ninth.

    Khris Davis was a late scratch as he heads to the paternity list. Davis is expected to miss three games, so Joseph should get two or three starts while Davis is away from the team.

  • Thairo Estrada 2B | BAL

    Yankees' Thairo Estrada: Resumes running and throwing

    Estrada (hamstring) has resumed running and throwing, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    Estrada was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain Aug. 18. The 23-year-old has played in 28 games with the Yankees this season, hitting .246 with three homers and 11 runs batted in. Should his recovery go well, he is likely to rejoin the club after rosters expand in September.

  • Corban Joseph 2B | BAL

    Athletics' Corban Joseph: Sits again Wednesday

    Joseph is not starting Wednesday against Kansas City.

    Joseph has now sat for five of the last seven games, including twice against righties like Wednesday's starter Jakob Junis, so it appears as if he's back in a bench role. Jurickson Profar gets the call at second base in his absence.

  • Tigers' Harold Castro: Not starting Wednesday

    Castro (calf) is not in the lineup for Wednesday game against Cleveland.

    Castro suffered a calf injury during Tuesday's game, though he was able to finish the contest. Victor Reyes starts in center field in his absence.

  • Amed Rosario 3B | NYY

    Mets' Amed Rosario: Drops to seventh

    Rosario is starting at shortstop and hitting seventh Wednesday against the Cubs, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

    The Mets are switching their order up in an attempt to snap a four-game losing streak. Rosario is 4-for-19 (.211) with zero extra-base hits and five strikeouts during that stretch, so he'll slide to seventh in the order while Jeff McNeil gets a turn atop the order.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | PHI

    Twins' Luis Arraez: Sits again Wednesday

    Arraez remains out of the lineup Wednesday against the Twins.

    Arraez finds himself on the bench for the second game in a row after previously starting 10 straight games. Jonathan Schoop again starts at second base.

  • Isan Diaz 2B | DET

    Marlins' Isan Diaz: Knocks in two

    Diaz went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and two RBI on Tuesday against the Reds.

    Diaz came through with a two-RBI double in the first inning, but was thrown out at third to end the frame. While his hits have been few and far between -- he has just 13 in 74 at-bats to begin his career -- Diaz has five RBI in his last five contests. His .176 average leaves plenty to be desired, but Diaz has shown the ability to work a free pass and is currently maintaining a 10.6 percent walk rate through 85 major-league plate appearances.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Exits with hamstring cramp

    Marte was removed from Tuesday's game at San Francisco with a right hamstring cramp.

    Marte hit a solo homer during the fifth inning and had trouble making it around the bases, but the announcement that he's only dealing with a hamstring cramp is welcome news. The 25-year-old will have Wednesday's scheduled off day to aid in his recovery before potentially missing any additional contests.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Suffers injury on homer

    Marte exited Tuesday's game against the Giants after limping around the bases on a solo home run, Richard Morin of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Marte crushed a solo homer 437 feet to right-center field during the fifth inning, but he struggled to make it around the bases and subsequently left the contest. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but the 25-year-old will have Wednesday's scheduled off day to recover before potentially missing additional time.
