Meidroth went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Guardians.

The second baseman did his job at the top of the order, but the rest of the White Sox lineup managed just five hits in total. Meidroth is batting .269 (14-for-52) over 15 games in September with three doubles, two homers, one steal, five RBI and seven runs as he wraps up a solid second big-league campaign.

The Orioles placed Holliday on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with left wrist inflammation, retroactive to Tuesday.

Manager Craig Albernaz said before Wednesday's game against the Mets that Holliday is "banged up," and the Orioles have now determined that his wrist injury is serious enough to warrant a trip to the IL. The 22-year-old will be eligible to return from the IL before the O's begin their final series of the regular season against the Yankees. Until then, Jeremiah Jackson figures to take over as Baltimore's primary second baseman, while Jose Barrero will come up from Triple-A to replenish the team's infield depth.

Holliday (undisclosed) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.

Manager Craig Albernaz said that Holliday is "banged up" but didn't specify the type of injury the young infielder is dealing with. He'll have another day off Thursday to recover before the O's return home to begin a series against the Brewers on Friday. In the meantime, Jeremiah Jackson will start at second base and bat seventh.

Torres is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Toronto.

Torres has seen his playing time slip since the Tigers fell out of the playoff hunt, as this will be the fifth time he's been absent from the lineup over the last 10 contests. Hao-Yu Lee will man second base and Colt Keith will be deployed as Detroit's designated hitter.

The Twins recalled Ross from Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday.

Ross is starting at shortstop Wednesday against the Yankees in place of the injured Kaelen Culpepper (hamstring). He'll see some action at that position while Culpepper is out, and Ross can also handle every position on the diamond other than pitcher and catcher.

The Cardinals activated Wetherholt (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Wetherholt was scheduled to go through a full pregame workout Tuesday, and he came out of it with no concerns, clearing the way for his return. He's starting at second base and batting leadoff Wednesday versus the Giants. The rookie infielder has been sidelined since late August with right wrist tendinitis. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that Wetherholt will play just six innings Wednesday as he eases back into a full-time role, John Denton of Roundtable.io reports.

Lowe went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Brewers.

The second baseman supplied the only offense for the Pirates when he bashed a DL Hall fastball off the right-field foul pole in the eighth inning. It was Lowe's 30th homer of the season, marking the third time in his career he's reached that plateau, and he's been locked in to close out the campaign. Over his last 14 games, Lowe has delivered a .346/.424/.558 slash line with two doubles, three home runs, six RBI and 10 runs.

Freeland went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Reds.

The 25-year-old has been the Dodgers' primary second baseman against right-handed pitching in September, and Tuesday's long ball off Pierce Johnson was his first in the majors since May 31. Since rejoining the Dodgers when rosters expanded at the beginning of the month, Freeland has produced a .258/.378/.419 slash line in 37 plate appearances with one homer, two doubles, two steals, two RBI and six runs.

McLain started at second base and went 0-for-3 in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Dodgers.

McLain was back in the lineup after missing three games due to a left shoulder injury. The Reds downplayed the severity of the issue and welcomed back their primary second baseman Tuesday. McLain, who will attempt to finish a trying season on a positive note, is batting just .129 (4-for-31) this month and .186 for the season.

Marte went 2-for-6 with two doubles and an RBI in Tuesday's 4-2 extra-innings loss to the Marlins.

Marte drove home the designated runner in the bottom of the 11th inning after Miami scored three times in the top of the frame. It was a frustrating night for the Diamondbacks, who went 1-for-13 with runners in scoring position and missed an opportunity to gain ground in the playoff chase. Marte's hit safely in 12 of 13 games since returning from the injured list, going 14-for-54 with six doubles, one home run, seven RBI and six runs scored.
