Peguero went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored Wednesday against the Cardinals.

Peguero has experienced some of the ups and downs expected of rookies, as he entered Wednesday's game with only two hits across his prior 17 at-bats. He broke out of that slump with the seventh multi-hit performance in 28 big-league games so far this season. Peguero has seen the majority of his playing time at second base, and that role should be more secure moving forward with Oneil Cruz's (ankle) return in doubt.

Estrada went 2-for-5 with one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Wednesday's 8-6 extra-inning win over the Phillies.

The steal was Estrada's 19th of the season, and it was his first attempt to swipe a bag since returning from a hand injury earlier in the month. The second baseman has gone 21-for-67 (.313) over his last 16 games. He's up to a .280/.329/.434 slash line with 10 home runs, 39 RBI, 51 runs scored, 23 doubles and a triple over 86 games this season.

Rengifo went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a triple, two runs scored and an RBI in a 9-4 loss to the Reds during the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader.

The super-utility player did his job from the leadoff spot, but the Angels' offense had trouble cashing him in, particularly after Shohei Ohtani was removed as the DH after complaining of arm fatigue while on the mound. Rengifo has run hot and cold all season, but it's been mostly the latter in August -- he's batting .268 (19-for-71) over his last 20 games with just one homer, five RBI and nine runs.

Drury isn't in the Angels' lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Reds, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Drury went 0-for-5 and drove in a run during Game 1, snapping what had been a four-game hitting streak. He'll get a breather in the nightcap and be replaced by Luis Rengifo at second base.

Caballero walked, scored a run and stole a pair of bases in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the White Sox.

Caballero drew a walk as a pinch hitter for Dominic Canzone to lead off the seventh inning. He'd go on to steal both second and third base before scoring the Mariners' first run on a Josh Rojas bunt single. The 26-year-old Caballero hasn't started since Saturday, though he's come off the bench in three straight games. He's now logged five steals in his last eight contests, improving to 25-for-28 in stolen base attempts this season while slashing .240/.371/.340 with three homers, 33 runs scored and 24 RBI across 248 plate appearances in his rookie campaign.

Rojas went 3-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's loss against the White Sox.

Rojas drove in the Mariners' first run of the contest with a bunt single in the seventh inning before subsequently swiping his ninth base of the season. The 29-year-old Rojas has been on a roll of late, going 9-for-18 (.500) with a homer and three steals in his last four contests. Since joining Seattle, he's batting .294 with a .784 OPS over 15 games. Rojas has boosted his slash line to .242/.301/.329 with two homers, 36 runs scored and 34 RBI across 270 plate appearances between the Mariners and Diamondbacks this season.

Frazier has been out of the lineup due to a sore right hand but should be available off the bench Wednesday versus the Blue Jays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

The hand soreness helps to explain why Frazier hasn't made a start since last Friday, though the issue seems to be mostly in the rearview mirror at this point. Jordan Westburg is covering second base Wednesday against Toronto in place of Frazier.

Westburg will start at second base and bat eighth Wednesday versus the Blue Jays.

Westburg will get his fourth straight start at second base and his fifth straight start overall. The 24-year-old is 18-for-64 (.281) with one home run, five doubles, nine RBI and seven runs scored in 17 games since the beginning of August.

Frazier is out of the lineup again Wednesday versus the Blue Jays.

Frazier hasn't drawn a start since last Friday, partly because the Orioles were up against a string of left-handers, and he will remain seated Wednesday with right-hander Kevin Gausman toeing the slab for Toronto. Jordan Westburg is getting a fourth consecutive start at second base.

Dubon is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Red Sox.

Dubon has been in a good groove offensively over the last few weeks and is generally seeing an uptick in playing time, but he'll take a seat Wednesday as Chas McCormick, Jake Meyers and Kyle Tucker start across the outfield for the Astros.
