India went 2-for-4 with two RBI, a run scored and a stolen base Wednesday against the Red Sox.

India delivered a pair of RBI singles and also swiped his third base of the season. He's had a disappointing campaign and shown few signs of turning it around lately, as even after this strong effort he is hitting .219 with 10 RBI and six runs scored across 20 games in September. Overall, India has a 96 wRC+ and a .316 wOBA across 392 plate appearances for the season.

Torres went 3-for-4 with two home runs, five RBI and four runs scored in Wednesday's 14-2 victory over the Pirates.

The 25-year-old continued his torrid stretch and is now riding a 10-game hit streak, during which he is batting .400 (18-for-45) with four home runs, 10 runs scored and 14 RBI. The stretch has improved his slash line from .236/.289/.414 to .252/.304/.445 on the season.

Espinal was removed from Wednesday's game early due to left side discomfort.

Cavan Biggio came in to pinch hit for Espinal in the seventh inning. More updates will come on Espinal's status once the Blue Jays are able to get a better look at him.

Altuve left Wednesday's game early after being hit in the elbow by a pitch, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Altuve stayed in the game briefly after being hit by a pitch in the fifth inning, but he was eventually replaced by Mauricio Dubon in the sixth. The Astros will take a look at Altuve's elbow and provide further updates once they receive results. For now, he should be considered day-to-day.

Estrada (elbow) isn't in the lineup Wednesday against Colorado.

Estrada's elbow injury will keep him out of the lineup at least one game after he was struck by a pitch during Tuesday's win over the Rockies. As a result, Wilmer Flores will start at second base, David Villar will serve as designated hitter, LaMonte Wade will come in to play first and Luis Gonzalez will start in right field, batting eighth.

Rojas will take a seat Wednesday after going 1-for-4 in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader. While he rests, Emmanuel Rivera will take his spot at third base and bat fifth.

Marte isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers.

Marte will get a breather after going 2-for-7 with a home run and three runs scored between both games of Tuesday's doubleheader. In his place, Sergio Alcantara will start at second base and bat sixth.

Lux is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Arizona, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Lux is 3-for-16 with a run and six strikeouts in four games since he returned from a back injury Saturday, and he'll step out of the starting nine for Wednesday's contest. Chris Taylor will shift to second base while Miguel Vargas starts in left field.

Donovan is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Diego, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Donovan is 5-for-37 over his past 11 games and will take a seat for Wednesday's contest. Tommy Edman will shift to second base while Paul DeJong starts at shortstop.

Drury isn't starting Wednesday against the Cardinals, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Drury returned from the injured list Thursday and started the last five games. He went 5-for-18 with two home runs, two doubles, four RBI, a walk and three strikeouts but will head to the bench while Wil Myers starts at first base and bats seventh.
