Henderson went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, four RBI and one run scored in Wednesday's win over the Nationals.

For the second night in a row, Henderson recorded two hits, including his first career triple. The three-bagger down the left field line in the seventh inning scored two runners, and a throwing error by the left fielder allowed Henderson to come around and score himself. He also doubled in a run in the eighth inning to go along with an RBI groundout earlier in the game. In 14 games since being called up, Henderson is slashing .320/.370/.520. While he should not be expected to perform at this level for a full season, his slash line is similar to the .288/.390/.504 slash line he maintained in 295 plate appearances at Triple-A this year, giving credence to his strong performance thus far.

Duffy will start at third base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

He'll be making his sixth consecutive start at third base and looks to be fairly secure as an everyday player now that fellow infielder Andrew Velazquez (knee) has been shut down for the season. Since returning from the injured list Aug. 29, Duffy is hitting .195/.250/.317 in 14 games.

Henderson went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

Henderson got the Orioles on the board with an RBI single in the top of the first and then doubled and scored in the fifth. The youngster has reached base safely in 13 of his first 14 games in the big leagues, slashing a robust .304/.360/.457 in the process. With Henderson and fellow rookie Adley Rutschman playing to their pedigree, the future is bright in Baltimore.

Miranda went 2-for-2 with a home run, two total RBI and two walks in a 6-3 win over the Royals on Tuesday.

Miranda supplied an RBI single in the third inning and a solo homer in the fifth. The corner infielder has been steady at the plate in September, going 14-for-40 (.350) with five extra-base hits, seven RBI and seven walks over his last 11 games. The 24-year-old rookie is up to a .279/.337/.459 slash line with 15 homers, 63 RBI, 38 runs scored, one stolen base and 20 doubles through 103 games this year.

Urshela went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Royals.

Urshela enjoyed a productive game, including a sixth-inning solo shot that provided the Twins' last run of the game. He started September in a 1-for-19 skid over his first five contests, but he's hit safely in his last six, going 11-for-23 (.478) over that span. The third baseman snapped an RBI drought of 12 contests, and his homer was his first in 27 games. Urshela has a .272/.319/.426 slash line with 12 long balls, 54 RBI, 48 runs scored and a stolen base through 122 games this year.

Duffy went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's loss to Cleveland.

Duffy accounted for the Angels' first runs of the game with his two-run shot to left field in the fourth inning. The long ball was his first since he returned from a lengthy stint on the injured list Aug. 29. Duffy has struggled since being activated, slashing .211/.250/.342 with five RBI over 13 games.

Kreidler is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Astros.

Kody Clemens will start at the hot corner and bat seventh. Kreidler is hitting .233 with one home run, one double, nine strikeouts and three walks in nine games since getting the call this month.

Candelario is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Astros.

The Tigers have spread the playing time around a bit more this month, as Candelario didn't hit enough through the first five months to lock down a true everyday role. He is hitting .243 with two home runs over his last 10 games.

Jung went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 10-6 loss to Miami in the second game of Monday's doubleheader.

Jung started at third base in both ends of the two-game slate and doubled in the matinee. Since having his contract selected, Jung is 5-for-20 with four of those hits going for extra bases, including two home runs.

Rendon (wrist) took batting practice Monday and continues to target a return from the 60-day injured list before the end of the season, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon was presumed to be shut down for the 2022 campaign when he underwent surgery June 21 to address a right wrist injury, but the 32-year-old has seemingly progressed far faster than anticipated. Even though the Angels have little at stake as the season winds down, Rendon is eager to play in a few games to close out the year to give him peace of mind about his health heading into the long offseason. According to Fletcher, the Angels' tentative plan is to activate Rendon in late September, assuming he remains free of setbacks as he ramps up his baseball activities. Once reinstated, Rendon will have to serve a five-game suspension stemming from his involvement in a late-June benches-clearing brawl with the Mariners. He would then play in handful of games to close out the season, perhaps making him someone worthy of picking up later this month in deeper leagues where he's available.
