Burger went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Wednesday's 6-5 win over Arizona.

Burger matched a season high in RBI on Wednesday, knocking multiple hits for the ninth time this year as well. The 30-year-old first baseman hasn't been all that effective at the plate overall in 2026, but the Rangers are lacking viable alternatives at the cold corner to push Burger for action on a consistent basis. Through 159 at-bats, Burger is hitting .226 with seven homers, five doubles and 27 RBI.

Ramirez went 0-for-2 with a walk, a run scored and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Angels.

The Guardians ran wild against the battery of Reid Detmers and Sebastian Rivero, going 5-for-5 on steal attempts, with Ramirez and Angel Martinez pilfering two each. Ramirez re-took the major-league lead for stolen bases with the performance, as he's racked up 18 steals in 45 games to go along with a sluggish .207/.340/.366 slash line, six homers, 16 RBI and 26 runs.

Lewis isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Miami.

Lewis will grab a seat on the bench to begin Wednesday's contest after going 2-for-13 with an RBI, two runs scored and a steal across his last four starts. Tristan Gray will cover the hot corner and bat ninth.

Smith is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

It's a rare day off for Smith, who had started the previous 12 contests. Zach Cole will patrol right field and bat eighth for the Astros in Smith's stead.

The Athletics optioned Harris to Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

Harris was in the majors for a couple weeks but hardly played, going hitless in six plate appearances. Michael Stefanic is taking his spot on the active roster.

Mayo went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run and a walk in a 3-2 victory versus the Yankees on Monday.

Mayo wasn't originally slated to be in the Baltimore's lineup, but he was a late addition after Samuel Basallo was scratched due to a knee injury. The swap ended up working out for the Orioles, as Mayo produced the team's only runs with a three-run blast to left field in the seventh inning to erase a 2-0 deficit. Mayo had recorded just one RBI over his previous 13 games coming into Monday, going 4-for-35 at the plate over that stretch. He'll look to use Monday's big hit as a catalyst for improved production.

Paredes went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's 3-1 loss against the Mariners.

Paredes reached base three times and drove in the Astros' lone run with a single to left field in the fifth inning. The 27-year-old has been racking up hits at a strong clip, batting .345 with a homer, three doubles, seven RBI and seven runs over his past 15 games. Overall, the infielder is slashing .271/.362/.391 with three homers, seven doubles, 17 RBI and 16 runs across 37 games this season.

Mayo has been inserted into the Orioles' lineup for Monday's game versus the Yankees in place of Samuel Basallo (knee), Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Mayo was slated to ride the bench for the second day in a row, but he's been granted a reprieve. The 24-year-old is just 4-for-35 with a 0:14 BB:K over his previous 13 contests.

Mayo is out of the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Yankees.

After making five straight starts, Mayo is now absent from the lineup for the second day in a row. Mayo homered in three consecutive games in late April, but since then he's just 4-for-35 with a 0:14 BB:K over 13 tilts. Jackson Holliday (hand) has begun to get some work at third base on his rehab assignment, which could indicate Mayo is facing a demotion even after Jordan Westburg's (elbow) recent setback. Weston Wilson is again at third base for the Orioles on Monday.

Williamson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.

Williamson will retreat to the bench after he had started in each of the Rays' last six games. Five of those starts came against left-handed pitching, so despite his recent uptick in playing time, Williamson still appears to be viewed primarily as a platoon partner for the left-handed-hitting Richie Palacios at second base.
