Ramirez went 0-for-6 with four walks, an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Padres.

Ramirez wasn't able to get a hit, but he was still a regular presence on the bases. The third baseman is now 2-for-3 in stolen base attempts this season, with both of his successful thefts coming in the last three games. He's slashing an excellent .318/.419/.659 with seven home runs, 29 RBI and 14 runs scored in 105 plate appearances.

Urias went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer during Wednesday's 9-4 win over the Twins.

Urias returned to the starting lineup after being benched Tuesday and made the most of the opportunity by ripping his first homer of the season. The third-year infielder is off to a slow start this season, slashing just .205/.282/.532 through 22 games.

Rendon went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, two RBI and two runs in Wednesday's win over the Red Sox.

Rendon homered off reliever Austin Davis in the top of the seventh inning. He later notched an RBI single in the top of the 10th inning before coming around to score on a Jared Walsh long ball. The 31-year-old now has three home runs and 11 RBI over 78 at-bats, though his .231 average still leaves much to be desired. The homer and multi-RBI game were Rendon's first since April 22.

Bregman went 3-for-3 with a double, two runs scored and three RBI on Wednesday against the Mariners.

Bregman drove in a run in each of the second, fourth and sixth innings to tally his first multi-RBI performance since April 23. He had been quiet at the plate prior to Wednesday's offensive explosion, tallying only five hits in 34 at-bats across his last 10 games. Overall, Bregman is hitting .247/.347/.447 across 101 plate appearances to go along with four home runs, 16 RBI and 14 runs scored.

Suarez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Astros.

Suarez took Justin Verlander yard in the seventh inning to record his fourth home run of the season. Prior to the homer, Suarez had gone 0-for-19 with eight strikeouts across his last five starts. While Suarez continues to be a reasonable source of power, he has only a .202/.297/.427 line across 101 plate appearances to go along with 13 RBI and 12 runs scored.

Candelario went 3-for-7 with two doubles and two runs scored across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Pirates.

Still batting just .188 this season, Candelario is starting to show some signs of life. Factoring in Wednesday's production, the third baseman now has hits in four straight contests, including two multi-hit efforts. Candelario was much more productive at the plate the last two years than he has been so far in 2022, so fantasy managers will likely want to remain patient.

Chapman went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's win over the Yankees.

Chapman took Nestor Cortes deep in the bottom of the second inning, giving the Blue Jays a 1-0 lead. The homer was his fifth of the season and he now has 14 RBI. In his first season with the Blue Jays, Chapman has struggled to a .220/.290/.429 slash line over 91 at-bats.

Burger, who is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Cubs, is dealing with some soreness after colliding with the wall in foul territory Tuesday, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Burger went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Tuesday and never exited the contest, but he'll receive a day to rest up Wednesday in the series finale. He'll have Thursday's scheduled off day to aid in his recovery before Friday's series opener in Boston.

Manager Tony La Russa said Wednesday that Moncada (oblique) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list Monday, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

The 26-year-old has appeared in three games with Triple-A Charlotte since beginning his rehab assignment Saturday, and he'll apparently have a full week in the minors to get back up to speed. The oblique strain has sidelined Moncada for the first month of the season, but he's on track to make his season debut Monday versus the Guardians.

Burger isn't starting Wednesday against the Cubs, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Burger will get a day off after he went 2-for-6 with two RBI, a walk and four strikeouts over the last two games. Josh Harrison will shift to the hot corner while Leury Garcia starts at second base.
