Arenado went 3-for-3 with a double, two walks, one RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 10-5 win over the Pirates.

This was Arenado's third multi-hit effort in his last nine games, a span in which he's hitting .323 (10-for-31) with five walks, though just two of his hits over that stretch have gone for extra bases. The third baseman has put together a strong second half to maintain a .269/.323/.396 slash line for the season while adding 16 home runs, 69 RBI, 67 runs scored, 22 doubles and two stolen bases over 145 games.

Cook went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in Wednesday's loss to the Cardinals.

After going down on strikes in each of his first two at-bats, Cook launched a two-out, three-run homer in the top of the sixth to put Pittsburgh on top 5-4. He would later add a leadoff single in the ninth to give him his second multi-hit performance of the campaign. The long ball was also the first of Cook's big-league career, and he now has five RBI through his first eight games, though he's batting just .208 (5-for-24) over that stretch.

Hernandez went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in an 8-4 victory over the Marlins on Wednesday.

Hernandez capped a big fourth inning for the Dodgers with a 430-foot, three-run blast. The long ball was his first over his past 16 contests, and the trio of RBI were his first runs batted in over that span. Hernandez has been working in a platoon with Gavin Lux at second base -- the former has started four of Los Angeles' past five games against southpaw starters while Lux has been getting all of the starts against right-handers.

Bohm went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Brewers.

Bohm had the Phillies' lone run with a solo shot in the second inning off Freddy Peralta. Bohm has gone 2-for-11 with two strikeouts over three games since he returned from a hand injury that cost him a couple of weeks. The third baseman is up to 14 homers, 90 RBI, 60 runs scored, five stolen bases, 44 doubles and a .288/.341/.461 slash line through 134 contests this season.

Solano went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Astros.

Solano salvaged his stat line with an eighth-inning solo homer off Kaleb Ort, the infielder's seventh long ball of the campaign. In September, Solano is 8-for-37 (.216) with five runs and two RBI.

Machado went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs during Saturday's 4-0 win over the Astros.

It's Machado's second multi-homer performance in 11 games -- the third baseman is 17-for-45 with eight multi-hit games, six home runs and 18 RBI in that stretch. Machado boasts an .814 OPS in 609 plate appearances for the season.

Muncy is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Muncy had started in each of the last 10 games, and with a lefty (Ryan Weathers) on the mound for the Marlins, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts likely decided it was an ideal time to give the lefty-hitting third baseman a day off. Enrique Hernandez will spell Muncy at the hot corner.

Triple-A Syracuse reinstated Baty (finger) from the 7-day injured list Wednesday. Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.

Baty had been sidelined since late August with a fractured left index finger. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Wednesday that Baty playing again in the majors this season is "in play," per Tim Healey of Newsday. However, given his .633 OPS in 50 games with the Mets this season, it's unlikely he'll have much of a role even if he does get recalled. He'll make his return to the Triple-A lineup Wednesday against Charlotte as Syracuse's designated hitter.

The Giants officially placed Chapman (personal) on the paternity list Wednesday.

Chapman left the team prior to Tuesday's 10-0 win over the Orioles to observe the birth of his child, but the Giants waited until Wednesday before officially deactivating him. Casey Schmitt was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento to provide some infield depth in the short term. Per MLB rules, Chapman will be away from the Giants for at least one game and as many as three while on the paternity list, so expected him to rejoin the club no later than Saturday.

Muncy went 3-for-5 with two doubles, five RBI and a stolen base in a loss to the Marlins on Tuesday.

Muncy plated over half of Los Angeles' runs in the high-scoring affair, knocking a two-run double in the third inning, a run-scoring single in the seventh and another two-run double in the ninth. The third baseman has driven in at least one run in six of his past nine contests and has a total of 10 RBI during that span. Since returning from the injured list Aug. 19, Muncy is slashing .250/.382/.583 with six home runs, 17 RBI, 16 runs, a stolen base and a 14:22 BB:K over 24 games.
