  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Could return this weekend

    Manager Joe Espada said Wednesday that Paredes (hamstring) is recovering well and will be re-evaluated in the next day or two to determine whether he'll be able to come off the injured list this weekend versus the Mariners, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    The third baseman has been on the shelf nearly two months due to a hamstring strain but appears to be closing in on his return from the injured list. Paredes could be eased back into things as the designated hitter, with Espada indicating that the 26-year-old will be asked to run less than full speed on the basepaths.

  • Eguy Rosario 3B | SD

    Padres' Eguy Rosario: Moves past sports hernia

    Rosario (sports hernia) went 5-for-21 with two home runs, two walks, one stolen base, four RBI and four runs in five games for Double-A San Antonio after being activated from the 60-day injured list Sept. 9.

    After a rough start to the season at Triple-A El Paso, Rosario was assigned to the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on May 19. He had been playing regularly in the ACL for about two weeks before being shut down when he required surgery in June to address a sports hernia. Rosario was cleared to begin a rehab assignment at High-A Fort Wayne on Aug. 19 and then linked up with San Antonio for the tail end of the Texas League season.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    Angels' Yoan Moncada: Still out Wednesday

    Moncada (ankle) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Milwaukee.

    Moncada was lifted from Sunday's contest versus the Mariners due to a left ankle injury and has now missed two straight starts. He's considered day-to-day for the time being. Luis Rengifo will play third base and bat leadoff for the Angels on Wednesday.

  • Brett Harris 3B | ATH

    Athletics' Brett Harris: Making third straight start

    Harris will start at third base and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Harris will be included in the starting nine for the third contest in a row after going 5-for-7 with a double over his previous two games. The Athletics appear set to give Harris another look as their everyday third baseman, allowing Darell Hernaiz to shift over to second base in place of the slumping Zack Gelof, who will hit the bench for the third game in a row after striking out at a 36.4 percent clip since the beginning of September.

  • Mark Vientos DH | NYM

    Mets' Mark Vientos: Exiting lineup Wednesday

    Vientos is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

    Vientos has been one of the Mets' top hitters since the All-Star break, but he's cooled down a bit over the past couple weeks. Over his last 10 games, Vientos has gone just 5-for-33 (.152 average) with 11 strikeouts, so manager Carlos Mendoza will give the slugger the night off to get a mental reset. Starling Marte will replace Vientos as the Mets' designated hitter.

  • Kyle Karros 3B | COL

    Rockies' Kyle Karros: Giving way to Farmer on Wednesday

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

    Kyle Farmer will get the nod at third base Wednesday while Karros retreats to the bench for the second time in three games. Karros has received the majority of the starts at the hot corner in September but is slashing just .214/.267/.238 in 12 games so far this month.

  • Nolan Gorman 2B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Could get some looks at first base

    Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Wednesday that Gorman could "potentially" see some start at first base following the season-ending injury to Willson Contreras (shoulder), Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Alec Burleson will be the team's primary first baseman down the stretch, but Gorman might also see some action there on days when Burleson plays the outfield. Gorman's playing-time outlook took a hit with the returns of Brendan Donovan and Nolan Arenado from the injured list, but Gorman now has another avenue to playing time, albeit a narrow one.

  • Nathan Eaton LF | BOS

    Red Sox's Nate Eaton: Not in Boston lineup

    Eaton is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

    Eaton had started five of the last six tilts, but he'll begin Wednesday's festivities on the bench. Rob Refsnyder will handle right field and bat sixth for the Red Sox.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Reds' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Getting breather

    Hayes is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in St. Louis.

    Hayes will receive Wednesday off after going hitless across his last four games. Sal Stewart will handle third base and bat fifth in Wednesday's matinee.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Contributes in win

    Ramirez went 2-for-5 with a double, a stolen base, an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-5 extra-inning win over Detroit.

    Ramirez was part of a four-run 10th inning when he doubled and scored. The double was one of four consecutive extra-base hits in the frame. Earlier, he singled, stole a base and scored in the sixth. The double was his 30th, giving him a sixth straight season with at least 30 doubles, while the theft was his 39th. Cleveland's won five straight and moved within 2.5 games of the final wild-card spot.
