  • Coby Mayo 3B | BAL

    Orioles' Coby Mayo: Back on bench Wednesday

    Mayo is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Boston.

    Mayo had made two straight starts after starting just one of the previous six contests. He's back on the bench for Wednesday's series finale, with Emmanuel Rivera drawing the start at third base for the Orioles.

  • Jason Vosler 3B | SEA

    Mariners' Jason Vosler: Outrighted to Triple-A

    The Mariners outrighted Vosler to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

    He's no longer on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Vosler has batted only .179/.233/.286 over 10 games in the majors this season.

  • Addison Barger SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Addison Barger: On bench against lefty

    Barger is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

    Barger has moved into a regular role against right-handed pitching, but the Blue Jays continue to shield the lefty-hitting utility man from southpaws. He'll cede duties at third base to Luis De Los Santos while southpaw Sean Manaea takes the hill for the Mets.

  • Ernie Clement SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Crosses plate three times Tuesday

    Clement went 2-for-4 with a triple and three runs scored in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Mets.

    The 28-year-old infielder's hot bat has kept him in the lineup in September. Clement has five multi-hit performances in eight games to begin the month, batting .324 (11-for-34) with a double, a triple, a homer, a steal, two RBI and eight runs. He could get squeezed for playing time once Bo Bichette (calf) comes off the IL, but for now Clement will continue bouncing between shortstop and third base while getting regular at-bats.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Historic homer in Tuesday's win

    Machado went 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.

    Machado's first hit of the night was a two-run blast to center in the sixth, which put him alone atop the Padres' all-time leaderboard. Machado wasn't done yet, as he plated two more runs in the seventh on a base hit with the bases loaded. The 32-year-old has at least a base hit in 10 of his last 12 games and has racked up 15 RBI over that span. For the year, he's now slashing .276/.329/.472 with 26 homers, 94 RBI, 70 runs, nine steals and a 42:106 BB:K in 578 plate appearances.

  • Connor Norby 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Connor Norby: Back in lineup Wednesday

    Norby (foot) will start at third base and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game in Pittsburgh.

    Norby was scratched from Tuesday's lineup with lingering left foot soreness as a result of a foul ball off the foot in Monday's game. He checked out fine and is back in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Goes deep again Tuesday

    Muncy went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Cubs.

    Muncy took Shota Imanaga deep in the fifth for his second home run over the last three game. He nearly had a two-run homer in the ninth with the Dodgers down three runs, but Pete Crow-Armstrong reached over the wall and made a web gem catch to rob Muncy and end the game. Muncy has now reached base six times over the last four games while posting a 3:2 BB:K. For the year, he's hitting .228/.339/.497 with 13 homers, 38 RBI, 35 runs and a 32:66 BB:K in 230 plate appearances.

  • Connor Norby 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Connor Norby: Nursing sore foot

    Norby was scratched from Tuesday's lineup versus the Pirates due to left foot soreness, MLB.com reports.

    Norby fouled a pitch off the foot during Monday's game and has some lingering discomfort. He was set to undergo further testing, but Marlins manager Skip Schumaker believes Norby will be OK. Consider him day-to-day for the time being.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Reaches four times Tuesday

    Caminero went 3-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in a 9-4 loss to the Phillies on Tuesday.

    It was an encouraging showing from Caminero, who'd gone just 3-for-23 in his previous six contests. The 21-year-old rookie is batting .266 with a .739 OPS, three homers, 12 RBI, 11 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases across 112 plate appearances since he was recalled to serve as Tampa Bay's everyday third baseman in mid-August.

  • Ezequiel Duran SS | TEX

    Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Makes fourth consecutive start

    Duran started at designated hitter and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Tuesday's 6-0 loss to Arizona.

    Duran made a fourth consecutive start and sixth over the last seven contests. During that run, he's played left field, second base, shortstop, third base and DH while going 7-for-20 with four extra-base hits, two walks, five RBI and five runs scored. The opportunities could dry up when Corey Seager (hip) returns.
