Freeman went 1-for-3 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Reds.

Freeman got the Guardians on the board with an RBI single in the bottom of the second to score Ramon Laureano and later came around to score the team's second run after stealing second. It was only the third baseman's seventh hit this month, where he's now batting .200 with six RBI, four runs scored and two stolen bases.

Machado went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Wednesday's 5-2 extra-inning win over the Giants.

Machado's third hit of the game was a two-run single in the 10th inning to give the Padres some breathing room. He's gone 10-for-17 with seven RBI over his last four games, but he's also rested regularly while nursing an elbow injury in September. Machado has a .258/.320/.465 slash line with 30 home runs, 91 RBI, 75 runs scored and three stolen bases over 137 contests this year.

Donaldson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

Donaldson has a .743 OPS in 13 games since joining the Brewers and will head to the bench after the club earned the NL Central title Tuesday. Brian Anderson is starting at the hot corner and batting eighth.

Lewis (hamstring) played in a simulated game Wednesday at Target Field, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

He even hit a homer, per Park. Lewis has made a swift recovery from the mild left hamstring strain he suffered last Tuesday and could be activated from the injured list when first eligible this Sunday, the final day of the regular season. The 24-year-old is a key potential run producer for the Twins as they head into the playoffs.

Bohm is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus Pittsburgh.

Bohm is one of many Phillies regulars riding the pine following Tuesday's victory over the Pirates, which locked up a spot in the playoffs. Rodolfo Castro will take over at the hot corner and bat eighth.

Devers is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Rays, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Devers has been scuffling lately with just two hits over his last 21 at-bats, so he'll receive a rare day off to clear his head. Bobby Dalbec is getting a start at third base for Boston on Wednesday.

Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 11-7 loss to the Reds.

Ramirez has collected six steals while batting .338 (23-for-68) over his last 17 games. The third baseman's now at 28-for-34 on the basepaths this season, in addition to his 24 home runs, 80 RBI, 87 runs scored and .281/.355/.479 slash line through 152 contests.

Moncada is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Moncada is receiving his second day off in a three-game stretch. He went 1-for-4 in his last start Tuesday. Prior to that, he had a five-game stretch in which he had a .786 OPS. With the 28-year-old on the bench, Lenyn Sosa gets the start at third base.

Rivera is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the White Sox.

Rivera has been part of a rotation at third base for the Diamondbacks but will begin this one on the bench for the fourth time in five contests. Jace Peterson is handling the hot corner.

Henderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

The 22-year-old further bolstered his campaign for AL Rookie of the Year, taking Josiah Gray deep for a leadoff solo homer that turned out to be the difference in Tuesday's 1-0 victory. After Henderson endured a somewhat slow start to his first full season, he has posted a slugging percentage of .500 or better in each of the final four months, resulting in a season-long slash line of .260/.329/.498 with 28 doubles, nine triples, 28 home runs, 82 RBI, 99 runs scored, 10 steals and a 155:55 strikeout-to-walk ratio across 607 plate appearances. His hard-hit rate of 52.0 percent ranks as the 14th-highest in the majors this year, sandwiching the rookie between Yordan Alvarez and Mike Trout in the category. It's safe to say Henderson will be a fixture in the heart of Baltimore's potent offense for years to come.
