Wisdom went 2-for-3 with a walk, two doubles and an RBI in Thursday's win over the Phillies.

Wisdom had two of his team's seven hits, leading the Cubs to a 2-0 victory. The infielder is batting just .212 this season with a strikeout rate of 33.7 percent, though he's provided decent fantasy value with 25 home runs, 27 doubles and 66 RBI across 130 games. This was his first multi-hit game since Aug. 14.

McMahon isn't starting Thursday against the Giants, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

McMahon is getting a day off after he went 3-for-18 with two solo homers, three runs and nine strikeouts over the last four games. Alan Trejo will take over at the hot corner and bat second.

Walls is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Walls has a .561 OPS through 21 games in September and will head to the bench for Thursday's series finale. Jonathan Aranda will step in at the keystone and bat leadoff.

Suarez went 3-for-3 with an RBI double and a walk in a win over the Rangers on Wednesday.

Suarez served in the DH role for the second time in as many games following his return from the injured list, and he was the Mariners' most productive hitter on the night overall. The veteran's first-inning double erased an early 1-0 deficit by plating Dylan Moore, while the multi-hit effort was his first since Sept. 11. Suarez's 85 RBI are also his best showing in that category since 2019, and he's now sporting a 97-point improvement over his 2021 OPS of .714.

Moncada (foot) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.

Moncada was held out of Wednesday's lineup with a sore foot, and he will sit out Thursday for a second straight game. Josh Harrison will man the hot corner in Moncada's place.

Urshela went 3-for-4 with a double and three runs scored in Wednesday's win over the White Sox.

Urshela notched a double off righty starter Johnny Cueto during his three-hit, three-run affair. The third baseman has been heating up of late, going 10-for-16 with two doubles, two RBI and five runs over his last four games.

Escobar went 3-for-5 with a home run and five RBI in Wednesday's 5-4 victory over the Marlins.

Escobar put the team on his back Wednesday with a two-run homer off lefty starter Jesus Luzardo in the seventh inning, a two-run single to tie the game in the eighth and a walk-off RBI single in the 10th. The third baseman has accumulated nine multi-hit games in his last 20, including two three-hit games in his last three contests. In addition, the 33-year-old has tallied 11 RBI over his last five games.

Farmer went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Pirates.

Farmer took Chase De Jong deep in the ninth inning for his 14th homer of the season. Six of those long balls have come in September, and Farmer has also tacked on 17 RBI and 10 runs scored for the month. Despite the hot stretch, Farmer still has a pedestrian .255/.315/.390 line across 560 plate appearances on the campaign.

Rendon (wrist) was activated from the 60-day injured list and will begin serving his five-game suspension Wednesday against the Athletics, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The 32-year-old seemed likely to be out for the season after he underwent wrist surgery in June, but he progressed to hitting against live pitching this week and will rejoin the Angels for the final week of the season. Rendon will first serve a five-game suspension stemming from a brawl with the Mariners shortly after the wrist surgery, and he'll be eligible to take the field for Monday in Oakland for the final three games of the campaign.

Moncada isn't starting Wednesday against the Twins due to a bone bruise on the top of his foot, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Moncada sustained his injury when fouling a ball off his foot late in Tuesday's loss to the Twins, and he'll undergo X-rays to determine the extent of the issue. He's considered day-to-day for now, but Josh Harrison should see increased time at third base if Moncada is forced to miss additional time.
