Farmer went 1-for-5 with a solo homer in Wednesday's 7-5 loss to the Phillies.

Farmer led off the fourth with a solo homer off lefty starter Cristopher Sanchez to cut Cincinnati's deficit to 6-2. The 32-year-old has hit well recently, recording one hit or more in 11 of his last 13 games with a .345 average in 55 at-bats during that span. The shortstop has been drastically better against left-handed pitching with a .947 OPS in 114 at-bats compared to a .605 OPS in 263 at-bats against righties.

Ramirez went 3-for-3 with two home runs, three RBI and a walk in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Padres.

Ramirez hit solo shots in the first and fourth innings off Padres starter Blake Snell and added a sacrifice fly in the seventh. It's been a week of milestones for Ramirez, who logged his 100th RBI of the year in Tuesday's contest and reached the 25-homer mark Wednesday. For the season, the third baseman is slashing .285/.355/.551 with 103 RBI, 69 runs scored and 14 stolen bases through 510 plate appearances. He's hitting .275 (22-for-80) with seven extra-base hits in August.

Newman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against Atlanta.

Newman took Kirby Yates yard in the ninth inning to record his first homer of the season. Despite the lack of power, Newman has recorded five multi-hit performances in his last 14 starts -- good for a .291 average. For the season, Newman is hitting .267 with 23 runs scored and five stolen bases across 52 games.

Arenado was ejected from Wednesday's game against the Cubs for arguing a called check-swing strike three, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Arenado was called out on a check swing by the home plate umpire to end the third inning, and the third baseman will head to the clubhouse early after disputing the call. The 31-year-old finished the contest 0-for-2 and should be back in the lineup for Thursday's series finale in Chicago.

Paredes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

The righty-hitting Paredes started in each of the previous five games, but three came with the opposition bringing lefties to the hill. Paredes' ability to play first base, third base and second base will allow him to receive occasional opportunities against right-handed pitching, but Ji-Man Choi, Yandy Diaz, Taylor Walls and Brandon Lowe are the primary candidates to fill out the four infield spots in those matchups.

Moustakas (calf) isn't starting Wednesday against the Phillies.

Moustakas exited Tuesday's loss to Philadelphia due to a left calf injury and will be held out of the lineup a day later. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available off the bench, but Donovan Solano will start at first base and bat cleanup.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with a walk, a triple, a run scored and an RBI in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Red Sox.

The veteran third baseman put together his first multi-hit effort since Aug. 8 as he continues to underperform his metrics. Chapman is sitting in the 96th percentile in the league in average exit velocity and 94th percentile in barrel rate, but all he has to show for it is a .236/.315/.467 slash line. His numbers have been even worse in August -- .174/.260/.391 through 19 games -- but half his 12 hits on the month have gone for extra bases, including four of his 24 homers on the year.

Bregman went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in a 4-2 win over the Twins on Tuesday.

Bregman powered the Astros to victory with his 19th home run of the season as part of a three-hit effort. Bregman has been red hot lately and is slashing an incredible .378/.453/.730 this month. The 28-year-old third baseman is well on pace to break the 20-homer mark for the first time since 2019, when he belted 41 long balls.

Walls went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Angels.

Walls delivered a single in the seventh inning and came around to score in the same frame to account for his production. The effort was only his third-multi hit game since the All-Star break, and Walls has hit just .190 -- albeit while generating a .333 on-base percentage -- with eight RBI and 13 runs scored across 29 games in that span. He figures to remain the Rays' primary shortstop until Wander Franco (wrist) is able to return.

Suarez went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Nationals.

Suarez has gone 7-for-28 (.250) in his last nine games, but he's also supplied five homers and 12 RBI in that span. The power-hitting third baseman is up to 23 long balls, 71 RBI, 60 runs scored and a .228/.333/.442 slash line through 122 contests this season. He should continue to see a near-everyday role in the middle third of the Mariners' lineup.
