Bemboom had his contract selected by the Orioles on Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Bemboom was designated for assignment by the Orioles in late May and spent the rest of the campaign at Triple-A Norfolk, where he posted a .228/.292/.350 slash line in 34 games. The 32-year-old was scheduled to become a minor-league free agent during the offseason, but the move to the 40-man roster will keep him with the organization for now.

McCann went 3-for-4 with three-run home run in Wednesday's win over the Nationals.

McCann singled in his first at-bat before coming back with a three-run homer to left in the bottom of the third to run the score up to 9-0. He later added another single in the eighth, giving him just his second three-hit game of the season. It was also his first home run since July 7, as he finished the year with a career-worst .539 OPS and only three long balls in 61 games.

Moreno went 4-for-7 with a three-run home run and four runs scored across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Orioles.

Moreno had a strong showing in both games of the doubleheader, but the highlight came in the sixth inning of the opening contest, when he tallied his first career homer. He's bounced between Triple-A Buffalo and the big-league club this season, though he's rarely been in the lineup since being recalled Sept. 7. Moreno only has 73 plate appearances in the majors, but he has maintained an impressive .319/.356/.377 line in that span while striking out just 11 percent of the time.

Vazquez went 1-for-1 with a solo homer in Wednesday's win over the Phillies.

Vazquez entered the game in the sixth inning and crushed a solo home run in the seventh to extend the Astros' lead to 3-0. It was a nice finish to the regular season for Vazquez, who came into the game hitting just .161 since the start of September. It was also his first home run since July 22.

Heim went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's win over the Yankees.

Heim took Domingo German deep for a solo shot in the bottom of the fourth inning, tying the game at 2-2. The homer was his 16th of the season and third in his last 15 games. Heim will finish the regular season with 16 home runs, 48 RBI, 51 runs and two stolen bases while posting a .227 average over 406 at-bats in 127 games.

Trevino went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers.

Trevino ripped a single in the top of the second inning before he later launched a solo homer off Glenn Otto in the fourth frame. The home run was his 11th of the year and first since Aug. 2. The catcher has struggled to .177 average with three extra-base hits, six RBI and two runs over 62 at-bats in 21 games since the beginning of September. He'll finish the regular season with a .248 average, 11 home runs, 43 RBI, 39 runs and two stolen bases over 335 at-bats in 115 games with the Yankees.

Sanchez went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run, four RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the White Sox.

Sanchez got things started for the Twins in the top of the first inning with a three-run blast to put Minnesota on the board. He then hit an RBI double in the second inning to put his squad up 7-0. The big day comes as he was 0-for-20 with eight strikeouts in his last five games, inching his batting average towards the dreaded Mendoza line. On the season, he finishes with a .205/.282/.377 line with 16 home runs over 128 games.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Diaz caught in both of the Rockies' last two games, so he'll be getting some maintenance in a day game Wednesday. Brian Serven will handle catching duties in the season finale.

Rutschman isn't starting the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Rutschman started behind the plate during Wednesday's matinee and went 0-for-4 with a strikeout. He'll get a breather for the nightcap while Robinson Chirinos starts at catcher and bats ninth.

Nola isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Giants, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Nola went 2-for-3 with a run and an RBI during Tuesday's win over the Giants, but he'll take a seat for the second time in the last three games. Luis Campusano is starting at catcher and batting ninth.
