Pederson went 2-for-6 with a three-run home run, two additional RBI and two additional runs scored during Wednesday's 20-3 win over the Angels.

Pederson lifted his fifth home run of August with a three-run blast off Jack Kochanowicz in the second inning and extended his hit streak to seven games. The 33-year-old slugger set season highs in runs scored and RBI during the offensive outburst. His previous best RBI total was two. During his hit streak, Pederson has gone 9-for-28 (.321) with nine RBI and five runs scored.

Alvarez went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored during Wednesday's 4-0 win over Colorado.

Alvarez was activated from the injured list ahead of Tuesday's series opener and went hitless with two walks in four plate appearances in his return. He walked twice more Wednesday and delivered his first hit since coming back by launching a two-run home run off Angel Chivilli in the fourth inning. Alvarez slashed .210/.306/.340 with three home runs across 121 plate appearances before being placed on the injured list back in May.

Rice went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 11-2 win over the Nationals.

The Yankees launched six homers in total on the afternoon, with Rice's coming off Shinnosuke Ogasawara as part of a nine-run third inning -- only his sixth long ball of the season off a left-hander, compared to 16 off righties. Rice has bashed his way into a strong-side platoon role for New York as he splits his time between first base and catcher, and over his last 10 games he's batting .353 (12-for-34) with a double, a triple, five homers, eight runs and 11 RBI.

Larnach is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Toronto.

The left-handed-hitting Larnach doesn't always sit against lefties, but he'll take a seat Wednesday as the Blue Jays send southpaw Eric Lauer to the bump. Edouard Julien -- who also swings left-handed -- will be in the designated-hitter spot and will bat ninth for the Twins.

Stanton is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Stanton will receive a breather for the series finale after he starred in Tuesday's 5-1 win, going 2-for-3 with a home run, a double and five RBI. With Stanton on the bench, the Yankees will have a spot in the lineup available for Jasson Dominguez, who covers left field while Cody Bellinger shifts over to Stanton's spot in right.

Alvarez went 0-for-2 with two walks Tuesday against the Rockies.

Alvarez made his long-awaited return from the injured list Tuesday, marking his first time in the lineup since April 28. After primarily serving as the designated hitter before his injury, Alvarez started in left field and hit fourth Tuesday. Alvarez went 7-for-15 on a rehab assignment, so rust may not be a significant issue early in his return.

Manzardo started at first base and went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Rays.

Manzardo singled in the Guardians' first run in a three-run first inning that provided all the scoring in the game. It was just the second win in the last 10 games for Cleveland, which may be pivoting from playoff contender to preparing next year's team. The organization placed the 39-year-old Carlos Santana on outright waivers Tuesday, freeing up first base for Manzardo, who has started three of the last four games there, and C.J. Kayfus.

Keith went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Athletics.

Keith's blast tied the game at 5-5 in the fifth inning. He entered the contest in an 0-for-11 slump at the plate. The infielder is up to a .264/.343/.433 slash line, 12 homers, 40 RBI, 58 runs scored and one stolen base through 118 games this season. Keith remains in a strong-side platoon role and has seen the bulk of his playing time come at third base lately.

Gasper went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over Toronto.

Gasper was 2-for-3 with a run scored before belting a clutch, game-tying shot in the ninth inning. It was his first career home run and his first hit since July 26. He entered Tuesday's game in an 0-for-26 slump before the three-hit performance. Gasper owns a .491 OPS through 77 MLB plate appearances this season.

Springer went 4-for-5 with two solo homers and four runs scored in Tuesday's loss to Minnesota.

Springer singled and scored in the first inning before knocking the first of his two home runs in the second. He went deep again in the fifth before ending his big night with another single and run scored in the ninth. Since returning from the injured list, Springer has gone 16-for-42 (.381) with six home runs in 10 games. He's having a terrific bounce-back campaign, slashing .301/.388/.541 with 44 extra-base hits and 79 runs scored through 111 contests.
