Choi went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Astros.

The 28-year-old walked and scored in the second inning before taking Gerrit Cole deep in the fourth. Choi continues to add to his career highs with 12 homers and 46 RBI, but his .771 OPS is a step back from the .863 mark he posted in 2018 while seeing less action against left-handed pitching.

Solak started at second base and went 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Angels.

Solak continues to deliver for the Rangers, having reached base safely in all nine games since joining the roster. This was his third start at second base in place of the slumping Rougned Odor. He is expected to be a mainstay in the lineup over the final month, not necessarily at second base, and could be the answer at that position in 2020 if the Rangers decide Odor's struggles at the plate are not fixable.

Martinez went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and another run scored during Wednesday's win over the Rockies.

Martinez hit his 32nd homer of the season with a 399-foot, two-run shot off Peter Lambert in the third inning. The 32-year-old now has eight home runs in August to assume the team lead and also boasts a .387 on-base percentage.

Canha went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Wednesday's loss to the Royals.

Canha stayed hot and gave Oakland the lead with a two-run homer off Jakob Junis in the fifth inning. The 30-year-old has now hit safely in 11 of the last 12 games, improving his season slash line to .277/.391/.548 with a career-high 23 long balls.

Cabrera (biceps) will sit Wednesday against Cleveland.

Cabrera left Tuesday's game with left biceps tightness and will get at least one day to rest. Ronny Rodriguez will be the designated hitter in his absence.

Stanton (knee) is close to facing live pitching, though the Yankees have yet to provide a precise timeline, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Stanton has been out with a knee injury since late June. He's been ramping up his activity lately, advancing to on-field batting practice Tuesday, and still has time to play a part over the final few weeks of the season. The Yankees have reason to be cautious with him given that they hold a 10.5-game lead in their division.

Solak started at designated hitter and went 1-for-3 with a walk in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Angels.

The Rangers are giving Solak regular work since he was added to the roster. He's appeared in all eight games while with the club, seven of them starts, and is hitting .320 (8-for-25) with three extra-base hits and two RBI.

Alvarez went 3-for-5 with a double, two home runs, three runs scored and four RBI in Tuesday's 15-1 rout of the Rays.

The rookie launched a three-run shot off Andrew Kittredge in the fifth inning, then added a solo shot in the seventh off Michael Brosseau after Tampa had thrown in the towel by using position players on the mound. Alvarez is slashing an eye-popping .329/.420/.703 through his first 60 big-league games with 21 homers and 62 RBI.

Jimenez started in left field and went 1-for-4 in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Twins.

This marked the first time Jimenez was in the outfield following a three-game stretch as the designated hitter while working through a sore hip.

Reyes went 2-for-3 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's win over the Tigers.

Reyes continued his offensive explosion and now has four home runs and 10 RBI in his last three games. The 24-year-old struggled early on after being acquired by the Indians (.466 OPS in 13 games), but since Aug. 11, he is 13-for-48 (.271 average) with two doubles, six homers, nine runs scored and 14 RBI.
