Choi (ribs) has begun a swinging progression, MLB.com reports.

Choi landed on the injured list two weeks ago with a left rib strain but is starting to ramp things back up. He could be back by mid-September if all goes well and would figure to share first base and designated hitter duties with Garrett Cooper once ready.

Vogelbach went 1-for-1 with a solo home run and a walk Wednesday in a 6-5 extra-inning win over the Tigers.

Vogelbach put the Mets on the board in the second inning with a 386-foot solo shot and added a walk in the third. However, with the bases loaded and one out in the fifth, manager Buck Showalter pulled Vogelbach in favor of Francisco Alvarez, who grounded into a double play. That move was against a southpaw, so it came as little surprise, as Vogelbach has gone 0-for-15 with eight strikeouts against lefties this year. The slugger has gone deep six times and driven in 13 runs over his past 16 games, so he's not the worst option for fantasy managers looking for power on the waiver wire, though it's a foregone conclusion that he'll rarely play against left-handed hurlers.

Martinez (groin) will embark on a two-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City before likely returning for the Dodgers' upcoming series against Washington, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The Dodgers' series with the Nationals will run from Sept. 8-10, though it is unclear exactly which game Martinez will be activated for. The veteran slugger landed on the 10-day IL with left groin tightness on Aug. 22 and was slashing .200/.304/.300 across 23 plate appearances in August prior to getting injured.

Soler (hip) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Soler departed Tuesday's loss to Tampa Bay when his hip tightened up on him after a swing. He dealt with a hip issue at times last season as well, though it's not clear whether the injury he picked up Tuesday is related. For now, the slugger is considered day-to-day. Josh Bell is in the designated hitter spot Wednesday with Yuli Gurriel at first base.

Vientos went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers.

The rookie ruined a combined shutout bid for Texas by driving a 100.6-mph Aroldis Chapman fastball the other way to right-center field in the ninth inning. Vientos has started three straight games since recovering from a wrist injury and coming off the IL -- two at third base and one at DH -- but if Brett Baty (.298/.396/.649 at Triple-A since his demotion with a 21.6 percent strikeout rate) rejoins the roster in September, Vientos could lose most of his playing time at the hot corner. Vientos has done little to show he deserves a regular spot in the lineup, slashing .195/.234/.305 over 137 plate appearances in the majors this season with three homers and 11 RBI.

Harper went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a solo homer and an additional run scored in Tuesday's victory over the Angels.

Harper launched another no-doubt home run Tuesday, a solo shot that ricocheted off the second-deck facade to tie the game at 1-1 in the second inning. His hot streak has boosted his season-long home run total to 14 to go along with a .309 batting average, .899 OPS, 53 RBI, 65 runs, and seven steals across 98 games.

Ozuna went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Tuesday's 3-1 victory over Colorado.

Ozuna connected on a solo home run in the second inning off Peter Lambert, marking the outfielders' sixth home run of his last eight games. Over that stretch, Ozuna is 15-for-30 (.500) with 11 runs scored and 13 RBI. He's also collected a hit in 24 of his last 25 games and is slashing .267/.340/.529 on the season (115 games).

Soler exited Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay due to right hip tightness, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Soler was clearly uncomfortable after a swing and miss in the seventh inning, though it wasn't immediately obvious what was bothering him. There is still no word on how long Soler may be out, but it's possible the Marlins give him at least a day off to recover.

Soler was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rays with an apparent injury, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.

Soler threw down his bat after swinging and missing at a pitch during the seventh inning. At the moment, it's unclear what exactly is bothering Soler, but the Marlins should provide more details shortly. Until then, he should be considered day-to-day.

Pederson isn't in the Giants' lineup Tuesday against the Reds, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

The Giants will face their fourth consecutive left-handed starter Tuesday, so Pederson will remain in the dugout to begin the game. He's been able to enter each of San Francisco's last three games off the bench, but the Giants will send Mitch Haniger, Austin Slater and Luis Matos into the outfield and project to roll with that configuration at least until starter Brandon Williamson is relieved.
