Reyes went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a home run, two RBI and three runs scored Wednesday against the White Sox.

Reyes played a big role in the team's win Wednesday, highlighted by a two-run homer in the fifth inning. It was his seventh since joining the Indians on July 30, but his 34th of the season. Reyes has been hitting the ball well of late, recording at least one hit in nine of 11 games. In that same span, he's smacked five homers, compiled 15 RBI and scored 12 runs. For the season, Reyes is hitting .254/.316/.531 across 474 plate appearances.

Pederson (abdomen) is in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Manager Dave Roberts expected Pederson to return Wednesday, and he will do just that after sitting out Tuesday with his abdominal bruise. Pederson will man right field and hit leadoff against Rockies starter Antonio Senzatela.

Dickerson is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

Dickerson's absence is notable because he will be held out against a right-handed starter for just the second time since returning from the injured list Aug. 16. Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle noted that Dickerson did not look comfortable during any of his at-bats in Tuesday's contest, so he may still be dealing with the effects of the oblique injury that landed him on the injured list in the first place. The Giants have not commented on Dickerson's health of late, but if he is indeed not 100 percent, that could mean more playing time for Jaylin Davis and Austin Slater the rest of the way.

Ramirez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, according to Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald.

Ramirez will be held out Wednesday in favor of fellow outfielder Magneuris Sierra. Ramirez started 11 of 12 games leading up to Wednesday's contest, so chances are he will be back in action for Thursday's series finale.

Carpenter is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

Tommy Edman starts at third base for the third consecutive contest. Wednesday's game is against lefty Madison Bumgarner, but Carpenter's absences Monday and Tuesday were against righties. Manager Mike Shildt told FOX Sports Midwest in mid-August that Edman had "more than earned his opportunity to get out there and play every day," and it seems most of Edman's starts will come at Carpenter's expense. Carpenter is batting just .215/.325/.366 in 429 plate appearances this season.

Ozuna went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in a win over the Giants on Tuesday.

Ozuna's 393-foot shot to left in the sixth inning turned out to be the only run scored by either squad. The round tripper snapped a couple of dubious streaks for the veteran outfielder -- it marked his first home run since Aug. 23, while also helping end the 0-for-19 skid that had encompassed his prior five games.

Manager Dave Roberts said he expects Pederson (abdomen) to return to the lineup Wednesday against the Rockies, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Pederson was withheld from the starting nine in Tuesday's 5-3 win after bruising his abdominal area when he collided with the outfield wall in Monday's series opener. Roberts characterized Pederson's absence as precautionary, so assuming that he experiences no renewed soreness following the day off, the outfielder should slot back into the leadoff spot Wednesday.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over Colorado on Tuesday.

Turner plated an insurance run with a 409-foot blast to left field in the eighth inning. The long ball was his 27th of the season, tying his career high. The 34-year-old has racked up five homers in his last nine games and is tied for third in the majors with 17 home runs since the All-Star break.

Stanton (knee) took live batting practice Tuesday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Stanton faced rehabbing reliever Dellin Betances (lat) in the session and launched a home run while also striking out. The slugger has been out with a knee injury since June 25 and has been ramping up his activity of late in hopes of rejoining the Yankees by the end of the season.

Soler went 3-for-3 with a three-run homer, a stolen base and a walk in Tuesday's win over Detroit.

Soler crushed a 431-foot long ball with two men on base in the third inning to give the Royals an early lead. The home run was Soler's 39th of the season to establish the franchise single-season record. The 27-year-old also became the first Royal since Eric Hosmer in 2016 to reach the 100-RBI mark.
