Turner went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 9-6 loss to the Marlins.

He took Ross Detwiler deep in the third inning, one of three Dodger long balls in the frame. Turner is red hot right now, batting .410 (25-for-61) over his last 17 games to push his slash line on the year to .303/.393/.493 with 14 homers and 45 RBI through 81 contests.

Pederson went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Phillies.

Pederson had gone hitless in five straight games coming into Tuesday's contest but he's now strung together consecutive two-hit performances. The outfielder has always been a bit of a streaky performer, and the 43-44 Cubs are going to need him to get hot if they want to push themselves back into the NL Central race.

McCutchen went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Cubs.

McCutchen provided the majority of Philadelphia's offense for the evening with a two-run blast in the sixth inning. It was his 15th home run of the season and second in as many games. Though he's hitting only .233 on the campaign, McCutchen has a .351 on-base percentage and has scored 46 runs while driving in 48 across 79 contests.

Ohtani went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 5-4 win over Boston.

The 27-year-old extended his major-league leading homer total to 32 with a go-ahead solo shot in the fifth inning. Ohtani hasn't gone more than two games without a long ball since June 15. The two-way superstar is slashing .279/.364/.700 with 69 RBI, 63 runs scored and 12 stolen bases through 330 plate appearances.

Torrens is on the bench for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Torrens has hit .179 and tallied eight RBI in his last eight games, with four of his five hits being home runs. Tom Murphy gets a start at catcher Wednesday.

Choi will not start Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader as lefty Sam Hentges takes the ball for Cleveland, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Choi will get a breather after recording a walk while going hitless in Game 1. Yandy Diaz will start at first base as Wander Franco mans the hot corner.

Reyes isn't in the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Rays.

Reyes provided Cleveland's only run production in Wednesday's matinee, as he went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a strikeout. Jose Ramirez will serve as the designated hitter in the second game, while Ernie Clement starts at third base.

Cabrera isn't starting Wednesday against the Rangers.

Cabrera has recorded multi-hit games in five of his last eight appearances, but he'll get a breather for Wednesday's series finale after he went 2-for-11 with three runs, two walks and two strikeouts across the last three games. Eric Haase will serve as the designated hitter and bat fourth.

Collins isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Collins started Tuesday's game after Yasmani Grandal (knee) was placed on the injured list, and he went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI and a run. Seby Zavala will make his season debut behind the plate and bat ninth.

Solak is not starting Wednesday against the Tigers.

Solak is currently in the midst of a 3-for-23 skid at the plate, so he will get a breather Wednesday against right-hander Casey Mize. Eli White will shift to second base while David Dahl mans left field.
