Lewis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-5 loss to the Astros.

Lewis extended the Mariners' lead in the fifth with a solo home run to left to make it a 5-2 ballgame. It was the 25-year-old's second long ball in three games, though Lewis has gotten off to a slow start overall, slashing just .154/.214/.423 with a 2:8 BB:K over his first seven games since coming off the injured list.

Torrens went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-5 loss to the Astros.

Torrens was involved in the Mariners' first four runs of the game. He led off the third by taking the first pitch he saw deep to center field for a solo home run -- the second long ball of his young career. Torrens came back up to the plate the following inning with two men on after back-to-back walks by Zack Greinke and roped a double down the left-field line, scoring both runners and giving the Mariners their first lead of the evening. These were Torrens' first hits since April 15 and his first RBI since April 2. He's struggled mightily swinging that bat, slashing .190/.242/.293 with just four RBI, five runs scored and a 3:15 BB:K.

Solak batted second and went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Angels.

Solak's recent hot streak has prompted manager Chris Woodward to move him up to the two-hole, regardless of the opposing starter's handedness. "I just want him up there as many times as possible," the manager told Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News. "His at-bats against right and left are just as good." Solak, who belted two home runs Tuesday, is batting .393 (22-for-56) with six homers, 12 RBI and 13 runs scored over the last 15 games.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Wednesday's win over the Reds.

Turner launched his sixth homer of the season in the third inning , a solo shot off Sonny Gray. The veteran third baseman has hit safely in four of his last five games, though it's worth noting he hasn't recorded more than one knock since April 16 -- a span of 11 games during which he's hit just .194.

Soler went 3-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Pirates.

Soler has been extremely inconsistent so far and was coming off three straight hitless appearances before breaking out here -- the three hits tied a season-high mark for the outfielder, who also ended a streak of four games without an RBI. Soler has had just four multi-hit games this season and is hitting .213 with a .705 OPS across 88 plate appearances in 2021.

Miller went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Wednesday against the Cardinals.

Miller led off for the third consecutive game and delivered a game-tying two-run homer in the fifth frame. It was his second home run of the campaign. After a brief absence due to a neck injury, Miller has collected one hit in four consecutive games, though Wednesday's long ball was his first extra-base hit in that span. For the season, Miller is hitting .344/.382/.531 with five runs scored and five RBI across 34 plate appearances.

Harper (face) underwent a CT scan and said "everything came back good" after leaving Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

The 28-year-old was hit in the face by a 97 mph fastball during the sixth inning Wednesday, and the initial test brought back good news. Harper should be considered day-to-day as he continues to be evaluated, and the Phillies seem likely to exercise caution with their star outfielder. The series finale versus St. Louis is Thursday afternoon, and he could be sidelined for at least that game given the quick turnaround.

Stanton went 3-for-5 with two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Orioles.

All three of Stanton's hits were singles. In the third inning, he scored on Gio Urshela's three-run home run. Stanton also scored on an Aaron Hicks sacrifice fly in the fifth inning. The 31-year-old Stanton is slashing .229/.289/.470 with six home runs, 15 RBI and 11 runs scored across 90 plate appearances. He's gone 10-for-26 (.385) during a six-game hitting streak.

Ford went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Orioles.

Ford opened the scoring with a second-inning solo shot off Orioles starter Dean Kremer. The 28-year-old Ford has seen only limited playing time in 2021 with two homers, three RBI and three runs scored in five games. He's only collected three hits and three walks in 21 plate appearances -- good for a mediocre .286 on-base percentage.

Harper was removed Wednesday's game against the Cardinals after being hit by a pitch in the face, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

The 28-year-old was bleeding from a cut near his nose after being struck in the face by a 97 mph fastball during the sixth inning, though he was able to leave the field under his own power. He went 0-for-2 before being forced to exit the contest. Harper figures to be evaluated for a concussion and should be considered day-to-day until the team updates his status.
