Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 4-3, extra-innings win over Milwaukee on Wednesday.

Bogaerts plated the Padres' first run with a solo shot to left field in the third inning. The long ball snapped a 25-game stretch without a homer for the veteran shortstop, who batted a meager .205 with only four RBI during the power drought. Bogaerts has now belted double-digit home runs in 11 straight seasons, though he hasn't reached 20 long balls since the 2021 campaign, when he was still with Boston.

Pena has hit safely in 13 straight games for Single-A St. Lucie, slashing .375/.444/.607 over that span with four doubles, three home runs, two steals, 11 RBI and 15 runs.

The 18-year-old shortstop is doing everything he can to earn a promotion to High-A Brooklyn before the end of 2026. Pena collected the first multi-homer game of his young pro career during that stretch, launching two solo shots against Jupiter on Tuesday. Per Max Ralph of MLB.com, Pena smoked three balls in that contest with exit velocities of 100 mph or greater.

Perdomo went 2-for-6 with a run scored in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Rockies.

Perdomo was back at shortstop and led off for the Diamondbacks after missing one game due to a knee issue. The multi-hit effort was his sixth in the last 12 contests, during which Perdomo is 18-for-48 (.375) with four extra-base hits (one home run), five RBI and six runs scored.

Betts went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Royals.

Betts has 15 home runs on the year, including homers in back-to-back games. The shortstop has gone 11-for-26 (.423) over his last seven games, picking up four extra-base hits and three RBI in that span. The strong hitting is encouraging, especially considering his struggles earlier in the year. Overall, Betts is batting .239 with a .714 OPS, 39 RBI, 47 runs scored, 13 doubles and one stolen base across 84 contests.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two additional runs scored and two total RBI in Wednesday's 12-6 win over the Nationals.

While Swanson was overshadowed by Alex Bregman, who exploded for a career-best three home runs and seven RBI, the veteran shortstop still put together a strong fantasy performance. His batting average has been lagging all season, though he's been able to offset that to some degree with 18 home runs and 16 stolen bases through 116 games. Swanson may frustrate on a day-to-day basis due to his low batting average, but he's still capable of posting big stat lines, and he's closing in on his second straight 20-20 campaign.

Jarvis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Jarvis will hit the bench along with fellow left-handed hitter Mike Yastrzemski while the Mets send southpaw Zac Thornton to the bump for the series finale. Mauricio Dubon will spell Jarvis at shortstop and will bat sixth.

Giants manager Tony Vitello said after Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Astros that the back issues Adames has been working through are unlikely to require a stint on the injured list, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Adames has been working through a back injury that he aggravated during the seventh inning of Wednesday's loss. He's set to have at least two days of rest, given that the Giants are off Thursday and that he's likely to held out of the lineup for Friday's series opener against the Rockies. Christian Koss is in line to see more infield reps for as long as Adames is sidelined.

Adames was removed from Wednesday's game against the Astros in the eighth inning due to a back injury, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Adames' back appeared to tighten up on him when he attempted a double play in the seventh inning. The Giants should provide an update on Adames once he undergoes further tests on his back. Christian Koss shifted from third base to replace Adames at shortstop in the top of the eighth inning, with Buddy Kennedy entering the game at the hot corner.

Tovar is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Tovar will sit for the second time in the series while the Rockies go with Cole Carrigg at shortstop in the finale. Though he's posted a career-worst .580 OPS over 404 plate appearances on the season, Tovar has heated up a bit in August, slashing .310/.344/.448 through his first nine contests of the month.

The Rockies recalled Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

Amador is in the midst of his third season as a member of the Rockies' 40-man roster, but he had been playing exclusively at Triple-A in 2026 until receiving a call-up Wednesday. The 23-year-old recorded 11 home runs and 11 steals while slashing .261/.370/.432 in 393 plate appearances for Albuquerque, though that still made him a below-league-average producer with a 94 wRC+ in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League. While Amador has been used solely at second base during his time in the majors over the previous two seasons, he's also dabbled at shortstop and left field at Albuquerque in 2026.
