Correa went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer in Thursday's 3-2 win over Tampa Bay.

Correa's three-run long ball off Ryan Yarbrough in the fourth inning broke a scoreless tie and proved to be enough offense for the Astros. It was the 25th homer of the year for Correa, who had gone his previous seven games without an extra-base hit. The free-agent-to-be is slashing .277/.363/.480 with 91 RBI in 631 plate appearances this season.

Bichette went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Yankees.

He took Gerrit Cole deep in the third inning to give the Jays a 4-0 lead, and then after the Yankees rallied to tie things up at 5-5 in the seventh, Bichette responded with his second blast of the night off Clay Holmes in the eighth. The 23-year-old is doing everything he can to get Toronto to the playoffs, reeling off three straight multi-hit performances and slashing .336/.360/.570 through 27 games in September with seven homers, four steals, 20 RBI and 21 runs.

Perdomo started at shortstop and went 2-for-3 in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to San Francisco.

Perdomo, who was called up Sunday, made his second start in three games while serving as a pinch hitter in the other. He's hit in all three contests, going 4-for-6 with a double and a walk. He and Josh Rojas are sharing shortstop until the end of the season with Nick Ahmed (shoulder) done for the year. Looking ahead to 2022, the 31-year-old Ahmed still has two years left on his deal and the versatile Rojas has earned an everyday spot somewhere. It looks like Perdomo will build off the success he achieved in August at Double-A Amarillo while beginning 2022 at Triple-A Reno.

Seager went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer, two doubles, three RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 11-9 win over the Padres.

Seager doubled his first time up and later scored on a base hit from Trea Turner as part of a four-run opening frame. He later doubled again in the fifth, this time driving home a run before eventually delivering a game-deciding two-run blast in the eighth to put the Dodgers up 11-9. The 27-year-old now has three home runs and five RBI over his last three games and has put together eight multi-hit performances this month. Seager has not appeared to miss a step despite missing two and a half months over the summer with a broken hand. Since returning to the big club July 30, he's slashing .314/.404/.539 with nine homers, 31 RBI, 29 runs scored and 29:35 BB:K over 54 games.

Story went 4-for-4 with a walk and three runs scored in Wednesday's 10-5 win over Washington.

The shortstop appears set to end the year on a hot run, as he's gone 7-for-11 with three walks, a home run and a double in his last three games. Story's hits Wednesday were all singles, but the four-hit effort lifted his slash line to .253/.331/.477 through 586 plate appearances. He's added 24 home runs, 19 stolen bases, 74 RBI and 88 runs scored as one of Colorado's best hitters even in a somewhat disappointing season by his standards.

Swanson went 3-for-4 and drove in a pair of runs during Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Phillies.

Swanson enjoyed his first three-hit performance since mid-August by producing a trio of singles, the last of which brought home a pair of runs in the seventh inning. Swanson has endured a rough month of September, hitting just .171 with four extra-base hits, but he's currently working on a five-game on-base streak.

Anderson was handed a three-game suspension for making contact with an umpire during Monday's game against the Tigers. He is appealing the ban and remains in the lineup Wednesday versus the Reds, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Anderson can continue to play until the appeal is heard and decided upon, so he's still starting at shortstop and batting leadoff Wednesday. The suspension apparently won't have an impact on the playoffs, so there's no concern about the ban carrying over from the regular season. The 28-year-old may end up serving the suspension in 2022 if the appeal isn't heard ahead of the final game of the regular season Sunday.

Edman isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Milwaukee, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Edman has gone 2-for-18 with two strikeouts across the last four games, and he'll get his first day off in over a month after the Cardinals clinched a postseason spot Tuesday. Jose Rondon will start at the keystone and bat seventh.

Adames (quadriceps) is starting Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

Adames was removed from Tuesday's lineup as a precautionary measure due to left quadriceps discomfort, but he'll be back in the lineup a day later. The 26-year-old will start at shortstop and bat second.

Mondesi is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Cleveland.

He'll get a routine maintenance day while Hanser Alberto checks in for him at third base. Over 21 games since returning from the injured list Sept. 1, Mondesi is slashing a meager .187/.237/.307, but he's worthy of a roster spot in every league thanks to a 13-for-13 success rate on stolen-base attempts.
