  • Orlando Arcia SS | MIN

    Brewers' Orlando Arcia: Joins hit parade

    Arcia went 4-for-6 with a double and three runs in Wednesday's victory over the Tigers.

    Arcia joined the Brewers' hit parade Wednesday, accounting for four of the 21 hits the club banged out. Of the 29 hits Arcia has recorded this season, 10 have come in three games, but that doesn't change the fact he hitting .257 and owns a .328 OBP -- a mark that tops the number he finished with in each of his four other seasons in the big leagues.

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Could return this weekend

    Bichette (knee) could return from the 10-day injured list this weekend for the Blue Jays' home series against the Mets, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

    He has been out since Aug. 15 with a right knee sprain and has been playing the field in recent days at the alternate training site. The Blue Jays have gone 17-9 since Bichette went down and currently hold a playoff spot. Once activated, Bichette will look to extend the nine-game hit streak he had before getting hurt.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Braves' Dansby Swanson: Records three hits in win

    Swanson went 3-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and five runs scored Wednesday as the Braves pummeled the Marlins, 29-9.

    Swanson got on base in five of his six at-bats (three singles, a walk and a hit-by-pitch) and came around to score all five times in Atlanta's blowout win. The 26-year-old has reached safely at least four times in three of the last four games and will take a .306/.372/.482 slash line into Thursday's series opener against Austin Voth and the Nationals.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Rockies' Trevor Story: Smacks 10th homer

    Story went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Padres.

    Story took Zach Davies yard in the first inning for his 10th home run of the season. It was his first homer since Aug. 24, though he has stolen eight bases in that 13-game span. Story has delivered across the box score all season, as he's maintained a .292/.367/.554 line with 34 runs scored and 22 RBI across 188 plate appearances.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Rays' Willy Adames: On base thrice in loss

    Adames went 1-for-2 with two walks in a loss to the Nationals on Tuesday.

    The 25-year-old shortstop pushed his season on-base percentage to an impressive .376 with Tuesday's busy night. In the process, Adames snapped a brief 0-for-12 skid that had encompassed his last three games. Largely on the strength of a 5-for-7 tally over his first two games of the month, he's still hitting a solid .286 through his first six September contests.

  • Jon Berti 3B | CHC

    Marlins' Jon Berti: Remains out Wednesday

    Berti (finger) remains out of the lineup Wednesday against Atlanta.

    Berti will remain out of the lineup for a second consecutive game after bruising his finger Monday. It's unclear when he'll return to the field, but he isn't expected to spend time on the injured list. Jazz Chisholm will start at second base Wednesday.

  • Jose Barrero SS | BAL

    Reds' Jose Garcia: Sitting out again

    Garcia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

    Garcia will hit the bench for the second time in three games, this time giving way to Freddy Galvis at shortstop after Kyle Farmer received the nod in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Pirates. Though the Reds don't appear ready to pull the plug on Garcia as their everyday shortstop just yet, the 22-year-old has gotten off to an underwhelming 5-for-34 (.147 average) start to his big-league career.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Rockies' Trevor Story: Steals in three straight games

    Story went 1-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 14-5 loss to the Padres.

    Story hit a double in the first inning and stole third base before coming home on a Nolan Arenado homer. In the fifth, Story's fielder's choice plated Tony Wolters. The stolen base was Story's fourth in his last three games and 13th of the season. He's slashing .293/.370/.543 with nine homers, 21 RBI and 33 runs scored through 41 contests.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Plates three runs against Giants

    Crawford went 1-for-4 with a double, three RBI, a run scored and a walk in Tuesday's loss against the Giants.

    Crawford might have produced just one knock at the top of the order, but it was a significant one -- he cleared the bases with a three-RBI double in the top of the second. Crawford has gone seven straight games without a multi-hit effort, though, and he is hitting just .154 with a .659 OPS in that span. Perhaps Tuesday's three-RBI effort could boost his confidence moving forward, as the shortstop has struggled offensively during most of the campaign.

  • Braves' Johan Camargo: Optioned to alternate site

    Camargo was optioned to Atlanta's alternate training site Wednesday.

    Adeiny Hechavarria had already started to cut into Camargo's playing time, so with Ozzie Albies (wrist) getting activated, this was a natural corresponding move. He has a .200/.244/.367 slash line on the season.
