Wendle went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and another RBI during Thursday's victory over Baltimore.

Wendle evened the score, 6-6, with a two-run shot against Travis Lakins in the fourth inning. The 30-year-old now has hit six home runs and scored 21 runs this season while batting .261/.321/.401.

Adames went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in a win over the Orioles in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader.

Adames got the scoring started early in the second part of the twin bill with a first-inning, three-run blast off Bruce Zimmermann. It was the sixth home run of the year for the 25-year-old, who is leading qualifying Rays hitters with a .266 batting average.

Crawford went 1-for-5 with two RBI in the Mariners' 6-4 loss to the Giants on Thursday. He also struck out three times.

Despite the timely knock, Crawford slid further into what is now a 4-for-26 slump. The 25-year-old is slashing .233/.337/.668 through 163 at-bats in 2020.

Correa went 0-for-3 in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to the Rangers.

Correa survived a scare Tuesday when he fouled a ball off his ankle that forced him to leave that night's game. He's appeared in 48 of Houston's 49 games, the first time in four seasons Correa has not missed significant time due to injury.

Anderson went 1-for-4 and was caught stealing in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Twins.

Anderson extended his hit streak to five games (13-for-23) and has hit safely in 12 of 14 September games. He's owned the month for two seasons. In 2019, he slashed .374/.400/.566 over 23 games on his way to the AL batting title. This season, he's slashing .450/.477/.600 over 14 games and is tied with the Yankees' DJ LeMahieu for tops in the AL.

Crawford went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and two doubles in Wednesday's 9-3 win over the Mariners.

Crawford smacked his first double in the second inning and scored on a Mauricio Dubon single. In the seventh, Crawford added a solo shot for the Giants' final run. The shortstop is now slashing .281/.349/.459 with five homers, 18 RBI, 22 runs scored and a stolen base through 43 contests. This was his second multi-hit effort in 10 games in September.

Correa (ankle) is starting Wednesday against the Rangers.

Correa left Tuesday's game after fouling a ball off his left ankle, and X-rays revealed a bone bruise. However, he'll be able to return to the field Wednesday, playing shortstop and batting seventh.

Edman, who went 2-for-4 with a run in a loss to the Brewers on Tuesday, is hitting .318 (7-for-22) with a home run, two RBI, five walks, a stolen base and four runs across his last six games entering Wednesday's doubleheader.

The versatile 25-year-old continues to serve as a highly valuable defensive asset for manager Mike Shildt, but he's certainly picking up his contributions at the plate. Helping Edman to progressively increase his presence on the basepaths has been an improved walk rate, a figure that's up to 7.2 percent this year after sitting at 4.6 percent in his 2019 rookie campaign.

The Mariners reinstated Crawford (personal) from the bereavement list Wednesday.

Crawford missed five games after leaving the team last week following a death in his family. Now that he's been reinstated, Crawford should step back in as the Mariners' everyday shortstop and primary leadoff option in Wednesday's "home" game against the Giants in San Francisco.

Fletcher went 3-for-5 with a double, a run and an RBI in a loss to Arizona on Tuesday.

Fletcher had gone an uncharacteristic 1-for-10 in his first two games after returning from an ankle injury, but he looked more like his usual self with Tuesday's three-hit effort. The performance was Fletcher's sixth this season with at least three hits, five of which have come over his last 13 games. The 26-year-old is slashing .308/.371/.428 with an impressive 11.2 percent strikeout rate over 178 plate appearances this season.
