Bo Bichette 3B | NYM
Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Showcases power and speed
Bichette went 5-for-5 with a solo home run, walk, three runs scored and two stolen bases Wednesday against the Marlins.
Bichette reached base each time he came to the plate, and smacked a clutch solo home run to lead off the eighth inning. It was his fourth home run of the season, but third in as many contests. Bichette was also active on the basepaths, swiping two bases to bring his stolen base total on the season to four. For the season, Bichette now has an excellent .352/.386/.648 line with 10 RBI and nine runs scored across 57 plate appearances.

Dansby Swanson SS | CHC
Braves' Dansby Swanson: Three hits in loss
Swanson went 3-for-5 with a run scored and a double in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Yankees.
Swanson got aboard with a double in the ninth inning and he scored on a Travis d'Arnaud single to cut the deficit to three, but that was as close as Atlanta got. The 26-year-old Swanson entered Wednesday with just two hits in his last 17 at-bats. He's hitting .276/.321/.421 with two homers, three stolen bases, 14 RBI and 15 runs scored in 20 games this season.

Johan Camargo SS | SF
Braves' Johan Camargo: Rips two-run homer
Camargo went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Yankees.
Camargo went deep off Yankees starter Masahiro Tanaka in the second inning, but the lead would be short-lived for Atlanta. Camargo has hit safely in three straight games, going 4-for-12 with two homers, four RBI and three runs scored in that span. He's hitting .212/.268/.442 with three homers, six RBI and eight runs scored in 17 games overall.

Corey Seager SS | TEX
Dodgers' Corey Seager: Remains out Wednesday
Seager (back) remains out of the lineup Wednesday against the Padres.
Seager was a full participant in pregame workouts Wednesday after working in the field Tuesday, but he'll continue to be held out of the lineup. No timetable has been established for his return, but he appears to be trending toward game readiness. The team could elect to use him as a designated hitter once he returns in order to ease him back into action. Chris Taylor will start at shortstop Wednesday, batting seventh.

Tim Anderson 2B | LAA
White Sox's Tim Anderson: Tallies four-hit game
Anderson went 4-for-5 with a solo home run, a triple and two additional runs scored in Wednesday's 7-5 win in Detroit.
The 27-year-old has produced immediately since coming off the injured list Tuesday, going 5-for-9 with a homer, a triple, five runs and a walk in two games. The injury didn't slow down Anderson's hot start to the season, and he now has a .385/.415/.692 slash line in 41 plate appearances.

Chris Owings SS | LAD
Rockies' Chris Owings: Exits with hamstring injury
Owings exited Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks with left hamstring tightness, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Owings was replaced in the field during the second inning as a precautionary measure. It's unclear how the injury occurred, but he'll be able to recover during the Rockies' off day Thursday. Whether he'll miss any time during the team's weekend series against Texas remains to be seen.

Orlando Arcia SS | MIN
Brewers' Orlando Arcia: Takes seat Wednesday
Arcia isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Twins.
Arcia recorded hits in each of the past two games, but he'll take a seat for the series finale against Minnesota. Eric Sogard will shift to shortstop as Brock Holt steps in at third base.

Tim Anderson 2B | LAA
White Sox's Tim Anderson: Scores twice in return
Anderson (groin) went 1-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored Tuesday in the White Sox's 8-4 win over the Tigers.
Back in action after spending the minimum amount of time on the injured list with a groin strain, Anderson slotted back into his familiar spot at shortstop and at the top of the Chicago lineup. He was able to come around to score both times he reached base and didn't seem to be bothered by the groin issue, so fantasy managers can probably feel comfortable activating him at this point. Anderson will start again Wednesday in a day game after a night game.

Corey Seager SS | TEX
Dodgers' Corey Seager: Returns to field
Seager (back) swung the bat, ran the bases, and fielded groundballs at shortstop Tuesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Seager has been inching toward a return from a lower-back injury suffered in last Friday's contest against the Giants, so Tuesday's workout represents a tangible step in his aim to return to action. The Dodgers have yet to determine whether Seager will require a stint on the injured list. It stands to reason that the decision will be at least partly based on how the shortstop's back reacts to Tuesday's on-field work.

Trea Turner SS | PHI
Nationals' Trea Turner: Pops leadoff homer
Turner went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Mets.
He smacked the second pitch he saw from Rick Porcello -- an 89 mph fastball at the top of the strike zone -- the other way down the right-field line for a 356-foot homer. Turner has gone yard on consecutive nights, giving him three home runs on the year, but his .255/.288/.455 slash line -- as well as his 0-for-3 performance on steal attempts -- is still well below expectations.
