Story went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 2-1 win against the Rays.

There wasn't much offense between the two teams, but Story stuffed the stat sheet anyway, belting a solo homer in the sixth inning and swiping a pair of bags. The long ball was the shortstop's second since he returned Sept. 7 from an absence of over five months due to a dislocated shoulder. Since being activated from the IL, Story has batted .286 (10-for-35) with four RBI and four steals over 10 games.

Correa went 3-for-5 with four RBI in an extra-inning loss to the Guardians on Wednesday.

All three of Correa's hits were singles, but they collectively resulted in three Twins runs. The shortstop added another RBI with a first-inning fielder's choice, so all four of Minnesota's runs came on plays off his bat. Correa has gone 5-for-10 with two walks in three contests since returning from the injured list Sept. 14.

Acuna went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 10-0 win over the Nationals.

This was Acuna's third multi-hit effort in five major-league games, and he has homered in consecutive contests. He's filled in admirably at shortstop while Francisco Lindor deals with a back injury. If Acuna continues to hit well, he could push for playing time somewhere else once Lindor returns, though he'll have to stay hot at the plate with the Mets in the thick of the wild-card race.

Bichette was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Rangers due to a right middle finger contusion, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Bichette went 2-for-5 with an RBI in his return from the injured list Tuesday, but he'll be prevented from playing Wednesday as he deals with a bruised finger. His absence will move Ernie Clement from third base to shortstop, and Addison Barger will enter the starting nine to start at the hot corner.

Cruz (ankle) isn't in Pittsburgh's lineup Wednesday against the Cardinals.

Cruz entered as a pinch hitter during Tuesday's loss to the Cards, but he'll remain absent from the starting nine Wednesday as he continues to battle left ankle soreness. Billy Cook start in center field and bat ninth.

Lindor (back) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza implied that Lindor is also unlikely to play in Thursday's series opener versus the Phillies, as the shortstop still hasn't resumed baseball activities, per Tim Healey of Newsday. Lindor's absence Wednesday will mark the third straight game he's missed due to a back injury. Lindor is expected to return before the end of the regular season, but it remains a bit of a mystery as to when exactly it might happen. Luisangel Acuna is getting another start at shortstop Wednesday.

Rojas was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins due to lingering left leg soreness, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Rojas downplayed the seriousness of the injury and implied he could be ready to return to action as soon as Thursday's series finale in Miami. Tommy Edman will shift from center field to cover shortstop in Rojas' stead.

Edwards will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

Edwards was mysteriously out of the lineup for three consecutive games last Tuesday through Thursday, presumably due to an unreported injury. He still appeared off the bench in two of those contests and has since reclaimed his spot in the Marlins' everyday lineup, as he'll be picking up a fifth consecutive start Wednesday. If Edwards is still playing through an injury, it hasn't been evident on the basepaths, with the 25-year-old nabbing a pair of steals in his four games since rejoining the lineup.

Caballero is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Red Sox.

Cabellero started each of the previous five games for the Rays, but he will begin Wednesday's contest on the bench. Taylor Walls will garner the start at shortstop and will bat eighth.

Rojas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to Miami.

Rojas slugged one of Los Angeles' two long balls in the contest, belting a solo shot to left field in the fourth inning. The blast was the shortstop's sixth of the season through 98 games, giving him one more than he hit in 125 contests last year. Though he's not a big power threat, Rojas has swung a steady bat in 2024, slashing .296/.341/.425 over 319 plate appearances.
