Cam Devanney 3B | PIT
Pirates' Cam Devanney: Third straight start at hot corner
Devanney will start at third base and bat ninth in Wednesday's game versus the Dodgers.
Devanney will pick up a third straight start at the hot corner after the Pirates lost Isiah Kiner-Falefa to waivers Sunday. Thus far, Devanney has gone 0-for-7 with five strikeouts, so he may have a short leash atop the depth chart at third base.

Chase Meidroth SS | CHW
White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Back in action Wednesday
Meidroth (ankle) will start at second base and bat ninth in Wednesday's game at Minnesota.
Meidroth exited Monday's series opener due to a right ankle sprain and didn't play in Tuesday's 12-3 win, but he's ready to go after a one-day absence. The rookie infielder has mostly struggled in the second half but has gone 5-for-15 with one home run and one stolen base over his last four contests.

Gunnar Henderson 3B | BAL
Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Receiving rare day off Wednesday
Henderson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.
In what appears to be a routine rest for a day game after a night game, Henderson will exit the Baltimore lineup for just the third time since the beginning of July. With Henderson receiving a breather, the Orioles will turn over shortstop to Luis Vazquez in the series finale.

Franklin Arias SS | BOS
Red Sox's Franklin Arias: Bumped up to Double-A
Arias went 1-for-5 with a double and a run scored in his Double-A Portland debut Tuesday after being promoted from High-A Greenville.
He didn't hit for much power at High-A (.115 ISO), but Arias wasn't getting challenged as a hitter. His 8.9 percent strikeout rate and 0.91 BB/K were top-five marks among all qualified hitters at High-A. The righty-hitting Arias won't turn 20 years old until November, so any late-season struggles at Portland shouldn't be held against him. Public scouting reports are more bullish on Arias' shortstop defense this season than a year ago, and if he can stick at the position, it would put less pressure on him to tap into notable power.

C.J. Abrams SS | WAS
Nationals' CJ Abrams: Rare day off Wednesday
Abrams is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Marlins.
Abrams will get a rare day off while he's in the midst of a 1-for-13 skid at the palte over his last four starts. Nasim Nunez will fill in at shortstop, and outfielder Daylen Lile has been elevated to the No. 2 spot in the lineup as the Nationals try to complete the sweep.

Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL
Braves' Ha-Seong Kim: Two hits in Atlanta debut
Kim went 2-for-4 in Tuesday's loss to the Cubs.
It was a nice beginning to his Atlanta tenure, as Kim got the start at shortstop and hit sixth in the order after being claimed off waivers from the Rays and activated from the IL earlier in the day. The 29-year-old infielder should be the team's starting SS for the rest of September as he tries to wrap up a tough, injury-plagued 2025 with a strong final month.

Jared Triolo 3B | PIT
Pirates' Jared Triolo: Leads charge in Tuesday's win
Triolo went 2-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, two runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Dodgers.
The 27-year-old infielder was a force at the top of the lineup, producing his eighth multi-hit performance since Aug. 15. Over that 17-game stretch, Triolo is slashing .375/.485/.625 with nine extra-base hits (six doubles, a triple and two homers) in addition to five steals, seven RBI and 12 runs. While he won't maintain that blistering pace, Triolo has shown flashes of offensive upside in the past, and he could be establishing a foothold in the Pirates' 2026 plans.

Brayan Rocchio SS | CLE
Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Plates three Tuesday
Rocchio went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's loss to the Red Sox.
Rocchio capped off a six-run sixth inning for the Guardians with a three-run blast off Garrett Crochet to put Cleveland ahead. Rocchio's now plated five runs over his last two games and has 11 RBI and three homers over his last 16. Rocchio's blast put him at 39 RBI for the season, surpassing his 2024 total in 53 fewer games.

Gabriel Arias SS | CLE
Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Expected back Wednesday
Arias (hand) is expected to return to the lineup Wednesday's series finale versus the Red Sox, MLB.com reports.
The Guardians had expected Arias to play in Tuesday's 11-7 loss, but the infielder missed a fourth consecutive game. Brayan Rocchio started at shortstop in each of the last four contests while Arias was out.

Taylor Walls 3B | TB
Rays' Taylor Walls: Unclear timeline
Walls (groin) will see a specialist Wednesday, MLB.com reports.
Walls has been sidelined since Aug. 12 and had recently begun running and strength exercises. However, he felt discomfort and will now seek additional medical evaluation. The results should provide clarity on whether Walls can return this season, though he doesn't appear to be close to activation.
