Williams went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Twins.

Williams clubbed a triple off the center-field wall to plate two runs as part of a four-run sixth inning for the Athletics. Coupled with a double in the eighth frame, Wednesday marked his first game with multiple extra-base hits since July 19 and his third such effort of the season. Across 161 plate appearances, the 27-year-old is slashing .268/.304/.416 with two homers, 12 RBI and 18 runs. Williams has factored into the shortstop equation with Jacob Wilson (shoulder) out for the year, though Donovan Walton and Darell Hernaiz have also seen plenty of reps at the position.

Tolbert went 1-for-2 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to the Blue Jays.

Tolbert reached on an infield single to open the third inning before swiping second base for his 20th steal of the campaign. The utility man is hitting .294/.361/.422 with three homers, eight RBI and 27 runs across 126 plate appearances, though he's gone just 8-for-37 (.216) in August. Should second baseman Michael Massey (head) require a stint on the injured list, Tolbert could see an uptick in playing time.

Bazzana went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Angels.

Bazzana was instrumental in a late-game rally that saw the Guardians score three runs in the final two innings. He singled and scored in the eighth inning and then drove in the go-ahead run in the ninth with a sacrifice fly. The rookie's been on a roll of late, going 10-for-27 (.370) with two doubles, one steal, six RBI and five runs scored over the last seven games.

DeLauter (hamstring) entered Wednesday's game as a pinch hitter and singled in a 4-3 come-from-behind victory over the Angels.

DeLauter opened on the bench for a third consecutive game but triggered Cleveland's two-run rally in the top of the ninth inning. He was immediately replaced by a pinch runner, indicating the Guardians didn't want to push him on the basepaths. It's unclear if the pinch-hitting appearance means DeLauter will be ready to return to the starting lineup Friday after the team's off day Thursday.

Montgomery went 1-for-5 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored Wednesday against the Rangers.

Montgomery started the scoring for the White Sox with an RBI double in the second inning. The performance wrapped up a strong series, as Montgomery collected one hit in all three games while scoring five runs and tallying two RBI. Montgomery has shown promising signs at the plate across 24 games in August, reaching base at a .337 clip while racking up 14 RBI and 15 runs scored.

Culpepper went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Athletics.

Culpepper has hit safely in five straight games, going 8-for-19 (.421) with two homers and four RBI in that span. The shortstop continues to make steady contact -- he's now batting .333 with a .907 OPS over 63 plate appearances in the majors. He's added three homers, six RBI, eight runs scored, two doubles and no stolen bases while occupying a starting role at shortstop.

Lee went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Athletics.

Lee has homered four times over his last 10 games, going 10-for-37 (.271) at the dish in that span. The infielder has just one multi-hit effort, but the uptick in power is a positive after he slugged .385 in his first 25 games coming out of the All-Star break. He's batting .247 with a .736 OPS, 21 homers, 70 RBI, 59 runs scored, 21 doubles, three triples and seven stolen bases through 128 contests this year.

Larnach went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Athletics.

Larnach had the only multi-hit effort for the Twins in this contest. The outfielder had gone 0-for-14 with four strikeouts over his previous five games, and he's hitting just .172 in August. For the year, Larnach is batting .265 with a .770 OPS, 11 homers, 43 RBI, 51 runs scored, 19 doubles, one triple and two stolen bases over 108 contests. His playing time may continue to slip if he can't get his hitting back on track soon -- he sat out three straight games prior to Wednesday.

Prielipp allowed three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out five over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Wednesday.

Heading into a start at homer-friendly Sacramento didn't look to be a good recipe for Prielipp, who had allowed nine home runs over his last nine outings. He avoided the long ball Wednesday and left with the Twins ahead before reliever Andrew Morris squandered the lead in the sixth inning. Prielipp has still had an unimpressive August, allowing 23 runs over 26.2 innings across five starts this month. The southpaw is at a 5.55 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 106:39 K:BB across 99 innings through 19 starts in the majors this year. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Tigers.

White went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Twins.

White has gone 8-for-21 (.381) over his last five games, adding four RBI and three runs in that span. The infielder is seeing regular playing time of late as he continues to split time between first and third base. He's batting .269 with a .631 OPS, two home runs, eight RBI, 15 runs scored, four doubles and no stolen bases through the first 35 games of his big-league career.
