Garcia went 2-for-6 with two runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 10-3 win over the White Sox.

The 24-year-old wasted no time in making an impact, singling, stealing second and scoring in the first inning. Garcia has been heating up to close the books on July, batting .302 (13-for-43) over his last 11 games with 13 runs and four of his 25 stolen bases on the season.

Singer (8-6) picked up the win Wednesday, giving up three runs on six hits over seven innings in a 10-3 rout of the White Sox. He struck out four without walking a batter.

The right-hander gave up three straight hits to lead off the bottom of the second inning, with all three Chicago runners eventually coming around to score, but otherwise Singer held the opposition in check as he collected his third straight win and fourth in his last five outings. The 27-year-old has allowed three runs or fewer in eight of his last nine starts, posting a 2.33 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 43:15 K:BB through 54 innings over that stretch. Singer will look to extend his win streak in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come early next week at home against the Red Sox.

Manager Alex Cora said Jansen tweaked his lower back during Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Jansen appeared to be hurting on the mound during the ninth frame of Wednesday's win, though he remained in the game and finished the inning after Boston's training staff checked on him. He'll get an extra day to rest during the Red Sox's day off Thursday, and he'll be re-evaluated before Friday's game against Texas.

Wallner went 2-for-5 with a double, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Mets.

The 26-year-old outfielder got hold of a Luis Severino changeup in the third inning and crushed it over the wall in right-center field, capping a five-run frame for the Twins. Wallner has gone yard three times in his last four starts, and since rejoining the big-league roster in early July he's batting .364 (16-for-44) in 15 contests with five of his six homers on the season.

Lopez (10-7) picked up the win Wednesday in an 8-3 victory over the Mets, giving up two runs on three hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out seven.

The right-hander delivered his 11th quality start of the season on 103 pitches (66 strikes), and his only real mistake on the afternoon got driven down the right-field line by Mark Vientos in the second inning for a two-run homer. Lopez has allowed two runs or less in six of his last seven starts, posting a 2.86 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 55:10 K:BB through 44 innings over that stretch. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road early next week against the Cubs.

Polanco was removed from Wednesday's game due to knee issues, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Polanco went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and a walk before Leo Rivas replaced him in the field during the eighth inning. Polanco's knee also forced him to make an early exit from Sunday's game against the White Sox, so it's possible the Mariners sit him down for a game or two as a precaution.

Santos exited Wednesday's game versus the Red Sox due to a bicep injury, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. He retired the only two batters he faced before leaving the game.

While Santos didn't suffer another injury to his right knee Wednesday, his arm issue could send him to the shelf. He will undergo an MRI on Thursday to determine the severity of his injury.

Santos was removed from Wednesday's game versus Boston due to an apparent injury, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Santos was removed from his appearance last Wednesday due to a right knee injury, though it's unclear if his early exit against the Red Sox was due to a similar issue. If the right-hander's knee is once again bothering him, the Mariners may opt to place him on the injured list this time around.

Barger went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double and two total RBI in Wednesday's 10-4 loss to the Orioles.

Barger led off the third inning with a solo shot off Grayson Rodriguez before driving in the Blue Jays' second run with a two-out double in the fourth. The 24-year-old Barger has looked good since taking on a regular role in Toronto, as he's now 6-for-15 with two homers and four extra-base hits in his last four contests. With Justin Turner now in Seattle, the rookie could get an extended look down the stretch. Overall, Barger's slashing .197/.228/.329 with 11 RBI, seven runs scored and a stolen base in 80 plate appearances this season.

The Orioles will recall Soto from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

With Jordan Westburg set to miss an extended period of time after being diagnosed with a fractured hand Wednesday, the Orioles will call upon Soto to replenish their infield depth. The 24-year-old was acquired from the Reds on Tuesday, and he has slashed .279/.378/.375 with 39 RBI across 329 plate appearances in Triple-A this season. Jackson Holliday and Gunnar Henderson will likely start most days at second base and shortstop, respectively, while Westburg is out. However, Soto could pick up an occasional start whenever one of the regular starters receives a day off.
