Grisham went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run and two walks in an 8-1 win over the White Sox on Wednesday.

Grisham added to New York's lead with a two-run blast to center field in the eighth inning. The veteran outfielder has racked up 34 home runs on the campaign -- twice as many as his previous career-high mark, which he established in 2022 with San Diego. Grisham has also set career highs in RBI (74) and runs scored (84), and his .819 OPS is on pace to be his best as a pro as well.

Lowe is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Baltimore.

The left-handed-hitting Lowe has seen more opportunities against lefty hurlers this season, but he'll get a day off Thursday as the Orioles send southpaw Cade Povich to the bump. Jake Mangum is handling right field for the Rays.

Lowe is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Baltimore.

The left-handed-hitting Lowe plays against most lefties, but he'll take a seat in this one as the Orioles send southpaw Cade Povich to the bump. Richie Palacios will cover second base for the Rays.

Simpson is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Baltimore.

The Rays are using a right-handed-heavy lineup against Orioles southpaw Cade Povich, so the left-handed-swinging Simpson will grab a seat. Christopher Morel will handle left field and bat cleanup.

Merrill went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to Milwaukee on Wednesday.

Merrill accounted for San Diego's only run with a 344-foot solo shot to left field in the sixth inning. The second-year outfielder has picked up his power of late, belting six home runs over his past 12 games. Merrill is batting .306 during that span with 11 runs scored and eight RBI, although he's also struck out at a 29.4 percent clip.

The Twins recalled Keirsey from Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday.

Keirsey has slashed a lowly .108/.140/.181 across 86 plate appearances with the big club this season. He'll provide outfield depth in the final days of the season.

The Twins placed Keaschall on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left thumb sprain.

Keaschall suffered the season-ending injury during Tuesday's game against the Rangers while stealing second base. He'll visit with a specialist next week to determine whether surgery is necessary. Even if a procedure is required, Keaschall should be fine by the time spring training rolls around. The rookie finishes his promising first season with a .302/.382/.445 batting line, four home runs and 14 steals over 207 plate appearances.

Sosa went 3-for-4 with three home runs and five RBI in Wednesday's 11-1 rout of the Marlins.

Making his return from a groin injury that had sidelined him since Sept. 12, the 29-year-old utility player came into the game with seven homers in 85 games on the season, but Sosa padded that total significantly with solo blasts in the fourth and seventh innings sandwiched around a three-run shot in the fifth. It's his first career multi-homer performance, and with Sosa getting the start at short in place of Trea Turner (hamstring), he remarkably became the first shortstop in Phillies history with a three-homer game. Turner could be activated from the IL on Friday, but Sosa figured to be busy over the final four games of the regular season as the team rests starters around the diamond ahead of the playoffs -- Sosa has seen action at every position except catcher, first base and right field in 2025.

Suarez will undergo another MRI on his injured right elbow after the inflammation subsides, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Suarez had imaging last week after landing on the 15-day injured list, but the results were inconclusive due to inflammation. He's scheduled to meet with Dr. Keith Meister on Oct. 7, and more should be known about his condition after that exam.

Schwarber went 4-for-5 with two solo home runs in Wednesday's 11-1 win over the Marlins.

While he paces the National League in long balls with 56 and sits two homers back of Ryan Howard's club-record 58 with four games to go, Schwarber set a major-league record in Wednesday's rout with his third-inning shot off Ryan Weathers. An incredible 23 of Schwarber's blasts this season have come off left-handed pitching, breaking the MLB record for a left-handed hitter that had been held by Matt Olson (2021) and Hall of Famer Stan Musial (1949). Schwarber suddenly has a very realistic chance at setting a new Phillies record for home runs in a season, having gone yard six times in the last 10 contests.
