Contreras went 3-for-4 with a triple and four RBI in Wednesday's 5-1 win against the Athletics.

Contreras plated St. Louis' first two runs with a single in the third inning. He capped the Cardinals' scoring in the contest with a two-run triple in the eighth. Contreras finished with his first multi-hit game over his past 10 contests, and his four RBI on Wednesday were as many as he'd recorded during that 10-game stretch. Contreras is up to 78 RBI on the campaign, establishing a new career-high mark.

Bernabel (knee/quadriceps) will start at first base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Giants.

Bernabel will return to the lineup for the first time since Saturday, after a left knee and quad bruise confined him to the bench for the previous three contests. The Rockies turned to Kyle Farmer (two starts) and Orlando Arcia (one start) at first base while Bernabel was out.

Smith isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

After extending his hitting streak to five games with a pair of singles Tuesday, Smith will grab a seat on the bench Wednesday with Rafael Devers covering first base and Wilmer Flores serving as the Giants' designated hitter.

Vaughn isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Vaughn has cooled off quite a bit after getting off to a hot start with the Brewers, and he'll now head to the bench for the second time in as many games while Jake Bauers starts at first base for Milwaukee.

Steer (leg) will start at first base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Steer will return to the lineup after a two-game absence due to a minor leg injury. Top prospect Sal Stewart had started at first base in both of the previous two contests while Steer managed the leg issue, but the rookie could end up shifting into more of a utility role moving forward, assuming Steer is able to maintain health.

Stewart is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Following his promotion from Triple-A Louisville on Monday, Stewart started at first base in the first two games of the series with Toronto and went 2-for-8 with a run scored. Though he'll be on the bench Wednesday while Spencer Steer (leg) checks back in at first base following a two-game absence, Stewart could still have a path to at least semi-regular playing time in September while moving between second base and designated hitter.

Burleson hopes to take batting practice in the coming days after an anti-inflammatory injection alleviated discomfort in his injured right wrist, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

If Burleson is able to take batting practice soon, he could avoid a rehab assignment and be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Sept. 8. Burleson is second only to Ivan Herrera on the Cardinals with a wRC+ of 120 this season.

Yorke went 1-for-2 on Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Yorke was called up to the majors when rosters expanded and made his first appearance of 2025. He started at first base and hit seventh with lefty Clayton Kershaw on the mound and tallied his first hit in the opening frame. Yorke could settle into a short-side platoon with Spencer Horwitz at first base.

Alonso went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs in Tuesday's 12-5 win over the Tigers.

The first baseman racked up 823 feet worth of long balls by taking Sawyer Gipson-Long deep in the first inning and Chris Paddack in the seventh. Alonso is up to 33 homers on the season through 139 games, including five in his last 11 contests, and with 23 games left on the Mets' schedule, he's got a shot at reaching 40 for the fourth time in his career.

Arraez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Orioles.

Arraez's third-inning blast was the lone scoring play the Padres generated. He's gone 7-for-20 (.350) since his off day versus the Mariners last Wednesday, so it appears he has gotten his hitting back on track after a small slump. The infielder is up to seven homers this season, including five at home, while slashing .285/.318/.393 with 52 RBI, 56 runs scored and nine stolen bases across 133 contests overall.
