Devers went 2-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run and an additional run scored during the Giants' 5-4 extra-inning win over the Pirates on Wednesday.

Devers wasted no time getting the Giants on the board, taking the second pitch he saw from Bubba Chandler deep to center field for a 415-foot homer in the first inning, his 32nd of the season. Devers has homered in three consecutive outings and is in the midst of a 10-game hitting streak, with six multi-hit games in that span. He's well within striking distance of matching the 35 home runs he recorded last year between the Red Sox and Giants.

Guerrero went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run and five RBI during the Blue Jays' 11-0 win over the Guardians on Wednesday.

Guerrero has performed well below expectations this season, but the Blue Jays are surely hoping that Wednesday's performance is a sign of things to come for the 27-year-old first baseman. He put Toronto on the board early with an RBI double before belting a three-run homer in the second inning. Guerrero's RBI single in the sixth brought him up to five runs driven in -- his most in a game since his six-RBI showing against the Yankees on June 29, 2024 -- and it also brought him up to 1,200 hits in his major-league career. The Blue Jays will need more of this version of Guerrero -- who still has just a .693 OPS through 125 games this year -- as the team pushes for a playoff spot.

Walker is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

With Walker getting the night off, LaMonte Wade is making the start at first base and batting eighth against right-hander Davis Martin. Over his last 20 games dating back to Aug. 9, Walker is slashing just .139/.182/.236 with two home runs, nine RBI and a 3:18 BB:K across 77 trips to the plate.

Torkelson is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Torkelson is 1-for-12 at the plate over his last five games and hasn't homered since July 29. On the season, he's slashing .221/.315/.404 with 20 long balls, 63 RBI, 54 runs scored and a 58:165 BB:K across 528 plate appearances. Colt Keith is batting third and manning first base Wednesday.

Devers went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and two walks in Tuesday's 13-12 loss to the Pirates.

Devers launched a three-run home run to center field in the second inning, marking his second homer in as many games. The veteran infielder has recorded at least one hit in nine consecutive outings, batting .400 with 12 RBI, 11 runs scored and five long balls in 42 plate appearances during that time. On the year, he's up to a .252/.332/.494 slash line with 82 RBI, 80 runs scored and 31 home runs across 593 plate appearances.

Lewis went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run, a double, a walk and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 15-2 rout of the Tigers.

Lewis finished a triple shy of the cycle, with his biggest contribution coming on a three-run homer in Minnesota's 10-run sixth inning. It had been 22 contests since his last big fly, a stretch in which he held only a .282 slugging percentage. Lewis is slashing .236/.304/.407 with 14 homers, 21 doubles, one triple, 49 RBI, 48 runs and 14 steals across 104 games this season.

Stowers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Royals.

Stowers took Randy Dobnak deep for a solo homer in the fifth inning, giving him 17 long balls on the season and his first since returning from the injured list due to a hamstring strain. He's gone 7-for-25 (.280) with five RBI across eight games since his return, though his 41.4 percent strikeout rate during that stretch remains a concern.

Harper went 4-for-4 with a walk, one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

While all four hits were singles, Harper was able to get on base in every plate appearance in this contest. The 33-year-old has multiple hits in seven of his last nine games, going 17-for-34 (.500) with five RBI in that span. On the year, Harper is batting .274 with a .901 OPS, 27 home runs, 80 RBI, 85 runs scored, 28 doubles, three triples and seven stolen bases over 139 contests.

Aranda is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

Aranda started the previous nine games and will receive a day off after batting .206 (7-for-34) with two homers during that span. Ryan Vilade will pick up a start at first base against Mets lefty Sean Manaea on Tuesday.

Schanuel (side) is scheduled to resume swinging a bat Tuesday, Jack Janes of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

It's the first time Schanuel will do any kind of hitting work since he landed on the injured list Aug. 22 with an intercostal strain. The 24-year-old resumed participating in agility work last week, though there are still a few hurdles left for him to clear before the Angels can activate him from the injured list.
