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.

Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Goldschmidt will remain on the bench for the Yankees' third consecutive matchup with a right-handed pitcher while manager Aaron Boone goes with Ben Rice at first base. Rice should continue to draw the bulk of the starts at the position against righties, as Goldschmidt has produced a lowly .267 wOBA in those matchups for the season.

Kavadas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Kavadas finds himself on the bench for the third time in four games, with all of his absences coming against right-handed pitchers. After going just 2-for-19 with 10 strikeouts following his Aug. 12 call-up from Triple-A Salt Lake, Kavadas appears set to play second fiddle at first base to Oswald Peraza until Nolan Schanuel (wrist) returns from the injured list.

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.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

The left-handed-hitting Lowe was included in the lineup against Cleveland southpaw Parker Messick in Monday's 6-4 win, but he'll hit the bench while the Guardians send another lefty (Joey Cantillo) to the bump for the finale. Romy Gonzalez will check in for Lowe at first base.

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.

Walker is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

Walker will get a routine breather after he started in each of the previous 15 contests. The Astros will go with the freshly activated Victor Caratini at first base as they try to even the series against the Yankees.

The Red Sox recalled Sogard from Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday. He'll start at second base and bat eighth in the Red Sox's series finale against the Guardians.

Sogard will be joining the 28-man active roster as a replacement for outfielder Roman Anthony, who was placed on the injured list with an oblique strain, which is likely to keep him out for the remainder of the regular season. Though the Red Sox have two openings in the everyday lineup with Anthony and Wilyer Abreu (calf) on the shelf, Sogard won't necessarily be in store for a full-time role. Sogard's status as a switch hitter along with his ability to play multiple infield and outfield spots could work in his favor if the Red Sox elect to take a platoon approach to either of the vacant lineup spots, however.

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.
