Calhoun hit an RBI single and stole a base in Thursday's 10-9 extra-innings loss to the Mariners.

Calhoun pinch hit for Mark Mathias in the 10th inning and briefly put the Rangers ahead 8-7. The RBI single was Calhoun's first hit since Sept. 12, a slump which has seen him lose hold of an everyday role on a team far out of contention. The outfielder now has a .201/.261/.338 slash line with 12 home runs, three steals, 48 RBI and 36 runs scored through 120 contests in 2022.

Lowe went 1-for-6 with a solo home run in Thursday's 10-9 loss to the Mariners in extra innings.

Lowe didn't have a great game, but he was able to get the Rangers within a run with his seventh-inning blast. He'd gone 10 games without a homer, batting .263 with just two RBI and three runs scored in that span. The first baseman is up to 26 long balls on the year while adding 74 RBI, 71 runs scored, two stolen bases, 26 doubles, three triples and a .304/.357/.496 slash line through 150 contests.

Freeman went 1-for-4 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Padres.

Freeman was on the back end of a double steal that also saw Trea Turner swipe third in the sixth inning. The theft extended Freeman's career high to 13 stolen bases in 16 attempts this year. He's now gone seven games without a multi-hit effort -- he's only had four such stretches this year, which contributes to his lofty .327 batting average. He has a .920 OPS, 20 home runs, 97 RBI, 113 runs scored, 46 doubles and two triples through 153 contests.

Wade will sit Thursday against the Rockies, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Wade typically starts against righties while sitting against lefties, but he's now sat against a right-hander in three straight contests. His overall .193/.296/.356 slash line on the season is quite poor, though both his 10.3 percent barrel rate and 20.9 percent strikeout rate are better than league average, hinting at the potential for a bounceback season next year.

Bell isn't starting Thursday against the Dodgers, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Bell has gone 0-for-15 with two runs, an RBI, four walks and a strikeout over his last six games, and he'll take a seat for the third time in the last four matchups. Brandon Dixon is serving as the designated hitter and batting seventh.

Tellez isn't in the lineup Thursday against Miami.

Tellez started against a southpaw during Wednesday's series finale against the Cardinals, but the left-handed hitter will take a seat with southpaw Braxton Garrett on the mound Thursday. Keston Hiura is starting at first base and batting seventh.

Santana is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers.

Santana started the past 17 games and posted an .804 OPS with seven home runs and 15 RBI during that stretch, though he's 2-for-25 over Seattle's last seven contests. Jesse Winker will serve as the designated hitter Thursday after sitting out a couple games with a wrist issue.

Naylor isn't in the lineup Thursday against the Rays.

Naylor will head to the bench for the second time in the last four games with left-hander Jeffrey Springs starting for Tampa Bay. Gabriel Arias is taking over at first base and batting seventh.

Diaz (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Diaz has missed the past eight games with the shoulder issue and will remain on the bench for Thursday's series finale in Cleveland. Isaac Paredes will receive another start at the hot corner for the Rays.

Toglia went 0-for-4 with an RBI on Wednesday against the Giants.

Toglia grounded out in the top of the ninth inning to drive in his 11th run of the season. Across his last 14 starts, Toglia has struck out at a 38.9 percent clip with a .160 average. Despite his struggles, he's maintained a consistent role in between first base and the outfield.
