Frazier went 0-for-2 with two walks, a stolen base and one run scored in Tuesday's 9-5 win over the Astros.

The second baseman is holding down a strong-side platoon role with a .246/.305/.408 slash line, 10 steals, 13 home runs, 60 RBI and 58 runs scored over 132 contests this season. Jordan Westburg remains Frazier's biggest competition for playing time.

Andrus has been productive lately when he's played, hitting .326 with one home run, four runs, six RBI and one steal in 14 games this month. Lenyn Sosa is manning the keystone and batting eighth.

Westburg is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Astros.

Westburg is hitting .286 with one home run, three runs and three RBI in 35 at-bats this month. Ramon Urias is starting at third base and hitting ninth.

Gimenez went 2-for-5 with a triple, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Royals.

His sixth-inning pilfer gave Gimenez an even 30 for the season, further padding his career high. The 25-year-old is having an impressive September, reeling off multiple hits in three straight games and six of the last nine to boost his slash line on the month to .354/.408/.477 with a homer, eight steals, nine RBI and 10 runs in 17 contests.

Haggerty went 1-for-2 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Athletics.

Haggerty's playing time remains sporadic, but he was able to make a small impact off the bench Tuesday. The steal was his first since Sept. 2. The speedy outfielder is up to a .247/.330/.321 slash line with seven steals, one home run, four RBI and 13 runs scored through 92 plate appearances this season.

Merrifield is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.careports.

Merrifield is 3-for-32 in his past nine games and finds himself on the bench for the third time in Toronto's last four contests. The veteran utility man and Daulton Varsho have been splitting time in left field of late, with both players have struggled in September with a sub-.700 OPS.

Westburg isn't in Baltimore's lineup Tuesday against the Astros, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

After collecting just one hit in 12 trips to the plate across his last five games, Westburg will get a day off Tuesday to regroup. Gunnar Henderson will slide to third base in Westburg's absence while Jorge Mateo starts at shortstop.

Massey is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.

Massey's bat has come alive in September with an .892 OPS and four homers in 13 games, but he'll receive a day off after going 0-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run Monday. Nick Loftin will man the keystone and bat sixth against Cleveland lefty Logan Allen.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Angels, Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Southpaw Patrick Sandoval will be on the hill for the Halos, so the left-handed hitting Lowe will take a seat. Osleivis Basabe is getting a start at second base for the Rays.

Gimenez went 3-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Royals.

Gimenez has multiple hits in five of his last eight games, and he's batting .350 (21-for-60) in September. The steal was his seventh of the month, giving him 29 thefts on 33 attempts this season. The second baseman's strong hitting has him up to a .248/.315/.388 slash line with 13 home runs, 57 RBI and 69 runs scored through 144 contests. While it's nowhere near his .297/.371/.466 slash line from 2022, Gimenez has shown off his skills late in the campaign.
