  • Luis Guillorme 3B | HOU

    Mets' Luis Guillorme: Heads to bench Wednesday

    Guillorme isn't starting Wednesday against the Cubs.

    Guillorme returned from the injured list Tuesday and went 1-for-3. He'll get a chance to rest while Eduardo Escobar starts at the hot corner and bats seventh.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Yankees' Gleyber Torres: Knocks in three runs Tuesday

    Torres went 1-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Red Sox.

    Torres' lone hit of the game was huge, as his three-run double in the 10th inning provided just enough support for New York's bullpen to wrap up the victory. The two-bagger extended Torres' modest hitting streak to four games, during which he's batting .316 (6-for-19) with three extra-base hits (including two homers), eight RBI and a stolen base. His 23 doubles on the season are three shy of his career-best mark of 26 set in 2019.

  • Thairo Estrada 2B | BAL

    Giants' Thairo Estrada: On bench Wednesday

    Estrada isn't in the lineup Wednesday against Atlanta, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Estrada is in the midst of a three-game hitting streak in which he's gone 6-for-11 with a homer, a double, two runs, two RBI and a stolen base. Wilmer Flores will take over at the keystone and bat third Wednesday.

  • Jack Mayfield 2B | LAA

    Angels' Jack Mayfield: Returns from IL

    Mayfield (undisclosed) went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to Sugar Land after being activated from Triple-A Salt Lake's 7-day injured list.

    Mayfield had been sidelined for the past six weeks due to the unspecified injury. The 31-year-old utility man owns a .230/.279/.394 slash line over 179 plate appearances at Salt Lake this season.

  • Angels' Michael Stefanic: Called up Wednesday

    Stefanic was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.

    Stefanic was sent to the minors in late July, and he missed a few games at the end of August due to back spasms. However, he's been back in action over the last few weeks and has slashed .484/.590/.871 with two home runs, a triple, four doubles, nine runs and nine RBI over nine games since the start of September. He should have a chance to carve out playing time for the Angels down the stretch after Andrew Velazquez (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

  • Jorge Polanco DH | NYM

    Twins' Jorge Polanco: Could return this week

    Polanco (knee) could be activated from the injured list at some point this week, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Polanco's return date continues to be a moving target, as he's been said to be close to returning at several points in the past week. It doesn't sound like he'll need a rehab stint, so he could be activated as early as this weekend.

  • Alan Trejo SS | COL

    Rockies' Alan Trejo: Pops third homer

    Trejo went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the White Sox.

    Trejo accounted for all of the Rockies' runs and their lone extra-base hit with his third-inning homer. The 26-year-old has gone 7-for-17 (.412) over his last five games while settling in as the primary shortstop in the absence of Jose Iglesias (hand). Trejo owns a .266/.309/.453 slash line with three homers, 11 RBI, 10 runs scored and three doubles through 68 plate appearances this year.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | NYM

    Rangers' Marcus Semien: Three doubles, three runs in win

    Semien went 3-for-5 with three doubles and three runs scored in Tuesday's 8-7 win over the Athletics.

    Semien flexed some muscle against one of his former teams, producing multiple doubles in one game for the first time this year. He came around to score each time he got aboard, and each of his two-baggers led off an inning. The second baseman has posted consecutive three-hit games, raising his slash line to .248/.305/.428 with 22 home runs, 72 RBI, 89 runs scored, 24 stolen bases and 28 doubles through 141 games.

  • Mark Mathias 2B | CIN

    Rangers' Mark Mathias: Homers twice, including walkoff

    Mathias went 3-for-5 with two home runs, four RBI and three total runs scored in Tuesday's 8-7 win over the Athletics.

    Mathias hasn't seen a large share of playing time in September, as Tuesday marked just his fifth start in 13 games this month. He made the most of his chance, fueling the Rangers' comeback win in a big way. The 28-year-old hit an RBI double in the fifth inning, a two-run blast in the seventh and a walkoff solo shot in the ninth to help erase a five-run deficit. He's produced five multi-hit efforts since joining the Rangers at the trade deadline. Mathias is slashing .298/.369/.614 with five homers, 18 RBI, 12 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases through 65 plate appearances between Texas and Milwaukee this year.

  • Luis Urias 2B | TOR

    Brewers' Luis Urias: Racks up three hits

    Urias went 3-for-5 with a double in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Cardinals.

    Urias was productive from the No. 7 spot in the order, but he wasn't directly involved in generating runs. The infielder has gone 7-for-17 (.412) over his last five games, but it appears he's lost playing time. Urias now occupies the short side of a platoon, mostly at second base with the occasional look at third. The 25-year-old owns a .229/.329/.394 slash line for the year while adding 15 home runs, 43 RBI, 48 runs scored and a stolen base through 106 contests.
