Peraza was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rangers with a left hand contusion.

Peraza took a 95-mph fastball off his hand during the sixth inning and was replaced on defense at the start of the seventh. He seems to have escaped the incident with nothing more than a bruise, but the Angels could still keep him on the bench for a day or two while he deals with lingering soreness.

Meidroth went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Reds.

Meidroth sat out two games while battling a sore left wrist. It didn't seem to be much of a concern when he went deep in the sixth inning to give the White Sox some breathing room. Meidroth has gone 10-for-30 (.333) with three homers and eight RBI over his eight games in August. On the year, he's batting .276 with a .763 OPS, 12 homers, 48 RBI, 68 runs scored, 21 doubles and two stolen bases over 114 contests.

Clement went 1-for-3 with a walk, two RBI, one run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Red Sox.

Clement drove in runs in the second and eighth innings while also adding his fifth stolen base of the season. The 30-year-old has tallied four RBI over his past four games, though he's posted a lowly .469 OPS through 12 August contests. For the year, he's slashing .282/.306/.406 with nine homers, 46 RBI, 50 runs scored and five steals across 480 plate appearances.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Wednesday's 12-6 win over the Nationals. He also stole two bases.

Ramirez was active Wednesday, recording his second career two-steal game and his seventh stolen base this season in seven attempts. The rookie is having a strong debut with the Cubs, though consistent playing time may be an issue down the stretch. Alex Bregman, who tallied a career-best three home runs and seven RBI in Wednesday's win, is entrenched at third base, and Tyrone Taylor came over at the trade deadline to give the team another option off the bench.

Torres went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Guardians.

Torres was the only Detroit player with multiple hits and he also delivered his eighth home run of the season in the third inning, which gave the Tigers a short-lived 3-2 lead. The veteran infielder batted leadoff for the first time since Aug. 2, with Kevin McGonigle sliding down from first to third in the lineup against lefty Foster Griffin. Whether he's batting leadoff or not, Torres should regularly occupy a spot near the top of Detroit's order most days, and he should remain a steady if not spectacular fantasy performer.

Young was removed from Wednesday's game against the Yankees due to dizziness, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Young went 1-for-4 with a run scored before coming out of the game in the seventh inning. Leo Rivas would likely be next in line to start at second base if Young needs to miss additional time, but he doesn't seem to be dealing with anything that would require an IL stint.

Semien is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

The Mets will give Semien a breather after he started in each of the last 10 games while slashing .222/.310/.417 with two home runs, one steal, six RBI and six runs during that stretch. Brett Baty will replace Semien at second base and will bat eighth.

Seigler is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Seigler is back on the bench for a second straight day while the Red Sox go with Nick Sogard at second base. Prior to Tuesday, Seigler had covered the keystone in four of the Red Sox's previous five contests, but his uptick in playing time appears to have been mostly the result of Willson Contreras and Masataka Yoshida missing out on two starts apiece due to illness.

Edman is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Royals on Wednesday.

Edman will be on the bench for the start of Wednesday's game after going 2-for-8 with a run scored across the first two games of the series against Kansas City. Miguel Rojas will start at second base and bat ninth in Edman's absence.

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

The Tigers will keep McKinstry on the bench along with fellow left-handed hitter Colt Keith while southpaw Foster Griffin takes the hill for the Guardians. Corey Julks was called up from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday and will step in for McKinstry in right field in his Tigers debut.
