Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR
Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Two hits in Wednesday's win
Gimenez went 2-for-3 with a run scored in Wednesday's win over the Phillies.
He was the only Blue Jay to record multiple hits on the night, as Toronto managed only five knocks in total. Gimenez appears set to be an everyday player now that he's back from the injured list, but his value comes from his glove, not his bat -- Wednesday's performance bumped him above a .200 batting average for the first time since April 20.

Ketel Marte 2B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Delivers big run
Marte went 1-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Atlanta.
Marte drove in a run in the top of the ninth inning to make is a 2-0 game, and that run was needed when Justin Martinez walked three and hit a batter in the bottom of the frame to let in a run. Marte is up to 17 RBI for the season with 16 of them coming in the last 22 games.

Tim Tawa 2B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Doubles, scores in win
Tawa went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Atlanta.
Tawa doubled in the ninth inning and scored Arizona's second run on a Ketel Marte single. It was an important run the team needed, as closer Justin Martinez allowed a run in the bottom of the frame. Since Marte returned from the injured list in early May, forcing Tawa into a part-time role as a fill-in outfielder against left-handers, the rookie has handled the transition well. He's batting .271 (13-for-48) with four extra-base hits, four RBI, four steals and five runs over 19 games in the part-time role.

Brandon Lowe 2B | TB
Rays' Brandon Lowe: Continues to rake in win
Lowe went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 5-4 victory over the Rangers.
Lowe blasted his 12th homer of the season Wednesday, and he added to a red-hot stretch at the plate recently. Across his last 20 games, the slugging second baseman is batting .359 (28-for-78) with seven homers, six doubles, 15 RBI and 19 runs scored. Lowe has seven multi-hit efforts during this period, also tallying at least one hit in 18 of these contests.

Daniel Schneemann 2B | CLE
Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Three hits, stolen base in win
Schneemann went 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Yankees.
Schneemann extended the Guardians' lead to 3-0 in the first inning with a two-run double before swiping third base for his fourth steal in five attempts this season. It's the first multi-hit game since May 6 for Schneemann -- he entered Wednesday with a .188 average (12-for-64) in his previous 21 games. Overall, the 28-year-old Schneemann is slashing .254/.338/.463 with seven homers, 18 RBI and 19 runs scored across 152 plate appearances this season while serving as Cleveland's primary second baseman.

Tommy Edman 2B | LAD
Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Battling ankle injury
Manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Edman tweaked his ankle a few days ago, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Edman hasn't started a game since Monday but still managed to play during Tuesday's contest, going 0-for-2 and scoring a run. Roberts said the 30-year-old is currently considered day-to-day, though Esteury Ruiz is on the team's taxi squad in case a move to the IL becomes necessary.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Not in Wednesday's lineup
Edman is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Mets on Wednesday.

Gleyber Torres 2B | DET
Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Batting leadoff Wednesday
Torres is starting at second base and batting first in Wednesday's game against the White Sox.
Torres had settled into the No. 2 position in the order recently with Parker Meadows returning from the injured list and taking over leadoff duties, but the latter is getting a breather Wednesday after two straight starts, which pushes Torres up a spot. The veteran infielder has been steady with a .272/.388/.405 slash line through 49 games with his new team.

Max Muncy SS | ATH
Athletics' Max Muncy: Back in majors
The Athletics recalled Muncy from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.
The A's optioned Muncy to Triple-A in late April after he began the season slashing .176/.211/.279 through 71 plate appearances in the majors. Since being sent down, he's turned things around offensively to the tune of a .901 OPS, which is good enough for him to get another shot with the big club. CJ Alexander was optioned to Las Vegas in a corresponding move.

Edmundo Sosa 3B | PHI
Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Moves back to reserve role
Sosa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.
Sosa made five straight starts to close out last week, but he's moved back into a reserve role for the first two games of the Phillies' series in Toronto with Bryce Harper returning to the lineup Tuesday after missing time due to a bruised elbow. With Philadelphia back to full strength, Sosa is expected to see most of his starting opportunities against left-handed pitching moving forward as a replacement at second base for Bryson Stott.
