Biggio went 2-for-5 with a double, a walk, three runs and two RBI in Wednesday's 14-1 win over the Blue Jays.

The Toronto offense has been on a heater since Sunday, and Biggio -- the team's leadoff hitter -- has been one of the main beneficiaries over the last four games. After failing to score in a stretch of 11 consecutive games, Biggio has now crossed home seven times so far during the final week of the regular season. With a .796 OPS to go with seven home runs and six steals during the abbreviated campaign, Biggio has essentially replicated the numbers he posted as a rookie on a per-plate appearance basis. He's also made 31 starts at second base, 14 in the outfield and seven at third base, so he could have a chance at carrying eligibility at three positions in some fantasy leagues heading into 2021.

Frazier went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an RBI and a run scored Wednesday as he helped the Pirates to a 2-1 win over the Cubs.

Frazier got things rolling right away as he opened up the bottom of the first by taking Kyle Hendricks deep to right to knot the game up at one apiece. The Pirates would then promptly take the lead after Ke'Bryan Hayes sent a ball flying over the center-field wall the very next at-bat to put his team up 2-1. Frazier's homer Wednesday snapped an 11-game drought as the 28-year-old has struggled at the plate for a majority of the season, hitting .220/.290/.335 with six home runs, 19 RBI and 19 runs scored across 211 plate appearances.

Dubon went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk during Wednesday's win over the Rockies.

Dubon launched a three-run blast against Yency Almonte in the fifth inning to give the Giants the lead. The long ball was the third of the year for the 26-year-old, who is averaging .286 across 49 games.

Arroyo went 0-for-2 with a run scored and a pair of walks in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the Orioles.

Arroyo missed two games with back spasms, but he was able to play the full game Wednesday. He was able to score on a three-run double by Rafael Devers in the third inning. Arroyo has contributed three homers, eight RBI and seven runs scored in 11 games.

Gimenez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-5 loss to the Rays.

Gimenez tied the game at 1-1 in the second inning with his solo shot. It was the third homer of the year for the shortstop. Gimenez has added seven stolen bases, 12 RBI and 22 runs scored across 131 plate appearances.

Lowe went 2-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 8-5 win over the Mets.

Lowe got an RBI when he reached on a fielder's choice that allowed Manuel Margot to score in the third inning. In the sixth, Lowe hit a single and scored on a Randy Arozarena homer. Lowe added a two-run blast in the eighth as part of the Rays' three run rally. The 26-year-old is slashing .274/.363/.570 with 14 homers, 36 RBI, 35 runs scored and three stolen bases through 53 games this year.

Polanco (ankle) returns to the lineup Wednesday against Detroit, batting seventh and playing shortstop.

Polanco missed Tuesday's game with a sore ankle, though the issue was evidently a very minor one. Even with the Twins having already clinched a playing berth, the team evidently sees no reason to have him sit for the second straight day.

Arroyo (back) will bat ninth as the second baseman Wednesday against the Orioles, Steve Hewitt of the Boston Herald reports.

Arroyo was sidelined for Boston's last two games with back spasms. He's good to go now, however, and will look to build on his .895 OPS in his first 10 games in a Red Sox uniform over the final few days of the year.

Rengifo will start at second base and will bat ninth Wednesday against the Padres.

Rengifo will be rewarded with a second straight start after going 2-for-3 with an RBI and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 4-2 win. With Andrelton Simmons informing the Angels on Tuesday that he was opting out of the season, Rengifo should get the opportunity to play regularly in the middle infield over Los Angeles' final four games.

Albies went 3-for-4 with a solo home run Tuesday, as the Braves beat the Marlins 11-1.

Albies smashed his sixth homer of the season in the second inning and has three bombs over his past seven games. He is a scorching 11-for-28 over that same stretch and raised his average to .289 with Tuesday's performance.
