Brice Turang 2B | MIL
Brewers' Brice Turang: Triple, stolen base in win
Turang went 1-for-2 with an RBI triple, a stolen base and a run scored while also drawing a walk in Wednesday's win over the Dodgers.
Turang walked and stole second in his first trip to the plate before adding an RBI triple and also scoring a run in the second inning to tie the game 3-3. The shortstop had gone 0-for-11 over his last three starts before posting his third triple of the season in Wednesday's win. He's batting just .162 (6-for-37) since the start of August with two extra-base hits, five RBI and five runs scored, while the stolen base marked his 34th of the campaign.

Royals' Adam Frazier: Racks up three hits Wednesday
Frazier went 3-for-4 in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Twins.
Frazier has gone 6-for-18 (.333) over eight games in August. He continues to fill a part-time role between second base and right field against right-handed pitchers. The veteran lifted his average back above the Mendoza Line at .205 with a .577 OPS, three home runs, 17 RBI, 26 runs scored and two stolen bases through 235 plate appearances this season.

Jonathan India 2B | KC
Reds' Jonathan India: Enjoys big day at plate
India went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in a 9-2 win against the Cardinals on Wednesday.
India tormented St. Louis starter Kyle Gibson, touching up the veteran hurler for a three-run homer in the third inning and a solo shot in the fifth. The power outburst came on the heels of a rough stretch for India during which he batted a paltry .138 with only one homer over his previous 24 contests. In fact, the second baseman had been in a five-game, 0-for-20 slump prior to breaking out Wednesday.

Andres Gimenez SS | TOR
Guardians' Andres Gimenez: Produces nice stat line Wednesday
Gimenez went 3-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a stolen base in a 6-1 win against the Cubs on Wednesday.
Gimenez notched three of Cleveland's seven hits and drove in half of the team's runs in the productive performance. The trio of RBI pushed his season total to 50, while the theft moved him up to 20 on the campaign. Gimenez has now driven in at least 50 runs and stolen at least 20 bags in three straight seasons.

Nick Sogard 2B | BOS
Red Sox's Nick Sogard: Exits early Wednesday
Sogard was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rangers due to calf tightness, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
Sogard fouled a ball off his leg during his at-bat in the eighth inning and felt his calf tighten up on him while in the field during the ninth frame. It's unclear if he'll be available for Thursday's series opener against Baltimore.

Will Wagner DH | SD
Blue Jays' Will Wagner: Out of Wednesday's lineup
Wagner is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.
Wagner has gone 5-for-8 with three doubles, three RBI and a run in his first two MLB games this season, but he'll take a seat for Wednesday's series finale in Anaheim. Addison Barger will enter the lineup in Wagner's place against Angels lefty Tyler Anderson.

Brandon Drury 2B | KC
Angels' Brandon Drury: Resting Wednesday
Drury isn't in the Angels' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
Drury has gone 4-for-18 with two RBI and two runs scored over his last six games and will take a seat for Wednesday's matchup against Jose Berrios. Michael Stefanic will take over at the keystone and bat ninth.

Vidal Brujan SS | NYM
Marlins' Vidal Brujan: Heading to bench Wednesday
Brujan is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
Brujan will hit the bench for the series finale in Philadelphia after he had started in each of Miami's last three games while going 1-for-8 with a solo home run and a walk. The switch-hitting Brujan should have a regular spot in the lineup versus right-handed pitching, but his spot in the everyday lineup may not be fully secure just yet.

Zack Gelof 3B | ATH
Athletics' Zack Gelof: Reaches twice Tuesday
Gelof went 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in a win over the Mets on Tuesday.
Gelof operated out of the No. 7 spot in the order and continued his recent encouraging stretch of hitting. The steal was also Gelof's first in the six games since he recorded pilfers in back-to-back contests Aug. 4-5. Gelof has edged his season average back over the Mendoza Line to .202 with the surge, but he still has plenty of ground to make up over the last month and a half of the regular season to even get into the neighborhood of his rookie-season figures of a .267 average and .841 OPS.

Nolan Gorman 3B | STL
Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Absent from lineup
Gorman is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Cincinnati, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Gorman had started each of the last six games versus right-handers, but he'll begin Wednesday's contest on the bench as the Reds go with a right-handed opening pitcher in Emilio Pagan and a right-handed bulk reliever in Carson Spiers. Brendan Donovan will handle second base for the Cardinals.
