Lowe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Cardinals

The 32-year-old supplied the only offense for the Pirates when he crushed a Matthew Liberatore pitch nearly into the Allegheny River. This was Lowe's 34th home run of the year, which is his most since the 2021 season when he hit 39 for the Rays. Lowe has been hot in September, slashing .338/.413/.620 with two doubles, six homers, 12 RBI and 12 runs.

Turang went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Phillies.

Turang opened the scoring in the first inning with a 406-foot blast off Aaron Nola, his career-high 20th homer this season. The 26-year-old Turang has been on a tear down the stretch, going 22-for-54 (.407) over his last 17 games. He's now slashing .265/.365/.444 with 99 runs scored, 94 RBI and 19 stolen bases across 662 plate appearances this year.

Norby is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Diamondbacks.

Norby is slashing .305/.382/.441 in September and had made six straight starts, but he'll get a breather Wednesday. Adael Amador will settle in at second base for the Rockies.

Clemens is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in San Francisco.

The lefty-swinging Clemens has been an everyday player for the vast majority of the season for the Twins, but this will be his second straight time out of the lineup versus a lefty. Royce Lewis will handle second base for Minnesota.

Edman went 1-for-3 with a home run, a walk, two total runs and two total RBI against the Padres in a 7-0 victory Tuesday.

Edman kicked off the scoring in the contest when he walked with the bases loaded in the second inning. The utility man drove in another run in the sixth when he slugged a solo shot to left-center field. Edman has gone deep in each of his past two contests following an ice-cold 12-game stretch during which he went 2-for-39. He's slashing .245/.330/.386 with eight homers, 43 runs, 40 RBI and six stolen bases through 80 games this season.

Holliday will undergo left wrist surgery next week, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Holliday is dealing with a triangular fibrocartilage complex tear in the wrist. The current estimate points to Holliday needing 10 weeks to rehab, which would give him plenty of time to be ready ahead of spring training. Holliday was limited to only 98 games this season due to injury, slashing .229/.300/.340 in those contests.

Chisholm went 1-for-3 with a walk in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Rays.

Activated from the IL between games of the twin bill after recovering from a thumb injury, Chisholm got the start at second base and hit sixth. With the Yankees now locked into a wild-card spot after splitting the doubleheader, Chisholm's focus will be on staying healthy and getting ready for the first round of the playoffs next week, so he may not be an everyday presence in the lineup over the final days of the regular season. He needs one more home run to record his second career 20-40 campaign.

Torres is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Torres' playing time has tapered off a bit this month as the Tigers look ahead to 2027, as this will be his eighth day off. Zach McKinstry will be at second base, and Hao-Yu Lee will fill the designated hitter spot.

Sogard started at first base and went 2-for-5 with a double in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Guardians.

Sogard filled in at first base for a fourth consecutive game while Willson Contreras tends to a right hand injury. With Boston having clinched a playoff spot, the team does not have to rush Contreras back, although it would like to see him on the field and swing a bat before the postseason begins. Sogard has gone 3-for-18 during his time filling in.

Young went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-0 loss to the Astros.

Young's bat has faded late in the season -- he's just 3-for-22 over his last seven games. The steal was his fourth on nine attempts this campaign as he's struggled to make an impact on the basepaths. The infielder is batting .246 with a .693 OPS, 17 home runs, 65 RBI, 71 runs scored, 19 doubles and four triples across 155 contests.
