Frazier is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.comreports.

Frazier finds himself on the bench for the third straight game as the Angels will send out yet another left-handed pitcher in Patrick Sandoval. Ramon Urias will man the keystone and bat sixth Wednesday.

Stefanic was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.

Stefanic was recalled by the Halos on Friday and will return to Salt Lake after going 0-for-6 with two walks and a run in three games during the brief stint in the majors. The 27-year-old has a .488 OPS in 33 big-league plate appearances this season.

Guillorme (calf) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Friday with High-A Brooklyn, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Guillorme has been out since late July because of a Grade 2 strain of his right calf, but he began a running program in late August and has responded well over the last few weeks. The 28-year-old utility man was batting .238/.304/.347 through 50 games this year for the Mets prior to his lengthy IL stint.

Edwards is starting at second base and batting seventh in Wednesday's game versus the Dodgers, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Edwards will handle the keystone for this one while Luis Arraez slides over to play first base and Josh Bell serves as the designated hitter. The speedy Edwards has fared well during his brief time in the majors this season, posting an .815 OPS with one stolen base in 11 games.

Kemp is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Ryan Noda is the only left-handed bat the Athletics have in there versus Toronto southpaw Hyun Jin Ryu. Brent Rooker will play left field while Kemp rests.

Rojas went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run in a loss to the Reds on Tuesday.

Rojas authored one of four two-hit efforts for the Mariners, posting his out of the bottom of the order. The trade deadline acquisition had been mired in a 2-for-15 funk in the seven games since his previous multi-hit tally, but a productive second half of August has helped Rojas maintain an impressive .282/.333/.436 slash line in 25 games with the Mariners thus far.

Lowe went 1-for-5 with a home run and four RBI on Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Lowe popped a walk-off three-run homer in the 11th inning for his 18th long ball of the season. He has now gone deep three times in his last 14 games, during which time he's also racked up 15 RBI and nine runs scored while hitting .294. Lowe has moved himself into a regular role in the top third of the order across the last month, so he should continue to rack up counting stats to close out the regular season.

Valdez went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and a second run scored in Tuesday's loss to the Rays.

Valdez got Boston on the board in the third inning with a two-run blast off Zach Eflin, his fifth homer of the year and first in the big leagues since May 31. The 24-year-old Valdez has started three of four games at second base since he was recalled from Triple-A when rosters expanded, going 4-for-10 with four RBI in that span. He should continue to see regular work with Pablo Reyes (elbow) on the IL.

Albies went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 10-6 loss to the Cardinals.

The second baseman took Miles Mikolas deep in the first inning, one of four Atlanta homers on the night, but all four were solo shots. It's Albies' first long ball since returning from the IL in late August, giving him 29 on the season, but he's been locked in at the plate lately, batting .407 (11-for-27) over a six-game hitting streak.

Gorman went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Tuesday's 10-6 win over Atlanta.

A two-run blast in the third inning off Michael Soroka was followed by a solo shot in the ninth off Michael Tonkin, as Gorman snapped a 16-game homer drought that extended back to Aug, 4. In nine contests since recovering from a back issue and being activated off the IL, Gorman's batting just .133 (4-for-30) with 17 strikeouts, but three of his four hits and five of his six RBI during that stretch have come in the last two games.
