LeMahieu went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in a 6-2 victory over the Tigers on Wednesday.

LeMahieu belted a 411-foot solo shot in the second inning to give New York a 3-0 lead. It was the continuation of a surprising recent uptick in power by the veteran infielder, who has gone deep five times (all solo shots) over his past eight contests. Prior to the surge, LeMahieu had hit just eight homers over his initial 104 games this season.

Bride remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

Though he seemed to have supplanted Jordan Diaz as the Athletics' primary third baseman last week, Bride now finds himself on the bench for the fourth consecutive game. While starting each of the five games before that, Bride went 3-for-15 with a double and a pair of walks, so he didn't exactly stake a strong claim to a regular spot in the Oakland lineup.

Moustakas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

With lefty Cristopher Sanchez taking the hill for the Phillies, the lefty-hitting Moustakas will retreat to the bench. Eduardo Escobar will step in as the hot corner in place of Moustakas.

Lewis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Guardians.

Lewis got the Twins on the board Tuesday with a solo blast off Hunter Gaddis in the fourth inning, cutting the deficit to 3-1. It's Lewis' third straight game with a homer and his fifth long ball in his last seven contests. Since returning from the IL on Aug. 15, the 24-year-old infielder's batting .294 (15-for-51) with a 1.026 OPS. Overall, he's slashing a robust .315/.363/.534 with nine homers, 29 RBI, 21 runs scored and two stolen bases across 157 plate appearances this season.

Moncada is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

He'll give way at third base to Elvis Andrus in the series finale. Moncada started in each of the last six games, going 9-for-21 with a home run, three doubles, two walks, six RBI and three runs.

Paredes went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's win over Miami.

Paredes tied the game at 2-2 in the sixth inning with an RBI single and later put the finishing touches on Tampa Bay's 11-2 victory with a ninth-inning, three-run blast. The 24-year-old infielder now owns a modest eight-game hitting streak, going 13-for-35 with four home runs, 12 RBI, nine runs and an impressive 1.192 OPS during that stretch.

Bregman went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox.

Bregman opened the scoring with a home run off Brayan Bello in the first inning, his 22nd of the season and fourth in his last 13 games. The 29-year-old third baseman has continued to swing a hot bat -- he's gone 31-for-84 (.369) with 13 extra-base hits over his previous 21 contests. Bregman's slash line is up to .265/.365/.447 with 89 RBI and 85 runs scored across 597 plate appearances on the campaign.

McKinstry went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Yankees.

McKinstry now has hits in three straight games and seven of his last eight appearances. The utility man is still only batting .243 overall, though that's a significant improvement from the .199 mark he posted with the Cubs and Dodgers last season. McKinstry's versatility makes him useful for the Tigers, but he's typically not the most exciting fantasy option.

Rafaela is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Browne says that the original plan was for Rafaela to start in center field in his major-league debut Tuesday while Adam Duvall received a night off. However, after Duvall homered again Monday -- his sixth homer in eight games -- manager Alex Cora changed his mind. Rafaela might only be around until Wilyer Abreu (paternity) returns.

Henderson went 2-for-4 with a walk, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Monday's 9-0 win over the White Sox.

Henderson has hit safely in 12 of his last 13 games, batting .364 (20-for-55) with eight extra-base hits and three steals in that span. He's up to nine thefts on the season -- while he's had an impactful bat and provided solid defense, he's still not a huge threat to run. The infielder is slashing .251/.329/.479 with 22 home runs, 65 RBI and 75 runs scored over 120 contests.
