Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Orioles.

Ramirez has multiple hits in seven of his last 14 games, going 20-for-56 (.357) while adding three home runs and five steals in that span as he continues to be a true five-category contributor. The third baseman is slashing .279/.354/.481 with 24 homers, 27 thefts, 79 RBI and 84 runs scored across 148 games this season, numbers that represent a bit of a down year for the 31-year-old.

Urias is out of the lineup for Thursday's game in Cleveland.

Urias started Wednesday in Houston, but he's now been in the lineup just three times over the Orioles' last 10 contests. Adam Frazier is at second base and Jordan Westburg will patrol third Thursday.

Peraza is not in the lineup Thursday against the Blue Jays.

Peraza will get a day of rest after making seven straight starts at third base while going 6-for-27 (.222) with a homer and a double. Isiah Kiner-Falefa is manning the hot corner for the Yankees in Thursday's series finale versus Toronto.

Gelof went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Mariners.

He took George Kirby deep in the fourth inning to get Oakland on the board, but Gelof's squad was already down 2-0 at that point. The rookie second baseman is batting .310 (22-for-71) in September as he puts the finishing touches on an impressive MLB debut that has seen him rack up 13 homers and 13 steals in just 59 games.

Jung went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer and three total runs scored in Wednesday's victory over the Red Sox.

After missing six weeks with a fractured thumb, Jung is now 5-for-14 (.357) in three games since returning to the Rangers' lineup. While the injury may have hampered his Rookie of the Year odds, Jung's still had a breakout campaign, slashing .277/.324/.492 with 23 homers, 73 runs scored and 70 RBI through 475 plate appearances.

Garcia went 3-for-5 in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Guardians.

Garcia slumped earlier in the month, but he's gone 9-for-26 (.346) over his last seven games. The infielder is now at a .276/.326/.369 slash line through 115 games, primarily serving as the Royals' leadoff hitter for over half of the campaign. He's added 22 stolen bases, four home runs, 49 RBI, 53 runs scored, 20 doubles and four triples.

Lewis (hamstring) will have an MRI when the Twins return home for this weekend's series against the Angels, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

As Hayes says, this situation is still very much to be determined, as a hamstring strain could mean the end of Lewis' regular-season play. The Twins are off Thursday, and Kyle Farmer figures to be an everyday player in the short term, especially with Carlos Correa (plantar fasciitis) landing on the injured list Wednesday.

Moncada went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Tuesday's loss to the Nationals.

Moncada put the White Sox ahead 2-1 in the seventh inning with a 412-foot blast off Jackson Rutledge, his ninth homer of the season. The 28-year-old third baseman has put together a strong second half, batting .331 (42-for-127) with six homers and a .925 OPS in his last 35 games. Overall, Moncada's slashing .262/.304/.417 with 38 RBI and 35 runs scored across 329 plate appearances this season.

Bregman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks in Tuesday's 9-5 loss against the Orioles.

He entered Tuesday's game hitless in five of his last seven games, but Bregman delivered a solo home run off Kyle Gibson in the third inning for his 24th long ball of 2023. The homer officially pushed him past his 2022 total, marking the third baseman's most home runs since 2019.

Lewis (hamstring tightness) is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Reds.

It's no surprise that Lewis won't play in Wednesday's day game after exiting with trainers Tuesday night with what is currently being categorized as hamstring tightness. Fortunately, it seems he avoided re-injuring his right knee, which has been operated on twice. Lewis also spent time on the injured list this year with an oblique strain. Willi Castro is starting at third base and batting fifth. Minnesota has an off day Thursday prior to a weekend series at home against the Angels.
