Henderson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and three total runs scored in Wednesday's 8-5 win over the Dodgers.

Henderson provided the Orioles' last run of the game with his fifth-inning blast. While he has just two multi-hit efforts in July, he's been consistent by batting .271 with only three hitless games this month. The infielder is up to 15 long balls, 41 RBI, 49 runs scored, five stolen bases and a .247/.343/.472 slash line on the year. He's batting .299 with a .948 OPS, 10 homers and 27 RBI since the start of June.

Devers started at third base and went 0-for-4 in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to Oakland.

Devers returned to the lineup after missing the two previous games with a calf injury. Prior to the injury, Devers was in a groove, going 10-for-27 with four doubles, three home runs and seven RBI over seven contests. The Red Sox are off Thursday and will return to action Friday at home against the Mets.

Peterson went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, two walks and an additional run in a win over the Red Sox on Wednesday.

Peterson's homer in the fourth inning with Shea Langeliers aboard plated the final two runs of the game for the Athletics. The veteran's start was his first since Sunday, and the productive day extended a brief surge that's now seen Peterson go 5-for-13 with a double, three RBI, four walks, a stolen base and four total runs in his last six games.

Suarez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Twins.

Suarez homered for the third straight game, and he's now swatted six of his 14 homers this season during July. The third baseman is still slugging just .394 on the year, his lowest mark since his rookie year in 2014, but he's certainly trending in the right direction. He's added 58 RBI, 40 runs scored, a stolen base and 15 doubles while batting .226 through 95 contests.

Prieto is hitting .324 with two home runs, one steal and eight strikeouts in 80 plate appearances since getting promoted to Triple-A Norfolk on June 20.

Hitting for a very high average is nothing new to the 24-year-old Cuban infielder, as he hit .364 for Double-A Bowie this season and hit .340 for High-A Aberdeen in 2022. Prieto has a 21.7 percent hard-hit rate, and most of his six home runs on the season have been wall scrapers, but his 7.7 percent strikeout rate is elite enough for him to project for some sort of role in the big leagues.

Cabbage is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

With southpaw Carlos Rodon on the hill for the Yankees, the lefty-hitting Cabbage will retreat to the bench, paving the way for Eduardo Escobar to pick up a start at first base. Cabbage, who went 4-for-10 with a pair of doubles and two RBI while starting each of the past three games, should have a fairly clear path to playing time versus right-handed pitching so long as both Anthony Rendon (shin) and Brandon Drury (shoulder) are on the IL.

Moustakas is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Yankees.

Eduardo Escobar will cover first base and Luis Rengifo is at third as the Angels take on left-hander Carlos Rodon. The left-handed-hitting Moustakas has slashed just .257/.316/.371 this year versus southpaws.

Devers (calf) will start at third base and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Devers missed the first two games of the series in Oakland with a tight right calf, but he looks like he'll try and give it a go Wednesday. Fantasy players planning to use Devers in DFS lineups may still want to keep close tabs on the Boston lineup leading up to the 3:37 p.m. ET opening pitch just to ensure he isn't a late scratch.

Gelof is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

Gelof will hit the bench for the first time since receiving a promotion from Triple-A Las Vegas following the All-Star break. While starting at second base in each of his first five big-league contests, Gelof went 4-for-19 with two doubles, one triple, one walk, three runs, two RBI and two stolen bases. Jordan Diaz will spell him at the keystone in the series finale.

Walls will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Walls remains without a direct path to a spot in the everyday lineup, but he's picked up starts in four of the Rays' first six games out of the All-Star break at either second base, third base or shortstop. He'll be filling Wednesday for a resting Wander Franco, but despite his versatility, Walls isn't expected to handle a near-everyday role for the balance of the season while all of Tampa Bay's key infielders are available. Walls got off to a strong start to the season at the plate, but since the beginning of June, he's turned in a woeful .152/.264/.200 slash line.
