Bregman went 3-for-3 with a double, two runs scored and three RBI on Wednesday against the Mariners.

Bregman drove in a run in each of the second, fourth and sixth innings to tally his first multi-RBI performance since April 23. He had been quiet at the plate prior to Wednesday's offensive explosion, tallying only five hits in 34 at-bats across his last 10 games. Overall, Bregman is hitting .247/.347/.447 across 101 plate appearances to go along with four home runs, 16 RBI and 14 runs scored.

Suarez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Astros.

Suarez took Justin Verlander yard in the seventh inning to record his fourth home run of the season. Prior to the homer, Suarez had gone 0-for-19 with eight strikeouts across his last five starts. While Suarez continues to be a reasonable source of power, he has only a .202/.297/.427 line across 101 plate appearances to go along with 13 RBI and 12 runs scored.

Candelario went 3-for-7 with two doubles and two runs scored across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Pirates.

Still batting just .188 this season, Candelario is starting to show some signs of life. Factoring in Wednesday's production, the third baseman now has hits in four straight contests, including two multi-hit efforts. Candelario was much more productive at the plate the last two years than he has been so far in 2022, so fantasy managers will likely want to remain patient.

Chapman went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's win over the Yankees.

Chapman took Nestor Cortes deep in the bottom of the second inning, giving the Blue Jays a 1-0 lead. The homer was his fifth of the season and he now has 14 RBI. In his first season with the Blue Jays, Chapman has struggled to a .220/.290/.429 slash line over 91 at-bats.

Burger, who is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Cubs, is dealing with some soreness after colliding with the wall in foul territory Tuesday, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Burger went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Tuesday and never exited the contest, but he'll receive a day to rest up Wednesday in the series finale. He'll have Thursday's scheduled off day to aid in his recovery before Friday's series opener in Boston.

Manager Tony La Russa said Wednesday that Moncada (oblique) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list Monday, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

The 26-year-old has appeared in three games with Triple-A Charlotte since beginning his rehab assignment Saturday, and he'll apparently have a full week in the minors to get back up to speed. The oblique strain has sidelined Moncada for the first month of the season, but he's on track to make his season debut Monday versus the Guardians.

Burger isn't starting Wednesday against the Cubs, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Burger will get a day off after he went 2-for-6 with two RBI, a walk and four strikeouts over the last two games. Josh Harrison will shift to the hot corner while Leury Garcia starts at second base.

Nevin (groin) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Nevin picked up his fifth consecutive start in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to Minnesota, but his night ended early after he experienced right groin soreness. The injury will keep him on the bench Wednesday, but the 24-year-old may have been headed for a reserve role moving forward anyway now that Trey Mancini is back in action after recently missing a few games with rib soreness.

Paredes went 1-for-2 with two RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Athletics.

Paredes has drawn only one start since being recalled from Triple-A Durham on Sunday, though he entered Tuesday's game as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning. While he struck out in his initial plate appearance, Paredes redeemed himself with a two-run single in the following frame. There doesn't appear to be a consistent path to plate appearances for Paredes at this point, but he has collected two hits in first seven at-bats with the Rays.

The Royals recalled Rivera from Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday.

Kansas City optioned Rivera to Triple-A on Monday when the team needed to reduce its active roster from 28 to 26 men, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the big club just two days later since Carlos Santana (ankle) was moved to the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Though Santana's absence creates a void in the Royals' everyday lineup, Ryan O'Hearn and recent call-up MJ Melendez are expected to be bigger beneficiaries from playing-time standpoints than Rivera, who will likely serve as a utility infielder.
