Davis went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 13-7 loss to the Padres.

Davis flexed some opposite-field power with his second-inning blast to right. The 29-year-old has gone 8-for-24 (.333) with three homers in seven contests for the Giants since he was acquired from the Mets last week. For the season, he owns a .249/.330/.400 slash line with seven long balls, 25 RBI, 30 runs scored and a stolen base through 233 plate appearances. As long as he continues to hit well, Davis should maintain steady playing time, especially against southpaws, and he'll likely get some games versus right-handers too.

Castro went 2-for-4 with a triple and a run scored Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.

Castro was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday and has started both games at second base since. On Wednesday, he tallied a two-out triple in the sixth inning and ultimately came around to score on a double by Greg Allen. Castro has hit only .205/.279/.321 across 86 plate appearances in the majors this season, though it seems as if the Pirates are interested in finding him consistent playing time across the final two months.

Newman went 3-for-5 with a stolen base and a run in a 6-4 win against Arizona on Wednesday.

Newman was a catalyst atop the team's batting order, rapping three singles and scoring a run. He had been struggling coming into the contest, going 4-for-30 over his first seven games in August. Newman's hits tend to come in bunches -- he has nine multi-hit performances over 40 games this season but is batting a modest .269 overall.

Arenado went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, two total runs and two total RBI in a 9-5 victory against Colorado on Wednesday.

Arenado got the scoring started for St. Louis with a first-inning, run-scoring double. He plated another run in the sixth with a solo homer to left field. Arenado has hit safely in eight straight games and is batting .467 (14-for-30) with four homers and 11 RBI over that stretch.

Muncy left Wednesday's win over Minnesota in the fifth inning after a ground ball hit him in the hand. X-rays after the game were negative, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

Muncy went 1-for-2 with a home run before departing. It doesn't sound like a serious injury, but he may need to sit out a game or two.

Rosario has gone 21-for-44 (.477) with four homers, three steals, 13 RBI and 16 runs in his last 11 games for Triple-A El Paso.

These are only the latest in a lengthy series of exploits for Rosario, who's racked up an eye-popping .373/.452/.741 batting line across the last 49 games, lifting his season line to .299/.385/.529 with 18 homers and 18 steals. Rosario's development this season has been nothing short of remarkable, but it's hard to see the competing Padres finding many reps for him at the big-league level this season.

Wisdom is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Nationals.

Wisdom will get a breather after he went 2-for-8 with three strikeouts over the first two games of the series. P.J. Higgins will take over at first base and bat eighth in the series finale.

Machado went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Giants.

Machado picked a great time for his 20th homer of the year, as it was a walkoff blast to answer the Giants' three-run rally in the top of the ninth inning. Aside from the shortened 2020 campaign, Machado has reached the 20-homer mark in seven straight full seasons. The third baseman has gone 10-for-38 (.263) with two homers and six RBI through 10 games in August. For the season, he's slashing .290/.362/.509 with 63 RBI, 70 runs scored and seven stolen bases in 102 contests.

Muncy went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and an additional RBI in a 10-3 win against the Twins on Tuesday.

Muncy connected on a solo shot off Minnesota starter Joe Ryan in the second inning and added an RBI double in the seventh to extend his hitting streak to a modest six games, coinciding with the start of August. During the stretch, the 31-year-old is slashing .375/.400/.875 with three home runs and doubles apiece in 24 at-bats and the successful week has upped Muncy's OPS from .613 to .665.

Riley went 3-for-6 with one triple, one homer, five RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 9-7 extra-innings win over the Red Sox.

The All-Star third baseman filled the stat sheet Tuesday with a home run, a triple, and five RBI. The home run was Riley's first since July 29, and the strong performance helped propel Atlanta to the victory over the Red Sox. Tuesday's effort bolsters Riley's MVP case, as he improved to an NL-leading 255 total bases on the season.
