Hayes went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an RBI and a run scored Wednesday as the Pirates beat the Cubs 2-1.

Hayes teamed up with Adam Frazier to hit back-to-back home runs off Kyle Hendricks in the first and it proved to be enough with the Pirates hanging on to a narrow 2-1 victory. The rookie third baseman is hitting an impressive .333/.403/.623 with four home runs, nine RBI and 12 runs scored in 20 games since being promoted Sept. 1.

Longoria went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a pair of walks and another run scored during Wednesday's win over the Rockies.

Longoria got the Giants on the board with a solo blast against Ryan Castellani in the fourth inning. The long ball was his seventh of the year, and he is batting .263 with 27 RBI.

Muncy went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Wednesday's loss to Oakland.

Muncy hit a two-run home run for the second night in a row, this time with two outs against Sean Manaea in the third inning. The long ball was the 12th of the year for Muncy, who is slashing just .193/.332/.401 overall.

Segura went 2-for-5 with one run and two RBI during Wednesday's 12-3 win over the Nationals.

The 30-year-old didn't have any extra-base hits Wednesday, but he came through with a two-run single with the bases loaded during the eighth inning. Segura is 11-for-27 in his last eight games and has a .272/.358/.439 slash line with seven homers, 28 runs and 25 RBI through 51 games this season.

Suarez went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Brewers.

His 15th of the year blew the game open for Cincinnati and helped put the club back over .500. The new rules in MLB helped in this case, as Suarez got the best of a lefty reliever (Alex Claudio) he probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to face in past seasons. Suarez is now up to .205/.318/.486 with 15 homers, 36 RBI, 29 runs scored and two stolen bases.

The Nationals placed Kieboom on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left wrist contusion, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

Kieboom wasn't progressing as quickly as hoped after being struck in the hand by a 95 mile-per-hour Zack Wheeler sinker in Monday's game against the Phillies, prompting the Nationals to shutter him for the season. After a rough 11-game cameo with the big club in 2019, the 23-year-old showed slight improvement this season, but his .202/.344/.212 slash line over 122 plate appearances still left much to be desired. Kieboom will likely have to battle for an everyday role at third base in spring training rather than being handed the job outright.

Davis isn't in Wednesday's lineup against the Rays.

Davis has gone 0-for-19 with eight walks and 10 strikeouts over the past six games, and he'll get a breather Wednesday. Todd Frazier will take over at the hot corner.

Riley isn't starting Wednesday against the Marlins.

Riley has been a staple in Atlanta's lineup recently, but he'll get a day off Wednesday. Adeiny Hechavarria will start at third base in his place.

Kieboom (hand) remains out of the lineup Wednesday against the Phillies.

Kieboom is dealing with a bruised left hand after a hit-by-pitch forced him out of Monday's contest. He sat out both games of Tuesday's twin bill, and he'll remain sidelined for the series finale against the Phillies. Brock Holt will start at the hot corner Wednesday.

Farmer started at shortstop and went 0-for-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Milwaukee.

The shortstop spot has been a black hole in the Cincinnati lineup for much of September, so manager David Bell opted to give Farmer a look at the position in the hope he might provide a spark. The move didn't pay off, with the hitless showing dropping Farmer's season-long average to .259. Farmer will retreat to his normal bench role in the series finale with the Brewers on Wednesday while Freddy Galvis starts at shortstop.
