Whitcomb went 1-for-4 with a double in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Pirates.

Whitcomb hit a leadoff double in the fifth inning, marking his second two-bagger of the season. The 27-year-old has appeared in 10 straight games since being recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Aug. 24, batting .118 with three RBI, two runs scored and a home run in 36 plate appearances during that time. Across 60 plate appearances between Houston and San Francisco this season, he's slashing .123/.138/.316 with eight RBI, four runs scored and three long balls.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a home run and four total RBI in Wednesday's 9-5 loss to the Brewers.

Bregman hit his 24th home run of the season in the first inning, a two-run shot against Milwaukee ace Jacob Misiorowski. The veteran third baseman just wrapped up a tremendous month of August and is carrying momentum into September. He has been on a power surge as well with eight long balls in his last 12 games. Bregman is certainly heating up at the right time for fantasy managers who have stayed patient all year.

Baty went 1-for-2 with a three-run double during the Mets' 10-4 win over the Rays on Wednesday.

Baty doubled the Mets' 3-0 lead in the third inning with a bases-clearing double off Griffin Jax. It was Baty's fifth game of at least three RBI this season and second since Aug. 1. Since the All-Star break, he is slashing .229/.281/.434 with four home runs and 12 RBI across 89 plate appearances.

Karros has cleared concussion protocol and will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Hartford on Thursday, Eli Whitney of Blake Street Banter reports.

Karros has been on the 7-day injured list twice since mid-August, which is worrisome, but he appears to be in the clear now. He is slated to remain with Hartford through the end of the weekend. If all goes well, Karros appears poised for a return to the Rockies' active roster next week as the club begins a road trip.

Bohm is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Arizona.

He'll receive a routine day of rest after starting each of the last eight contests. With Bohm out, Kyle Schwarber will slot in at first base in the series finale.

Urias was removed from Tuesday's game versus the Dodgers with left arm soreness, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Urias has missed a large chunk of this season with tennis elbow in both arms, so his removal Tuesday could be related to that. He cranked a solo home run and added a walk Tuesday before being removed. Consider Urias day-to-day for the time being.

House is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus Atlanta.

House handled third base each of the last two days, but he will exit the lineup during Wednesday's afternoon tilt. Andres Chaparro will grab a start at third base for the Nationals.

Gonzales went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Tuesday's 13-12 win over the Giants.

Getting a rare start at DH and hitting cleanup, Gonzales was one of five Pirates with multiple hits on the night. The 27-year-old infielder has been swinging a hot bat all season, and over his last 20 games he's slashing .333/.435/.403 with five doubles, two steals, six runs and eight RBI. Gonzales still doesn't offer much power, however -- his homer drought stands at 33 games, and he has just six long balls in 536 plate appearances on the year.

Machado is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Cincinnati.

It's the first day off since the All-Star break for Machado, who has just a .623 OPS with one home run since the beginning of August. Jake Cronenworth will start at third base while Machado gets a breather.

Urias went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 13-8 win over the Dodgers.

Urias has gone 3-for-18 (.167) with two homers over eight games since he returned from a bout of tennis elbow in both arms. The infielder is filling a part-time role between second base and third base as the Cardinals navigate a tricky stretch of injuries. Urias is batting .160 with a .641 OPS, four homers, eight RBI, 14 runs scored, three doubles and no stolen bases over 89 plate appearances this year.
