McMahon went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and an additional RBI in Wednesday's 9-2 win over Tampa Bay.

McMahon extended New York's lead to 2-0 in the second inning with a two-out RBI single before breaking the game open with a grand slam off Mason Englert in the third. It was a much-needed performance for McMahon, who'd gone just 1-for-17 in six games prior to Wednesday. Overall, he's slashing .210/.276/.352 across 356 plate appearances this year with 11 homers, 40 RBI and 32 runs scored.

Rodden isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Houston.

Rodden will take a seat Wednesday after failing to record a hit in each of his last 10 at-bats -- seven of which ended in a strikeout. Weston Wilson will fill in at third base and bat ninth.

Kuroda-Grauer went 0-for-2 in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Angels.

Kuroda-Grauer came up empty in his first MLB game since July 20 after recovering from surgery for a ruptured testicle. The 23-year-old has impressed in a small sample with the Athletics, slashing .403/.422/.565 with a homer, four RBI and eight runs in 64 plate appearances. Kuroda-Grauer started Tuesday's contest at second base and figures to continue seeing action at the keystone over the club's final five games of the regular season.

The Rockies outrighted Machin to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Machin was removed from the 40-man roster last week and has since passed through waivers. Because he's been outrighted previously, Machin has the ability to decline the Rockies' outright assignment and become a free agent. However, it's unclear what the infielder's plans are.

Red Sox manager Chad Tracy indicated Tuesday that Mead (wrist) is a long shot to be available for the postseason, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Mead has been sidelined for almost two months with a fractured left wrist that he suffered in his second plate appearance after joining the Red Sox. He began hitting off a tee last week, but his overall progress has been slow and it seems he's likely to run out of time. Mead is under team control through the 2030 campaign.

Arenado went 3-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Rockies.

Arenado finished the Diamondbacks' scoring with a solo homer in the seventh inning. It was the second home run in as many games and 28th of the season for the third basemen, who also extended a hit streak to eight contests. He's helped carry Arizona during its playoff chase in September, going 21-for-51 (.412) with three doubles, seven home runs, 14 RBI and 10 runs scored over his last 14 contests.

Guzman went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, a walk and an additional RBI in Tuesday's 9-7 loss to the Athletics.

Guzman has gone 14-for-55 (.255) over 16 games in September, picking up just three extra-base hits along the way. The infielder provided a big play Tuesday, though the Angels' bullpen gave up the lead later on. Guzman is now batting .226 with a .622 OPS, eight homers, 33 RBI, 31 runs scored, nine doubles and two stolen bases over 285 plate appearances this season.

Gelof went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Angels.

Gelof gave the Athletics their margin of victory with his eighth-inning blast. The infielder has gone 7-for-20 (.350) with two homers and six RBI over his last five games. For the season, he's reached the 20-homer mark for the first time while batting .253 with a .781 OPS, 52 RBI, 71 runs scored, 15 doubles, two triples and 14 stolen bases over 106 games.

Paredes went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Mariners.

Paredes has five homers over his last 12 games and 23 long balls on the year. The infielder has provided steady hitting in September, batting .299 (20-for-67) over 19 games this month. He's hitting .262 with an .800 OPS, 91 RBI, 65 runs scored, 26 doubles and a triple over 150 contests in 2026.

Loftin went 1-for-4 with a homer and two RBI during Tuesday's 14-11 loss to the White Sox.

Loftin extended his modest hitting streak to four games and blasted his first long ball since Sept. 1 on Tuesday. The 27-year-old launched a solo shot off Anthony Kay in the third inning to cut the lead. This year, Loftin is batting .240/.323/.387 with eight homers and 45 RBI over 422 plate appearances.
