Solano went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Twins.

Solano entered as a pinch hitter for Jurickson Profar in the fifth inning after the Twins built a 10-0 lead and homered to put the Padres on the board. He's been effective in a reserve role for San Diego this season, slashing .309/.360/.440 with six home runs, 28 RBI, 25 runs and a stolen base over 225 plate appearances.

Arenado went 3-for-5 with a grand slam, a double, a walk and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 10-6 extra-inning win over the Brewers.

Arenado came up clutch with the game tied in the bottom of the 10th inning to secure the win for the Cardinals. The grand slam was his third homer over his last seven games. The third baseman is batting .319 (22-for-69) with 14 RBI over 18 contests in August, which has been a resurgent month for him. Arenado is up to a .272/.326/.406 slash line, 14 homers, 59 RBI, 53 runs scored, 19 doubles and two stolen bases over 119 games this season.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that Berti (calf) is expected to begin a rehab assignment Friday with Double-A Somerset, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

After experiencing no setbacks with his right calf upon being cleared for full baseball activities over the weekend, Berti is ready to play in games for the first time since late May. He'll likely remain on assignment at least through the weekend while he looks to regain his timing at the plate following a lengthy layoff, but if he fares well, Berti could make it back from the 60-day injured list before the end of August. Berti had been filling a utility role for the Yankees prior to straining his calf, but he could pick up regular at-bats at third base once he's activated. The Yankees have been leaning on youngsters Oswaldo Cabrera and Oswald Peraza at the hot corner since Jazz Chisholm (elbow) landed on the injured list Aug. 14.

DeJong is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

DeJong will hit the bench after he had started in five of the past six games while going 7-for-20 with two home runs and two doubles. Though he'll give way to Maikel Garcia in the series finale, DeJong may be the Royals' preferred option of the two at third base while he's swinging a hotter bat at the moment. Garcia has turned in a weak .575 OPS since the beginning of August and was on the bench in each of the Royals' previous three matchups with right-handers.

Hernaiz is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

It's the second time on the bench in the past three days for Hernaiz, who has a .206/.289/.294 slash line through 11 games in August. Tyler Nevin will start at the hot corner and bat sixth in his place.

Bregman (elbow) went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Red Sox.

After missing Houston's previous five games with a swollen elbow, Bregman rejoined the lineup Wednesday at designated hitter and made his presence felt right away, leading off the bottom of the first inning with a solo shot off Cooper Criswell. According to Chandler Rome of The Athletic, Bregman said that his right elbow will be a "fluid situation" for the rest of the season, and though he resumed throwing Wednesday, he could continue to see regular starts at DH rather than third base to help manage the issue. Overall, Bregman is slashing .261/.318/.450 with 20 home runs, 60 RBI, 66 runs and three stolen bases across 513 plate appearances on the season.

Chisholm (elbow) took batting practice on the field ahead of Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

Wednesday marks the first time Chisholm has swung a bat since a sprained left elbow sent him to the injured list last week. Manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that it would be "ambitious" for the 26-year-old could come off the injured list when first eligible Saturday, but Chisholm at least seems to be trending in the right direction.

Cabrera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

Cabrera has now given way to Oswald Peraza at third base in three consecutive matchups, all against left-handed pitchers. The Yankees could still view Cabrera as their preferred option at the hot corner versus right-handed pitching, at least while Jazz Chisholm (elbow) remains on the injured list.

Peraza will start at third base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game agains the Guardians.

Peraza has now started in three consecutive games, but since all have come against left-handed pitching, it's unclear if he'll be given a look as the Yankees' primary third baseman while Jazz Chisholm (elbow) is on the injured list. Oswaldo Cabrera could still be the Yankees' preferred option at the position versus right-handed pitching.

Wade will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Twins, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Wade is in the lineup for a third straight game, as the Padres appear to have settled on him as their primary replacement at shortstop for Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Though he is a competent defender in the middle infield, Wade shouldn't be expected to provide much fantasy value other than the occasional stolen base while he's getting regular playing time. He's batting .231 with no home runs in 138 plate appearances with the Padres in 2024 and is a lifetime .219/.295/.291 hitter over parts of eight seasons in the big leagues.
