Canha is out of the lineup Thursday versus the Dodgers.

Canha provided the only run for the Brewers in Wednesday night's 7-1 loss to Los Angeles with a solo homer in the top of the second inning, but William Contreras will fill the DH role Thursday as Victor Caratini steps in behind the plate.

Vientos was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to Aug. 16, with left wrist tendinitis, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Imaging scans taken Wednesday showed no structural damage, but Vientos will rest his wrist until at least late next week. Jonathan Arauz and Danny Mendick will likely share time at third base in his absence. Arauz is getting the start there in the Mets' series opener Thursday against the Cardinals.

Vientos (wrist) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's series opener at St. Louis.

Vientos missed Wednesday's series finale against the Pirates due to left wrist discomfort, but an MRI showed only inflammation and it seems like he'll be able to avoid the injured list. Jonathan Arauz is covering third base for the Mets on Thursday against the Cardinals. Daniel Vogelbach will fill the DH role.

Harper went 3-for-4 with a walk, two solo home runs and a third run scored in Wednesday's 9-4 win over the Blue Jays.

It's the first multi-homer performance of the season for Harper, who took Kevin Gausman deep in the third inning before wrapping up the scoring on the night with a blast to right-center field off Bowden Francis in the ninth. Harper is finding his groove in August, slashing .302/.356/.642 through 14 games with six doubles, four home runs, nine RBI and 10 runs as the Phillies begin their playoff push.

Lewis started at designated hitter and went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 9-7 win over Colorado.

Lewis doubled in the first inning and came home on Christian Walker's home run to give the Diamondbacks an early lead. Later in the game, Lourdes Gurriel was removed due to hip pain, the result of a play during Tuesday's game. As both are right-handed batters, Lewis is an ideal replacement should Gurriel's injury linger.

Canha went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-1 loss to the Dodgers.

Canha's blast was one of three hits for the Brewers, all of which went for extra bases. He took Clayton Kershaw deep in the second inning to briefly tie the game at 1-1. Canha has struggled with the Brewers so far, going 10-for-47 (.213) over 14 contests since he was traded from the Mets. He's now at a .240/.334/.375 slash line with seven homers, 35 RBI, 33 runs scored and seven stolen bases over 103 games this season.

Morel went 2-for-4 with a walk-off, three-run home run in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the White Sox.

Morel picked a great time for his 19th home run of the season, taking Gregory Santos deep with two runners on in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game for the Cubs. The 24-year-old has slowed down since hitting nine home runs in his first 12 games of the year, but he's still been a solid source of power for his team and fantasy managers. Morel hasn't run as much this season, however, stealing only four bases so far after swiping 10 as a rookie in 2022.

Vientos, who is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, was diagnosed with left wrist inflammation after undergoing an MRI, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

Vientos was sent in for the MRI after he was lifted for a pinch hitter in Tuesday's 7-4 loss due to his bothersome wrist. While he appears to have avoided a serious injury, he'll remain day-to-day heading into the Mets' four-game series in St. Louis this weekend.

Blackmon is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Diamondbacks.

Blackmon started at designated hitter and batted leadoff for both of his first two games since returning from the injured list, but he'll take a seat Wednesday for a day game after a night game. Ryan McMahon will get a day out of the field and replace Blackmon as the Rockies' DH.

Vientos is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

Jonathan Arauz will get the nod at third base for the series finale while Vientos gets a breather following a stretch of 10 consecutive starts. Though Vientos has taken hold of an everyday role in the aftermath of the Aug. 1 trade deadline, he's provided little value for fantasy managers. On the month, Vientos is hitting just .154 with no home runs, two RBI, one run and no stolen bases in 14 games.
