Pederson (personal) is on track to return to action Saturday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Pederson was placed on the paternity list Tuesday. The slugger hit against rehabbing reliever Pedro Baez on Wednesday, but he'll take a few more days before rejoining the active roster.

Miller went 1-for-3 with an RBI fielder's choice, a double and a run during a win over the Twins in the second game of a doubleheader Tuesday.

The veteran utility man checked into the contest mired in a 1-for-16 slump that had encompassed his previous five games, but he was able to snap a 2-2 tie in the third inning with his fielder's choice groundout that plated Harrison Bader. Despite his recent slump, Miller's season line sits at an impressive .282/.404/.541, figures partly comprised of 11 extra-base hits (five doubles, one triple, five home runs) and 21 RBI across 104 plate appearances.

Torrens went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in a loss to the Giants on Tuesday.

The recently acquired backstop, much like former Padres teammate and fellow trade-deadline arrival Ty France, is thriving in his new Seattle digs. Torrens has now hit safely in three straight games, with Tuesday's double marking his first extra-base hit in a Mariners uniform. Overall, Torrens has reached safely in all four games of his tenure with his new squad, scoring twice along the way.

Dickerson isn't in Wednesday's lineup against the Mariners.

Dickerson will retreat to the bench Wednesday with southpaw Nick Margevicius on the mound for the Mariners. Darin Ruf will take over in left field.

Vogelbach is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Tigers.

Vogelbach has started four straight games, all against right-handers, but he will head to the bench with lefty Matthew Boyd on the hill. Vogelbach has a hit in all four games he has started with the Brewers and is hitting .385 with one run, one RBI and a 3:2 K:BB in 13 at-bats over that span.

Belt went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.

Belt recorded hits in 10 of his final 14 games in August, and he doesn't have plans to slow down with the calendar flipping to September. The veteran first baseman has already produced three multi-hit performances in seven September games and is slashing .444/.565/.944 with two homers and six RBI across that span.

Lewis went 2-for-5 and added a stolen base in Tuesday's loss against the Giants.

Lewis got off to a strong start this season but has crashed down to earth over the last few weeks, and he is hitting just .171 with a .618 OPS, two home runs and three RBI over his last 10 games. In fact, this was his first multi-hit game since Aug. 22, when he produced three knocks against the Rangers.

Ohtani went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in a loss to Texas on Tuesday.

Lots of things have gone wrong for Ohtani this season -- in addition to getting hurt again on the mound, he has posted a subpar .194 batting average -- but the slugger has at least been able to flash his ability on the basepaths, going a perfect 7-for-7 in steal attempts, tying him for the 10th-highest figure in the AL. He has been especially proficient in that category of late, swiping five bags over his last 11 games.

Brantley went 5-for-6 with a home run, three doubles, two runs, two RBI and a walk during Tuesday's doubleheader against Oakland.

Houston combined for only 13 hits between the two games, with Brantley powering the offense with four extra-base knocks. The veteran slugger is 18-for-42 with three homers, six doubles, nine runs and 12 RBI across his past 12 contests.

Rooker went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during a 6-4 loss to the Cardinals in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

After sitting on the bench during a 7-3 win by the Twins in the matinee, Rooker took over for Jake Cave in right field during the nightcap and launched his first career homer off Daniel Ponce de Leon in the second inning to briefly give Minnesota a lead. Rooker hasn't look out of place since his promotion, slashing .278/.316/.500 through his first six MLB games with five RBI.
