Ramirez is not in Thursday's lineup against the Brewers.

He is hitting .258 with one home run and zero steals in nine games this month. Austin Dean gets the start in left field and will hit eighth.

Ohtani went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to Cleveland.

Ohtani plated the Angels' second run with a blast to right field in the fifth inning. The homer was his second in September after he hit only one round tripper in 96 at-bats in August. Overall, the Japanese slugger is slashing .286/.343/.505 with 18 home runs, 62 RBI and 12 steals in 425 plate appearances this season.

Soler went 4-for-5 with a double, two home runs and four RBI in Wednesday's 8-6 win over the White Sox.

The 27-year-old continues to eclipse his own franchise record for homers in a season with every new blast -- Soler now has 43, to go with his own personal bests of 106 RBI and an .899 OPS. With 28 doubles and 16 games left on the schedule, he also has an outside shot at matching or breaking another Royals record -- Hal McRae's 86 extra-base hits, set in 1977.

Jimenez went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Royals.

After starter Reynaldo Lopez put the White Sox in a 2-0 hole in the top of the first inning, Jimenez got it all back and then some with a three-run homer in the bottom of the inning. He later produced another run with a groundout. Jimenez has knocked in eight runs over the last two games.

Choi went 2-for-2 with three walks, two home runs and four RBI in Wednesday's 10-9 loss to the Rangers.

His three-run blast in the second inning helped Tampa tie the game up after Texas exploded for seven runs in the bottom of the first, and his solo shot in the ninth nearly knotted things up again, but in between Choi got picked off second base in the seventh -- one of four Rays caught napping on the basepaths over the course of the night. The 28-year-old now has 15 homers and 54 RBI on the year to go with his .259/.361/.438 slash line.

Harper went 1-for-2 with two walks, a stolen base and a run in a 3-1 loss against the Braves on Wednesday.

The 26-year-old is right about where he was last season in multiple categories during his first Phillies campaign. Harper is batting .255 with 31 home runs, 102 RBI, 88 runs and 12 steals in 513 at-bats this year, and he's swiped four of those bags since Aug. 31.

Turner will have an MRI on his sore left ankle, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

X-rays were inconclusive, but the ankle is still causing Turner discomfort so the Dodgers want to get to the bottom of the issue. Given that he needs an MRI Wednesday or Thursday, it seems unlikely that he would be able to return prior to this weekend's series against the Mets, at the earliest. The Dodgers have already won the NL West, so they can afford to be patient with Turner. Jedd Gyorko is starting at third base and hitting eighth Wednesday.

Pederson is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Orioles.

He will head to the bench with lefty John Means on the hill for Baltimore. Chris Taylor is starting in right field and hitting third.

Turner (ankle) is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Orioles.

Turner has been out since Sept. 7 although X-rays on his ankle were negative. It's unclear if he is day-to-day or a little worse than that. Jedd Gyorko will start at third base and hit eighth.

Canha went 3-for-6 with an RBI and three runs in Tuesday's blowout win over the Astros.

Canha singled and scored in the first inning, did the same in the second and did it a third time in the sixth, scoring three of his team's 21 runs on the day. He now owns an excellent .337/.449/.584 slash line over his last 24 games.
