Harper went 1-for-1 with a solo home run, two RBI and three walks in the loss to the Brewers on Wednesday.

The right fielder took Freddy Peralta deep in the first inning before drawing a bases-loaded walk in the third, driving in teammate Travis Jankowski. The home run marked his 29th blast of the season. He has now secured at least one hit in 13 of his last 14 contests while batting .392 with six home runs and 16 RBI over that stretch.

Soler went 3-for-4 with a walk in Wednesday's loss to the Nationals.

The big right fielder strung together a trio of singles for his third three-hit performance since being acquired from Kansas City at the trade deadline. After a dreadful first four months with the Royals (.658 OPS), Soler has awakened to hit .287/.376/.535 with nine homers in 150 plate appearances for his new club, and he'll take a season-long six-game hitting streak (10-28) into Thursday's series finale against the Nationals.

Solak went 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Wednesday's 8-5 win over Arizona.

The 26-year-old is now 3-for-7 across his last two games after going three contests without a hit. Solak had produced an 11-game hitting streak after he rejoined the Rangers' big-league roster. For the year, the infielder is slashing .241/.307/.372 with 11 home runs, six stolen bases, 43 RBI, 52 runs scored and 15 doubles across 437 plate appearances. He'll remain a top option at second base while Andy Ibanez (hamstring) is out.

Belt went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored in Wednesday's 7-4 win over Colorado.

All three of Belt's hits were singles, but he scored on a sixth-inning Brandon Crawford home run and a ninth-inning Evan Longoria double. Through his last 12 games, Belt has recorded four multi-hit efforts while going 16-for-50 (.320) in that span. He's up to a .250/.353/.537 slash line with 21 homers, 43 RBI, 48 runs scored and three stolen bases through 312 plate appearances overall.

Cabrera went 4-for-4 with a double, three singles and three RBI in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Pirates.

Cabrera mashed a season-high four hits Wednesday in Pittsburgh, smacking an RBI double in the first before plating two more runs on base hits in the third and fifth innings. With this outburst, the 38-year-old is now 10-for-19 to start September.

Dickerson (hamstring) worked out in San Francisco on Wednesday and could soon start a minor-league rehab assignment, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Dickerson landed on the 10-day injured list over the weekend with a right hamstring strain, but he doesn't look on track for an extended absence. If he continues to make good progress in his recovery, he could head out on a brief rehab assignment this weekend or early next week.

Jimenez (knee) is out of the lineup Wednesday against the A's.

X-rays confirmed Jimenez suffered a bruised right knee during Tuesday's win over Oakland, and it's not a major surprise the White Sox will give him at least one game out of the lineup. According to James Fegan of The Athletic, manager Tony La Russa said the 24-year-old is dealing with a significant bone bruise, and the skipper would be "pleasantly surprised" if Jimenez is able to play Thursday. Andrew Vaughn will take over in left field while Gavin Sheets serves as the designated hitter.

Turner isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Turner will get a breather after he went 2-for-5 with two home runs, three RBI and two strikeouts Tuesday. Max Muncy will shift to the hot corner while Albert Pujols starts at first base.

McCutchen isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

McCutchen will get a day off after he went 1-for-12 with a solo home run, a walk and three strikeouts across the last three games. Odubel Herrera will shift to left field while Travis Jankowski starts in center.

Cabrera is in the lineup Wednesday versus the Pirates, manning first base and batting cleanup.

After resting in games Sunday and Monday, Cabrera will close out the series in Pittsburgh with back-to-back starts at first base, as anticipated. The two days off appeared to do Cabrera some good, as he returned to the lineup Tuesday and went 3-for-4 with a double in the Tigers' 3-2 loss.
