Correa went 0-for-3 in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to the Rangers.

Correa survived a scare Tuesday when he fouled a ball off his ankle that forced him to leave that night's game. He's appeared in 48 of Houston's 49 games, the first time in four seasons Correa has not missed significant time due to injury.

Anderson went 1-for-4 and was caught stealing in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Twins.

Anderson extended his hit streak to five games (13-for-23) and has hit safely in 12 of 14 September games. He's owned the month for two seasons. In 2019, he slashed .374/.400/.566 over 23 games on his way to the AL batting title. This season, he's slashing .450/.477/.600 over 14 games and is tied with the Yankees' DJ LeMahieu for tops in the AL.

Crawford went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and two doubles in Wednesday's 9-3 win over the Mariners.

Crawford smacked his first double in the second inning and scored on a Mauricio Dubon single. In the seventh, Crawford added a solo shot for the Giants' final run. The shortstop is now slashing .281/.349/.459 with five homers, 18 RBI, 22 runs scored and a stolen base through 43 contests. This was his second multi-hit effort in 10 games in September.

Correa (ankle) is starting Wednesday against the Rangers.

Correa left Tuesday's game after fouling a ball off his left ankle, and X-rays revealed a bone bruise. However, he'll be able to return to the field Wednesday, playing shortstop and batting seventh.

Edman, who went 2-for-4 with a run in a loss to the Brewers on Tuesday, is hitting .318 (7-for-22) with a home run, two RBI, five walks, a stolen base and four runs across his last six games entering Wednesday's doubleheader.

The versatile 25-year-old continues to serve as a highly valuable defensive asset for manager Mike Shildt, but he's certainly picking up his contributions at the plate. Helping Edman to progressively increase his presence on the basepaths has been an improved walk rate, a figure that's up to 7.2 percent this year after sitting at 4.6 percent in his 2019 rookie campaign.

The Mariners reinstated Crawford (personal) from the bereavement list Wednesday.

Crawford missed five games after leaving the team last week following a death in his family. Now that he's been reinstated, Crawford should step back in as the Mariners' everyday shortstop and primary leadoff option in Wednesday's "home" game against the Giants in San Francisco.

Fletcher went 3-for-5 with a double, a run and an RBI in a loss to Arizona on Tuesday.

Fletcher had gone an uncharacteristic 1-for-10 in his first two games after returning from an ankle injury, but he looked more like his usual self with Tuesday's three-hit effort. The performance was Fletcher's sixth this season with at least three hits, five of which have come over his last 13 games. The 26-year-old is slashing .308/.371/.428 with an impressive 11.2 percent strikeout rate over 178 plate appearances this season.

Lindor went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, a stolen base, a walk, four RBI and one run scored Tuesday against the Cubs.

Lindor single-handedly powered Cleveland's offense. He clubbed an RBI double in the third frame and followed that up with an RBI single two innings later. However, his biggest contribution came in the ninth inning, when he slugged a two-run home run to tie the contest. For the season, Lindor has maintained a .286/.346/.469 line with eight home runs, four steals, 24 RBI and 26 runs scored across 48 contests.

Baez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two runs scored and a stolen base Tuesday against Cleveland.

Baez started his strong performance with a solo home run in the second inning to record his seventh long ball of the season. It was his first home run since Sept. 2. In the eighth frame, he reached base after being hit by a pitch and swiped his second bag of the season during the next at-bat. To this point in the campaign, Baez is hitting .206/.245/.378 with 20 RBI and 25 runs scored across 48 contests.

Anderson went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored Tuesday against the Twins.

Anderson took Tyler Clippard yard in the sixth inning to tally his eighth homer of the season. While that was his first long ball since Sept. 3, Anderson now has four consecutive multi-hit appearances, totaling four RBI and four runs scored in that span. Overall, he's hitting .377/.313/.605 with eight homers, five steals, 19 RBI and 41 runs scored across 174 plate appearances.
