Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada has just 10 lifetime home runs. Nine have left the yard. The one that didn't helped his team beat Philadelphia on Wednesday night.

His inside-the-park sprint around the bases in the second inning gave New York a 3-0 lead and jump-started what turned out to be a rout.

Tejada also drove in runs with a single and groundout later in the game.

As expected, Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford is again out of the lineup Wednesday night against the host Dodgers with a calf issue.

Bruce Bochy revealed Tuesday that he would be sidelined for at least a couple days.

Crawford is on a 2-for-23 slide. His .263 average is at its lowest point since July 20.

Hill was used as a pinch-hitter.

The Angels activated the following players from the disabled list: Collin Cowgill, Taylor Featherston, David Freese, Matt Joyce and Cory Rasmus. Freese will start in Tuesday's contest. 

Moreover, the team called up Jett Bandy, Michael Morin, Nick Tropeano and Wesley Wright. The team also designated Alfredo Marte and Drew Rucinski for assignment.

After missing five games with a hamstring injury, Astros rookie shortstop Carlos Correa returned with a bang. The young phenom went 2 for 4 with a two-run home run, as the Astros defeated the Mariners 8-3 on Monday.

Correa's home run gives him 16 on the year. According to Elias, Correa's 16 dingers are the second-most ever by a shortstop before his 21st birthday--Alex Rodriguez had 26.
