Geraldo Perdomo SS | ARI
Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Keeps rolling
Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Milwaukee.
Perdomo's leadoff home run in the eighth inning gave the Diamondbacks a needed insurance run. It was his 15th homer and continued a torrid month of August, during which the shortstop is slashing .366/.478/.591 with four home runs, 12 RBI, 19 walks, eight steals and 27 runs over 25 contests.

Corey Seager SS | TEX
Rangers' Corey Seager: Another multi-hit performance
Seager went 2-for-2 with a two-run home run and two additional runs scored during Wednesday's 20-3 win over the Angels.
Seager saw only three plate appearances before being lifted in favor of Ezequiel Duran to get some rest during the blowout. Still, the shortstop made his presence felt, delivering a two-run homer and posting his second three-run game of the campaign. Seager has five multi-hit performances in his last 11 games, going 16-for-40 (.400) with four home runs, 11 runs scored and a 5:7 BB:K during that stretch.

Ryan Ritter SS | COL
Rockies' Ryan Ritter: Receiving rest Wednesday
Ritter is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.
Though Ritter saw his 10-game hitting streak come to an end in Tuesday's 6-1 win, he remained productive from the bottom of the lineup by reaching base twice and coming around to score on both occasions. Orlando Arcia will fill in for Ritter at the keystone in Wednesday's contest.

Javier Baez SS | DET
Tigers' Javier Baez: Sitting down Wednesday
Baez isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
Baez will take a seat Wednesday after going 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in Tuesday's loss. While he rests, Riley Greene, Wenceel Perez and Kerry Carpenter will start across the outfield for Detroit.

Jacob Wilson SS | ATH
Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Resting up Wednesday
Wilson isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Detroit.
Wilson has gone 6-for-20 with a pair of homers, eight RBI and four runs scored in five games since his return from the injured list. The A's will give him a chance to rest Wednesday while Darell Hernaiz moves to shortstop, giving Zack Gelof a start at the keystone.

Colson Montgomery SS | CHW
White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Still nursing side soreness
White Sox general manager Chris Getz said that Montgomery is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Royals due to continued soreness in his left side, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Montgomery missed one game last week with the same injury. He returned to action last Wednesday and has gone 6-for-20 with four home runs and one double in his five starts since then, but Montgomery apparently still hasn't totally moved past the injury. Getz noted that imaging on Montgomery's side came back negative, so consider the rookie infielder day-to-day heading into Thursday's series opener versus the Yankees.

Jared Triolo 3B | PIT
Pirates' Jared Triolo: Settling into leadoff spot
Triolo will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
Triolo will occupy the leadoff spot for a second straight matchup versus a right-handed pitcher, and he's also hit leadoff each of the last two times the Pirates have gone up against a lefty. The infielder has earned a move up in the batting order by tallying five straight multi-hit games and slashing .338/.420/.506 in August.

Colson Montgomery SS | CHW
White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Not in Wednesday's lineup
Montgomery is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Royals.
Montgomery extended his streak of games with a home run to four during Tuesday's 5-4 loss, but the left-handed hitter is out of the lineup a day later, even with the Royals sending righty Ryan Bergert to the bump. The rookie infielder missed a game last week due to side soreness, so it's possible he could be less than 100 percent. Chase Meidroth will play shortstop and Lenyn Sosa will be at second base for the White Sox in the series finale.

Ha-seong Kim SS | ATL
Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: Progressing well
Kim (back) fielded grounders Wednesday, and Rays manager Kevin Cash said the team is "happy with the progression" the infielder has made, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
Kim has been receiving treatment for lower-back inflammation and appears to be trending in the right direction. He's eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list Saturday, and the infielder may be ready to return by then. Carson Williams is off to a hot start while filling in for Kim at shortstop, but he could be pushed aside soon if the Rays elect to reinstall Kim as their primary option at the position.

Tanner Schobel SS | MIN
Twins' Tanner Schobel: Returns to Triple-A lineup
Schobel (forearm) started at third base and went 1-for-4 on Tuesday in Triple-A St. Paul's 5-4 win over Toledo after being reinstated from the 60-day injured list Monday.
Schobel had been on the shelf since June 15 due to a right forearm fracture before being cleared to rejoin the Triple-A club this week after completing a three-game rehab assignment with Single-A Fort Myers. Over 12 games with St. Paul on the season, Schobel is hitting .231/.348/.410 with one home run.
