Keith went 2-for-2 with a walk and two runs scored in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Mets.

Keith batted leadoff against New York righty Clay Holmes and continued to excel in those matchups, as he's now batting .271 with a .796 OPS against righties this season. The 23-year-old was mired in a bit of a slump before Wednesday, having gone just 2-for-23 in his previous six games, but his spot at the top of Detroit's lineup most days gives him plenty of fantasy upside moving forward.

Cano earned the save in Wednesday's 7-5 win over San Diego, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

Cano was sharp Wednesday, striking out a pair to lock down his second save this season, his first since July 5. The 31-year-old Cano has pitched better of late, allowing just one run in his last six appearances (5.2 innings) to reclaim a high-leverage role in Baltimore's bullpen. Overall, his ERA sits at 5.07 with a 1.45 WHIP and 47:22 K:BB across 49.2 innings this season.

Povich (3-7) earned the win Wednesday over the Padres, allowing four runs on seven hits and three walks across five innings. He struck out three.

Povich cruised through five innings, holding San Diego scoreless while allowing just four hits. It was a different story in the sixth, however, as Povich allowed the first four Padres to reach safely and was ultimately charged with four runs without recording an out. Still, the Padres were able to hang on for a 7-5 victory, giving the left-hander his first win since June 15. Overall, the 25-year-old Povich sports a 5.16 ERA with a 1.46 WHIP and 103:35 K:BB across 96 innings this year. He's currently lined up to face the Pirates at home his next time out.

The Astros transferred Rooney (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Elbow inflammation sent Rooney to the injured list last week, and moving to the 60-day IL will officially put an end to his regular season. The 28-year-old turned in a 2.56 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 38.2 innings in Triple-A and gave up one run in 1.1 frames during his MLB debut. Jayden Murray was selected to the active roster in a corresponding move.

The Astros placed Arrighetti on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with right elbow inflammation, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Arrighetti gave up just one run in 6.1 innings while punching out a season-high eight batters during his last start Saturday, but he reported pain in his elbow after a bullpen session Wednesday, per Rome. The Astros could revert to a five-man rotation until the 25-year-old righty returns; meanwhile, Jayden Murray will come up from Triple-A Sugar Land to provide Houston with extra bullpen depth.

Urias will start at second base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

Urias will pick up his fourth straight start at the keystone after going 3-for-10 with a home run, a double, a walk and two RBI over the previous three contests. With Jose Altuve seeing most of his playing time of late at designated hitter or in left field, Urias looks like he could be a stable part of the lineup at second base while he's swinging a hot bat. Urias could eventually face competition for reps at second from Mauricio Dubon, who has been playing more in center field of late but may become more of a factor in the infield once Jake Meyers (calf) returns from the injured list.

Dubon is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

Dubon will hit the bench for the second time in four games and could be transitioning back into more of a part-time role after he had been a near-everyday player for Houston since about mid-May. The last two of his starts have come in center field, but Jake Meyers (calf) will likely see the bulk of the opportunities at that position once he returns from the injured list, perhaps as soon as this weekend.

Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Goldschmidt will remain on the bench for the Yankees' third consecutive matchup with a right-handed pitcher while manager Aaron Boone goes with Ben Rice at first base. Rice should continue to draw the bulk of the starts at the position against righties, as Goldschmidt has produced a lowly .267 wOBA in those matchups for the season.

Soderstrom is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

The Cardinals are sending left-hander Matthew Liberatore to the hill for the series finale, so Athletics manager Mark Kotsay likely decided that Wednesday was an optimal time to give the left-handed-hitting Soderstrom his first day off since Aug. 15. While starting in each of the Athletics' last 16 games, Soderstrom slashed .323/.400/.452 with one home run, one stolen base, nine RBI and seven runs.

Outman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Outman will head to the bench after he went 2-for-13 with two walks, one stolen base, two runs and one RBI while starting in each of the past four games. Austin Martin will cover left field and bat ninth Wednesday.
