Heim is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest in Oakland.

Heim reached base three times and homered in the first two games of the series, but he'll get a breather for the finale. Carson Kelly will do the catching and bat eighth for the Rangers.

Henderson went 3-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 9-7 win over the Yankees.

Henderson was one of six Orioles to log multiple hits in a 17-hit barrage. This was his fourth multi-hit effort during his seven-game streak, during which he's batting .387 (12-for-31). The shortstop's late surge has lifted his season numbers to a .285/.369/.536 slash line, 37 home runs, 91 RBI, 118 runs scored and 21 stolen bases on 25 attempts.

Cowser went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, three RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Wednesday's 9-7 win over the Yankees.

Cowser's steal was his first since Aug. 19 and his ninth of the season. The outfielder has put together a decent September, batting .257 (18-for-70) with seven extra-base hits, eight RBI and 12 runs scored. He's at a .246/.326/.450 slash line with 23 home runs, 68 RBI, 76 runs, 24 doubles and three triples over 150 contests this season as a regular in the lineup between left field and center field.

Webb (2-5) allowed two hits and struck out one over 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the win over the Yankees on Wednesday.

A rare inefficient start from Zach Eflin saw Webb take over to get the final out of the fifth inning with the Orioles leading 8-3. They held on the rest of the way, giving Webb his first victory since June 1. He's been a little shaky with two runs allowed over 4.2 innings since he returned from a six-week absence due to an elbow injury. Webb is now at a 3.15 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 55:27 K:BB while adding two saves, 13 holds and a blown save over a career-high 54.1 innings this season.

Lynch (2-0) allowed two hits and a walk while striking out two over 2.2 scoreless innings to earn the win over the Nationals on Wednesday.

Michael Lorenzen (lower body) was pulled in the third inning, allowing Lynch to snag a win in a long-relief assignment. After struggling in a starting role in the first half, Lynch has thrived out of the bullpen. He has not allowed a run over 18.2 innings while giving up just seven hits with a 21:4 K:BB since he was recalled to the majors in late August. In that span, he's also earned both of his wins and a save.

Gaddis (6-3) allowed a run on three hits over one inning to earn the win over the Reds on Wednesday.

Gaddis allowed the tying run in the top of the eighth inning, but the Guardians responded with a three-run home run by Jose Ramirez. Gaddis was charged with a blown save, his first since April 30 and his fifth of the year, but he was also able to pick up his second win in a week. The right-hander has been an excellent setup man in his first full major-league campaign, posting a 1.59 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 65:14 K:BB across 73.2 innings while adding 34 holds.

Turner went 1-for-5 with a two-run single in a win over the Astros on Wednesday, extending his on-base streak to 20 games.

Turner has also reached safely in 24 straight starts, and he owns a .302/.396/.500 slash line with a 14.2 percent walk rate and 17.0 percent strikeout rate over that span. Those numbers are reminiscent of vintage Turner from the pinnacle of his career with the Dodgers, and his contributions have played an integral part in keeping the Mariners in contention for an AL wild-card spot.

Garver went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Astros on Wednesday.

Garver launched his 14th homer of the season in the seventh inning, extending the Mariners' lead to 3-1 at the time. The single and round tripper he generated snapped an 0-for-14 skid that had encompassed his previous four games and served as his third multi-hit effort of September. Despite Wednesday's success, Garver is limping to the finish line of the 2024 regular season with a .171/.286/.333 slash line across 426 plate appearances.

Pasquantino (thumb) took batting practice on the field Thursday, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

Pasquantino is just over three weeks removed from surgery to repair a fractured right thumb, a procedure which carried a projected 6-to-8 week timetable. That he's already taking what looked to be full swings in batting practice seems to suggest he has a shot to beat that timeline, although the Royals would need to qualify for the postseason and probably advance at least one round in order for Pasquantino to become a realistic option.

Kavadas is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the White Sox.

For the second straight day and third time in four games, Kavadas is not in the lineup versus a right-hander. Angels manager Ron Washington has leaned more towards having both of his catchers in the lineup lately, with one of them behind the plate and the other serving as the designated hitter. In Thursday's series finale, it will be Logan O'Hoppe catching and Matt Thaiss at DH.
