Lombard went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Wednesday's 6-1 win over Colorado.

Lombard blasted his first career grand slam Wednesday as well as the first of the season for New York. The 21-year-old shortstop also became the youngest Yankee with a grand slam since Mickey Mantle way back in 1952, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. Through 96 major-league at-bats, Lombard is hitting .240 with three homers, 11 RBI, one stolen base and 14 runs scored.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during the Guardians' 9-5 loss to the Orioles on Wednesday.

Lowe reduced the Guardians' deficit to four runs with a two-run long ball off Shane Baz in the sixth inning, the second home run that the Guardians hit Wednesday. Lowe has gone deep in two of his last three outings and is up to 17 home runs on the year, and he's one home run shy from matching his regular-season total in 2025. Since being acquired by the Guardians from the Reds in early August, Lowe has a .699 OPS with five home runs and 21 RBI over 117 plate appearances.

DeLauter went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run during the Guardians' 9-5 loss to the Orioles on Wednesday.

DeLauter was cleared to return to the lineup Wednesday after missing the four previous games due to a right wrist sprain. The rest paid off for the 24-year-old outfielder, who put the Guardians up early with a two-run homer off Shane Baz in the first inning. It was DeLauter's 14th home run of the season, and he has four multi-hit games over his last seven outings, going 12-for-27 with one steal, three RBI and seven extra-base hits in that span.

Warren (10-6) earned the win against Colorado on Wednesday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out eight.

Granted a favorable home matchup against the lowly Rockies, Warren capitalized on the opportunity with an excellent start and his most strikeouts since June 20 versus the Reds. The right-hander has been very effective for both the Yankees and fantasy managers alike lately, giving up two earned runs or fewer in five consecutive outings. He'll carry a season 4.05 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 141:49 K:BB over 142.1 innings into his next scheduled appearance in Minnesota.

Griffin (15-5) took the loss against the Orioles on Wednesday, allowing eight runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four across 2.1 innings.

Griffin looked like he was in control of Wednesday's start after ending the second frame with back-to-back strikeouts. However, things fell apart for him in the third, when he allowed nine of the 10 batters he faced to reach, resulting in an eight-run frame that his Guardians teammates couldn't make up for offensively. It was the first time this season that the left-hander failed to complete at least three frames in a start, and the eight runs allowed were his second most of the season. He sits at a 3.65 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 162.2 innings this season, and Griffin will look to bounce back in his next start, which is lined up for next week at home against the White Sox.

Beavers went 2-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a run scored during Wednesday's 9-5 win over Cleveland.

The three runs Beavers drove in came on two separate hits in the third frame in what was an eight-run inning for the Orioles. It was his first multi-RBI game since Aug. 25 against the Cardinals and matched a season high that he set Aug. 12 versus the Twins. Beavers has a .700 OPS with five steals, six home runs and 36 RBI over 304 plate appearances this season.

Mayo went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Wednesday's 9-5 win over Cleveland.

Mayo gave the Orioles a four-run cushion in the sixth with a solo homer, the third deep ball that he's hit in as many games. He's reached base safely in 13 of his last 14 contests, and over that span he has gone 14-for-47 (.298) with one steal, five home runs, 12 RBI and 12 runs scored.

Garcia earned the save in Wednesday's 9-5 win over the Guardians, allowing two hits while striking out three batters across 1.2 scoreless frames. He did not issue a walk.

The Guardians had runners on second and third with one out in the eighth, prompting the Orioles to turn to Garcia to protect the team's four-run lead. He was able to get out of the inning without yielding a run, ending the frame by striking out Patrick Bailey in three pitches. Garcia came back out for the ninth and allowed two straight singles, but he bounced back by striking out the last two batters he faced to secure the win for Baltimore. His three punchouts matched a season high he set March 30 against the Rangers, and Garcia has converted seven of 13 save chances this year, boasting a 3.03 ERA and 0.96 WHIP over 62.1 innings.

Baz (6-15) was credited with the win against the Guardians on Wednesday, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk while striking out five across 5.2 innings.

Baz was looking to build off his last outing against the Red Sox on Friday, when he allowed just one run across 6.1 frames while taking the loss. He didn't have his best stuff Wednesday, putting the Orioles in an early deficit by yielding a two-run homer to Chase DeLauter in the first inning. However, his Orioles teammates had his back by scoring eight runs in the third inning, which was enough for Baz to come away with the win despite giving up another three runs in the sixth. The five runs he allowed tied a season high he set four times prior to Wednesday's contest, and he sits at a 4.05 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 150:58 K:BB over 169 innings. Baz is lined up to face the Mets on the road next week.

Foscue started at second base and went 1-for-3 with a walk in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Seattle.

The Rangers faced Mariners left-hander Kade Anderson, which meant Foscue picked up a start. It was the fifth southpaw faced in the club's last eight games, and Foscue has done well with his recent surge in plate appearances. His single Wednesday extended a hit streak to seven contests, during which he's gone 8-for-20 with two doubles, one home run and seven RBI. Foscue is batting .271 with an .838 OPS across a career-high 218 plate appearances.
