Hoerner went 4-for-5 with a run scored in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Rockies. He also stole one base in two attempts.

All four of Hoerner's hits were singles, and despite reaching four times, he only came around to score once. He did, however, record his 40th stolen base of the year in 47 attempts. The steals have been the infielder's biggest source of fantasy value, and he's now doubled his total from 2022. Hoerner should keep running frequently as the Cubs try to chase down a playoff spot in the final weeks of the season.

Bednar picked up the save Wednesday against the Nationals. He allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out one over an inning.

It certainly wasn't Bednar's cleanest outing -- he was charged with a run after allowing the first three batters to reach safely in the ninth, though he'd ultimately strike out CJ Abrams before coaxing a flyout from Lane Thomas to strand the bases loaded and seal a 7-6 victory. Bednar's now allowed just two earned runs in his last 10 outings (10 innings) while converting 11 straight save opportunities. He's up to 34 saves on the year, tied for fourth most in the majors, with a 1.92 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 69:18 K:BB through 61 innings this season.

Reynolds went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 7-6 win over the Nationals.

After his 12-game hitting streak ended Tuesday, Reynolds rebounded with a three-hit effort Wednesday, highlighted by a two-run homer off Jackson Rutledge in the fourth inning. Since the start of September, Reynolds is batting .340 (16-for-47) with two homers in 12 games. He's boosted his slash line to .272/.332/.473 with 21 homers, 77 runs scored, 74 RBI and 12 steals through 573 plate appearances this season.

Baty was removed from Wednesday's game against Arizona due to left groin soreness, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Baty was taken out of the game by a trainer ahead of the seventh inning and will have imaging done Thursday in order to diagnose his injury. Until the results of his MRI come back, Baty should be considered day-to-day.

Rutledge (0-1) took the loss Wednesday, allowing seven runs on 10 hits and a walk over 3.2 innings against Pittsburgh. He struck out two.

It was a rocky start to Rutledge's MLB career -- the Pirates put up a four spot on the right-hander in the first inning, as he ultimately allowed seven runs without making it through the fourth inning. The 24-year-old right-hander had a solid year in the minors, pitching to a 3.71 ERA while striking out 106 across 119 innings between Double-A and Triple-A. He'll be looking for better results in his second big-league outing, tentatively scheduled for next week against the White Sox.

Chisholm was pulled from Wednesday's game against Milwaukee due to right knee discomfort, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Chisholm appeared to suffer a leg injury after grounding into a double play during the fourth inning, and the Marlins have now confirmed Chisholm's injury to be knee-related. There's still been no update on how severe Chisholm's injury is, but more information should come ahead of Thursday's series finale.

Antone left Wednesday's game against the Tigers due to right elbow discomfort, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

After recently making his way back from the second Tommy John surgery of his career, Antone is reportedly once again having troubles with his elbow. The Reds will likely run some tests to determine if there is any structural damage in Antone's elbow, but given Antone's injury history, a trip to the injured list seems likely.

Antone was removed from Wednesday's game against Detroit with an apparent injury, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The Reds haven't specified what kind of injury Antone is currently dealing with, but more information should be available shortly. Antone recently returned from the injured list after working his way back from his second Tommy John surgery.

Chisholm was removed from Wednesday's game against the Brewers with an apparent leg injury, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Chisholm seemingly injured his leg after grounding into a double play to end the fourth inning. He will surely head back into the clubhouse for imaging, and the Marlins should provide an update on his status shortly. Until then, Chisholm should be considered day-to-day.

The Dodgers optioned Hurt to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

Hurt had an impressive showing during his MLB debut Tuesday, sitting down Fernando Tatis, Juan Soto and Manny Machado during the first of his two innings of work. However, the return of Joe Kelly (forearm) will send Hurt back to Triple-A. Hurt might still have a chance to return before the end of the season if the Dodgers need a fresh bullpen arm.
