Baldwin went 4-for-8 with a double and a run scored across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets.

He got the start at DH in the matinee before handling catching duties in the nightcap, rattling off two hits in each contest. Baldwin extended his hitting streak to eight games in the process, a stretch in which he's batting .387 (12-for-31) with a double, two homers, five runs and five RBI.

Olson went 2-for-8 with a home run and three RBI across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets.

The star first baseman generated all of Atlanta's offense on the day, launching a two-run shot off Sean Manaea in a 3-2 win for New York during the matinee before driving in the only run of the nightcap on a sixth-inning single. Olson is up to 28 homers on the season, including three in 13 games since the All-Star break -- a stretch in which he's produced a .240/.356/.460 slash line with two doubles, eight RBI and nine runs.

Winn is slated to serve as the Rangers' opening pitcher in Thursday's game against the Rays.

The Rangers are treating the series finale in Tampa as a bullpen day, with Winn likely to work the first inning or two before exiting the contest. Marco Gonzales hasn't pitched since making a three-inning appearance July 21 in his Rangers debut and could be tasked with covering multiple frames behind Winn.

Montgomery (elbow) is scheduled to make another rehab start Sunday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Montgomery is sufficiently stretched out after getting his pitch count up to 75 in his last rehab outing, but the Rangers will have the lefty make one more rehab start to iron out the kinks. Working his way back from March 2025 UCL surgery, Montgomery has turned in a 4.74 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 16:2 K:BB in 19 innings across seven rehab starts thus far.

Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young said Thursday that Seager (back) is on track to be activated from the 10-day injured list before Friday's game in Houston, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Seager has played two rehab games with Double-A Frisco this week, and as long as he bounces back physically with no concerns, he'll be reinstated to the active roster this weekend. The veteran shortstop has been sidelined since early July with lower-back inflammation.

Palacios is out of the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Rangers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Lefty Marco Gonzales is expected to work in bulk relief for the Rangers, so the lefty-swinging Palacios will take a seat. Ben Williamson will cover second base for the Rays.

Simpson is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Rangers.

It looks to be a routine day off after Simpson started each of the previous 11 contests. Jonny DeLuca, Cedric Mullins and Victor Mesa will patrol the outfield for the Rangers in Thursday's rubber match.

Milner (abdomen) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, tossing a scoreless inning.

Milner has been sidelined a little more than a month following an emergency appendectomy. It's unclear whether the Cubs have additional rehab appearances planned for the lefty, but his reinstatement from the 15-day injured list should come soon.

The Tigers are expected to call up Clark from Triple-A Toledo prior to Friday's game against the Athletics, Emily Waldon of Baseball America reports.

Clark has earned his first big-league promotion after slashing .276/.368/.434 with 11 home runs, 21 stolen bases and a 50:66 BB:K over 90 games with Toledo, which includes a 1.086 OPS in July. The No. 3 overall pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft, Clark should take over as the everyday center fielder in Detroit, pushing Javier Baez into a utility role.

Sogard started at second base and went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Wednesday's 4-2 extra-inning win over the Athletics.

After the A's went up, 2-1, in the bottom of the fifth inning, Sogard's run-scoring single a half-inning later tied the game. He was recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday to replace Curtis Mead (wrist), who was placed on the injured list. Sogard, who bats from both sides of the plate and has experience at all four infield spots, will be part of a rotation at the keystone along with Romy Gonzalez and Anthony Seigler.
