The Cardinals activated Wetherholt (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Wetherholt was scheduled to go through a full pregame workout Tuesday, and he came out of it with no concerns, clearing the way for his return. He's starting at second base and batting leadoff Wednesday versus the Giants. The rookie infielder has been sidelined since late August with right wrist tendinitis. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that Wetherholt will play just six innings Wednesday as he eases back into a full-time role, John Denton of Roundtable.io reports.

Lowe went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Brewers.

The second baseman supplied the only offense for the Pirates when he bashed a DL Hall fastball off the right-field foul pole in the eighth inning. It was Lowe's 30th homer of the season, marking the third time in his career he's reached that plateau, and he's been locked in to close out the campaign. Over his last 14 games, Lowe has delivered a .346/.424/.558 slash line with two doubles, three home runs, six RBI and 10 runs.

Freeland went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Reds.

The 25-year-old has been the Dodgers' primary second baseman against right-handed pitching in September, and Tuesday's long ball off Pierce Johnson was his first in the majors since May 31. Since rejoining the Dodgers when rosters expanded at the beginning of the month, Freeland has produced a .258/.378/.419 slash line in 37 plate appearances with one homer, two doubles, two steals, two RBI and six runs.

McLain started at second base and went 0-for-3 in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Dodgers.

McLain was back in the lineup after missing three games due to a left shoulder injury. The Reds downplayed the severity of the issue and welcomed back their primary second baseman Tuesday. McLain, who will attempt to finish a trying season on a positive note, is batting just .129 (4-for-31) this month and .186 for the season.

Marte went 2-for-6 with two doubles and an RBI in Tuesday's 4-2 extra-innings loss to the Marlins.

Marte drove home the designated runner in the bottom of the 11th inning after Miami scored three times in the top of the frame. It was a frustrating night for the Diamondbacks, who went 1-for-13 with runners in scoring position and missed an opportunity to gain ground in the playoff chase. Marte's hit safely in 12 of 13 games since returning from the injured list, going 14-for-54 with six doubles, one home run, seven RBI and six runs scored.

Arraez went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a walk and an RBI in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Nationals.

The light-hitting infielder tallied a rare showing of multiple extra-base hits, his first such effort since June 30 in Arizona as a member of the Giants. Arraez is targeting his fourth career batting title in 2026, jockeying primarily with Nick Gonzales, Otto Lopez and Gabriel Moreno in the race for the National League crown at this stage of the season. He's hitting an MLB-best .315 in 143 games on the year, and Arraez is batting .291 with two homers, nine doubles, 17 RBI and 14 runs scored over 148 at-bats since being dealt to the Phillies.

Sogard went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a strikeout during Tuesday's 4-2 loss to Texas.

Sogard swatted his fifth homer of the season in the third inning off Jacob deGrom to cut the lead in half. The 29-year-old has reached base safely in eight of his last 10 games. This year, the switch-hitter is batting .264/.360/.416 with five homers and 19 RBI in 233 plate appearances.

Bazzana went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs during the Guardians' 7-6 win over the White Sox on Tuesday.

Bazzana helped put the Guardians up 3-0 early in the first inning with a solo homer to right-center field before going deep again in the sixth to reduce the deficit to one run. It's the second multi-homer game of the season for Bazzana, with five of his 13 homers coming over his last 10 games. In that 10-game span, he has gone 15-for-34 (.441) with one steal, 14 RBI, eight extra-base hits and 10 runs scored.

Lee went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 10-1 win over the Blue Jays.

Lee added an insurance run in the ninth inning of the blowout by launching his ninth home run of the season. Outside of a three-hit performance Saturday, the rookie infielder came into Tuesday's contest batting just .091 this month before tallying his two hits. Despite the rough patch, Lee is still having a strong debut campaign with a .255 batting average and .723 OPS overall, and he's firmly in Detroit's plans moving forward.

Edwards isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Edwards has gone 3-for-8 with an RBI and a run scored in two games since returning from the injured list, and the Marlins will now give him a chance to rest Tuesday while Javier Sanoja starts at the keystone and Graham Pauley mans third base.
