Ward went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 3-2 win against the Royals on Wednesday.

Ward gave the Angels a 2-0 lead with his 420-foot solo shot to left-center field in the third inning. The long ball was his second in as many games and his sixth (all of which have been solo shots) over his past 10 contests. Ward has posted a career-high 36 home runs and 103 RBI over 655 plate appearances on the campaign.

Grisham went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run and two walks in an 8-1 win over the White Sox on Wednesday.

Grisham added to New York's lead with a two-run blast to center field in the eighth inning. The veteran outfielder has racked up 34 home runs on the campaign -- twice as many as his previous career-high mark, which he established in 2022 with San Diego. Grisham has also set career highs in RBI (74) and runs scored (84), and his .819 OPS is on pace to be his best as a pro as well.

Lowe is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Baltimore.

The left-handed-hitting Lowe has seen more opportunities against lefty hurlers this season, but he'll get a day off Thursday as the Orioles send southpaw Cade Povich to the bump. Jake Mangum is handling right field for the Rays.

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

The Rays are using a right-handed-heavy lineup against Orioles southpaw Cade Povich, so the left-handed-swinging Simpson will grab a seat. Christopher Morel will handle left field and bat cleanup.

The Twins recalled Keirsey from Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday.

Keirsey has slashed a lowly .108/.140/.181 across 86 plate appearances with the big club this season. He'll provide outfield depth in the final days of the season.

Soderstrom went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and two total RBI in Wednesday's 6-0 win against Houston.

Soderstrom and Shea Langeliers each had a double and a homer in the contest as they combined for all four of the Athletics' extra-base hits. Soderstrom's home run was a 395-foot solo shot in the seventh inning that capped the scoring in the contest. The 23-year-old has enjoyed a breakout campaign, slashing .280/.349/.480 with 25 home runs, 74 runs, 93 RBI and eight stolen bases through 154 games.

Judge went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a walk and four RBI in Wednesday's 8-1 victory over the White Sox.

Judge put the Yankees on the board with a three-run blast in the second inning -- his 50th homer of the season -- before adding another long ball in the eighth to cap off his night and record his seventh multi-homer game of the season. The 33-year-old has now reached base safely in 13 straight games, batting .439 with 17 walks in that stretch, and he continues to make history, becoming just the fourth player ever to record four seasons with at least 50 home runs. Judge still leads MLB with a .328 batting average and sports a monstrous 1.136 OPS to go with 109 RBI, 133 runs, 29 doubles and 12 stolen bases across 662 plate appearances. The superstar remains locked in a two-man MVP race with Cal Raleigh as Judge chases his third MVP award in the last four seasons.

Buxton went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to Texas.

Buxton clobbered his 32nd homer of the season and his third of the month. While 2025 will go down as a lost year for the Twins, it was anything but a failure for Buxton, who has just about paid off for fantasy managers who took a late-round gamble on the oft-injured outfielder in drafts this past spring. Buxton is up to 123 games played, his most since 2017, and he's collected a career-high in long balls, RBI (78), walks (41) and runs scored (94).

Garcia is not in the Rangers' starting lineup against the Twins on Wednesday.

Garcia returned to the lineup Tuesday after missing the prior two games due to a lingering quad issue. He'll be available off the bench for Wednesday's tilt while Billy McKinney -- whose contract was selected by the Rangers from Triple-A Round Rock -- starts in right field and bats seventh.

The Rangers transferred Haggerty (ankle) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

Haggerty landed on the 10-day injured list in mid-August due to left ankle inflammation. He was cleared to embark on a rehab assignment in early September but was shut down after experiencing a setback, and his transfer to the 60-day IL means his 2025 campaign is done. Haggerty will end the season with a .253/.328/.370 slash line with 12 steals, 31 runs, two home runs and 13 RBI over 181 plate appearances. The move corresponds with Wyatt Langford (oblique) being placed on the 10-day IL and the Rangers selecting Billy McKinney's contract from Triple-A Round Rock.
