Taylor went 0-for-3 with a walk, two stolen bases and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Dodgers.

Taylor manufactured a run on his own in the ninth inning after drawing a walk, with the two steals preceding Freddy Fermin's RBI single to pad the Padres' lead. Over his last 12 games, Taylor has gone 15-for-36 (.417) with five steals and four extra-base hits. The outfielder is now batting .333 with an .843 OPS, 12 steals, two home runs, 18 RBI, 26 runs scored, four doubles and two triples over 44 contests this season.

Tatis went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Dodgers.

Tatis had gone eight games without a multi-hit effort before his breakout effort Wednesday. The outfielder has six extra-base hits and six RBI over his last nine contests. He's batting .287 with an .825 OPS, 25 home runs, 81 RBI, 95 runs scored, 31 doubles, three triples and 36 stolen bases over a career-high 156 games this season.

Davidson was removed from Wednesday's game against the Twins with a foot injury, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Davidson remained in the game for a while after fouling a ball off his foot in the sixth inning, but he was eventually replaced in the outfield when the Giants' defense took the field in the ninth. X-rays on his foot came back negative shortly after the game, per Pavlovic, but Scott Bandura and Grant McCray could be candidates to start in right field if Davidson is unable to play in Friday's series opener against the Dodgers.

Lawlar is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Colorado.

Lawlar looks to be slipping into a secondary role, as this will be the fourth time he's been out of the lineup over the Diamondbacks' last five games against right-handers. Tim Tawa will patrol center field for Arizona.

Lara is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Philadelphia.

Lara started in right field in the first game of the series Tuesday, but he'll take a seat Wednesday for the second time in the last three contests. Sal Frelick will patrol right field and bat eighth for the Brewers.

Acuna (leg) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

Acuna was removed from Tuesday's contest after fouling a ball off his left leg. X-rays were negative and Acuna informed the club that he was fine to play Wednesday, per Mark Bowman of MLB.com. However, with the National League East already wrapped up, Atlanta will rest its star outfielder for a day just to be safe. Brewer Hicklen will cover right field Wednesday in Acuna's stead.

Cruz is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Cardinals.

The lefty-swinging Cruz will retreat to the bench as the Cardinals send left-hander Matthew Liberatore to the bump. Jake Mangum will patrol center field and will bat ninth for the Pirates.

Cox went 0-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Twins.

Cox drew a walk in the first inning before recording his team-leading 15th stolen base of the season, and he also logged an RBI on a fielder's choice in the ninth. The 25-year-old has racked up seven stolen bases in September while batting .260 with 13 runs scored and seven RBI in 83 plate appearances. Overall, he's slashing .272/.317/.412 with 25 runs scored, 16 RBI and four long balls across 152 plate appearances this season.

Lile is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Detroit.

The left-handed-hitting Lile will get a break as the Tigers send southpaw Framber Valdez to the bump. Dylan Crews, Jacob Young and James Wood will be in the outfield, and Andres Chaparro will be the designated hitter for the Nationals.

Moniak went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

Moniak led off the third inning with his 23rd home run of the season, a small positive in what has otherwise been a slow September. He has hit only .170 across 53 at-bats for the month while striking out 38.2 percent of the time, and a slow second half has dropped his overall batting average to .242 on the season. Nevertheless, Moniak is one long ball away from matching his career high.
