Carrigg went 2-for-6 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 13-1 victory over the Nationals.

Carrigg hit his first home run since July 26 in the fifth inning to extend the Rockies' lead to three runs. This was Carrigg's fifth multi-hit game in August, though he has been slumping at the plate recently, having gone 3-for-28 in his last seven games prior to Wednesday. The rookie is batting .269 with an .808 OPS, with six homers, 17 doubles, three triples, and 36 RBI in 64 games this season.

Rodriguez went 3-for-6 with two solo home runs in Wednesday's 10-9 win over the Giants.

Getting the start in right field and batting leadoff against Logan Webb, Rodriguez took the San Francisco ace deep in the third inning before leading off the ninth with another solo shot off Spencer Bivens that sparked a stunning seven-run rally for the Reds. It was the first time in Rodriguez's brief MLB career that he hit atop the order, and through his first 16 games for Cincy, the 22-year-old is batting .220 (11-for-50) with two doubles, three homers, five RBI and six runs.

Fermin will start at second base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Fermin will stick in the lineup for a fifth straight game after going 3-for-16 with a home run, a double and three RBI over the prior four contests. Three of those starts have come at second base, where Fermin could serve as the Cardinals' primary option while JJ Wetherholt is needed at shortstop as a replacement for Masyn Winn (thumb), who was moved to the injured list Tuesday.

Antonacci is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

Antonacci will hit the bench along with fellow left-handed hitter Colson Montgomery while southpaw MacKenzie Gore takes the hill for Texas. Tristan Peters will receive the starting nod in left field while Antonacci rests.

Lawlar went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Cubs.

The 24-year-old broke a scoreless tie in the sixth inning when he drove a Matthew Boyd changeup the other way for his third long ball of the season. Lawlar left Tuesday's contest early after being hit in the head by a pitch, but he cleared the concussion protocol and seems none the worse for wear. In eight games since recovering from a hamstring strain and coming off the IL on Aug. 17, Lawlar has gone 6-for-24 (.250) with two homers, four runs and four RBI, but a 0:9 BB:K.

Chourio is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Chourio appears to be receiving a routine day off after he had started in each of Milwaukee's last 38 games. Sal Frelick will pick up a start in left field in place of Chourio, who is batting .287 with four home runs, three steals, 12 runs and eight RBI through Milwaukee's first 23 contests of August.

The Orioles placed O'Neill on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, retroactive to Sunday, due to right shoulder inflammation.

As expected, O'Neill will be shelved for an extended period of time due to a right shoulder injury that he sustained while making a diving catch against the Rays on Saturday. Pete Alonso could see additional reps as the designated hitter for as long as O'Neill is sidelined. A minimum stint on the IL would have O'Neill back with the big club Sept. 2, though a clearer return timeline will be established once he recovers enough to participate in baseball activities.

Straw is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Straw had started in each of the previous five games, but he'll likely have to settle for a reserve role against most right-handed pitchers while George Springer, Jesus Sanchez, Brett Bateman and Nathan Lukes are available to fill out the outfield and designated-hitter spots. The 31-year-old Straw has provided value with his speed and defense but is slashing just .217/.272/.332 over 260 plate appearances on the season.

Collins is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Collins will hit the bench and will be replaced in left field by John Rave, who will be rewarded with another start after reaching base six times and stealing two bases over the previous two games while filling in for Jac Caglianone in right field. If Rave continues his hot-hitting ways, he could eventually cut further into the playing time of Collins, who has produced a .603 OPS since the All-Star break.

Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

Wade will take a seat after he started in left field in each of the Astros' last three games and went 1-for-10 with a double and a run scored. He'll give up his spot in the lineup to Taylor Trammell, who will man left and bat seventh.
