Wade went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Royals.

He took advantage of a rare start Thursday, with Christian Walker getting the day off. Wade extended the Astros' lead to 3-1 in the fifth inning with a 365-foot shot off Seth Lugo, his fourth homer this season and first since Aug. 30. Wade had gone just 2-for-14 in nine games coming into the contest. Overall, he's slashing .212/.316/.364 with 19 RBI 16 runs scored over 136 plate appearances this season.

Clarke went 1-for-2 with two steals and a walk in Thursday's 10-1 loss to the Rays.

Clarke was active on the bases early, swiping second and third base after depositing a single in the third inning. The center fielder has appeared in 10 games since returning from a left hamstring strain, going just 2-for-14 (.143) with no extra-base hits or RBI. Clarke boasts significant speed and strong defensive acumen, but he's struggled mightily to find his footing offensively at the big-league level.

Butler went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 10-1 loss to the Rays.

Butler provided the lone run for the Athletics, crushing a solo homer in the sixth inning. The outfielder has gone yard five times in his past 11 games, though he's hitting just .209 (9-for-43) during that stretch. On the year, Butler is slashing .231/.319/.390 with 17 homers, 59 RBI, 58 runs and 10 stolen bases in 145 contests.

Jenkins went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Thursday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Angels.

He was the one to force extras, taking Ben Joyce deep in the ninth inning to tie the game at 3-3. Jenkins had gone 0-for-16 over his previous six games. The outfield prospect is still adjusting to the majors -- even with this big game, he's batting just .143 with a .556 OPS, two homers, seven RBI, seven runs scored and a stolen base over his first 17 contests for the Twins.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in Thursday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Twins.

Lowe doubled and swiped a bag in the ninth inning, but the Angels weren't able to manufacture a walk-off win in that frame. After hitting safely in four of his last five games, the outfielder is now batting .212 with a .646 OPS, 10 steals, 12 home runs, 29 RBI, 28 runs scored and nine doubles across 319 plate appearances this season.

Doyle went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Tigers.

Doyle has gone 5-for-11 over his last three games and has benefited from the White Sox facing three straight southpaws. He's been mostly limited to a short-side platoon role since he was flipped from Colorado to Chicago at the trade deadline. Doyle is batting .226 with a .590 OPS, three home runs, 12 RBI, 28 runs scored, six doubles, one triple and 14 steals over 79 contests between the two clubs this season.

Meyers suffered a season-ending left kneecap injury last week with Triple-A Sugar Land, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Meyers fouled a ball off his left kneecap Sept. 11 and was placed on the 7-day injured list the following day. After appearing in 100-plus regular-season games with the Astros the previous three years, Meyers spent the 2026 season split between the big leagues and minors. He slashed just .213/.268/.326 with three home runs, 11 RBI, 15 runs scored, one stolen base and a 10:31 BB:K across 153 plate appearances for Houston. Meyers didn't fare much better at Triple-A, posting a .231 average and .639 OPS in 143 trips to the plate.

Larnach (wrist) is not in the lineup Thursday against the Angels.

The 29-year-old has been dealing with left wrist soreness all week and hasn't seen the field since Sunday, but his status could be updated soon after undergoing an MRI. While he remains out, Emmanuel Rodriguez, Walker Jenkins and Luke Keaschall are starting in the outfield Thursday for Minnesota.

Tucker went 4-for-5 with a two-run homer, two doubles, three total RBI and an additional run scored in Thursday's 8-2 win over the Reds.

Tucker got the Dodgers started early with a two-run shot off Brady Singer in the first inning for his 16th homer this season and his first of three extra-base hits in the victory. While it's been a tough year overall for Tucker, the outfielder seems to have turned a corner down the stretch -- he's now 12-for-29 (.414) with four homers and eight extra-base hits in his last eight games. Tucker has boosted his slash line to .232/.331/.387 across 593 plate appearances with 69 RBI, 85 runs scored and 11 stolen bases.

The Astros optioned Loperfido to Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Loperfido struck out during his lone at-bat after being called up from Triple-A on Tuesday, and he'll now head back to Sugar Land with Taylor Trammell returning from the paternity list.
