Carter went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Yankees.

Carter went deep for the first time since April 23, which was also his last multi-RBI effort. The 23-year-old outfielder still has a long way to go before commanding more fantasy attention, though. Across 130 trips to the plate this year, Carter is slashing a paltry .178/.299/.336 with four big flies, five doubles, 11 RBI and five stolen bases.

Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run during the Cubs' 7-6, extra-inning win over the Reds on Wednesday.

The Reds' four-run ninth inning gave them a 6-4 lead heading into the bottom of the frame, but Crow-Armstrong extended the game with a two-run homer off Graham Ashcraft. It was the fourth home run of the season for Crow-Armstrong and extended his on-base streak to 10 games. Over that 10-game span, he has gone 10-for-36 (.278) with two steals, three home runs, eight RBI and seven runs scored.

DeLauter went 2-for-4 with a double and a two-run single during the Guardians' 3-1 win over the Royals on Wednesday.

DeLauter gave the Guardians the lead for good in the fifth inning when his single off Luinder Avila brought both Austin Hedges and Petey Halpin home. DeLauter has recorded a hit in 10 consecutive games, and over that span he has gone 18-for-35 (.514) with one home run, seven RBI and a 4:4 BB:K.

Rodriguez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Atlanta.

Rodriguez extended Seattle's lead to 2-0 in the sixth inning with a 436-foot blast off Martin Perez, his fifth homer this year. Rodriguez has been swinging a hot bat, going 11-for-34 (.324) with three long balls in his last eight games. Overall, he's slashing .260/.327/.407 with 17 RBI, 18 runs scored and three stolen bases across 165 plate appearances this season.

Pages went 3-for-5 with three home runs and six RBI in Wednesday's 12-2 win over the Astros.

The Dodgers lost starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow after just one inning to back spasms, but Pages and the offense made sure the bullpen's job wasn't too difficult. The center fielder launched a three-run homer off Lance McCullers in the third inning, a two-run blast against Jason Alexander in the fifth and completed the hat trick with a solo shot off position player Cesar Salazar in the ninth. The eruption snapped a 20-game power drought for Pages, but on the season he's still slashing .336/.376/.569 with eight home runs, six steals, 22 runs and 33 RBI through 37 contests.

Taylor is not in the Mets' starting lineup against the Rockies on Wednesday, Manny Randhawa of MLB.com reports.

Taylor will be out of the Mets' lineup for a second consecutive game while the team starts Juan Soto, Carson Benge and MJ Melendez in the outfield from left to right. Taylor has struggled at the plate of late, having gone 3-for-22 (.136) with one RBI over his last eight outings.

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

After going 0-for-12 over his last three games, the left-handed-hitting Kwan will be given a chance to catch his breath Wednesday rather than going up against a tough left-hander in Royals ace Cole Ragans. Angel Martinez will step in in as the Guardians' left fielder and leadoff man in place of Kwan, who had started each of the previous nine contests.

Nimmo (hamstring) will start at designated hitter and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game versus the Yankees.

Nimmo tweaked his hamstring this past Friday and has not started a game in the outfield since then, occupying the DH spot twice and sitting out the other two contests. The Rangers could continue to ease Nimmo back into things in a non-defensive role until he feels back to 100 percent.

Crawford is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

The left-handed-swinging Crawford will get a day off as the Athletics send southpaw Jeffrey Springs to the bump. Brandon Marsh will shift over to center field, and Felix Reyes will get a start in left field for the Phillies.

Castro is out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Mets.

Castro will get a breather after starting each of the past six games. The Rockies will go with Edouard Julien at second base against the Mets.
