Bolte went 3-for-4 with a walk, two home runs, four RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 9-2 win over the Rangers.

The rookie outfielder wasn't getting fooled by lefty Cody Bradford, touching him up for two-run blasts in the third and fourth innings as the A's put the game away early. Bolte snapped a 16-game power drought with the performance, but he stayed productive during that span with a .299/.373/.358 slash line. Through his first 375 big-league plate appearances, Bolte is batting .274 with a respectable .739 OPS, eight homers, 15 steals, 30 RBI and 41 runs.

Acuna went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 9-0 rout of the Nationals.

The seventh-inning long ball off Max Kranick was Acuna's 14th of the season, while the steal was his 20th, but it's the homer that put his name in the record books as the 200th of his career. The star outfielder reached that mark in just 904 games, and combined with his 225 stolen bases, he became the fastest player in MLB history to join the 200-200 club, surpassing Alfonso Soriano's record of 929 games. Per Ian Nicholas Quillen of MLB.com, the next four names on the list are just as impressive -- Eric Davis (1,053 games), Bobby Bonds (1,065), Sammy Sosa (1,094) and Barry Bonds (1,094). Acuna has had a tough, injury-plagued season overall, but he's catching fire for the stretch run, batting .455 (10-for-22) over his last six contests with a homer, two steals, four RBI and six runs.

Myers went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Padres.

Getting the start in center field and batting sixth even with right-hander Casey Mize on the mound for San Diego, Myers delivered his second three-hit effort in his last six games. The 30-year-old is making a case for more playing time as the Reds try to stay in the NL wild-card race, and over his last 15 contests he's slashing .308/.368/.500 with three home runs, one steal, four RBI and eight runs.

Bleday went 3-for-4 with a double, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Padres.

The 28-year-old outfielder put together his best performance since banging out four hits in Arizona on Aug. 22, erasing a rough stretch in which he'd hit just .129 (4-for-31) with zero extra-base hits during the nine games between those offensive eruptions. Bleday's feast-or-famine nature limits his fantasy utility and underscores his .222/.333/.437 slash line on the year, but he's set a new career high in 2026 with 22 homers, and he's five RBI shy of the career-best 60 he recorded in 2024 with the A's.

Carroll started in right field and went 0-for-3 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 1-0 win over the Phillies.

Carroll, who experienced lower-back discomfort Tuesday but stayed in that game, was back in the starting lineup a day later. Not only did he play nine innings in the field, but Carroll also swiped his 21st base of the season. With the team not on Thursday's MLB slate, the back will get rest before the Diamondbacks resume play Friday against the Astros in Houston.

Tucker went 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 8-6, extra-inning loss to the Cardinals.

Tucker has gone 11 games without a multi-hit effort, but he has three steals and an 8:3 BB:K in that span. The outfielder is up to 10 steals on the year, though that's a slight disappointment for a player who had logged at least 25 steals in three of the previous four campaigns. He's batting just .227 with a .679 OPS, 11 home runs, 58 RBI, 71 runs scored, 20 doubles and three triples over 131 contests in his first year with the Dodgers.

Hernandez went 3-for-5 with a double and a stolen base in Wednesday's 8-6, extra-inning loss to the Cardinals.

Hernandez has four multi-hit efforts over his last seven games, going 10-for-28 (.357) in that span. However, the outfielder has just two extra-base hits during that stretch. He's batting .253 with a .712 OPS, 12 homers, three steals, 46 RBI, 53 runs scored, 15 doubles and one triple over 103 contests. Hernandez continues to see the bulk of the playing time in left field for the Dodgers.

Saggese went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 8-6, extra-inning win over the Dodgers.

Saggese got the Cardinals on the board in the sixth inning with his third homer of the series. He also logged multiple hits for the third game in a row. Saggese's hot bat upon his promotion from Triple-A Memphis in late August, coupled with the Cardinals' infield injury woes, has allowed him to take on a starting role at shortstop for now. On the year, he's batting .239 with a .712 OPS, four homers, 10 RBI, 16 runs scored, two doubles, one triple and one stolen base over 36 contests.

Bellinger went 3-for-5 with one RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 6-3 extra-inning win over the Angels.

Bellinger has back-to-back three-hit games to start September, and he's logged multiple hits in four straight contests. The outfielder is giving it a good effort to finish the regular season strong, especially if he can sustain this momentum throughout the rest of the campaign. He's batting .267 with a .769 OPS, 12 home runs, 60 RBI, 61 runs scored, 22 doubles, three triples and 10 stolen bases across 113 contests.

Peters went 2-for-3 with a triple and a stolen base in Wednesday's 2-0 loss to the Astros.

Peters had a five-game homer streak in late August, but since it ended, he's cooled off by going just 4-for-18 with one extra-base hit over his last six games. The outfielder was able to provide a little speed boost in this contest, though that hasn't been a steady part of his production throughout the year. He's 8-for-10 on the basepaths this year while hitting .279 with an .813 OPS, 12 home runs, 52 RBI, 54 runs scored, 27 doubles and four triples over 134 contests.
