Norby went 2-for-3 with a double and a solo home run Wednesday against the Rockies.

Norby made his return to Colorado's lineup after sitting each of the team's last two games -- both of which came against righties. He provided the Rockies' only run of the game with his seventh home run of the season and second in his last 11 starts. Norby has also hit .273 with eight RBI and seven runs scored in that span, though he's still lost playing time due to the return of Kyle Karros.

Foscue started at second base and went 1-for-3 with a walk in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Seattle.

The Rangers faced Mariners left-hander Kade Anderson, which meant Foscue entered the starting lineup. It was the fifth southpaw in the club's last eight games, and Foscue has done well with his recent surge in plate appearances. His single Wednesday extended a hit streak to seven games, during which he's gone 8-for-21 with two doubles, one home run and seven RBI. Foscue is batting .271 with an .838 OPS across a career-high 218 plate appearances.

Lee went 0-for-2 with three walks and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Twins.

Getting the start at second base and batting second, Lee did an effective job setting the table for the heart of Detroit's order. The rookie infielder is batting just .115 (3-for-26) in September, but he's drawn six free passes and scored six runs in eight games. With the Tigers having fallen out of the wild-card picture, the 23-year-old will likely continue getting consistent playing time while bouncing between the keystone and the hot corner.

McLain is not in the Reds' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Wednesday.

McLain will receive a rare day off Wednesday, with Juan Brito drawing the start at second base and batting sixth against Dodgers right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto. McLain has gone 4-for-24 with one steal, two home runs, four RBI and four runs scored through seven games in September.

The Orioles recalled Jackson from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.

He will provide utility depth and could get some starts against left-handed pitching while Blaze Alexander (back) is sidelined. Jackson has slashed .226/.255/.359 with seven home runs in 89 games for the Orioles this season.

Chisholm has been diagnosed with a right thumb sprain and will be placed on the 10-day injured list, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Chisholm suffered the injury on a slide into second base during Tuesday's game versus the Rockies. He will be shut down from baseball activities for 7-to-10 days before being re-evaluated. Given the timing of the injury, it's possible Chisholm won't make it back before the end of the regular season. Anthony Volpe could replace Chisholm on the active roster, and if that happens Volpe is an option to share starts at second base with Jose Caballero.

Chisholm (thumb) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rockies.

Chisholm had to be lifted from Tuesday's contest against the Rockies after hurting his right thumb on a slide into second base. He is listed among the Yankees' reserves on the lineup card, so Chisholm has avoided a trip to the injured list for the time being. Jose Caballero is stepping in at second base in Chisholm's stead.

Cronenworth is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Nationals.

He's getting a routine day off after starting each of the previous six games. Fernando Tatis will net a start at second base, and Jase Bowen will play right field for the Padres in the series finale.

Basabe is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Cardinals.

Basabe started the previous five contests for the Giants, but he'll exit the lineup for Wednesday's series finale. Jonah Cox will handle second base in Basabe's stead.

McNeil is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Blue Jays.

McNeil started each of the previous 12 contests for the Athletics, but he'll take a seat during Wednesday's matinee. Tommy White will handle first base, and Donovan Walton will be covering second base for the rubber match.
