Carroll went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a triple and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 15-5 win over the Athletics.

Carroll tied the game with a solo shot in the fourth inning before adding a triple and scoring again in the sixth. The 25-year-old has hit safely in four of five games to open the second half, tallying two homers and a steal during that stretch. For the year, he's slashing .252/.344/.490 with 15 homers, 48 RBI, 58 runs scored and 11 steals across 419 plate appearances.

Waldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 15-5 win over the Athletics.

Waldschmidt launched his first career home run in the fifth inning before adding a sacrifice fly in the sixth. The 23-year-old has now hit safely in four straight games and has gone 5-for-19 with two extra-base hits, four RBI, three runs scored and a steal across six games since rejoining the Diamondbacks on July 10. Through 144 major-league plate appearances overall, the rookie outfielder is slashing .260/.308/.374 with 12 extra-base hits, 12 RBI, 14 runs scored and six steals.

Caissie (calf) has been cleared to hit and has increased his defensive and plyometric work, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Caissie has also been running "up to 85 percent" intensity and continues to progress in his recovery from a mild right calf strain that landed him on the injured list July 9. The initial recovery timeline was 2-to-4 weeks, so the 24-year-old outfielder could be back with the Marlins by late July or early August, depending on when/if he goes on a rehab assignment.

Mangum was scratched for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Yankees due to right foot discomfort.

Per Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Mangum fouled a ball off his foot during the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader but stayed in the game to finish 2-for-5 with an RBI single in a 5-3 extra-inning win. The Pirates will have an update on Mangum's status after he undergoes further tests to determine the severity of the injury. Billy Cook will take over in center field and bat ninth.

Marsee is not in the Marlins' starting lineup against the Astros on Wednesday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Marsee has gone 1-for-13 with five strikeouts across four games since the All-Star break. He'll exit Wednesday's lineup while Esteury Ruiz starts in center field and bats ninth against Astros right-hander Peter Lambert.

Rincones is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

The Phillies will keep the left-handed-hitting Rincones on the bench for a second straight game while the Dodgers send another southpaw (Eric Lauer) to the bump. Bryan De La Cruz will replace Rincones in right field Wednesday for what will be De La Cruz's Phillies debut.

Crawford is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

The left-handed-hitting Crawford will remain on the bench for the second night in a row while the Dodgers send another southpaw (Eric Lauer) to the bump. Derek Hill will replace Crawford in center field and will bat sixth.

Marsh is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

The Phillies have given Marsh more opportunities to play against left-handed pitching this season, but he'll take a seat for the series finale while the Dodgers send southpaw Eric Lauer to the bump. Philadelphia will roll out an all-right-handed-hitting outfield of Edmundo Sosa, Derek Hill and Bryan De La Cruz from left to right Wednesday.

Kepler is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

The left-handed-hitting Kepler will head to the bench for the second time in the series while the Athletics send another southpaw (Gage Jump) to the bump for the finale. Ryan Waldschmidt will replace Kepler in left field and will bat ninth.

Marte is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

Marte has been stuck in prolonged slump at the plate, as he's slashing just .152/.200/.318 with a 25.7 percent strikeout rate over a stretch of 21 games dating back to June 22. He'll hit the bench for the third time in four contests and looks to have faded into a part-time role while the Reds have reopened more playing time for Nathaniel Lowe.
