  • Owen Caissie RF | MIA

    Marlins' Owen Caissie: Hitting bench against lefty

    Caissie is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

    Miami will keep the left-handed-hitting Caissie on the bench for the second straight night while Atlanta goes with another lefty starting pitcher (Chris Sale). Javier Sanoja will step in for Caissie as Miami's starting right fielder.

  • Jakob Marsee CF | MIA

    Marlins' Jakob Marsee: Sitting again vs. LHP

    Marsee is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

    Marsee will be relegated to the bench for the second day in a row while Atlanta sends another lefty (Chris Sale) to the bump. The Marlins will go with Esteury Ruiz as Marsee's replacement in center field.

  • Kyle Stowers 1B | MIA

    Marlins' Kyle Stowers: Grabbing seat versus lefty

    Stowers is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's tilt versus Atlanta.

    The left-handed-hitting Stowers was in the lineup versus southpaw Martin Perez on Tuesday, but he will take a seat Wednesday as Atlanta sends lefty ace Chris Sale to the hill. Heriberto Hernandez will net a start in left field for the Marlins.

  • Jacob Young CF | WAS

    Nationals' Jacob Young: Returns to lineup Wednesday

    Young (rib) will start in center field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Mets.

    Young left Monday's game against the Mets after being hit by a pitch in the ribs and did not play in Tuesday's contest. He escaped with merely a contusion, however, and is back in there after taking one day to recuperate.

  • Jose Azocar RF | ATL

    Braves' Jose Azocar: DFA'd by Atlanta

    Atlanta designated Azocar for assignment Wednesday.

    Atlanta reinstated Eli White (concussion) from the 7-day injured list, with Azocar giving up his spot on the active roster to facilitate the move. Azocar has logged 16 plate appearances with Atlanta on the season, slashing .333/.375/.467 with a stolen base and a run.

  • Eli White CF | BOS

    Braves' Eli White: Returns from concussion IL

    Atlanta activated White from the 7-day concussion injured list Wednesday.

    White missed a little more than a week of action while recovering from concussion symptoms, but he'll skip a rehab assignment and go directly back onto the big-league roster. The 31-year-old will serve as an extra outfielder for Atlanta and will see some playing time against left-handed pitching.

  • Corbin Carroll RF | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Handed day off Wednesday

    Carroll is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

    During Tuesday's game, Carroll was hit in the head by a relay throw on his triple in the bottom of the first inning. He was able to stay in the game and ended up playing all nine innings of Arizona's 5-3 comeback win. According to Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic, Carroll exhibited no symptoms of a concussion during or after Tuesday's game and campaigned to play Wednesday, but manager Torey Lovullo said that he elected to give the star outfielder the day off since he was due for a breather anyway. Jorge Barrosa will get the nod in right field in place of Carroll, who had started each of Arizona's last 33 games.

  • Giants' Harrison Bader: Receiving afternoon off

    Bader is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Bader will pick up some rest in the series finale after he went 5-for-22 with four extra-base hits (two home runs, two doubles), five RBI and four runs while starting in the Giants' last five games. Drew Gilbert will cover center field in place of Bader on Wednesday.

  • Jung Hoo Lee RF | SF

    Giants' Jung Hoo Lee: Not yet ready to start

    Lee (back) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    According to MLB.com, Lee has shown significant improvement since being lifted from Monday's 12-2 loss due to back spasms, but he'll miss out on a second straight start nonetheless. The Giants expect Lee to avoid a trip to the injured list, and he could be ready to return to the lineup Friday against the White Sox following Thursday's team off day.

  • Brenton Doyle CF | CHW

    Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Day-to-day with oblique bruise

    The Rockies announced that Doyle is considered day-to-day after suffering a left oblique contusion during Tuesday's 10-0 loss to the Rangers, Manny Randhawa of MLB.com reports.

    Doyle isn't expected to play in Wednesday's series finale while he continues to be monitored, but the Rockies haven't decided on his availability for their upcoming seven-game road trip. The 28-year-old has posted a career-worst .549 OPS so far this season and appears to have moved into a short-side platoon role in center field in recent weeks.
