Conforto is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

The Dodgers will send the left-handed-hitting Conforto to the bench for the matinee contest while southpaw Matthew Liberatore takes the hill for St. Louis. Alex Call will fill in as the starting left fielder in place of Conforto, who hasn't been productive so far in August with just two hits in 17 at-bats.

Doyle is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Doyle will retreat to the bench for the day game after a night game, paving the way for Yanquiel Fernandez to enter the lineup at designated hitter while Tyler Freeman joins Mickey Moniak and Jordan Beck in the outfield. Doyle started in both of the first two games of the series, going 2-for-8 with a pair of strikeouts.

Myers is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Astros.

Myers is absent from the starting nine for the second straight game and the third time in the last four contests. Since Jakob Marsee took over in Myers' old spot in center field, Myers has been one of a few players the Marlins have been rotating in and out of the lineup in right field. Troy Johnston will get the nod in right field Wednesday.

Encarnacion went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-1 win over the Pirates.

Encarnacion started in right field for the first time since being reinstated from the injured list Monday. The 27-year-old outfielder has missed significant time this season due to a strained oblique and fractured hand, but he returned Tuesday from an extended absence and hit his first homer of 2025. He's now slashing .148/.148/.296 with two runs scored, a home run, a double and a stolen base across 27 plate appearances.

Tucker is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

With the Reds sending a southpaw (Andrew Abbott) to the mound and the Cubs wrapping up their series versus Cincinnati with a day game after a night game, the left-handed-hitting Tucker will receive what appears to be a routine rest day. Tucker started in each of the Cubs' last 11 contests, slashing .237/.396/.289 with no home runs, no stolen bases, four RBI and four runs over that stretch. Willi Castro will replace Tucker in right field Wednesday.

Marsee went 2-for-2 with a walk, a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's loss to the Astros.

Not much went right for the Marlins in this one, but Marsee provided a highlight by leading off the bottom of the fifth inning with his first career big-league homer, as he launched an AJ Blubaugh sweeper 409 feet to right field. Marsee has gone 6-for-12 with a 5:5 BB:K and five extra-base hits (three doubles, a triple and a homer) in five games since his promotion, and the early returns suggest Miami has found its long-term answer in center field.

McCray is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

After making three straight starts against right-handed pitching, the left-handed-hitting McCray took a seat in Tuesday's 8-1 win while the Pirates sent righty Mike Burrows to the hill. Jerar Encarnacion started in right field in McCray's stead and went 1-for-5 with a solo home run, and will now stick in the lineup for a second straight contest while southpaw Andrew Heaney takes the mound for Pittsburgh. McCray has gone just 2-for-13 with eight strikeouts since getting called up from Triple-A Sacramento, so it wouldn't be surprising if he lost hold of a strong-side platoon role and ceded regular duties in right field to Encarnacion.

Cruz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Giants.

The left-handed-hitting Cruz has gone 0-for-17 over the last four games and the Giants are sending southpaw Robbie Ray to the hill, so the 26-year-old will get a chance to regroup Wednesday. Alexander Canario will patrol center field and bat seventh for the Pirates in the series finale.

White went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Brewers.

He was the only Atlanta hitter to figure out Milwaukee pitching on the night, taking Freddy Peralta deep for a solo shot in the fourth inning and drawing a bases-loaded walk in the seventh. White has gone yard three times in the last three games, and in seven contests since Ronald Acuna (calf) went down, the 31-year-old bench player is batting .296 (8-for-27) with nine RBI.

Marsh went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Orioles.

Marsh got his night going with a second-inning double to get the Phillies on the board. He later cushioned their lead with a solo blast in the eighth to make it 5-0. Marsh now has five multi-hit efforts in his last 10 games and has doubled his season home-run total with three long balls over that span. He remains in a platoon role in center field, however, alongside deadline acquisition Harrison Bader.
