Mitchell is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

The Brewers will send the left-handed-hitting Mitchell to the bench while southpaw Robbie Ray takes the hill for the Padres. Brandon Lockridge will step in for Mitchell in center field and will bat seventh.

McCray is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

McCray had been seeing steady playing time against right-handed pitching since late July, but he looks like he'll be the odd man out of the lineup after the Giants welcomed Victor Bericoto back from the injured list Tuesday. For the second day in a row, McCray will be on the bench while the Giants will roll with a starting outfield of Bericoto, Drew Gilbert and Jung Hoo Lee from left to right.

Beck is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Since being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Aug. 3, Beck has started in five of the Rockies' ensuing nine games while going 5-for-18 with three extra-base hits, one walk and one run. The Rockies could use Beck primarily against left-handed pitching moving forward, as the left-handed-hitting Zac Veen could be in line to get an extended look against righties after being promoted from Triple-A on Tuesday.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Chourio is in Wednesday's lineup versus the Padres despite a sore thumb, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Murphy admitted to misspeaking when he said after Tuesday's 11-2 loss that Brice Turang was battling a sore thumb, as it's actually Chourio whose thumb is bothering him. Chourio was lifted for a pinch hitter Tuesday, though it's unclear whether that move was related to his thumb issue or simply the lopsided score. Though Chourio is back in left field and in the leadoff spot for Wednesday's series finale, his thumb injury will be monitored closely.

Tatis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Padres manager Craig Stammen will give Tatis a break while San Diego wraps up its three-game set with Milwaukee with a day game after a night game. Austin Hays will get the nod in right field in place of Tatis, who had started each of the last nine contests while going 9-for-36 (.250 average) with four home runs, three doubles, three walks, 10 runs and six RBI.

Tatis went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in an 11-2 win over Milwaukee on Tuesday.

Tatis' loudest contribution was a solo blast to right field in the fourth inning. It was his fourth homer over his past seven contests, and the veteran slugger appears to finally be getting his power stroke going. Tatis didn't homer at all until his 56th contest of the campaign and had gone 12 straight games without a long ball prior to the aforementioned current seven-game power surge. His muscle has helped San Diego bolt into playoff position -- the Padres have won 14 of their past 18 contests and are now tied for the final wild-card spot in the National League.

Torres is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Torres finds himself on the bench for a third straight game, with the left-handed-hitting outfielder sitting twice against right-handed pitchers during that span. Jose Fermin will get the nod over Torres in left field, but both players may be merely keeping the seat warm for prospect Joshua Baez, who has submitted an .893 OPS at Triple-A Memphis this season and could be in the mix for a late-season promotion.

Rengifo went 2-for-5 with a grand slam and four RBI in Tuesday's 11-2 win over the Brewers.

Rengifo came to the plate against his former team with the bases loaded and two outs in the second inning after San Diego had already pushed across a run, and he broke the game open with a grand slam off Kyle Harrison for his third homer of the season. The long ball snapped a 12-game drought without driving in a run. Through 81 games this season, Rengifo is slashing .241/.322/.316 with three home runs, 11 doubles, 31 RBI, 34 runs scored and six stolen bases.

Tawa went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Rockies.

Tawa is batting .302 (13-for-43) with two home runs, five RBI and four steals over 11 games in August. He's settled into a starting role at first base, and it appears the steady playing time is helping him gain some confidence on the basepaths. His production isn't exactly rooted in stability -- he's also struck out 13 times this month. Overall, Tawa is batting .236 with a .673 OPS, six home runs, six steals, 26 RBI and 21 runs scored through 64 contests.

Carroll went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Rockies.

Carroll has gone 6-for-26 (.231) with four extra-base hits and four RBI over his last seven games. The outfielder gave the Diamondbacks a quick start on offense with his first-inning blast Tuesday. For the year, Carroll is batting .241 with an .805 OPS, 17 homers, 56 RBI, 73 runs scored, 24 doubles, 13 triples and 16 stolen bases over 117 contests.
