Padres' Samad Taylor: On injured list with oblique injury
The Padres placed Taylor on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right oblique strain.
Taylor was taken out of Tuesday's game early after tweaking his oblique, and although he said before Wednesday's contest that he was day-to-day, per Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune, the Padres will ultimately place him on the IL and keep him out through the All-Star break. Luis Rengifo was selected from Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move to replenish the Padres' bench depth.

Steven Kwan LF | CLE
Guardians' Steven Kwan: Out of Wednesday's lineup
Kwan is not in the Guardians' starting lineup against the Twins on Wednesday.
The Twins are sending southpaw Connor Prielipp to the mound, and Kwan has struggled against left-handers this season, slashing .165/.287/.200 with five RBI across 102 plate appearances. With Kwan on the bench, the Guardians will start David Fry, Kahlil Watson and Chase DeLauter in the outfield from left to right.

Andy Pages CF | LAD
Dodgers' Andy Pages: Resting up Wednesday
Pages isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.
After going 1-for-9 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored across the first two games of the series, Pages will retreat to the dugout to begin Wednesday's finale. Alex Call will fill the void in center field and bat eighth.

Sal Frelick RF | MIL
Brewers' Sal Frelick: Idle Wednesday
Frelick isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
Frelick will get a chance to catch his breath Wednesday after going 0-for-6 across both games of Tuesday's twin bill. Luis Lara will replace him as Milwaukee's right fielder and bat sixth.

Wade Meckler LF | LAA
Angels' Wade Meckler: Sitting vs. left-hander
Meckler is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Rangers on Wednesday.
The Rangers are sending southpaw Mackenzie Gore to the mound, so the lefty-hitting Meckler will take a seat while Josh Lowe, Jose Siri and Jo Adell start in the outfield from left to right. With Mike Trout (hamstring) back from the 10-day injured list, it's possible that either or both of Meckler and Lowe lose out on playing time against right-handed pitching. Meckler is slashing .284/.357/.394 with two steals, two home runs and 16 RBI over 129 plate appearances this season.

Nathan Church CF | STL
Cardinals' Nathan Church: Idle against lefty
Church is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.
With Milwaukee sending a tough lefty in Kyle Harrison to the bump, Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol will elect to give the lefty-swinging Church a breather. Lars Nootbaar will cover center field in place of Church, who went 7-for-43 (.163 average) with three home runs, eight RBI and five runs while starting in each of the past 12 games.

Tristan Peters CF | CHW
White Sox's Tristan Peters: Out of Wednesday's lineup
Peters is not in the White Sox's starting lineup against the Red Sox on Wednesday.
Peters saw his eight-game hitting streak come to an end in Tuesday's 8-1 loss to Boston, when he went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. He'll be on the bench for the beginning of Wednesday's contest while Junior Perez starts in center field and bats seventh against Red Sox southpaw Jake Bennett.
-
Taylor Trammell CF | HOU
Astros' Taylor Trammell: Idle for third straight game
Trammell is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
The left-handed-hitting Trammell will hit the bench for a third straight game, with his last two absences coming against left-handed starting pitchers. Brice Matthews will get the nod in center field Wednesday, but Trammell could still occupy the strong side of a platoon at the position.
-
LaMonte Wade Jr. LF | HOU
Astros' LaMonte Wade: Idle against southpaw
Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
Wade will join fellow left-handed hitters Braden Shewmake and Taylor Trammell on the bench while the Astros stock up on some extra right-handed bats to counter Nationals southpaw Foster Griffin. Zach Dezenzo will replace Wade in left field and will bat eighth.
