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

The Giants will extend Bader a breather after he started in each of the previous five games while going 4-for-18 with a grand slam, a double and a walk during that stretch. Drew Gilbert will fill in for Bader as the Giants' starting center fielder Wednesday.

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

The Mariners will keep Raley and fellow left-handed hitter Dominic Canzone on the bench for the second game in a row while the Athletics send another lefty starter (Jeffrey Springs) to the hill. Seattle will go with Randy Arozarena as its designated hitter and Rob Refsnyder, Julio Rodriguez and Victor Robles as its starting outfield trio for the series finale in Sacramento.

Torres will start in left field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

The left-handed-hitting Torres will make his fifth consecutive start in left field since being summoned from Triple-A Memphis. He's gone 5-for-15 with one home run and a 2:2 BB:K in his first four big-league contests. Torres should continue to receive regular playing time for now, though he's likely to head to the bench when Lars Nootbaar (heels) returns next week.

Crews is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

For the first time since being called up from Triple-A Rochester on May 19, Crews will head to the bench while the Nationals go with Daylen Lile, Jacob Young and James Wood as their starters in the outfield and Jose Tena as their designated hitter. Crews has gotten on base in each of his first eight contests with Washington, slashing .242/.265/.364 with a solo home run, a stolen base and an additional run.

Mitchell went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and three strikeouts in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals.

He launched his third homer of the season in the fifth inning off reliever Ryan Fernandez. Mitchell has been seeing the ball well of late and has hit safely in seven of his last eight games, batting .360 with a 1.087 OPS, two homers, two doubles, six RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base over that stretch.

The Mets transferred Robert (spine) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.

Robert landed on the 10-day IL on April 30 due to lumbar spine disc herniation and has yet to resume baseball activities while he continues to deal with lingering symptoms of the injury. While surgery isn't on the table for Robert at this point, the 28-year-old has received consultation from outside doctors regarding a treatment plan for his symptoms, per MLB.com. Robert remains without an official timeline for a return, though his move to the 60-day IL ensures that he won't be an option for the Mets until at least late June.

Wood went 3-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Guardians.

Getting the start in left field, Wood took Joey Cantillo deep in the second inning -- just his third homer of the season off a southpaw, compared to 11 against right-handed pitching. Wood has racked up three or more hits in four of the last nine games, slashing a blistering .444/.535/.750 over that stretch with two doubles, three long balls, two steals, eight RBI and 10 runs.

Robles went 3-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the A's.

It's Robles' second multi-hit effort in eight games since his return from the IL -- he's gone 6-for-19 (.316) with a pair of doubles and one steal overall. Robles' defense should afford him fairly regular playing time in Seattle, though he'll likely be limited to at-bats against left-handed pitching while platooning with Luke Raley and Dominic Canzone.

Smith went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 10-7 loss to the Rangers.

Smith cut the Astros' deficit to 9-6 in the eighth inning with a two-out, 457-foot blast off Jalen Beeks, his fifth homer this year. Smith has slowly started to turn things around at the plate -- he's logged at least one hit in six straight contests, going 7-for-21 with a .940 OPS in that span, after going just 2-for-26 in his previous 11 games. Overall, Smith is slashing .213/.307/.337 with 24 runs scored, 18 RBI and seven steals across 205 plate appearances this season.

Pages went 4-for-5 with a solo home run, two doubles, three total RBI, one stolen base and three runs scored in Tuesday's 15-6 win over the Rockies.

Pages was dominant at the plate in a way that hasn't been seen from the outfielder in a few weeks. His steal Tuesday was his first since May 5 versus the Astros. Pages is hitting .299 with an .882 OPS, 12 homers, 49 RBI, 33 runs scored, 12 doubles and seven thefts across 55 contests this season. He showed he could stick in the majors in 2025, but the 25-year-old has put together a full-on breakout year in 2026.
