  • Padres' Miguel Andujar: Sitting again Wednesday

    Andujar is not in the Padres' starting lineup against the Mariners on Wednesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Andujar will ride the bench for a third consecutive game despite posting a .967 OPS with one steal, three doubles and four runs scored across eight games since April 3. Gavin Sheets will serve as the Padres' designated hitter while Ty France starts at first base.

  • Padres' Fernando Tatis: Not in Wednesday's lineup

    Tatis is not in the Padres' starting lineup against the Mariners on Wednesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Tatis is getting a rest day Wednesday, as the Padres are rolling with Nick Castellanos, Jackson Merrill and Ramon Laureano in the outfield from right to left. Tatis has reached base safely in nine of his last 10 games, and over that span he has gone 11-for-41 (.268) with two steals, five runs scored and five RBI.

  • Rays' Richie Palacios: Second straight start vs. RHP

    Palacios will start at second base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    The left-handed-hitting Palacios has now drawn the last two starts at second base over the right-handed-hitting Ben Williamson when the Rays have faced right-handed pitchers. The two could form a loose platoon at the keystone until Tampa Bay gets Gavin Lux (shoulder/ankle) back from the injured list.

  • Randal Grichuk LF | CHW

    Yankees' Randal Grichuk: Back to bench Wednesday

    Grichuk is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    Grichuk will hit the bench after starting in each of the Yankees' last three games, the past two of which came against southpaws. He had been hitless on the season heading into Tuesday's 7-1 loss before breaking through with an eighth-inning double off Reid Detmers. Grichuk is likely to be limited to a short-side platoon role moving forward.

  • Jacob Young CF | WAS

    Nationals' Jacob Young: On bench Wednesday

    Young is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

    Joey Wiemer will receive the start in center field for Washington, but Young could be a candidate to replace Wiemer once right-hander Carmen Mlodzinski is working in bulk relief for Pittsburgh after left-handed opener Mason Montgomery exits the contest. Before striking out twice as part of an 0-for-4 night in Tuesday's 5-4 win, Young had recorded at least one hit in each of his previous five starts, including three extra-base knocks (one home run, two doubles).

  • Phillies' Justin Crawford: Idle for series finale

    Crawford is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

    The Phillies will hold the left-handed-hitting Crawford out for just the second time this season, shielding him from Cubs lefty Shota Imanaga while adding another right-handed bat (Otto Kemp) to the starting outfield. Crawford has done well early on to hold his own at the plate with a .288 average and .755 OPS, but the rookie hasn't offered much of an impact on the bases (one steal in two attempts) after swiping 46 bags in 113 Triple-A games in 2025.

  • Will Benson RF | CIN

    Reds' Will Benson: Not starting against righty

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

    Benson will be on the bench for the fourth game in a row, with the Reds having faced three right-handers and one lefty during that stretch. The left-handed-hitting Benson looked as though he might be a candidate to move into a strong-side platoon role after the Reds optioned Noelvi Marte to Triple-A Louisville on Monday, but the newly recalled Rece Hinds may instead get a look as a full-time player in right field.

  • Heliot Ramos RF | NYY

    Giants' Heliot Ramos: Hitting bench Wednesday

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

    The 26-year-old will receive an evening off while the Giants make room in their starting outfield for their two new Triple-A call-ups, Will Brennan and Drew Gilbert. Ramos saw his six-game hitting streak come to an end with an 0-for-4 showing in Tuesday's 2-1 loss.

  • Royals' Isaac Collins: Excluded from lineup

    Collins (knee) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Tigers.

    Collins departed Tuesday's 2-1 loss with a right knee contusion after running into the side wall and falling into the stands on a catch attempt. He's considered day-to-day. Lane Thomas will occupy left field and bat eighth for the Royals on Wednesday.

  • Drew Gilbert CF | SF

    Giants' Drew Gilbert: Summoned to big club

    The Giants recalled Gilbert from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday.

    With San Francisco moving two outfielders in Harrison Bader (hamstring) and Jared Oliva (wrist) to the injured list, Gilbert and Will Brennan were summoned from Triple-A to restore some depth to the position group. Bader had been making regular starts prior to getting hurt, so his move to the IL could clear the way for either Gilbert or Brennan -- both of whom are left-handed hitters -- to claim a strong-side platoon role in the outfield. At Triple-A, Brennan (.956 OPS in 54 plate appearances) had been outperforming Gilbert (.289/.389/.400 slash line, 8.9 percent strikeout rate in 56 plate appearances) to begin the season.
