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

Loperfido was on the bench for consecutive games over the weekend against the Twins, but he had started in both of the previous two contests while going 1-for-8 with four strikeouts. Since being acquired from the Astros in late July, Loperfido is slashing just .198/.232/.363 with a 34.7 percent strikeout rate, and his ongoing struggles appear to have started to cost him playing time. Davis Schneider will replace Loperfido in left field Wednesday.
