Steer was removed from Wednesday's lineup against the Red Sox due to an eye infection, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Steer was scratched from the lineup a few hours prior to the start of Wednesday's game, but it's possible that he'll be available off the bench. The 24-year-old should be considered day-to-day for now.

Rivas isn't starting Wednesday against the Marlins.

Rivas has started against just three left-handed pitchers this season, and he'll get a breather with southpaw Jesus Luzardo on the mound Wednesday. P.J. Higgins is starting at first base and batting seventh.

Steer was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox due to an unspecified reason.

Steer had been slated to start at shortstop, but he'll instead be on the bench for the second game in a row, which likely hints that he's dealing with an injury or illness. Stuart Fairchild was added to the starting nine as a replacement of Steer, who can be viewed as day-to-day until the Reds provide an explanation for why the rookie was scratched.

Young went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Marlins.

Getting the start as the designated hitter and batting seventh in his fourth career appearance in the majors, Young swiped his first bag after stealing only three in 108 games at Triple-A Iowa this year. The 27-year-old doesn't have any kind of prospect pedigree after being a 15th-round pick in 2017, but it appears as though the rebuilding Cubs will give him consistent playing time against right-handed pitching over the final days of the season.

Cron went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two additional RBI in a 6-3 loss to San Francisco on Tuesday.

Cron was responsible for all three of Colorado's runs with a solo home run in the sixth inning and two-run double in the eighth following a first inning single. The long ball is the 32-year-old's 29th of the campaign, which puts him one shy of his career-high of 30 set back in 2018 with Tampa Bay. He's in the midst of a 6-for-10 stretch on the heels of going 2-for-18 over his prior five contests.

Alonso went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's 7-5 victory over the Brewers.

Alonso took Brad Boxberger deep for a three-run shot in the top of the sixth frame, narrowing the Brewers' lead to 4-3. The long ball was his 37th of the year and sixth of September over 19 games. Alonso has driven in at least one run in eight consecutive games and has now set a career high with 121 RBI in 2022. The first baseman is batting .267 with 37 homers, 121 RBI, 84 runs and five stolen bases over 149 games in his fourth season with the Mets.

Wade isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Colorado, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Wade holds just a .268 OPS when facing left-handed pitching, so it's no surprise to see him out against southpaw Kyle Freeland. Mike Yastrzemski will take Wade's spot in right field, allowing Lewis Brinson to start in center, batting ninth.

Steer is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Red Sox.

Steer is hitting .218/.317/.327 with one home run, 14 strikeouts and eight walks in 16 games since making his MLB debut earlier this month. Donovan Solano will start at first base while batting fifth.

Flores went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Monday's 10-7 extra-inning win over the Rockies.

Flores is starting to find some traction at the plate again, going 6-for-14 with four RBI over his last three games after slumping for much of the first half of September. The infielder is back up to a .235/.316/.412 slash line with 19 home runs, 69 RBI, 67 runs scored and 27 doubles through 139 games in what's been a career year for him in terms of counting stats.

Tellez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 7-2 loss to the Mets.

His seventh-inning blast off Tylor Megill provided Milwaukee with all its offense on a night in which the team managed only four hits. Tellez has homered in back-to-back games and gone yard four times in the last seven, and while his .225/.310/.470 slash line on the season remains less than stellar, it comes with a career-high 32 home runs and 85 RBI through 139 contests.
