Tellez isn't in the Pirates' lineup Wednesday versus Houston.

Left-hander Framber Valdez will start on the mound for the Astros on Wednesday, meaning the lefty-hitting Tellez will head to the bench to begin the game. Connor Joe will get the nod at first base and bat third.

Canha isn't in the Giants' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Canha was traded from Detroit to San Francisco on Tuesday, but he will have to wait until Friday to make his Giants debut in Cincinnati. Marco Luciano will start as the designated hitter Wednesday while Brett Wisely starts at second base.

Busch is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

Busch will be joined on the bench by fellow left-handed hitter Mike Tauchman while the Reds send southpaw Nick Lodolo to the hill. Patrick Wisdom will cover first base in Busch's stead.

Cronenworth is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Dodgers.

Left-hander Clayton Kershaw will be the starting pitcher for the Dodgers, offering an opportunity for the lefty-hitting Cronenworth to get a little rest. Donovan Solano will play first base for the Padres.

Bauers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

With starts in each of the past four games, Bauers' opportunities have picked up of late in the wake of Christian Yelich (back) landing on the injured list. Bauers will likely continue to sit regularly against left-handed pitchers, however, and he finds himself on the bench Wednesday while southpaw Chris Sale takes the hill for Atlanta.

Manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that he doesn't expect Freeman (personal) to return from the family emergency list before the end of the Dodgers' series versus San Diego, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Freeman will be required to come off the family emergency list Saturday, though Roberts' comments leave open the possibility that the first baseman could be ready for Friday's series opener against Oakland. Until then, Cavan Biggio will continue to start at first base for Los Angeles.

Joe went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Astros.

Joe notched his first multi-hit game since June 26. The 31-year-old is batting a meager .224 (11-for-49) in July, and just two of those hits have gone for extra bases. For the season, he's slashing .244/.325/.383 with seven home runs, 31 RBI, 42 runs scored and two stolen bases across 332 plate appearances. Joe got the start in right field Tuesday, but he'll likely be back in a short-side platoon role at first base once outfielder Bryan De La Cruz reports to the Pirates after they acquired him in a trade with the Marlins earlier in the day.

The Tigers traded Canha to the Giants on Tuesday in exchange for pitching prospect Eric Silva, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Canha is returning to the Bay Area after spending the first seven years of his career in Oakland, but this time he's bound for the other side of the Bay. He was a good bet to be dealt before the deadline, hence his omission from the starting lineup for the Tigers in Tuesday's game versus the Guardians. In July, the 35-year-old has slashed .250/.344/.385 with one home run. Canha has started 31 games at first base, 33 in the outfield and 31 as the designated hitter this season. The Giants recently parted with Jorge Soler, who started in 92 games at DH, in a trade with Atlanta, potentially opening up a path to regular playing time for Canha.

The Diamondbacks placed Walker on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a strained left oblique.

Walker will head to the IL for the first time since the 2021 season after he tweaked the oblique muscle during Monday's 9-8 win over the Nationals. The first baseman was diagnosed with a low-grade strain following an MRI and hopes to rejoin the Diamondbacks in about three weeks, per Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic. In a corresponding move, Pavin Smith was recalled from Triple-A Reno, but it'll likely be trade-acquisition Josh Bell that works as Arizona's primary first baseman for the duration of Walker's absence.

The Diamondbacks received "relatively good news" on Walker's (oblique) MRI but are still expected to place him on the 10-day injured list, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Walker tweaked his oblique in Monday's win over the Nationals. While it sounds like the strain isn't overly severe, it's bad enough that he'll be out, at minimum, for the next 10 days. Arizona acquired Josh Bell via trade with the Marlins earlier Tuesday and will install him as its first baseman while Walker recovers.
