Reds manager Terry Francona said that Steer is dealing with some swelling in his hand, but the 27-year-old will start at first base and bat fifth Wednesday against the Red Sox.

The Reds and Red Sox are essentially playing a doubleheader Wednesday, after they resumed Tuesday's suspended game in the top of the fourth inning earlier in the day. Steer finished 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in the Reds' 5-3 loss, but he experienced swelling in his hand after being plunked by a pitch in the seventh inning. Though he'll have just a few hours to rest up between games, Steer is apparently feeling well enough to play the field and hit during the nightcap.

Harper is not in the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Padres.

Harper started at first base and went 1-for-4 in the Phillies' 6-4 loss in the first game of the day, which was his second appearance since returning from the 10-day injured list Monday following a three-plus week absence due to right wrist inflammation. His absence from the lineup in Wednesday's nightcap appears to be a result of workload management rather than any sort of setback. Otto Kemp will handle first base and bat sixth as the Phillies try for a doubleheader split.

Hoskins is absent from the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets.

The Brewers will go with Jake Bauers at first base in Wednesday's matinee. Hoskins will be available off the bench and should be back in the lineup for the nightcap.

Contreras (wrist) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

As anticipated, Contreras will be held out of the lineup for Wednesday's series finale after he was forced out of Tuesday's 1-0 loss due to a left wrist contusion, which he sustained when he was hit by a 99-mph Paul Skenes fastball. With a team off day looming Thursday, Contreras will get two full days to heal before potentially rejoining the lineup for Friday's series opener with the Cubs. Alec Burleson will cover first base Wednesday in Contreras' stead.

Busch went 3-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Guardians.

Busch has been good all season for the Cubs, but especially so lately. The slugging infielder is batting .412 over his last 10 games with three home runs, eight runs scored and 11 RBI. The 27-year-old remains vulnerable against lefties, and he often sits in those matchups, but Busch has become a reliable fantasy option against righties.

Contreras (hand) underwent X-rays after exiting Tuesday's contest in Pittsburg, which came back negative, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Contreras is considered day-to-day as he avoided any structural damage after being struck in the left hand by a fastball from Paul Skenes in the fourth inning Tuesday. With the Cardinals set to finish their series against the Pirates on Wednesday before an off day Thursday, it's possible that the 33-year-old could be held out until Friday's series opener at Wrigley Field.

Naylor (neck) was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Giants.

Naylor was set to make his return to the lineup after missing the last three games with neck stiffness, but he doesn't appear to have fully moved past the injury just yet. With Naylor on the bench again Tuesday, Pavin Smith will start at first base and Randal Grichuk will start at designated hitter.

Contreras (hand/wrist) exited Tuesday's contest against the Pirates in the bottom of the fourth inning, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

Contreras was struck in the left hand/wrist by a 99.3 mph fastball from Paul Skenes to open the top of the fourth, ultimately remaining in the game for the rest of the Cardinals' time at-bat. The 33-year-old was replaced at first base by Alec Burleson while Garrett Hampson entered the game in right field. More information on the status of Contreras will likely come in the near future.

Naylor (neck) is batting cleanup as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Giants.

The 28-year-old slugger sat out the previous three games due to neck stiffness, but he's back in the lineup in a non-defensive capacity Tuesday versus San Francisco. Pavin Smith is starting at first base with Naylor easing his way back into the starting nine.

Smith went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Smith singled in the second inning and added a double in the seventh before coming around to score. With that, the first baseman delivered his first multi-hit performance since June 13. The 30-year-old has been out of the lineup in five of the club's last eight games, losing playing time at first base to Wilmer Flores. Smith appeared in 19 games in June after signing a one-year contract with San Francisco on June 4, slashing .281/.368/.404 with eight RBI, six runs scored, four doubles, one home run and one stolen base across 68 plate appearances.
