Hiura is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants.

Hiura will take a seat for the series finale after starting at first base and going 1-for-5 with an RBI in the Rockies' first two matchups with the Giants. Orlando Arcia will fill in for Hiura at first base Thursday.

Schmitt will start at third base and bat seventh in Thursday's game against the Rockies.

Schmitt will stick in the lineup for a fourth straight game and will be making his third consecutive start at the hot corner. He looks poised to operate as the Giants' primary option at third base until Matt Chapman (hand) is cleared to return from the injured list.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Freeman is in Wednesday's lineup in San Diego in spite of a quad injury suffered Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The injury likely means Freeman will be running at less than 100 percent, but "he's managing it," per Roberts. Freeman has played in every game since April 11 for the Dodgers, starting all but two contests over that span. Unless the injury gets worse, it sounds like Freeman will continue trying to play through it.

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

Busch went 3-for-17 with a pair of home runs while starting in each of the Cubs' last four games, but as per usual, he'll take a seat with a lefty (Jesus Luzardo) starting for the opposition. Justin Turner will spell Busch at first base.

Encarnacion-Strand started at third base and went 0-for-4 in Tuesday's 1-0 win over Cleveland.

This was the first time in five games that Encarnacion-Strand failed to reach base safely since coming off the IL; he'd gone 8-for-17 with a double, three home runs and seven RBI over the first four contests. This marked the third time in those five games that he's started at third base. Reds manager Terry Francona needs to find time for both Encarnacion-Strand and Spencer Steer, and it appears Santiago Espinal's regular run at third base has ended.

Busch went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Phillies.

Busch took Mick Abel deep to center in the fourth to push the Cubs in front 3-2. Busch now has four homers in nine games during June and has at least a hit in 11 of his last 12 games, slashing .325/.400/.725 over that span. Despite being hot at the plate, Busch has not received many plate appearances versus left-handed pitching and may find himself on the bench the next two days with the Cubs set to face Jesus Luzardo and Andrew Heaney.

Schmitt went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Rockies.

Schmitt's solo homer in the top of the ninth ignited a four-run rally that propelled the Giants to a comeback win Tuesday. The infielder had struggled immensely over his previous 10 games, slashing .136/.269/.136 with no extra-base hits or RBI. On the year, Schmitt is batting .204/.295/.315 with four extra-base hits and four RBI in 62 plate appearances.

Arraez went 3-for-5 with two doubles, one RBI and four runs scored in Tuesday's 11-1 win over the Dodgers.

Arraez hasn't found any over-the-fence power in June, but he's gone 11-for-42 (.262) with five doubles across 10 games this month. He did his part to get on base frequently Tuesday, and Manny Machado benefited, knocking in Arraez three times in a five-RBI effort. Arraez is at a .281/.314/.405 slash line with three home runs, 15 doubles, three triples, 25 RBI, 31 runs scored and three stolen bases over 60 games this season. He continues to switch between first base and designated hitter, sharing both positions with Gavin Sheets.

Lowe went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's extra-inning loss to the Mets.

Lowe extended his hit streak to four games and snapped a 19-game homerless drought when he clubbed a first-inning homer off Griffin Canning. The long ball was Lowe's ninth of the year, and he's slashing .230/.293/.381 with 41 RBI and 22 runs scored over 276 plate appearances.

The Nationals recalled Chaparro from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.

Chaparro was sidelined for the first two months of the season with a strained oblique, but he's earned a promotion after batting .304 with five home runs in 15 games with Rochester. The 26-year-old could see regular playing time against left-handed pitching.
