Steer was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox due to a hand injury, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Earlier Wednesday, the Reds and Red Sox resumed their game from Tuesday that was suspended in the top of the fourth inning. Though Steer was able to play the entire game and finished 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, he experienced swelling on his hand after being hit by a pitch in the seventh inning. The Reds initially included him in the lineup for the nightcap, but Steer will end up sitting while Christian Encarnacion-Strand enters the lineup at first base. With the Reds off Thursday, Steer could be back in the lineup for Friday's series opener against the Phillies.

Naylor (neck) will start as Arizona's designated hitter and bat fourth Wednesday against the Giants, SI.com reports.

Naylor was scratched from Tuesday's lineup due to lingering neck soreness to miss a fourth straight game, but he'll now make his return to the starting nine following a four-game absence. The 28-year-old first baseman found quite a bit of success in June, slashing .311/.366/.486 with three homers, 16 RBI and 12 runs scored across 82 plate appearances last month.

Encarnacion-Strand is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Boston after fouling a ball off the top of his foot earlier in the day, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

The Reds and Red Sox resumed Tuesday's suspended game earlier Wednesday, and Encarnacion-Strand was removed in the bottom of the eighth after getting hurt in his at-bat in the previous half inning. Manager Terry Francona didn't disclose whether Encarnacion-Strand underwent X-rays following his removal from the contest. With Encarnacion-Strand on the bench for the second game of the day, the Reds will turn to Santiago Espinal to cover third base.

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.

The Rangers reinstated Burger (oblique) from the 10-day injured list. He'll start at designated hitter and bat seventh Wednesday against the Orioles.

Burger began a rehab assignment Tuesday with Double-A Frisco and 1-for-3 with a walk while playing seven innings at first base, and the Rangers evidently came away convinced that the 29-year-old was healthy enough to rejoin the big club. Since he was on the shelf for only about a week and a half due to the left oblique strain, Burger should be ready to reclaim an everyday role right away for the Rangers. Though he'll be used at DH in his first game back from the IL, Burger could end up settling in at first base if the Rangers elect to move super-utility man Josh Smith over to third base as a replacement for the struggling Josh Jung, who was demoted to Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday.

France is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

France has served as the Twins' everyday first baseman throughout the season, but his stranglehold on that role could be slipping a bit. He'll hit the bench for the second time in the five games while he's slashed just .185/.241/.315 over a stretch of 14 contests dating back to June 14. Kody Clemens will step in for France at first base and will bat eighth.

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.

Mead is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Mead had made three starts at three different infield spots over each of the last three games, but he'll hit the bench Wednesday while Jonathan Aranda plays first base, Brandon Lowe covers second and Junior Caminero handles third. Those three players will be the primary starters at those positions against right-handed pitching, though Mead will likely replace one of the three in the lineup when the Rays face lefties.

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.
