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.

Turner started at first base in his Mariners debut Tuesday, going 1-for-5 with a run-scoring single and an RBI groundout during a 10-6 win over the Red Sox.

Acquired via trade from the Blue Jays a day earlier, Turner wasted no time making his mark in a Mariners uniform and simultaneously doing damage against one of his old clubs. The 39-year-old has been of baseball's steadier hitters over the last decade-plus, and after atypically struggling most of the season, he's now hitting a blistering .500 (14-for-28) over his last seven games dating back to July 23, a surge that's raised his average and OPS by 28 and 52 points, respectively.

The Rays optioned Shenton to Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Shenton was up in the majors for one day and didn't see any action. He'll head to Durham to clear room on the 26-man active roster for Dylan Carlson, who was acquired Tuesday via trade from the Cardinals.

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

The left-handed-hitting Rice will take a seat for the series finale while the Phillies send southpaw Cristopher Sanchez to the bump. Rice will put a four-game hitting streak on hold and give way to DJ LeMahieu at first base.

Casas (ribs) started at designated hitter and went 0-for-3 with a walk for Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday.

This was the first rehab game for Casas, who batted second and was removed after seven innings. The Red Sox will want to see Casas play the field and in back-to-back games before returning him to the majors. He could potentially be activated off the injured list early in August.

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.
