Tellez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

The left-handed-hitting Tellez will retreat to the bench for the second time in the series while the Rangers face another left-handed starter (Carlos Rodon). Tellez had started at first base in each of Texas' previous five matchups against right-handers, but he could see his opportunities to play versus opposite-handed pitching dwindle once Josh Jung is ready to play third base after a recent bout with a calf injury. Josh Smith will cover third base Wednesday while Jung serves as a designated hitter for his second start in a row, but Smith is likely to eventually move back across the diamond.

Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

Goldschmidt will get a breather after he went 3-for-8 with a solo home run, a double and three runs while picking up starts in the first two games of the series. Since the All-Star break, Goldschmidt is slashing just .224/.269/.347, and his struggles against right-handing pitching in particular throughout the season (66 wRC+ over 301 plate appearances) could eventually put him in danger of fading into a quasi-platoon with the left-handed-hitting Ben Rice, who will cover first base and bat second Wednesday.

Horwitz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

After starting in Pittsburgh's last three games, the left-handed-hitting Horwitz will head to the bench for the series finale while the Giants send southpaw Robbie Ray to the hill. Liover Peguero will spell Horwitz at first base and atop the batting order Wednesday.

Smith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Wilmer Flores (hamstring) is still nursing an injury and will remain on the bench for a fifth straight game, but because the Pirates are sending a lefty (Andrew Heaney) to the hill, the left-handed-hitting Smith will exit the starting nine. Smith had been included in the lineup in each of the past four games as a replacement for Flores, going 4-for-18 with a home run, five RBI and three runs.

Kurtz went 3-for-4 with a double, two walks and four runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

In a game in which the Athletics scored 16 runs, Kurtz was unable to drive anyone in despite a productive night at the dish. He did touch home plate four times, however. At just 22 years old, Kurtz has adapted to big-league pitching remarkably well and is hitting .486/.560/1.000 with eight homers, 21 RBI, 24 runs and two steals in 19 games since July 11.

Guerrero went 3-for-5 with a double, a solo home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 10-4 win over Colorado.

Guerrero notched his seventh three-hit game of the season Tuesday, highlighted by a beautiful opposite-field homer in the sixth inning. While his 2025 slugging percentage (.471) lags behind last year's .544 mark, the 26-year-old remains incredibly productive with 25 doubles, 17 home runs, 60 RBI and an .866 OPS through 113 games.

Contreras went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 12-6 loss to the Dodgers.

Contreras picked up his first multi-hit effort since July 25 versus the Padres. He's homered twice while going 5-for-17 over five games to begin August. The first baseman is now at a .258/.343/.451 slash line with 16 homers, 64 RBI, 57 runs scored, 29 doubles and four stolen bases through 109 contests this season as one of the steadier bats in the Cardinals' lineup.

Naylor went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk, two stolen bases and three total runs scored in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the White Sox.

Naylor continues to be efficient on the basepaths -- he's up to eight steals in 11 games with the Mariners. His homer Tuesday was his second in that span, and he's now 10-for-41 (.244) with his new team. Overall, the first baseman is at a .287/.355/.444 slash line, 13 homers, 19 steals, 63 RBI and 56 runs scored through 104 contests between Seattle and Arizona. He's typically displayed good contact skills, so he should hit more consistently as he continues to settle in.

Steer went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Cubs.

Steer lifted his 13th homer of the year, and the four RBI matched his season-high output. The 27-year-old has a mediocre .697 OPS for the year, but he remains the Reds' top option at first base. Steer should also continue to see a boost in fantasy appeal at home -- he owns a .757 OPS at hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park as opposed to a .633 OPS on the road in 2025.

Tellez went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Yankees.

With a go-ahead two-run single in the eighth inning, Tellez recorded his most RBI since July 19 versus the Tigers. The veteran slugger should continue to see a boost in playing time while Jake Burger (quad) remains sidelined, and the former is at least pushing for additional at-bats in his own right. Through 30 at-bats (13 games) since joining Texas, Tellez is hitting .300 with one home run, three doubles and seven RBI.
