  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Getting night off against lefty

    Turang is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

    The lefty-hitting Turang will retreat to the bench for the second time in three games while Atlanta sends a lefty (Chris Sale) to the bump. Andruw Monasterio will replace Turang at second base.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Sitting against left-hander

    Garcia is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

    The left-handed-hitting Garcia has been scorching hot lately, but with lefty Blake Snell on the bump for the Giants, Garcia will begin the contest on the bench. Ildemaro Vargas will take over at second base and bat fifth.

  • Vidal Brujan 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Vidal Brujan: Absent from Wednesday's lineup

    Brujan is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

    Brujan has now been out of the lineup each of the last three times the Marlins have faced a left-hander. He's started just two games in center field and five of 12 overall since Jazz Chisholm was traded to the Yankees on July 27. Cristian Pache will draw the start in center field Wednesday.

  • Nick Gonzales 2B | PIT

    Pirates' Nick Gonzales: Slated for rehab games next week

    Gonzales (groin) will join Triple-A Indianapolis later this week before beginning a rehab assignment next week, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    Gonzales landed on the 10-day injured list in late July with a left groin strain but is almost ready for game action. Since he's been out of commission for less than two weeks, the infielder shouldn't need an extended rehab assignment being activated. Gonzales isn't a given to regain his spot at the top of the Pirates' depth chart at second base after the club acquired Isiah Kiner-Falefa at the trade deadline.

  • Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Steals base, scores twice in win

    Hoerner went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Twins. He also stole a base.

    Hoerner reached 20 stolen bases in a season for the third straight year as he continued his strong recent play. Over his last 10 games, the infielder is batting .302, and he's swiped six bases in that span. Hoerner isn't a huge power threat with just four home runs on the season, but he can be an effective fantasy asset when he's reaching base and running often.

  • Bryson Stott 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryson Stott: Idle against LHP

    Stott isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

    The left-handed bat of Stott will step out of the lineup Tuesday as the Phillies face southpaw Clayton Kershaw. Edmundo Sosa will step in to cover second base while batting ninth.

  • Gavin Lux 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Gavin Lux: Not starting against lefty

    Lux isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Tuesday's game against Philadelphia.

    Lux will take a seat Tuesday as the Dodgers prepare to face left-hander Cristopher Sanchez and the Phillies. Amed Rosario will fill in at second base and bat fifth.

  • Jeff McNeil 2B | NYM

    Mets' Jeff McNeil: Resting against southpaw

    McNeil isn't in the Mets' lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Rockies.

    With lefty Kyle Freeland slated to throw the first pitch for Colorado, the lefty-hitting McNeil will step out of the lineup Tuesday. Jose Iglesias will fill in at the keystone and bat sixth.

  • Vidal Brujan 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Vidal Brujan: On bench Tuesday

    Brujan is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

    Brujan drew the start in center field Monday -- a position he could see regular work at moving forward -- but he'll take a seat Tuesday in favor of Cristian Pache. The pair are likely to share center field duties, but Derek Hill could mix in at the position.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Busy on basepaths again

    Garcia went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's loss to the Giants.

    The 24-year-old second baseman came into 2024 with just 13 career stolen bases in the majors, but Monday's pilfer was his 18th in 21 attempts this season. Garcia's on pace for career highs nearly across the board in a breakout campaign, slashing .290/.324/.459 through 97 games with 13 homers, 40 runs and 53 RBI, and he's been blazing hot of late -- over his last 24 games, he boasts a .395/.435/.686 slash line with six long balls and seven steals.
