Gonzales is dealing with right plantar fasciitis and will be required to spend 2-4 weeks in a walking boot, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

Gonzales was transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday and will be shut down for several weeks after visiting with a foot and ankle specialist. While the right-hander was initially believed to be dealing with heel soreness, he'll likely be kept out of game action until at least late July or early August following his new diagnosis.

Donovan isn't starting Wednesday's game against Milwaukee, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Donovan will get a day off after he went 3-for-18 with three runs, two walks and seven strikeouts over the last four games. Nolan Gorman is starting at second base while Albert Pujols enters the lineup at first.

Torres is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

With Isiah Kiner-Falefa (hamstring) back in the lineup after a three-game absence to bring the New York infield back to full strength, Torres will head to the bench. Even though Torres is without a direct path to an everyday role at second base or shortstop, the Yankees should be able to carve out at least a handful of starts per week for him by rotating rest days among their regulars.

Chavis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Yu Chang will draw the start at first base after Chavis had been included in the Pittsburgh lineup for each of the past six contests. During that stretch, Chavis managed only two hits in 19 at-bats, but thanks to drawing five walks, he produced a .292 on-base average.

Castro (calf) is starting Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

Castro didn't appear in the last two games due to calf tightness, but he'll start at the hot corner and bat fifth Wednesday. He went 0-for-13 with two runs and two strikeouts over his last four games.

Mendick is dealing with right knee discomfort after leaving Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Mendick is being further evaluated following his collision in the top of the second inning, but he's dealing with a knee issue. A better idea of his status ahead of Thursday's series opener against the Orioles should be revealed once he undergoes further testing.

Mendick was removed from Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays in the top of the second inning due to an apparent right leg injury, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

The 28-year-old collided with Adam Haseley while chasing down a foul ball and was unable to put any weight on his right leg as he was helped off the field. Mendick had crossed the plate in each of the 10 games leading up to Wednesday's matchup, and he slashed .275/.356/.500 with two homers, a triple, a double, 12 runs, eight RBI and a stolen base during that time. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Thursday's series opener against Baltimore.

Marte isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Padres, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Marte returned to the lineup Tuesday against San Diego and went 0-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts. He'll get a breather while Jake Hager starts at the keystone and bats eighth.

McNeil (hamstring) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

McNeil left Monday's game against the Marlins due to right hamstring tightness and will be held out of the lineup for a second consecutive game. However, manager Buck Showalter said Wednesday that he expects McNeil to return to the lineup Friday or Saturday against the Marlins, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. Pete Alonso will serve as the designated hitter while Dominic Smith starts at first base.

Rodgers went 1-for-4 with a walk, a double, two RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Marlins.

Rodgers made his lone hit count, smacking a two-run double to right field in the third inning. He surprisingly struggled through the recent six-game homestand by collecting only two hits across 24 at-bats. However, he was able to get back on track on the road Tuesday and brought his RBI total on the season to 31.
