Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Wednesday that Gonzales is considered day-to-day with heel discomfort, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Gonzales exited Tuesday's game at Double-A Altoona, but his injury doesn't appear to be particularly concerning. Over 25 games in May, the 23-year-old hit .266 with two homers, five doubles, 16 runs, nine RBI and a stolen base.

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

Urias started the past 10 games at shortstop with Willy Adames (ankle) sidelined, and he'll take a seat Wednesday after posting a .575 OPS during that stretch. Mike Brosseau will man shortstop on Wednesday while Jace Peterson starts at third base.

Stott was added to the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

The 24-year-old has been out of the lineup in each of the last four games, but he'll be a late addition to Wednesday's lineup after Bryce Harper (forearm) was scratched. Stott is starting at shortstop and batting ninth.

Estrada isn't starting Wednesday against Philadelphia, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Estrada went 4-for-9 with a double, two runs and a strikeout over his last two games, but he'll be out of the lineup for the second time in the last three matchups. Donovan Walton will start at the keystone and bat eighth.

Arraez isn't starting Wednesday against the Tigers.

Arraez snapped an 11-game hitting streak when he went 0-for-4 in Tuesday's nightcap, and he'll get a day off Wednesday. Jose Miranda is starting at first base and batting sixth.

Hernandez will sit out Wednesday's series finale versus the Reds, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

Hernandez will get a breather after starting 23 consecutive games, a span in which he produced a .216 average with 10 extra-base hits, 11 RBI and 15 runs. Franchy Cordero will slide over to right field while Bobby Dalbec gets the start at first base and bats ninth.

Rengifo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Yankees.

The Angels didn't put up much of a fight in the loss, with Rengifo's seventh-inning solo shot accounting for the team's only run. The long ball was Rengifo's second of the campaign and extended his modest hitting streak to six games. Over that stretch, he's slashing .308/.308/.500 with five runs and three RBI.

Andrus went 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run in a loss to the Astros on Tuesday.

The Athletics continue to produce mostly meager offensive numbers as a whole, but Andrus is one of several Oakland hitters trending in the right direction individually of late. The veteran shortstop is now hitting .333 with four doubles, two home runs, five RBI, a stolen base and seven runs in his last nine games.

Kemp went 2-for-4 with a double and a walk in a loss to the Astros on Tuesday.

The veteran leadoff man continued to wield a red-hot bat with a second consecutive two-hit tally and his fourth multi-hit effort in the last seven games overall. Kemp has gone 10-for-22 over the entirety of that span to quickly raise his season average 34 points to .244, although it bears noting Tuesday's two-bagger serves as his only extra-base hit in the otherwise product sample.

The Nationals recalled Garcia from Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday. He'll start at shortstop and bat seventh in Washington's series finale with the Mets.

Since Washington placed Alcides Escobar (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move, Garcia could be in line to step in as the team's primary shortstop, with Dee Strange-Gordon representing more of a utility option than a legitimate threat for an everyday role at this stage of his career. A poor spring kept him from making the Opening Day roster, but the 22-year-old has hit his stride at the dish through the first two months of the season at Triple-A. Over 193 plate appearances with Rochester, Garcia slashed .314/.368/.531 with eight home runs and a stolen base.
