Rojas started in right field and went 0-for-4 in Wednesday's 12-3 loss to the Padres.

The Diamondbacks placed Kole Calhoun (hamstring) on the injured list Wednesday and will need fill-ins for the next 10 days at minimum. That means Rojas, who made a leaping catch against the fence to rob Fernando Tatis of a home run, could be part of the outfield rotation in the near term. He'll split time with Pavin Smith as well as Daulton Varsho, who was summoned from the alternate camp Wednesday to help fill out an outfield missing Calhoun, Ketel Marte (hamstring) and Tim Locastro (finger).

Polanco went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored during Wednesday's 10-2 win at Cleveland.

The 27-year-old received his first off day of the season Tuesday and rejoined the lineup Wednesday with his first homer of 2021. Polanco has a .193/.258/.265 slash line with three doubles, two stolen bases, 10 RBI and 11 runs scored through 22 games.

Haggerty is starting at second base and batting sixth Wednesday in Houston. He has now started five of the last six games.

Dylan Moore is slumping, and meanwhile, Haggerty is hitting .429 with one home run, two steals and a 4:3 K:BB over his last six games (14 at-bats). It appears Seattle is going to play the hot hand at the keystone, and right now that's Haggerty, whose speed makes him noteworthy in deeper roto leagues.

Rosario went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored during Wednesday's 10-2 loss to Minnesota.

The 25-year-old delivered two extra-base hits and scored both of Cleveland's runs Wednesday, as the rest of the offense managed only three singles and one walk. Rosario is seeing most of his playing time in center field and has a .175/.257/.302 slash line with two home runs, two doubles four RBI and nine runs in 21 games this season.

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

Vimael Machin checks in at shortstop for Andrus, who heads to the bench for the first time this season. Though he showed some improvement at the plate during the Athletics' recent 13-game winning streak, Andrus is still sitting on a career-worst .152/.207/.190 slash line through 87 plate appearances.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

The Rays have been facing a slew of left-handed starters of late, but it hasn't routinely cost Lowe playing time. With southpaw Cole Irvin on the hill for Oakland on Wednesday, Lowe will be sitting for only the second time in the last week and a half. That said, Lowe's productivity has taken a hit due to the lefty-heavy schedule. Lowe has gone 4-for-34 while striking out in 27 percent of his plate appearances over his past eight games.

India isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

India will take a seat for a second straight game after he went hitless with three strikeouts in his last five at-bats. Kyle Farmer will start at second base and bat eighth.

Diaz was recalled by the Marlins and is starting Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

Diaz was in contention for the starting role at second base during spring training but lost out on the job to Jazz Chisholm. However, he'll now join the major-league roster after Chisholm was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain Wednesday. Diaz is playing second base and batting seventh in Wednesday's series finale against Milwaukee and could be the favorite for playing time at second base in Chisholm's absence. Jose Devers could also see a slight uptick in playing time while Chisholm is sidelined.

Gimenez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Joe Noga of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

With southpaw J.A. Happ on the hill for Minnesota and a team off day coming Thursday, Cleveland manager Terry Francona determined that Wednesday was a good opportunity to give Gimenez a breather. The young shortstop had started each of the past six games, going 2-for-18 to drop his season average to .192.

Arraez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Cleveland.

With southpaw Logan Allen on the bump for Cleveland, the lefty-hitting Arraez will take a seat in what amounts to his second day off of the season. Byron Buxton will assume leadoff duties in place of Arraez, who is slashing .284/.372/.351 with one home run, 10 runs and nine RBI across 86 plate appearances on the campaign.
