Arraez (knee) isn't starting Wednesday against the Brewers but was cleared of a serious injury after undergoing imaging, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

The 23-year-old exited Tuesday's win over the Brewers after aggravating the left knee injury, but it appears he'll avoid a trip to the injured list. Arraez should be considered day-to-day until the team further updates his status.

Rodgers was recalled from Colorado's alternate camp site Wednesday.

Rodgers is set to join the Rockies for the first time all season after failing to break camp with the team. The prospect struggled in his big-league debut in 2019, slashing .224/.272/.250 with 27 strikeouts in 25 games, though he hit .350/.413/.622 across 37 games at Triple-A prior to his promotion. He'll replace David Dahl -- who was sent to the injured list with lower-back soreness -- on the active roster. Rodgers should provide the Rockies with infield depth during his time in the majors.

Haggerty (hip) was recalled from the Mariners' alternate training site Wednesday.

Haggerty suffered a hip injury at the end of camp, but he's apparently fully recovered and will join the 28-man roster. The utility man was claimed off waivers by the Mariners during the offseason and has just four major-league at-bats on his ledger.

Hoerner is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Hoerner started Game 1 at third base and went 0-for-2 with one strikeout in the seven-inning loss. David Bote will start at the hot corner in place of Kris Bryant (wrist) in the nightcap.

Andrus (back) isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Padres.

Andrus will be sidelined for a third consecutive game as he continues to deal with a stiff lower back. The Rangers appear to be trying to avoid placing him on the injured list, but the team doesn't have much depth at shortstop. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will take over at shortstop Wednesday.

McNeil is not starting Wednesday against the Marlins.

McNeil -- who returned from a minor knee injury earlier in the week -- will head to the bench Wednesday after starting the past two games and going 1-for-8 with an RBI. In his absence, the Mets are going with an outfield of Dominic Smith, Brandon Nimmo and Michael Conforto from left to right.

Dubon is not starting Wednesday against the Angels, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Dubon will sit for a second straight game as the Giants go with an outfield consisting of Darin Ruf, Mike Yastrzemski and Hunter Pence from left to right. Through 22 games this season, Dubon is slashing .267/.286/.333 with one home run and two steals.

Castro was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain Wednesday.

Castro left Tuesday's game against the White Sox with the injury, which is evidently serious enough to keep him out for at least 10 days. Whether or not he'll need more time beyond that remains to be seen. He filled just a part-time role during his time with the team, so his absence won't shake up the Tigers' depth chart very much.

Arroyo was activated from the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Arroyo's placement on the injured list seemed to be purely a procedural one, as he was still going through intake testing after getting claimed off waivers from Cleveland on Thursday. With a career .215/.280/.342 slash line over 71 major-league games, he's likely to be stuck in a bench role in Boston.

Drury will start at second base and will bat sixth Wednesday against the Orioles.

He'll be filling in at the keystone for Cavan Biggio, who receives his first day off of the season. While Drury likely won't be a serious threat to poach additional starts from Biggio, the 27-year-old's versatility along with the absence of everyday shortstop Bo Bichette (knee) has his playing time on the upswing. Drury is making his fourth start in five games, drawing assignments at three different positions during that stretch.
