Gorman is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Cincinnati.

The left-handed-hitting Gorman is in a 1-for-17 funk at the plate and the Reds are starting southpaw Andrew Abbott, so Gorman will sit out Thursday's series finale. Luken Baker is at designated hitter and batting sixth.

Tawa batted leadoff and went 0-for-5 in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Mets.

Tawa typically occupies the ninth spot in the order against pitchers of either hand. Against lefties, Corbin Carroll is dropped to second and Geraldo Perdomo leads off, but Perdomo was getting a rest day Wednesday, prompting Tawa's promotion. Once Ketel Marte (hamstring) returns from the 10-day injured list, he'll be the default leadoff batter against southpaws. Tawa is batting .182 (10-for-55) with a .728 OPS (six extra-base hits) over 18 games.

Keith went 1-for-2 with a walk, a two-run home run and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 7-4 victory over the Astros.

Keith has seen his playing time dip recently, as this was just his fourth start over Detroit's last eight contests, though he did start all three games of the series against Houston. The second-inning home run was the first of the season for the 23-year-old, who is still batting just .181. Keith may have to get on a hot streak soon to hold onto anything close to an everyday role.

Turang was scratched from the Brewers' lineup against the White Sox on Wednesday due to an illness.

Isaac Collins will get the start at second base and bat in the leadoff spot while Turang, who has gone 13-for-40 (.325) with three stolen bases, eight runs and five RBI over his last 10 games, will get a day off to recover from the ailment.

Edman did not play in Wednesday's 12-7 win over the Marlins due to a right ankle injury, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

Edman said after Wednesday's game that he tweaked his right ankle during Tuesday's win against Miami. Edman will have two days of rest heading into the Dodgers' weekend matchup against Atlanta and could be available for Friday's series opener. He is slashing .252/.295/.523 with two stolen bases, 19 runs scored, eight home runs and 24 RBI in 122 plate appearances this season.

Massey is not in the Royals' starting lineup against the Rays on Wednesday.

Even though the Rays are sending right-hander Drew Rasmussen to the mound, the lefty-hitting Massey will begin Wednesday's game in the dugout while Cavan Biggio starts at second base and bats eighth. Massey has struggled to start the season, slashing .188/.206/.219 with four runs scored and nine RBI in 103 plate appearances.

Garcia is not in the Nationals' starting lineup against the Phillies on Wednesday.

Garcia has been in the Nationals' starting nine against lefties a few times this season, but he'll begin Wednesday's game in the dugout while Amed Rosario starts at the keystone and bats in the leadoff spot against Phillies southpaw Cristopher Sanchez. Garcia has recorded at least one hit in five of his last six games, and over that span he has gone 7-for-21 with one stolen base, two runs scored and a solo homer.

Frazier is not in the Pirates' starting lineup against the Cubs on Wednesday.

The Cubs are sending a southpaw for a second straight game, so Frazier will retreat to the dugout while Jared Triolo starts at second base and bats eighth against Matthew Boyd. Frazier is in the midst of an 11-game hitting streak, going 12-for-33 (.364) with three stolen bases, five runs scored and two RBI over that span.

Chisholm said Wednesday that he's feeling better, but the Yankees still plan to have him undergo an MRI on his right oblique Thursday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

As expected, Chisholm is out of the lineup for Wednesday's series finale versus the Orioles, but he remains with the team in Baltimore and won't get examined until the Yankees return to New York for their off day Thursday. Though Chisholm has downplayed the injury since exiting Tuesday's 15-2 win, manager Aaron Boone said that the 27-year-old infielder is still sore, and the team will let the MRI determine his next steps. Pablo Reyes will fill in for Chisholm at second base Wednesday.

Schneemann will start at second base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Twins.

At least temporarily, Schneemann seems to have supplanted the struggling Brayan Rocchio for a regular spot in Cleveland's middle infield. For the second straight day, Rocchio finds himself on the bench against a right-handed starting pitcher (Pablo Lopez), while Schneemann has now been included in the lineup in five of the last six matchups with righties. According to Chris Assenheimer of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram, manager Stephen Vogt implied the hotter bat is Schneemann, who is slashing .379/.419/.586 dating back to April 13.
