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.

Rivas will start at second base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Angels.

Rivas will pick up his third straight start at second base and looks like he'll get a trial in an everyday role after Dylan Moore (hip) recently joined Ryan Bliss (biceps) on the injured list. Though Moore is expected to spend the minimum 10 days on the shelf, he could be deployed more frequently at third base or in right field if the Mariners want to keep regular playing time available for Rivas. Since getting called up from Triple-A Tacoma on April 9, Rivas is hitting .308 with three stolen bases and an impressive 9:6 BB:K over 35 plate appearances.

Julien is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Cleveland.

It marks the first time since April 7 that Julien is not in the lineup against a right-hander. Kody Clemens will be at second base and Mickey Gasper will handle designated-hitter duties Wednesday as the Twins take on righty Luis. L. Ortiz.

Farmer is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Though the Rockies remain without Ezequiel Tovar (hip), Thairo Estrada (wrist), Aaron Schunk (groin) and Tyler Freeman (oblique) in the middle infield, Farmer no longer looks to be in the mix for regular playing time at second base or shortstop. He'll be on the bench for the fourth time in seven games, with the Rockies prioritizing Adael Amador ahead of him at the keystone and Alan Trejo at shortstop.

Moore (hip) said Tuesday that he expects to return from the 10-day injured list when first eligible May 7, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

He first tweaked his hip/adductor last week and was given an MRI over the weekend, which showed that the injury is "not even a Grade 1 strain," per Moore. However, the Mariners decided to exercise caution and put the super-utility player on the IL. It's unclear whether Moore will need a rehab assignment.
