Dubon is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Brendan Rodgers will get the nod at second base Wednesday, but Dubon may have inched ahead of him on the depth chart. Dubon has started at the keystone in four of the last seven games, with Rodgers drawing two starts and Jose Altuve getting one during that stretch. Though the playing time has been tilting in his favor of late, Dubon still has some work to do before solidifying himself as an everyday player; he's slashing just .209/.261/.256 over 47 plate appearances on the season.

The Royals optioned Loftin to Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday.

Loftin was recalled this past weekend and didn't see any action during his brief time with the big club. He will return to a regular role with Omaha.

The Reds recalled Callihan from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday. He'll start in left field and bat ninth in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Cardinals.

He'll join the 26-man active roster as a replacement for corner infielder Jeimer Candelario (spine), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. The 24-year-old had gotten off to a nice start to the season at Louisville, slashing .303/.410/.528 with four home runs and six stolen bases over 106 plate appearances. Callihan is capable of playing three infield spots as well as left field, but his left-handedness could work against him in earning meaningful playing time, as he won't represent a viable platoon mate for fellow lefty hitters Jake Fraley and Gavin Lux.

Acuna went 2-for-4 with a steal and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Acuna notched his second straight multi-hit game Tuesday with singles in the second and third innings, and he came around to score both times. He added his seventh steal of the season and is far and away the Mets' leading base stealer. The 23-year-old has held his own through the first month of the season, hitting .300/.355/.371 with five extra-base hits, three RBI, 13 runs and a 6:14 BB:K in 76 plate appearances.

Semien went 3-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 15-2 win over the Athletics.

Semien, who hit safely for a fourth straight game, was one of three Texas batters to log three hits, as the team's struggling offense busted out Tuesday. Since dropping to the fifth spot in the batting order, Semien is 8-for-29 (.276) with a home run, seven RBI and three runs scored. That's a positive sign for the second baseman, who has a career-low .493 OPS through 29 games.

Campbell went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and two RBI in Tuesday's win over the Blue Jays.

Campbell began his day with a solo blast to right field in the second inning and capped it off with an RBI double in the ninth. He's gotten a hit in four straight games, including multiple hits in each of his last three while getting on base a total of 11 times. Campbell now has four homers on the year and leads all American League second basemen with a .420 on-base percentage through 119 plate appearances.

Torres went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Astros. He also stole a base.

Torres recorded his third home run and fourth stolen base of the season, and it was the first time this year that he had one of each in the same game. The infielder has been a steady performer in his first season with the Tigers, as he's now batting .292 with a .794 OPS across 18 appearances.

The Reds plan to recall Callihan from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

After starting the Triple-A season with a .303/.410/.528 slash line alongside four homers, 12 RBI, 19 runs scored and six stolen bases through 106 plate appearances, Callihan will join the big-league club to provide Cincinnati with some depth at second base and left field. With Jeimer Candelario (back) and Austin Hays (hamstring) both currently dealing with injuries, Callihan's impending promotion seemingly indicates a move to the IL for at least one of the two players.

Chisholm will undergo testing on his right oblique Thursday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

The Yankees' decision to wait until their day off Thursday to evaluate Chisholm means he will not play in Wednesday's series finale in Baltimore. Chisholm could end up missing even more time, as manager Aaron Boone said after Tuesday's game that there's a chance that the second baseman ends up on the injured list. Chisholm, on the other hand, said he feels fine, though the final decision will likely come down to the results of his tests. Pablo Reyes is the favorite to pick up starts at the keystone for any time that Chisholm might miss.

The Padres placed McCoy on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a sprained finger on his left hand.

McCoy is 0-for-5 with three strikeouts since being recalled from Triple-A on April 21, and he'll now need to wait at least 10 days before getting another chance to record his first big-league hit of the season. Luis Arraez (concussion) will return from the injured list Tuesday to make up for the loss of McCoy in San Diego's infield.
