Marte started at second base and went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, four RBI and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 14-4 win over Texas.

This was Marte's first game in the field since returning from an ankle injury last week. He served as the designated hitter his first three games back and was hitless over 11 at-bats before breaking out Wednesday. He led off the bottom of the first inning with a double and scored Arizona's first run, then his three-run homer in the fourth upped the Diamondbacks' lead to 8-2. Marte has 31 home runs -- one shy of the career high he set in 2019 -- and 85 RBI through 120 games.

Holliday went 0-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-3 extra-inning loss to the Red Sox.

Holliday is up to four steals this season, all of which he's accumulated over his last 14 games. In that span, he's batting just .167 (8-for-48) with 17 strikeouts, but he's still seeing the bulk of the playing time at second base due to a plethora of injuries in the Baltimore infield. The 20-year-old is at a .173/.227/.304 slash line with five home runs, 21 RBI, 25 runs scored, three doubles and two triples through 49 contests.

Altuve was removed from Wednesday's game against Oakland with right side discomfort, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Altuve seemed to be in a bit of pain after taking a swing in the fifth inning of Wednesday's contest. After being checked out by a trainer, he remained in the game to finish his at-bat but then immediately went into the clubhouse and was replaced at second base to begin the sixth. Manager Joe Espada said after the game that he doesn't believe Altuve's injury to be anything serious, and the veteran infielder is considered day-to-day for now. Should he need an extra day to recover, Mauricio Dubon would likely pick up a start at the keystone.

Drury was removed from Wednesday's game against the Twins due to left hamstring tightness.

It wasn't immediately clear when Drury suffered the injury, but his hamstring was apparently bothering him enough to warrant his removal in the fifth inning. The Angels' scheduled off day Thursday will give him an extra day to rest, but Michael Stefanic could be in line for a start at second base if Drury's absence extends into Friday.

Lux isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

The Dodgers will match up against left-hander Jordan Wicks on Wednesday, meaning the left-handed-hitting Lux will sit down for the second game in a row. Chris Taylor will fill in at the keystone and bat ninth.

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

Farmer drew a rare start against a right-hander (Griffin Canning) in Tuesday's 10-5 win and came through with a big night, going 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, three RBI and an additional run. Though the home run was his second in as many days and helped bring his OPS up to 1.471 in September, Farmer looks like he'll remain in a short-side platoon role for the Twins.

Stefanic is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Stefanic will head to the bench after he went 1-for-9 with a walk, a run and an RBI while starting in each of the Angels' previous three games. With Anthony Rendon (oblique) recently landing on the injured list, Stefanic should have a chance at seeing steadier playing time in the Anaheim infield over the final two and a half weeks of the season.

Lowe (finger) will serve as the Rays' designated hitter and No. 2 batter in Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Lowe makes his return to the lineup after he didn't start in any of the Rays' past five games while he contended with ligament inflammation on both sides of his middle finger. He made pinch-hitting appearances in both of the first two games of the series and even saw some action at second base Monday, but the Rays aren't quite ready to let him play a full game in the field just yet. Lowe will be eased back in as the Rays' designated hitter, but it shouldn't be long before he resumes playing the keystone regularly.

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

Garcia will be joined on the bench by fellow left-handed hitter Joel Gallo as the Nationals stock up on extra right-handed bats to counter Atlanta southpaw Max Fried. The switch-hitting Ildemaro Vargas will enter the lineup in Garcia's stead, manning third base while batting eighth.

Merrifield (foot) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

He'll miss out on a fifth straight start while he gets more time off to recover from a left foot fracture. Cavan Biggio will cover the keystone Wednesday, but Atlanta is hopeful that Merrifield will be ready to reclaim an everyday role in the infield coming out of Thursday's team off day.
