Merrifield (head) isn't in Atlanta's lineup Thursday against the Rockies.

Merrifield will sit down for the second game in a row after getting hit in the head by a pitch during Tuesday's contest. In his place, Luke Williams will start at the keystone and bat ninth.

Moore has a left meniscus injury that will be "treated conservatively," though he could return to play this season.

Moore exited a Double-A game Friday after hurting his left leg, and the Angels announced Wednesday that he suffered a meniscus injury. The organization indicated that the 21-year-old will get conservative treatment before trying to ramp up his baseball activity but didn't rule him out from returning in the regular season. That's a bit surprising considering that the Double-A campaign ends on Sept. 15.

India went 1-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Wednesday's 12-5 win over Houston.

India got the party started with a leadoff home run in the bottom of the first inning. It was his 14th homer of the season. He later walked and scored a second run in the same inning, as Cincinnati put a nine-spot on the board in the opening frame. India slumped coming out of the All-Star break, but he has a .902 OPS over the last 19 contests, including hits in all three September games (5-for-10, four walks, five runs).

Turang went 3-for-5 with two doubles and a stolen base in Wednesday's loss to the Cardinals.

Turang got to second base three times in the contest and reached third base twice, but Milwaukee was unable to bring him home. It was nonetheless a strong performance by the second baseman, who collected multiple extra-base hits in a game for just the fourth time this season. Turang's swipe of third base in the sixth inning was his 41st theft of the campaign, third most in the majors.

Lopez went 3-for-4 with a solo homer, a walk and a second run scored in Wednesday's 8-1 win over the Orioles.

Lopez opened the scoring on the second pitch of the game, taking an Albert Suarez fastball over the right-field fence to put Chicago ahead 1-0 in the first inning. It's the first long ball of the year for the 29-year-old Lopez, who'd been stuck in a 6-for-39 (.154) slump in 12 contests coming into Wednesday. Overall, the infielder is slashing .241/.313/.299 with 37 runs scored, 18 RBI and five stolen bases across 405 plate appearances this year.

Hoerner went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Wednesday's 12-0 win over the Pirates.

Hoerner went 0-for-4 in Tuesday's contest, but before that, he was riding a nine-game hitting streak. Over his last 15 games, the infielder is batting .316 with 14 runs scored and five stolen bases. Hoerner's greatest fantasy asset is his speed, and if he keeps getting on base consistently, he should be able to rack up plenty of steals and score a fair amount of runs as well.

Polanco isn't in Seattle's lineup Wednesday against the Athletics.

Polanco will get a chance to regroup Wednesday after going 0-for-13 with four walks over his last five games. While he rests, Dylan Moore will start at the keystone and bat ninth.

The White Sox placed Baldwin on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right wrist sprain, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

A hand injury kept Baldwin sidelined for seven consecutive games before he entered Tuesday's game off the bench, though he'll now need to miss at least another 10 days after injuring his wrist. Lenyn Sosa will presumably continue to see regular starts while Baldwin is out, and Bryan Ramos will come up from Triple-A Charlotte to replenish Chicago's infield depth.

Semien is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

It's a rare day on the bench for Semien, who started Texas' previous 52 games and is sitting for just the third time all season. It's a good time for a day off, though, as the second baseman is in the midst of a 2-for-30 slump over the past seven games. Ezequiel Duran is manning the keystone while Josh Smith receives a look atop the lineup.

Baldwin (hand) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Baldwin hasn't been in the lineup since Aug. 27 due to a hand injury, though he did come off the bench to play second base in Tuesday's blowout loss, going 0-for-3 with a strikeout. That appearance indicates the 24-year-old is now healthy and that he's no longer the preferred option at second base. Nicky Lopez is starting at the keystone Wednesday, but Lenyn Sosa started there in three of the previous four games.
