  • Luis Arraez 2B | SF

    Marlins' Luis Arraez: Held out of Game 2

    Arraez (ankle) won't start in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Arraez was also held out of the first game Wednesday, and he still has yet to appear in a game since injuring his ankle Saturday against Milwaukee. Xavier Edwards will start at second base and bat ninth while Arraez continues to heal.

  • Jeff McNeil 2B | ATH

    Mets' Jeff McNeil: Sitting nightcap

    McNeil isn't in the Mets' lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against Miami, Anthony DiComo of MLB.comreports.

    McNeil will get a breather to close out Wednesday's activities after going 1-for-4 with an RBI during Game 1. Brandon Nimmo, Rafael Ortega and DJ Stewart will start across the Mets' outfield while McNeil sits.

  • Josh Rojas 3B | CHW

    Mariners' Josh Rojas: Sitting against lefty

    Rojas is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Astros.

    Jose Caballero will start at second base and bat ninth in the Mariners' hugely important matchup versus the Astros and left-hander Framber Valdez. Rojas has slashed just .233/.313/.279 against lefties this year between Arizona and Seattle.

  • Jose Fermin 2B | STL

    Cardinals' Jose Fermin: Not in Wednesday's lineup

    Fermin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

    Fermin is 5-for-18 with a walk and no extra-base hits in six games since being promoted from Triple-A Memphis in early September. The 24-year-old has seen more action of late with Nolan Arenado (back) shut down for the final stretch of the season, though it's Juniel Querecuto starting at third base Wednesday.

  • Joseph Ortiz 2B | MIL

    Orioles' Joey Ortiz: Returns to action at Triple-A

    Ortiz (oblique) is back in the lineup for Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday, David Hall of The Virginia-Pilot reports.

    Ortiz will start at second base and bat sixth after missing three weeks of action because of a left oblique injury. The 25-year-old infielder has posted an impressive .321/.378/.507 slash line with nine homers and 11 steals in 88 games this season at the Triple-A level.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Sitting versus lefty

    Massey is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Tigers.

    Nick Loftin will play second base and bat sixth as tough left-hander Tarik Skubal toes the slab for Detroit. Massey has posted a weak .591 OPS in 87 plate appearances versus lefties this year.

  • Ji-Hwan Bae 2B | NYM

    Pirates' Ji Hwan Bae: Absent from lineup

    Bae is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Philadelphia.

    He'll take a seat as the Phillies send southpaw Ranger Suarez to the hill. Nick Gonzales will man second base for the Pirates, and Jack Suwinski will patrol center field.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Orioles' Adam Frazier: Not in Wednesday's lineup

    Frazier is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    The left-handed hitting Frazier will begin this one on the bench as the Nats throw southpaw Patrick Corbin. Jordan Westburg is handling second base.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | SF

    Marlins' Luis Arraez: Out for first game Wednesday

    Arraez (ankle) remains out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Arraez had been set to miss Tuesday's contest before it was rained out and is not in there for the makeup game, either. He hasn't played since Sept. 23 because of a left ankle sprain, and it's not clear whether he might have a shot to participate in Wednesday's nightcap. Jon Berti is at second base and batting fifth for the first game.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Orioles' Adam Frazier: Picks up 11th steal

    Frazier went 1-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Nationals.

    Frazier has maintained a .242 batting average this year, and he's been right at that level by going 13-for-53 (.245) in September. He's logged two steals over his last six games to give him 11 thefts on the year. The second baseman has added 13 home runs, 60 RBI, 58 runs scored and a .699 OPS over 137 contests, and he continues to see a majority of the playing time at the keystone versus right-handed pitchers.
