Marte started at designated hitter and went 2-for-5 with a double and solo home run in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Yankees.

Marte popped his first home run of the season in the fifth inning, knotting the game 2-2 and setting up the extra frames. He eventually moved to shortstop for the 11th inning after Geraldo Perdomo (knee) was removed. Marte came up through the system as a shortstop, which is where he played early in his career, but has since evolved into a second baseman following a brief stint in center field. If Perdomo misses game action, the Diamondbacks are expected to cover his absence with a combination of Blaze Alexander and Jace Peterson.

Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Cardinals.

Bogaerts is looking to work his way out of a bit of a slump, having gone hitless in four of his previous five games entering Wednesday and going 2-for-18 (.111) in that stretch. Even with the mini cold spell, Bogaerts owns a solid .286 average in 2024 after logging two hits in each of his first three games. Bogaerts also got on the board in the steal column Wednesday, lending some hope to the idea that the now-second baseman could repeat his career-high 19 steals from a season ago.

Donovan was removed from Wednesday's game versus the Padres after getting hit by a pitch, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Donovan became the fourth Cardinal to get hit by a pitch Wednesday when he took a 95-mph sinker off his elbow during the top of the eighth inning -- his second HBP of the game. He remained in to run the bases but was replaced in left field by Mike Siani before the bottom half of the frame. The severity of Donovan's injury is unknown, but getting hit by two pitches may prompt a day off Thursday versus Miami at the very least.

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

The Giants will send out lefty Kyle Harrison to start Wednesday's contest, meaning the left-handed bat of Lux will retreat to the bench. Mookie Betts will shift to second base while Lux sits, allowing Miguel Rojas to start at shortstop and bat ninth.

Rays manager Kevin Cash said Wednesday that he's hopeful Lowe (oblique) will be ready to return to the lineup Saturday in Colorado, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Lowe exited Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Rangers due to left side tightness, but Cash said the second baseman wanted to remain in the game. The manager hopes that the team's off day Thursday combined with a left-hander starting for the Rockies on Friday will allow Lowe sufficient rest before he can return to action Saturday. Side injuries can be tricky, though, so an eventual stint on the injured list can't be ruled out.

Rengifo was lifted from Wednesday's game in Miami after feeling lightheaded.

Rengifo went 1-for-3 with a run scored at the plate before exiting. Consider him day-to-day for the time being. Nolan Schanuel entered the game in Rengifo's place, with Miguel Sano shifting from first to third base.

Lowe was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rangers due to left side tightness, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

It's not clear when Lowe was injured, but he went 0-for-2 with a strikeout before being lifted after the fifth inning. The Rays are calling Lowe day-to-day for the time being, but the club may offer more clarity on his situation after the game.

Rodgers is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

He's being given a day of rest as Alan Trejo handles second base. Rodgers has had a rough start to the season, going 3-for-25 with a 7:0 K:BB.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

The Mariners are going with a right-handed-heavy lineup to counter southpaw Logan Allen, so Rojas will retreat to the bench along with Dominic Canzone. Dylan Moore will replace Canzone in left field, while Luis Urias spells Rojas at third base.

Dunn is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Twins.

Dunn had started each of the previous three games, with two of those starts coming at third base. He'll yield the hot corner to Joey Ortiz in the series finale.
