Bae is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Jared Triolo will start at second base and bat sixth as Jack Suwinski covers center field and hits fifth. Bae went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Tuesday's blowout loss to Chicago and is slashing just .236/.300/.314 across 343 total plate appearances this year for Pittsburgh.

Turang remains out of the lineup Wednesday at St. Louis.

Andruw Monasterio will start at second base and bat eighth as the Brewers face a second straight left-hander in Zack Thompson. Turang has batted just .193 with a .474 OPS this year against southpaws.

Urias was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rangers due to left calf tightness, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

The 26-year-old has recently been working as Boston's primary second baseman and went 1-for-3 with a strikeout before leaving Wednesday's contest. Urias will have a team day off Thursday to recover before Friday's series opener versus the White Sox.

Arraez (ankle) remains out of the lineup Wednesday versus the Mets.

Arraez was scratched Tuesday after suffering a left ankle sprain while participating in pregame infield practice. It's a positive sign that he has yet to be placed on the 10-day injured list, and the MLB batting average leader (.354) can utilize Thursday's scheduled team off day to hopefully get himself healthy for the Marlins' upcoming three-game weekend set against the Brewers. Jon Berti will fill in at second base and hit eighth in Wednesday's series finale versus New York.

Kim (abdomen) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rockies, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Kim has been battling some abdominal soreness since the weekend and will miss a fourth straight start. The Padres will go with Matthew Batten again at second base Wednesday.

Frazier went 0-for-2 with two walks, a stolen base and one run scored in Tuesday's 9-5 win over the Astros.

Frazier has hit pretty well in September, going 11-for-38 (.289) over 15 games with seven RBI and six runs scored in that span. The steal was his first since Aug. 30. The second baseman is holding down a strong-side platoon role with a .246/.305/.408 slash line, 10 steals, 13 home runs, 60 RBI and 58 runs scored over 132 contests this season. Jordan Westburg remains Frazier's biggest competition for playing time.

Andrus is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Nationals.

Andrus has been productive lately when he's played, hitting .326 with one home run, four runs, six RBI and one steal in 14 games this month. Lenyn Sosa is manning the keystone and batting eighth.

Westburg is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Astros.

Westburg is hitting .286 with one home run, three runs and three RBI in 35 at-bats this month. Ramon Urias is starting at third base and hitting ninth.

Gimenez went 2-for-5 with a triple, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Royals.

His sixth-inning pilfer gave Gimenez an even 30 for the season, further padding his career high. The 25-year-old is having an impressive September, reeling off multiple hits in three straight games and six of the last nine to boost his slash line on the month to .354/.408/.477 with a homer, eight steals, nine RBI and 10 runs in 17 contests.

Haggerty went 1-for-2 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Athletics.

Haggerty's playing time remains sporadic, but he was able to make a small impact off the bench Tuesday. The steal was his first since Sept. 2. The speedy outfielder is up to a .247/.330/.321 slash line with seven steals, one home run, four RBI and 13 runs scored through 92 plate appearances this season.
