Houston optioned Hensley to Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday.

Hensley played in only one game during his latest stay with the Astros and has batted just .119/.213/.167 with 35 strikeouts across 94 total major-league plate appearances this season.

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

He'll give way to Danny Mendick at third base Wednesday, but Arauz looks like he'll operate as the Mets' primary option at the position versus right-handed pitching while both Mark Vientos (wrist) and Luis Guillorme (calf) are on the injured list. Arauz started each of the past three games, going 1-for-8 with a walk and an RBI.

Lopez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Lopez will join fellow left-handed hitter Eddie Rosario on the bench for the series finale while the Mets bring southpaw Jose Quintana to the hill. Vaughn Grissom will cover second base in place of Lopez, who has produced a pair of base hits in both of his last two starts.

Gimenez is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Dodgers.

Southpaw Clayton Kershaw is toeing the slab for the Dodgers, so it's not a bad time for a day off for the left-handed-hitting Gimenez. Tyler Freeman will pick up a start at second base in place of Gimenez.

Gimenez went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Dodgers.

Over his last nine games, Gimenez has five multi-hit efforts and four 0-fers, resulting in a .364 batting average over that span. He's also collected a pair of steals but just three RBI in that sample. The second baseman is slashing .245/.315/.389 with 21 thefts, 11 home runs, 45 RBI and 56 runs scored over 120 contests this season. His playing time remains secure despite his overall struggles with getting on base consistently.

Remillard was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Remillard is clearing out to make room for Tim Anderson's return from suspension. The 29-year-old hadn't been playing much lately, starting just one of the previous six contests.

Gorman (back) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list Friday as long as he gets through a full workout Wednesday with no setbacks, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Gorman was forced to the IL last week with a balky back, an injury which he initially suffered back during the 2020-21 offseason during a weightlifting incident. He's feeling much better following a pain-killing injection and appears on track for activation when first eligible this weekend as the Cardinals travel to Philadelphia.

Caballero (shin/hamstring) appeared off the bench in Monday's and Tuesday's wins over the White Sox.

He drove in a run as a late-inning replacement Monday and was caught stealing as a pinch runner Tuesday. Caballero hasn't started a game since Saturday and is not in Wednesday's lineup, but he looks to be over his shin and hamstring issues.

Estrada went 3-for-5 with a double and one run scored in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Phillies.

The 27-year-old infielder notched two singles and a double against Phillies starter Taijuan Walker on Tuesday. Estrada has now hit safely in eight of his last nine games, going 15-for-37 with four doubles and a homer during the hot stretch.

Rojas went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run in a win over the White Sox on Tuesday.

Rojas kept his bat hot with a 387-foot blast to right-center field in the fourth inning with Mike Ford aboard, doubling the Mariners' advantage to 4-1 at the time. The recent trade acquisition has launched both his homers on the season since arriving in Seattle and now carries a .353 average and .977 OPS across his last 10 games.
