Julien will start at second base and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game against the Giants.

Joey Gallo had served as the Twins' table setter in two of the previous three games, but since he'll be resting for the series finale, Julien will receive his first look atop the lineup since being called up from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday. The rookie had served as the Twins' cleanup or No. 5 batter in each of the previous three games, going 1-for-7 with a walk and four strikeouts. Though he's mustered a .194/.256/.361 slash line through his first 40 plate appearances in the majors, Julien should continue to see regular starts at the keystone so long as Jorge Polanco (hamstring) remains on the injured list.

Bae is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Rangers.

Bae will take a seat as the Pirates face off with left-hander Martin Perez on the mound Wednesday. Rodolfo Castro will slot in at second base and bat sixth in the rubber match with Texas.

Merrifield went 3-for-6 with a double, three runs scored and a steal in Tuesday's win over the Rays.

Merrifield extended his hitting streak to five games, having gone 10-for-19 with a home run and two steals in that span. The 34-year-old second baseman has looked like his old self after a down 2022 season. Merrifield is now slashing .295/.345/.397 with two homers, 19 RBI, 24 runs scored and 14 steals (in 15 attempts) through 171 plate appearances.

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

The Diamondbacks are facing a lefty starting pitcher (Ranger Suarez) for the second game in a row, so the lefty-hitting Rojas will remain on the bench for the series finale. Emmanuel Rivera will spell Rojas at third base and bat third.

Gonzalez will start at second base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

Gonzalez will pick up a fourth consecutive start, including his third straight at the keystone while Hanser Alberto (shoulder) has been banged up. The White Sox haven't revealed whether Alberto will require a trip to the 10-day injured list, but even if that's the case, Gonzalez may not be in store for a long-term run as an everyday player. Elvis Andrus (oblique) is expected to head out on a rehab assignment next week and could be ready to return from the IL within the first week of June to reclaim duties as Chicago's primary second baseman.

Miller went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer, a stolen base and scored twice in Tuesday's win over the Astros.

Miller singled his first two times up and wound up swiping his fifth bag of the year. His big hit of the night came in the eighth inning when he took Rafael Montero deep to left to put the Brewers up 6-0. Tuesday's performance added on to what's already been a productive month at the plate for Miller. The 26-year-old is slashing .404/.407/.667 with three homers, seven RBI, nine runs, two steals and a 1:10 BB:K over 15 games in May. His hot bat has earned him more consistent playing time over the last few weeks and he's even made a handful of starts atop the lineup when facing lefties.

Donovan went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Reds.

Donovan filled in at first base with Paul Goldschmidt resting his legs as the designated hitter. Prior to Tuesday's multi-hit effort, Donovan had gone 1-for-15 in his last five contests. The utility man is slashing .250/.333/.343 with three home runs, three steals, 11 RBI, 20 runs scored and four doubles through 159 plate appearances. His ability to play all around the diamond has helped him maintain fairly regular playing time despite not having a steady position. Most of Donovan's starts lately have come in the outfield with the Cardinals missing Tyler O'Neill (back) and Dylan Carlson (ankle).

Haggerty stole a base as a pinch runner for Ty France (wrist) in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Athletics.

France may not be available to play Wednesday, so there could be a chance for Haggerty to nab a rare start at first base. Haggerty has served as a bench option lately -- he hasn't started since May 14. The utility man has four steals and a .147 batting average through 38 plate appearances.

Astros manager Dusty Baker said that Altuve left Tuesday's game against the Brewers due to an illness, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Altuve is still being evaluated, but his removal from the contest was deemed precautionary, according to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. The second baseman went 1-for-3 before being replaced by Mauricio Dubon. Altuve should be considered day-to-day with a chance to return to the lineup for Wednesday's series finale in Milwaukee.

Altuve left Tuesday's game against the Brewers with an apparent injury, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. He went 1-for-3 before his exit.

Altuve has been replaced by Mauricio Dubon at second base. The infielder should be considered day-to-day until there are further updates.
