Remillard went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Wednesday's 11-5 win over the Angels.

Remillard's playing time dried up once Tim Anderson got back into the lineup. This was Remillard's third multi-hit effort in 10 contests, and he's now 10-for-26 (.385). The utility man also has two steals on three attempts, four RBI and three runs scored. Regular playing time is likely to remain hard to come by, so it's unlikely the 29-year-old will garner much interest in fantasy.

Lopez was removed from Wednesday's game with a right hand contusion.

Lopez had to be removed from Wednesday's contest after taking a pitch to the hand, and he's now officially listed as day-to-day. It's possible the Royals hold Lopez out of the lineup Thursday, though it will likely depend on how the 28-year-old infielder is feeling. Lopez is slashing .128/.277/.179 since the beginning of June.

Lopez was removed from Wednesday's game against the Guardians after getting hit by a pitch, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

The pitch hit Lopez's hand/wrist, and he was replaced at second base by Samad Taylor between innings. The Royals will take a closer look at Lopez and should provide more details relatively soon, but Lopez should be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Andrus isn't in the White Sox's lineup Wednesday against the Angels.

Andrus is just 2-for-18 with one RBI across his last six games, so he'll take a day off Wednesday to regroup. Zach Remillard will fill in at second base and bat eighth.

Rengifo isn't in the Angels' lineup Wednesday against the White Sox, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Rengifo broke his four-game hitless streak with a triple Tuesday, and he'll catch a breather Wednesday against Chicago. While Rengifo rests, Eduardo Escobar will start at third base, Brandon Drury will play second and Mike Moustakas will start at first.

Urias is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Mets.

Brian Anderson will cover third base with Blake Perkins patrolling right field. Urias went 0-for-3 in Tuesday night's loss at New York and is batting just .148/.303/.241 over 19 games (67 plate appearances) in what has been an injury-marred first half of the 2023 season.

Stott is not in the lineup Wednesday versus the Cubs.

Philly will roll out a right-heavy lineup with left-hander Drew Smyly on the bump for Chicago. Josh Harrison is playing second base and batting seventh.

Altuve (heel) is leading off and playing second base versus the Cardinals on Wednesday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Altuve makes his return to the lineup after being out since Saturday due to discomfort in his heel. The 33-year-old will be back in his usual spot at the top of the lineup, and Mauricio Dubon will retreat to the bench with Altuve back in action.

McNeil is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Brewers.

Danny Mendick will play second base and bat ninth versus the Brewers and left-hander Wade Miley as McNeil grabs some pine in the midst of a 1-for-21 rut. Tommy Pham is in left field and hitting fifth for the host Mets.

Kim went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Tuesday's loss against Pittsburgh.

Kim's been productive recently, going 12-for-32 (.375) with three home runs, nine RBI and a 1.101 OPS over his last eight contests. Overall, he's slashing .258/.348/.400 with eight homers, 35 runs scored, 28 RBI and a career-best 13 stolen bases through 270 plate appearances this season while starting nearly every day at second base.
