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.

Marte went 4-for-4 with a walk, two RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Giants.

This was Marte's first four-hit game of the season, though all of the hits were singles. The second baseman is batting .339 (21-for-62) over 16 games in September while adding 11 RBI and nine extra-base hits in that span. For the season, he's up to a .279/.360/.487 slash line with 23 home runs, 79 RBI, 90 runs scored and six stolen bases over 142 contests.

Edwards was added to the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

Edwards will start at second base and bat ninth for the Marlins after Luis Arraez suffered a left ankle sprain during pregame infield practice. It's the first start for Edwards since Friday's series opener versus Atlanta, but he could see a sudden uptick in playing time if Arraez requires an extended absence.

Arraez was scratched from the lineup Tuesday versus the Mets due to a left ankle sprain, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Arraez rolled his ankle during a pregame workout Tuesday in Miami and could need multiple days off for rest and treatment. This injury comes with awful timing for the Marlins, who are currently a half-game back of the third NL wild-card spot. Xavier Edwards is filling in at second base Tuesday night against New York.

Kim (abdomen) remains out of the lineup Tuesday against the Rockies.

This is the third straight absence for Kim, who came down with some abdominal discomfort over the weekend and is still being evaluated. Matthew Batten will play second base and bat seventh for the Padres on Tuesday versus Colorado.
