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

Turang will head to the bench as Brewers manager Craig Counsell goes heavy on right-handed bats against Philadelphia southpaw Cristopher Sanchez. Jahmai Jones will pick up the starting nod at second base in place of Turang.

India is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

The recent promotion of power-hitting prospect Christian Encarnacion-Strand means that the Reds will have nine lineup spots available for 10 hitters worthy of starting roles against right-handed pitching, so manager David Bell is expected to rotate off days among a number of players until an injury clears up the crowdedness. India finds himself as the odd man out Wednesday, with Matt McLain shifting over from shortstop to man India's usual spot at the keystone.

Arroyo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Arroyo went 2-for-16 with a double and a run while starting at the keystone in each of Boston's last four games. He'll give way to Enrique Hernandez in the series finale, but Arroyo still looks to be Boston's preferred second baseman.

Frazier is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

Frazier will head to the bench as the Orioles face off with left-hander Julio Urias on Wednesday. Jordan Westburg will slide over to second base while Ramon Urias enters the lineup at third base and bats seventh in the series finale with Los Angeles.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Rangers.

Lowe took Grant Anderson deep in the seventh inning, marking his first home run since he returned from the injured list July 4. He's hit poorly in that span but is reaching base at a .344 clip while striking out at only at a 15.6 percent rate. Lowe will remain in a large-side platoon role at second base.

Peguero is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Guardians.

Peguero will head to the bench after he went 0-for-6 with five strikeouts over the first two games of the series. Tucupita Marcano will start at shortstop and bat seventh in the series finale with Cleveland.

Diaz (illness) started Tuesday's win over the Red Sox at designated hitter and went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk.

Diaz had exited Monday's game early due to illness but made a quick return less than 24 hours later. The 22-year-old responded with his third extra-base hit of July and second in the last three games, which, when paired with his walk, pushed his on-base percentage during the month to an impressive .351 across 37 plate appearances. Diaz is helping his cause by keeping his strikeout rate manageable (22.5 percent), and a minor-league resume that includes figures of 17.9 percent or lower in that category over seven professional seasons suggests he'll continue whittling it down the more reps he receives versus big-league arms.

India went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-2 loss to San Francisco.

Monday's game was suspended after nearly two hours of rain and thunder before the two teams finished up Tuesday. India's seventh-inning home run Monday tied the game and set up the suspended state. The second baseman entered the game looking for answers to an extended slump. India batted .156 with a .567 OPS over the 25 games preceding Monday's tilt.

Rojas (back) served as the designated hitter in a game at the Arizona Complex League on Tuesday. He went 1-for-3.

Rojas hadn't played since July 1, when Triple-A Reno placed him on the injured list with a lower-back injury. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo told Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic that the infielder is "getting his swing back together," which makes it sound like the manager's primary concern is less the back than the swing. Rojas was demoted to the minors June 19 after posting a .607 OPS for the Diamondbacks.

Donovan went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 5-2 extra-inning win over the Marlins.

Donovan tied the game at 1-1 with his sixth-inning solo shot. The utility man is still about a week away from returning to the field while battling an arm injury. It's had little impact on his hitting -- Donovan has gone 15-for-41 (.366) with three homers and 10 RBI over 11 contests in July. He's up to a .285/.372/.433 slash line with 11 homers, 34 RBI, 41 runs scored and four stolen bases through 85 games. Donovan should remain as the designated hitter until he returns to the field.
