Stott is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game at Arizona, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Stott started the past seven games and will head to the bench Wednesday after going 4-for-24 with two doubles, an RBI, two runs and a stolen base during that stretch. Edmundo Sosa will take over at shortstop and bat ninth in the series finale.

Rojas isn't starting Wednesday against the Phillies.

Rojas went 1-for-11 with a run, two walks and four strikeouts over the last three games and will get a rare day off Wednesday. Emmanuel Rivera is starting at the hot corner and batting third.

Polanco (kneecap) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

Polanco will sit out a fourth consecutive game while he continues to contend with left patellar tendinitis, affording Nick Gordon another start in the middle infield. The Twins are off Thursday, so the team will presumably wait and see how Polanco is feeling physically in advance of Friday's series opener with the White Sox before having a better sense of whether he'll require a stint on the injured list.

Haggerty (finger) is starting Wednesday against the Tigers.

Haggerty was out of the lineup for the last three games due to a finger injury, but he'll start in left field and bat ninth Wednesday. Since the start of August, he's hit .320 with two home runs, two doubles, eight runs, seven RBI and five stolen bases.

Espinal isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Cubs.

Espinal has gone 0-for-8 with a walk and a strikeout over his last three games and will head to the bench for the third time in the last four matchups. Whit Merrifield is starting at the keystone and batting ninth.

Gorman isn't starting Wednesday against Cincinnati, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Gorman is out of the lineup for a third consecutive game. He's in the midst of a slump at the plate in which he's hit just .138 with a double, four runs, an RBI, three walks and 11 strikeouts over his last nine games. Albert Pujols will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth.

Miller isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Orioles.

Miller started the last two games and went 2-for-6 with a run, a walk and two strikeouts. Josh Naylor will man first base and bat cleanup.

Brujan was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Brujan headed to the minors in early July and slashed .302/.378/.460 with four homers, 28 runs, 14 RBI and nine stolen bases over 31 games following his demotion. The 24-year-old should serve as a utility man for the big-league club after Brandon Lowe (triceps) was placed on the 15-day injured list.

Chavis will start at first base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Chavis will pick up his fourth consecutive start Wednesday and looks poised to operate as the Pirates' primary first baseman for the time being following Bligh Madris' recent demotion to Triple-A Indianapolis. Over 23 games in August, Chavis is slashing .243/.254/.457 with four home runs and 10 RBI.

Lowe was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right triceps contusion Wednesday, retroactive to Aug. 28, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Lowe missed the last three games due to injury and will be given at least another week to recover. Isaac Paredes (undisclosed) and Yu Chang are in line for additional work at second base in Lowe's absence, while Vidal Brujan was called up from Triple-A Durham on Wednesday.
