Riley isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Giants.

Riley has been an everyday player for Atlanta this season but will get a breather after he went 4-for-12 with a double, two runs, an RBI, a walk and two strikeouts over the last three games. Orlando Arcia is shifting to third base while Phil Gosselin starts at the keystone.

Senzel isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

Senzel will get a breather after he went 2-for-17 with two runs, a walk and five strikeouts over the last five games. Albert Almora is starting in center field while Matt Reynolds takes over in right.

Moustakas isn't starting Wednesday against the Dodgers.

Moustakas started in the last seven games and hit .280 with a double, three RBI, two runs and a stolen base. However, he'll get a breather while Brandon Drury serves as the designated hitter with Donovan Solano starting at third base.

Kennedy (wrist) isn't starting Wednesday against the Padres, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Kennedy was removed from Tuesday's game against San Diego due to left wrist discomfort and isn't in the lineup a day later. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available off the bench.

Machado (ankle) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Though the Padres remain optimistic the sprained left ankle Machado sustained in Sunday's loss to the Rockies won't force him to the 10-day injured list, the star third baseman will remain on the bench for the third day in a row. Ha-Seong Kim will once again replace Machado at the hot corner.

Hayes went 1-for-4 with a triple and a run scored Tuesday against the Cubs.

Hayes led off the bottom of the first inning with a triple and was immediately driven in by Bryan Reynolds. Hayes has struggled to display home run power this season, but he has four extra-base hits across his last 10 games. Across 263 plate appearances, he has 29 runs scored and eight stolen bases while maintaining a .265 batting average.

McMahon went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and two additional RBI during Tuesday's 9-8 loss at Miami.

The 27-year-old produced his first three-hit game of the season over the weekend against San Diego, and he did it for a second time Tuesday while launching his sixth homer. McMahon has a .246/.351/.415 slash line with two home runs and 14 RBI through 19 games in June.

Escobar went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Astros.

Escobar went deep in the seventh inning for his first homer since June 6. The infielder has hit safely in his last two games since snapping an 0-for-18 skid. He still owns a lackluster .230/.292/.395 slash line with six long balls, 29 RBI, 30 runs scored, 16 doubles and three triples across 271 plate appearances this year.

Kennedy was removed from Tuesday's game against the Padres with left wrist discomfort.

Kennedy appeared to tweak something when he struck out swinging during the top of fourth inning, and he was replaced in the field for the bottom of the frame. The severity of the 23-year-old's wrist injury remains unclear, and he should be considered day-to-day until his status is updated.

Wisdom went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Pirates.

The Cubs had just six hits as a team and fell 7-1, but Wisdom still delivered a nice stat line. His .222 batting average leaves plenty to be desired in that category, but the third baseman does now lead the squad with 13 home runs, one ahead of Willson Contreras. Wisdom is also second on the team with 32 RBI, so he's provided his share of fantasy value despite not being a great contact hitter.
