Miranda went 3-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run in Wednesday's victory over the Yankees.

Miranda ripped an RBI single off Nestor Cortes in the bottom of the fourth frame before later adding a double, a run and a two-RBI single. It was the third time in his last four starts where he's recorded multiple hits, going 8-for-16 with two homers, two doubles, seven RBI and four runs in those contests. With Carlos Correa now back in the fold following a stint on the COVID list, it may be difficult for Miranda to start on a consistent basis, but his recent stretch has certainly helped his chances to crack the lineup.

Devers is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Devers is riding a seven-game hit streak but will receive a day off Wednesday after starting the past 38 games. It's only his second time out of the lineup this season. Bobby Dalbec will take over at third base for Boston, batting seventh.

Senzel was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Diamondbacks due to a lower-back strain, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Senzel was penciled in to bat leadoff Wednesday but was scratched while the start of the contest delayed due to rain. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but it's a troublesome development given the 26-year-old's extensive injury history.

Longoria is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Longoria will head to the bench Wednesday for the second time in the past three games. Thairo Estrada will start at the hot corner and bat sixth in Longoria's absence.

Manager Dave Roberts said there's a "good possibility" Wednesday is the last day of Muncy's (elbow) rehab assignment, and the infielder could be activated from the 10-day injured list as early as Thursday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The 31-year-old has gone 2-for-10 with a home run, two RBI and three walks over three rehab appearances with Triple-A Oklahoma City, and his fourth game Wednesday is set to be his last. Muncy has been sidelined by left elbow inflammation the past two weeks but may be back in the lineup for Thursday's series finale versus the White Sox. He's struggled so far in 2022 with a .150/.327/.263 slash line, three home runs and 14 RBI in 41 games.

Arenado, who is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays, could be dealing with some residual soreness after he was hit in the kneecap by a pitch in Tuesday's 4-2 loss, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Arenado looked to be in pain after he was hit by a pitch in the top of the 10th, but he took his base and was in the field in the bottom of the inning in the Rays' walkoff win. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol hasn't explicitly said that Arenado's absence from the lineup a day later is a result of the knee issue, but the 31-year-old's availability will bear watching nonetheless heading into Thursday's series finale. For his part, Arenado told Denton that he expects to be ready to pinch hit Wednesday if needed and plans to rejoin the lineup Thursday.

Arenado isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Arenado will get a day off after he went 2-for-16 with two runs, two RBI, two walks and a strikeout over the last four games. Brendan Donovan will start at third base while Lars Nootbaar takes over in right field.

Paredes is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Cardinals.

Paredes started in the last five games and went 2-for-13 with a homer, three runs, three RBI and five walks. Vidal Brujan will take over at the keystone and bat sixth Thursday.

Lewis has demonstrated some healing since landing on the 10-day injured list May 30, but he has yet to progress to baseball activities while recovers from a bone bruise of his right knee, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Hayes relays that the Twins are still planning on sending Lewis in for a follow-up MRI, but that seems merely designed to confirm the first diagnosis that he's dealing with a bone bruise. In any case, Lewis looks to be at least a week away from resuming activities, so a late-June return from the IL could be a best-case scenario for the hotshot rookie at this juncture.

Senzel went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs in Tuesday's 14-8 win over the Diamondbacks.

Senzel has served as the Reds' leadoff man in each of the team's first seven games of June and has produced a .323/.364/.355 slash line to go with two stolen bases. While the power production is lacking from the former top prospect, Senzel likely won't be in danger of sliding down in the order until Jonathan India (hamstring) is cleared to return from the 10-day injured list.
