MLB Player News

Hayes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

He'll sit for the first time since getting a breather in the second half of a doubleheader with the Cardinals on June 14, ending a streak of six straight starts. With Hayes on the bench, Hoy Park will cover third base, while rookie shortstop Oneil Cruz gets a look in the leadoff role.

Candelario isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Boston.

Candelario returned to the field Monday against the Red Sox and went 2-for-8 with two strikeouts over the last two games. He'll get a breather while Harold Castro starts at the hot corner and bats fifth.

Longoria will sit Wednesday against Atlanta.

Longoria will get a day off after he went 2-for-7 with a run scored in the first two games of the series. Wilmer Flores will get the start at third base and bat third Wednesday.

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.

Devers isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Tigers, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Devers will get a rare day off after he went 3-for-9 with a double, an RBI, two walks and two strikeouts over the last three games. Jeter Downs is making his major-league debut at third base Wednesday.

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.

Bride went 2-for-4 with a pair of hits in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Mariners.

Since going 0-for-3 in his MLB debut June 14, Bride has proceeded to record at least one hit in each of his subsequent six starts. Only one of his eight big-league hits has gone for extra bases, but Bride's high-contact approach -- he's struck out just once in 25 plate appearances -- should allow him to stick around as a lineup regular against both left- and right-handed pitching. Bride is expected to see most of his work at third base and second base, but he could be catcher-eligible in some leagues after logging 11 starts behind the plate for Triple-A Las Vegas this season prior to his call-up.

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.
