MLB Player News

Machado (shoulder) is not starting Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

His shoulder soreness will keep him out of the lineup once again, as he hasn't played since May 19. Either the injury is lingering longer than anticipated or the Padres expect Machado to return in the next couple days, because the star third baseman is approaching 10 days since the injury, yet he has not been placed on the injured list. There was talk of Machado being available as a pinch hitter Tuesday, so he does appear close to being ready.

Walls is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Walls will head to the bench for the first time since being promoted from Triple-A Durham on Saturday. Joey Wendle will check in at shortstop in place of Walls, who has gotten off to a 4-for-14 start to his big-league career.

Peterson was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville after he cleared waivers Wednesday.

Peterson was cast off the 40-man roster Monday after he was reinstated from the 10-day injured list, and he'll remain with Triple-A Nashville going forward. The 31-year-old has appeared in 12 minor-league games this year and has slashed .289/.357/.632 with three home runs, four doubles, 14 RBI and nine runs.

The Reds announced Wednesday that Senzel will require arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. He's expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks.

Senzel was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday due to left knee inflammation, and the issue is apparently more serious than the team initially anticipated. Manager David Bell described the surgery as a "clean-up" but said that the Reds won't have an official timetable for Senzel's return until the procedure is complete, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Jonathan India should serve as Cincinnati's primary second baseman while Senzel is out.

LeMahieu is batting leadoff and playing first base in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

He missed just one game while on paternity leave. LeMahieu has fallen into a cold 2-for-18 stretch in his last five games, but he has the potential for a solid performance against Toronto starter Alek Manoah, who makes his MLB debut Wednesday.

Triple-A St. Paul reinstated Maggi (undisclosed) from the 7-day injured list Wednesday.

Maggi hadn't played for St. Paul since May 9 due to the injury. The 32-year-old third baseman has yet to make his MLB debut and is viewed as more of an organizational depth piece rather than a prospect at this point.

Donaldson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Donaldson will sit for the second consecutive Wednesday, breaking a streak of seven consecutive starts. The 35-year-old managed only two hits in 22 at-bats over that stretch, with his average plummeting to .236 on the season as a result. Miguel Sano will spell Donaldson at third base in the series finale.

Suarez will lead off and man third base Wednesday against the Nationals, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Suarez's .228 on-base percentage and average speed wouldn't seem to make him a logical fit for the leadoff gig, but manager David Bell appears content to give the 29-year-old a trial in the role while the team remains without three everyday players (Joey Votto, Nick Senzel and Mike Moustakas) due to injury. In his first career start out of the leadoff spot in Tuesday's 2-1 win, Suarez struck out three times, but he connected on a pivotal solo home run off Max Scherzer in the sixth inning.

Madrigal went 3-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and was caught stealing in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Cardinals.

Madrigal is fourth on the White Sox with 44 base hits, a figure that could increase if his BABIP would cooperate. He's posted a .303 BABIP (league average is .289) while the three teammates ahead of him -- Yoan Moncada (.400), Yermin Mercedes (.388) and Tim Anderson (.367) -- have been considerably luckier than the second baseman.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Dodgers on Tuesday.

The third baseman offered the only resistance Houston could muster against Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw, taking the legendary left-hander deep to left field in the seventh inning. Bregman also singled in the ninth inning to notch his second two-hit game in his past three contests. On the season, he is slashing .319/.398/.481 with six homers and 25 RBI across 181 plate appearances.
