Lopez elected free agency Wednesday.

The veteran infielder cleared waivers after being scrubbed from the Cubs' 40-man roster, but he'll seek a gig elsewhere rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Iowa. Between stints in the big leagues with the Angels and Cubs this season, Lopez has gone 1-for-24 at the plate.

Hayes went 1-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored Wednesday against the Reds.

Hayes reached base multiple times for the first time in his last five starts and also scored multiple runs in a game for the first time on the campaign. Despite being an everyday player, Hayes continues to underwhelm as a fantasy option with only a .247 average, one homer and five stolen bases across 189 plate appearances.

Baty went 2-for-3 with an RBI single, a two-RBI single and a stolen base during Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Red Sox.

Baty broke a seventh-inning tie with a two-RBI single that plated Tyrone Taylor and Luis Torrens. The outing marked Baty's second game this season with more than two RBI, with his first being a five-RBI performance May 10. On the year, Baty is slashing .222/.247/.444 with five homers, 14 RBI and eight runs scored.

Machado went 2-for-4 with a double in Wednesday's 14-0 loss to Toronto.

It was a solid bounce-back effort by Machado, who smacked his 15th double of the year after going 0-for-15 in his prior four games. The All-Star third baseman is still batting a torrid .377 with one home run, five doubles, seven RBI and 14 runs scored over 61 at-bats in May. Machado also has eight multi-hit games this month alone.

Moncada isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Moncada will get a breather after going 2-for-5 with a three-run homer during Tuesday's victory. While he sits, Luis Rengifo will fill in at third base with Tim Anderson at the keystone.

Segura announced his retirement from professional baseball Wednesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Segura last played in the majors in 2023 with the Marlins, and he'll now hang up his cleats after spending 12 seasons in the big leagues. The two-time All-Star finishes with a career .281/.327/.401 slash line alongside 110 homers, 513 RBI and 211 stolen bases in 1,413 games.

Shaw went 1-for-2 with a walk, a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Marlins.

In three games since getting recalled to the majors Monday, Shaw has gone 5-for-11 with three doubles, two RBI, two runs scored and two steals. The 23-year-old rookie struggled in the big leagues to begin the year before being demoted to Triple-A Iowa in mid-April, but the top prospect has the talent to put everything together at the MLB level. Shaw should continue to be the Cubs' primary third baseman as long as he's contributing offensively.

Paredes went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and three total RBI in Wednesday's 8-4 loss to the Rays.

Paredes opened the scoring in the first inning with a two-run homer off Taj Bradley before adding a solo shot off Edwin Uceta in the eighth. It's the first multi-homer game of the year for Paredes, who now has six long balls in his last nine contests. Paredes has boosted his slash line to .270/.378/.483 through 209 plate appearances this season with 10 homers, 28 RBI and 25 runs scored.

Urias is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

Though he still looks to be the Orioles' preferred option at third base while Jordan Westburg (hamstring) remains on the shelf, Urias will give way to Emmanuel Rivera at the hot corner Wednesday after starting in the first two games of the series in Milwaukee. Since being activated from the 10-day injured list a week ago, Urias has gone 3-for-17 with a double, three walks, four runs and three RBI in five games.

Barger went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Padres.

Starting at third base and batting seventh, Barger swiped his first bag of the year and only his third in 95 career big-league contests. The 25-year-old has never recorded more than nine steals in a season, even in the minors, but he's provided plenty of value of late with his bat. Over the last 12 games, Barger is slashing .317/.364/.561 with four doubles, two homers, six runs and seven RBI.
