Karros (biceps) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest in San Diego.

Karros had to be scratched from Tuesday's lineup with left biceps inflammation and will now miss a second straight start. The Rockies are idle Thursday, so Karros will aim to return to action Friday when the Rockies return home to host the Royals. Willi Castro will fill in again at the hot corner Wednesday in Karros' stead.

Giants manager Tony Vitello said Wednesday that Chapman (abdomen) will be activated from the 10-day injured list at some point during this weekend's series versus the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The Giants begin a road trip with a four-game series in San Diego beginning Thursday. Chapman has not played any rehab games, but it appears he'll skip a rehab assignment despite being shelved for the past month. The veteran third baseman is sporting a disappointing .235/.324/.368 batting line with seven home runs in 84 contests for San Francisco this season.

Garcia (hand) went 0-for-3 with Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Tuesday.

Garcia logged five innings at third base but went hitless to begin his rehab assignment, as he works his way back from a muscle strain in his left hand that has kept him sidelined since June 22. The 26-year-old likely won't need an extended rehab assignment before rejoining the big-league club, though it's unclear how many minor-league games he'll require before being activated from the injured list. Garcia is slated to serve as the designated hitter for Wednesday's contest, per Anne Rogers of MLB.com. He's slashing .261/.320/.373 with three homers, 30 RBI, 32 runs and five stolen bases across 69 games.

Keith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

The left-handed-hitting Keith had started in each of the Tigers' last seven games, but he'll retreat to the bench Wednesday while southpaw Trevor Rogers takes the mound for the Orioles. Hao-Yu Lee will step in at third base for Keith and will bat third.

White went 4-for-4 with two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox.

White was a hit machine, collecting four singles for the second time since being called up July 17. Through 10 games, the 23-year-old is slashing .359/.390/.410 in 41 plate appearances but has yet to record his first big-league RBI. With Zack Gelof (knee) and Joshua Kuroda-Grauer (groin) on the injured list, White appears to have a firm grip on a regular role at the hot corner.

Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said that Jimenez was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies due to a "stomach issue," Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Jimenez had been slated to start at third base, but the Marlins will instead go with Javier Sanoja at that spot. The Marlins haven't revealed whether Jimenez will be available off the bench, though McCullough may look to stay away from using the 25-year-old while he's feeling less than 100 percent.

Machado went 3-for-4 with a walk, one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 8-7 win over the Rockies.

Machado has six multi-hit efforts over his last eight games, going 14-for-36 (.389) with six extra-base hits and eight RBI in that span. The third baseman struggled mightily at the beginning of the season but has put together a strong July with seven homers, 18 RBI and a .310 average this month. Overall, he's batting .216 with a .744 OPS, 23 homers, 64 RBI, 55 runs scored, 18 doubles and two stolen bases over 104 contests.

Muncy went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Mariners.

Muncy had gone 0-for-7 with a walk and five strikeouts over his previous two games. He bounced back in this contest, swatting a fifth-inning homer before adding a steal as the Dodgers rallied in the ninth. The third baseman has 21 homers on the season, including four over nine contests since the All-Star break. He's batting .256 with an .858 OPS, 49 RBI, 59 runs scored, 16 doubles, one triple and two steals over 98 games.

Okamoto went 1-for-2 with a homer and two runs scored in Toronto's 8-6 loss to Washington on Tuesday.

After replacing the injured Vladimir Guerrero (hamstring) at first base in the bottom of the fourth inning, Okamoto clubbed a homer in his first at-bat in the fifth. The 30-year-old later came around to score on George Springer's three-run homer in the eighth. On the campaign, Okamoto is slashing .226/.304/.449 with 24 homers and 66 RBI in 427 plate appearances. If Guerrero is to miss time, Okamoto would likely receive more playing time at first base.

Bregman went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Tuesday's 10-2 win over the Cardinals.

After getting a day off Sunday, Bregman has now gone 7-for-10 in his first two games back in the lineup. The veteran third baseman is having a slightly down season overall with a .245/.339/.374 slash line across 104 games, though he's starting to get his bat going recently. Bregman historically gets stronger later in the year, and with a career .963 OPS in August, he could be primed for a good stretch of performances as the calendar flips a page.
