Devers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

With a team off day coming Thursday, the Red Sox will look to build in a two-day break for Devers, who was overdue for a breather after starting in each of Boston's last 16 games. Justin Turner will step in for Devers at the hot corner in the series finale with Colorado.

Davis (ankle) was not placed on the injured list prior to the Giants' game versus the Cardinals on Wednesday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Davis suffered a sprained right ankle in Tuesday's contest in St. Louis and is not in Wednesday's lineup. The injury could still ultimately result in an IL move, but the Giants have decided to push that decision back until Friday.

The Tigers announced Wednesday that Kreidler (knee) recently underwent core-muscle surgery, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Kreidler was placed on Triple-A Toledo's 7-day injured list April 28 due to knee soreness, but he was cleared to begin a rehab assignment with High-A West Michigan just under a month later. He played in five games in the Midwest League before being pulled off the assignment two weeks ago, presumably on account of the core-muscle injury. Kreidler is in the midst of daily treatment and is taking part in physical therapy following the recent procedure, but he's without a clear timeline to resume playing in games.

Lewis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Since making his 2023 debut with the Twins on May 29, Lewis has been holding his own in the big leagues, slashing .318/.318/.477 over his first 44 plate appearances. However, because he's returning from the second ACL tear to his right knee of his young professional career, the Twins seem to be managing his workload somewhat conservatively. Despite getting a breather for Saturday's 9-4 win over the Blue Jays, Lewis will get another chance to rest up for the day game just four days later. Donovan Solano will spell Lewis at third base in the series finale with Milwaukee.

Davis (ankle) is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Cardinals, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Davis left Tuesday's contest early with a sprained right ankle and his status is up in the air moving forward. Manager Gabe Kapler said after the game that he wasn't sure if Davis would need to be placed on the 10-day injured list or not, but David Villar was called up from Triple-A Sacramento and will start at third base in Wednesday's matchup with St. Louis.

The Brewers optioned Toro to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Toro hadn't started since June 6 and appeared in just one other game over the past week, so the Brewers deemed him expendable with the club needing to make room on the 26-man active roster for outfielder Raimel Tapia, who finalized a one-year deal Wednesday. During his two-week stay with Milwaukee, Toro went 4-for-8 with a home run and five RBI.

Farmer went 2-for-3 with a double and a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Brewers.

Getting the start at second base and batting seventh, Farmer chased Corbin Burnes from the game by leading off the seventh inning with his fourth homer of the season. The 32-year-old infielder has started only two of the last seven games, and with Edouard Julien getting a look at the keystone and Royce Lewis handling the hot corner, playing time will likely be scarce for Farmer despite his solid .270/.328/.393 slash line on the season.

Devers went 2-for-4 with a walk, two home runs and four RBI in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Rockies.

The star third baseman got the Red Sox on the board by taking Chase Anderson deep in the fourth inning for a two-run shot, then launched another two-run homer in the 10th off Matt Carasiti. Unfortunately for Boston, Colorado had scored three times in the top of the 10th. Devers has gone yard four times in the last five games, but a feast-or-famine June that has seen him fail to collect a hit in six of his 13 games has left him with a .250/.351/.563 slash line on the month to date.

Devers went 2-for-4 with a walk, two home runs and four RBI in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to Colorado.

Devers launched his third and fourth homers over the last five games, giving him 17 home runs and an MLB-leading 56 RBI through 65 games. Prior to this recent outburst, the third baseman endured a power outage. Devers had gone 16 games without a home run and had a .230 slugging percentage in that span.

Giants manager Gabe Kapler said after Tuesday's 11-3 win over the Cardinals that it's unclear if Davis (ankle) will need a stint on the 10-day injured list, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Kapler said that one or both of Luis Matos and David Villar will be called up from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, as San Francisco will place Mitch Haniger on the injured list with a fractured forearm. It's widely been reported that Matos is heading to St. Louis to join the club, and Villar's potential promotion likely hinges on whether the club believes Davis can get back on the field in the coming days.
