Stephenson went 2-for-4 with three RBI in Wednesday's 12-5 win over the Astros.

Stephenson capped the scoring in the Reds' nine-run first inning with a two-run single and later singled in a run in the third. The three-RBI game elevated him to a career-high 58 for the season.

Rogers isn't in Detroit's lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Rogers grab a seat on the bench Wednesday after going 0-for-3 during a loss in Tuesday's series opener. Dillon Dingler will start behind the dish instead and bat ninth.

Smith isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

The Dodgers will give Smith a chance to rest Wednesday after he went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts during Tuesday's series opener. Austin Barnes will catch instead for Bobby Miller and bat ninth.

Bailey isn't in the Giants' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

After going 3-for-17 with six strikeouts since returning from the injured list, Bailey will get a chance to rest Wednesday while Curt Casali starts behind the plate and bats ninth.

Higashioka isn't in the Padres' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

After going 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored during Tuesday's win, Higashioka will give way to Luis Campusano behind the plate Wednesday.

Contreras isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

Contreras will get a day to regroup Wednesday after going 0-for-14 with four strikeouts and five walks across his last four games. While he rests, Eric Haase will catch for right-hander Colin Rea and bat ninth.

Wells (hand) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Rangers.

Wells has now missed two starts in a row after being hit on the right hand by a pitch Monday. X-rays came back negative and he is likely aiming for a return Friday versus the Cubs following a team off day Thursday. Jose Trevino will do the catching again for the Yankees in Wednesday's series finale.

Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a two-run double and a second two-bagger in a loss to the Athletics on Tuesday.

One day after driving in two runs with his 28th homer in a series-opening loss, Raleigh was once again one of the few bright spots for the Mariners in a second consecutive defeat. The backstop's first-inning double drove home J.P. Crawford and Julio Rodriguez to open the scoring, and those would turn out to be the only runs of the night for the light-hitting Seattle lineup. Raleigh appears to have an outside chance at a 100-RBI campaign if he keeps up the timely knocks, as he's now sitting 16 RBI away from the triple-digit threshold with 23 games remaining.

The Royals outrighted Nola to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

Nola cleared waivers after being removed from the 40-man roster and will remain in the organization as catching depth. The 34-year-old has spent all of 2024 at Omaha, slashing just .158/.247/.301 line in 46 games.

O'Hoppe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 6-2 extra-inning loss to the Dodgers.

O'Hoppe opened the scoring in the second inning with a solo shot off Walker Buehler. Over the previous nine games, O'Hoppe went just 1-for-30 with a 1:18 BB:K. The catcher has put together a good year with 18 homers, 51 RBI, 53 runs scored, two stolen bases and a .242/.300/.409 slash line over 118 contests, but it's possible he's wearing down under a heavy workload in his first full and healthy major-league campaign.
