McCoy is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in St. Louis, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

McCoy had made seven straight starts at shortstop as the Padres deal with the loss of Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder), but he will begin Thursday's game on the bench. Tyler Wade will get the nod at shortstop for San Diego and will bat ninth.

Betts went 1-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Orioles.

Betts recorded an RBI single in the third before stealing second and eventually coming around to score on a three-run shot from Teoscar Hernandez. It marked the star utility man's second straight game with a steal, and he's now hit safely in four straight contests. Betts has also been a big run producer for the Dodgers as of late, racking up eight RBI over his last seven games while scoring three runs himself over that stretch. He's batting .276 in August with seven extra-base hits, 12 RBI and eight runs scored.

Rojas is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Rojas has an .831 OPS through 15 games in August but will sit Wednesday for the second time in Los Angeles' past three games. Tommy Edman will again shift to shortstop while Kevin Kiermaier starts in center field against Baltimore righty Corbin Burnes.

Abrams is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

Abrams went 0-for-8 with a couple strikeouts in the first two games of the series and will be given a day off in the finale. Nasim Nunez is getting a rare start at shortstop in Abrams' place, and rookie Dylan Crews will move up into the leadoff spot.

Tovar went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double and four total RBI in Tuesday's 9-8 loss to the Marlins.

Tovar had just one homer while batting .178 over his first 21 games in August. He sat out Monday due to a sports hernia, and it appears the rest did him some good, though it helps the Rockies are facing the Marlins. Tovar is up to 21 homers, 59 RBI, 71 runs scored, four stolen bases, 38 doubles and a .274/.298/.470 slash line through 128 contests overall. It wouldn't be surprising for Tovar to see more regular rest days if his sports hernia flares up again.

Adames went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Giants.

Adames has homered in back-to-back games and has gone 6-for-15 (.400) with four walks across his last four contests. The shortstop is batting .277 (23-for-83) in August and is up to a .253/.339/.455 slash line with 24 homers, 88 RBI, 76 runs scored and 14 stolen bases through 131 contests overall. Adames was mostly mediocre from May through July, but an everyday role and strong production in the counting stats throughout the year have given him a safe floor in fantasy.

Swanson went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and run, and two walks in Tuesday's 9-5 victory over Pittsburgh.

The Chicago shortstop extended his team's lead to 5-2 when he launched a 421-foot, two-run homer off Jared Jones in the fourth inning. Swanson later collected an additional RBI when he worked a bases-loaded walk against reliever Ben Heller. The 30-year-old has found a groove in August, hitting .276 (21-for-76) with three homers, 16 runs scored, 18 RBI and seven steals across 23 games after batting a paltry .219 through July 31.

Cruz went 4-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 9-5 loss to the Cubs.

The 25-year-old drew a start at designated hitter and collected his second four-hit performance of the season, with his first being a 5-for-5 effort on Aug. 2. Cruz has been red hot in August, hitting .383 (31-for-81) with a home run, a triple, eight doubles, 11 RBI and nine runs scored across 22 games. Overall, he is now slashing .271/.328/.473 with 18 homers and steals apiece in 488 plate appearances this season.

Reds manager David Bell said Tuesday that McLain (shoulder/rib) is still undergoing tests to determine the cause of the pain in his side, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

McLain encountered a roadblock in his recovery from left shoulder surgery when he went down with a stress reaction in his rib cage earlier this month. He had resumed baseball activities but evidently at some point was shut down again. Bell noted that the testing McLain is going through is nearly finished and the infielder could resume swinging a bat again soon. There could still be time for McLain to make it back before the end of the season, but he can't afford any more setbacks.

Tovar (sports hernia) will start at shortstop and bat second in Tuesday's game versus the Marlins.

Tovar missed Monday's game while dealing with a sports hernia, but it wound up being just a one-day absence. The 23-year-old has struggled so far in August with just a .482 OPS.
