Newman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

He'll sit for the second day in a row and looks set to see a steep reduction in playing time moving forward after the Diamondbacks brought back top shortstop Geraldo Perdomo from the injured list Tuesday. Newman joined the Diamondbacks in the second week of the season following Perdomo's placement on the IL and hit .266 with two home runs and two stolen bases over 49 games.

Alexander is starting at third base Wednesday against the Angels, and Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said the utility infielder will see more opportunities at the position going forward, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Eugenio Suarez has worked as Arizona's everyday third baseman through the first two-plus months of the campaign, but he's struggled to a .575 OPS in 262 plate appearances. Wednesday's start is just Alexander's third at the hot corner this season, and his .279/.345/.403 slash line could be enough for him to seize a regular role. Lovullo wasn't clear how playing time will be split, but Suarez seems likely to still see at least fairly regular action.

Brujan is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Brujan closed the weekend with four straight starts in the infield, but the latter three came while both Tim Anderson and Otto Lopez were away from the team. Anderson has since been reinstated from the bereavement list and Lopez has come off the paternity list, so Brujan should settle back into a utility role for Miami.

Sosa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

Sosa will get a breather after he went 4-for-20 with three RBI and two runs while starting each of the Phillies' last six games at shortstop. Bryson Stott will move over from the keystone to cover shortstop in Sosa's stead, opening up second base for Whit Merrifield.

Wisely went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Astros.

Wisely evened the game up with a solo blast off Ronel Blanco in the third inning, though that wound up being the only run the Giants scored on the night. He's now tallied an RBI in back-to-back games, and it was his second homer since his callup May 11. The 25-year-old has given the Giants steady production at the plate against right-handed pitching, slashing .304/.322/.446 with four extra-base hits, nine RBI, seven runs and a 2:12 BB:K in 59 plate appearances.

Lopez went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Mets.

Batting sixth in his return from paternity leave, Lopez created an insurance run for the Marlins in the ninth inning nearly on his own -- he led off the frame with a single, stole second, took third on Francisco Alvarez's throwing error then scored on a sacrifice fly. Lopez extended his hitting streak to seven games in the process. Since taking over the starting job at second base in early May, he's slashing .296/.322/.395 over 24 contests with two homers, four steals, seven runs and 16 RBI.

Lawlar went 3-for-6 with a double, a home run, three RBI and two runs scored for Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

Lawlar, who was activated off the injured list and assigned to Reno on Tuesday, made his season debut with the Aces and flirted with a cycle. He doubled in his first at-bat then homered in the fifth inning. Lawlar was introduced to Triple-A in 2023, when he posted a .358/.438/.612 line over 16 games before making his MLB debut last September.

Perdomo (knee) went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 9-4 victory over the Angels.

Perdomo was activated off the injured list Tuesday and took back his spot at shortstop. His return means less work for Kevin Newman and Blaze Alexander, both of whom remained on the roster following Perdomo's activation.

Ahmed (wrist) returned to Triple-A Sacramento's lineup for Tuesday's game versus Reno and went 0-for-4.

Ahmed was pulled off of his rehab assignment after his first game June 1 due to a setback with his sprained left wrist. The shortstop is rehabbing alongside Marco Luciano (hamstring), though there's no guarantee either player will have a starting job waiting for them once cleared to return to the majors.

Luciano (hamstring) went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in Triple-A Sacramento's game versus Reno on Tuesday.

This game marked the beginning of Luciano's rehab assignment after he landed on the injured list May 31. The infielder played second base for Sacramento, with Nick Ahmed (wrist) also on a rehab assignment and occupying shortstop. Given the timeline of those two players rehabbing together, it's possible Luciano stays at Triple-A once healthy, as the Giants likely value Brett Wisely's versatility a bit more for the major-league roster.
