Marcano isn't starting the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Marcano is resting after he went 0-for-4 with a strikeout during the first game of the twin bill. Jack Suwinski will start in left field and bat sixth.

Abrams is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

With southpaw Jordan Montgomery on the bump, the lefty-hitting Abrams will give way to Ildemaro Vargas at shortstop. Abrams started each of the past five games and went 7-for-20 to bring his batting average up to .226 for the season.

Berti isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Berti returned from a hip injury Tuesday and went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts. He'll head back to the bench while Charles Leblanc starts at second base and leads off.

Bogaerts (back) isn't starting Wednesday against the Orioles, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Bogaerts exited Tuesday's loss to the Rays due to back spasms and was expected to sit for Wednesday's series finale. He'll officially be out of the lineup while Enrique Hernandez starts at shortstop and leads off.

Crawford isn't starting Wednesday against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area

Crawford recorded hits in four of the last five games and went 4-for-15 with a homer, four RBI and three runs during that time. Thairo Estrada is starting at shortstop and batting fifth Wednesday.

Velazquez (undisclosed) is starting Wednesday against the Tigers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Velazquez was scratched from Tuesday's lineup but will start at shortstop and bat ninth a day later. Over his last four games, he's gone 0-for-9 with a run, a stolen base, a walk and four strikeouts.

Bichette went 4-for-5 with a double, a two-run home run and four total runs scored in Tuesday's 9-6 loss to the Orioles.

One day after he launched three homers in the nightcap of Monday's doubleheader, Bichette continued to punish the baseball. The 24-year-old might be the hottest hitter in the league right now with five multi-hit efforts in his last six games, a stretch in which he's batting .593 (16-for-27) with three doubles, five homers and 14 RBI.

Chang went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Chang continues to occupy primarily a small-side platoon role for the Rays, as eight of his 10 starts since Aug. 20 have come with southpaws on the mound. However, it was righty Eduard Bazardo that Chang took yard in the sixth inning to record his fourth homer of the season. He owns a .216/.280/.324 line across 164 plate appearances on the season.

Grissom went 4-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Athletics.

Grissom produced four singles Tuesday, most notably ripping a two-run base knock in the first frame that drove in teammates Dansby Swanson and Matt Olson. He later came around to score in the fifth inning after singling earlier in the frame. The multi-hit effort was his first in his last 11 games, but he now owns a .337 average with four homers, 14 RBI, 19 runs and four stolen bases over his first 92 career at-bats.

Duran went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 4-3 win over Houston.

Duran snapped a six-game streak without an RBI when he doubled home a pair of runs in the second inning. The rookie infielder has 25 RBI over 57 games.
