Rojas was removed from Wednesday's win over the Diamondbacks due to dehydration, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas went 1-for-4 before being pulled for a pinch hitter during the ninth inning. He'll have Thursday's scheduled off day to aid in his recovery and should be available for Friday's series opener versus Milwaukee.

Wendle was removed in the bottom of the third inning of Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks with right hamstring tightness, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Wendle made his presence felt at the plate before departing with the injury, going 2-for-2 with a two-run home run to give the Marlins an early lead. Erik Gonzalez came on to replace Wendle, who can be viewed as day-to-day heading into the Marlins' weekend series with the Brewers.

Mateo will start at shortstop and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Originally scheduled to receive Wednesday's game off, Mateo will enter the starting nine after the Orioles scratched Ryan Mountcastle (undisclosed). Mateo will put a six-game hitting streak on the lineup in the penultimate game of the series in St. Louis.

Seager went 2-for-3 with a pair of solo home runs and a walk in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Royals.

The pair of long balls -- Seager's fifth and sixth of the season -- helped break an 0-for-15 slump at the plate over his last four games. He'll look to keep the momentum going Wednesday, when he'll start at shortstop and bat third for the Rangers.

Crawford (back) went 0-for-4 with an RBI sacrifice fly in a win over the Phillies on Tuesday.

The veteran shortstop was back in the lineup after missing two games with back spasms and recorded his first RBI since May 1. Despite the fact he's mired in a 4-for-23 slump over his last seven games, Crawford still sports an elite .327/.417/.525 slash line over his first 120 plate appearances.

Mateo isn't starting Wednesday against the Cardinals, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Mateo is in the midst of a six-game hitting streak in which he's hit .304 with a homer, a triple, two doubles, four runs, two RBI and two stolen bases. He'll get a breather while Chris Owings starts at shortstop and bats ninth.

Camargo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Since Didi Gregorius (knee) was placed on the injured list, Camargo and Bryson Stott have split work at shortstop. After going 0-for-3 with a walk and three strikeouts in Tuesday's 5-4 loss, Camargo will cede the start at the position to Stott in the series finale.

Ahmed isn't starting Wednesday's game against Miami.

Ahmed has hit just .091 with three runs, two RBI, two walks and six strikeouts over his last seven games, and he'll be on the bench for the second time in the last three matchups. Geraldo Perdomo will start at shortstop and bat eighth.

The Royals revealed Wednesday that Mondesi (knee) underwent successful surgery last week, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Mondesi was diagnosed with a torn ACL in late April, and he'll now begin his lengthy recovery process following his successful procedure. The 26-year-old is expected to require 6-to-9 months to recover, so he'll likely miss the remainder of the season. Nicky Lopez has served as Kansas City's primary shortstop since Mondesi sustained his injury.

Story batted sixth and went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 9-4 win over Atlanta.

Story was dropped to sixth in the order amid a 1-for-16 slump that's included 10 strikeouts and ornery fans at Fenway Park. It was the second time within the last week he's been dropped, and it appeared to help. Story padded Boston's two-run lead in the ninth inning when he laced a two-run single with the bases loaded -- the latest sign the second baseman's bat may be emerging from a season-opening slumber. "Good at-bats, good swing, good path. It's just one of those, he had the bases loaded at the end," Red Sox manager Alex Cora told Christopher Smith of MassLive.com. "Like I said before, that's the nature of the game. But I think overall, a lot of good at-bats." Story is one of several struggling hitters on a team that entered Tuesday's contest averaging 3.3 runs per game.
