Correa is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Mariners.

Correa sits for just the second time since returning from a back injury Aug. 10. He's hit a miserable .174/.257/.223 with just one homer over that stretch. Marwin Gonzalez will move in to play shortstop in Correa's absence.

Reyes went 2-for-5 and threw a runner out at home plate in Tuesday's win over the Royals.

He's already played four spots around the diamond, positioning himself nicely for the team's super-sub role in 2019. Reyes, 25, slashed .284/.337/.421 with eight homers and 16 stolen bases in the minors. He's collected 10 hits in 23 at-bats in his September debut for Pittsburgh.

Baez went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and two strikeouts in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Baez got the scoring started early, smashing a two-run home run in the first inning. The 25-year-old is firmly in the mix for the NL MVP with 33 home runs, 107 RBI, 21 stolen bases and a .295/.329/.571 slash line.

Wendle went 4-for-5 with two doubles, a run and an RBI in Tuesday's win over the Rangers.

Wendle slashed an RBI double in the fourth inning and later hit another double, giving him 27 two-baggers on the season. The 28-year-old is hitting .298/.347/.432 with seven home runs, 53 RBI and 55 runs scored while going 13-for-17 in stolen-base attempts on the year.

Adames went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a win over the Rangers on Tuesday.

Adames got the scoring started with a two-run homer -- his 10th of the year -- off Yovani Gallardo in the fourth inning. It was the second home run in three games for Adames, and his fourth straight game with a hit. He's now slashing .267/.333/.414 with 28 RBI, 39 runs and six stolen bases in 251 at-bats this season.

Story (elbow) underwent an MRI on Tuesday and manager Bud Black said, "there's some inflammation and a little bit of soreness around the joint but the ligament seems to be fine."

Story exited Monday's game with right elbow soreness and there was fear earlier Tuesday that he may have suffered damage to the UCL, but thankfully he appears to be dealing with a less severe issue. The 25-year-old is without an official timetable for his return at this point but will hopefully be able to return within a few days.

Story (elbow) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Jenny Cavnar of AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.

Garrett Hampson starts at shortstop after Story injured his elbow Monday night. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported earlier Tuesday that Story may have UCL damage. The Rockies are expected to provide an update around 7:30 PT.

Crawford is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Padres, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Crawford finds himself on the bench following a string of eight consecutive starts during which he slashed .226/.226/.323 with a homer and a stolen base. Kelby Tomlinson is starting at shortstop and batting leadoff in his place.

DeJong went 2-for-5 with a double and a two-run home run in a win over the Braves on Monday.

DeJong was one of four Cardinals to leave the yard in Monday's offensive explosion. The shortstop has hit 10 of his 18 homers on the season since the All-Star-break, but his .285 on-base percentage in the second half represents a 56-point drop from the figure he generated before the Midsummer Classic.

Arcia is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Reds.

Arcia will hit the bench after starting the last three games at shortstop, going 2-for-8 with a pair of doubles and an RBI over that stretch. Jonathan Schoop will cover shortstop in his absence.
