  • Miguel Rojas SS | LAD

    Dodgers' Miguel Rojas: Reinstated from IL

    The Dodgers reinstated Rojas (forearm) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

    Rojas landed on the injured list July 24 due to right forearm tightness, and he played in just one rehab game in Single-A. However, now back on the active roster, the 35-year-old will likely start at shortstop until Mookie Betts (hand) is able to return from the IL. James Outman was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.

  • Oneil Cruz SS | PIT

    Pirates' Oneil Cruz: Sitting again Wednesday

    Cruz (illness) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribunereports.

    The 25-year-old was held out of Tuesday's starting nine due to an illness and will sit for a second straight game Wednesday. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will receive another look at shortstop while Jared Triolo starts at second base with Cruz under the weather.

  • Marco Luciano SS | NYY

    Giants' Marco Luciano: On bench again Wednesday

    Luciano is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    After receiving a call-up from Triple-A Sacramento on July 30, Luciano made starts at designated hitter in five of the ensuing six games, but he went just 3-for-17 with eight strikeouts. His run as an everyday player may already be over, as Luciano is sitting for the third time in four games, including for the second time against a right-handed starting pitcher (Jake Irvin).

  • David Hamilton SS | MIL

    Red Sox's David Hamilton: Out versus southpaw

    Hamilton is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Royals, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

    The left-handed-hitting Hamilton will defer to the right-handed-hitting Romy Gonzalez at second base as the Royals send southpaw Cole Ragans to the hill. Hamilton will take a seat for the Red Sox's sixth straight matchup with a lefty.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Getting rest for second game of day

    Perdomo is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Guardians, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Perdomo made a fifth consecutive start in the first game of the day, going 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in the Diamondbacks' 7-3 win. He'll retreat to the bench for the nightcap while Kevin Newman receives a turn at shortstop.

  • Brayan Rocchio SS | CLE

    Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: On bench for second game of day

    Rocchio is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Diamondbacks.

    Rocchio made his fifth start in six games in the Guardians' 7-3 loss earlier in the day, going 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI. Though his playing time seems to be trending up, Rocchio had posted an .553 OPS since the All-Star break heading into Wednesday, so he doesn't yet seem to have recaptured a full-time role at shortstop. He'll give way to Tyler Freeman in the nightcap.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Taking seat for second game of day

    Schneemann is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Diamondbacks.

    With lefty Eduardo Rodriguez on the mound for Arizona for the second contest of the day, the lefty-hitting Schneemann will retreat to the bench. Schneemann started at third base in the Guardians' 7-3 loss earlier in the day, going 1-for-2 with a base hit.

  • Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL

    Padres' Ha-Seong Kim: Out again Wednesday

    Kim (triceps) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Pittsburgh, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Kim will miss a second straight start while dealing with soreness in his right triceps. The Padres are considering the infielder day-to-day. Tyler Wade will garner another start at shortstop Wednesday in Kim's stead.

  • Max Schuemann 2B | NYY

    Athletics' Max Schuemann: Long starting streak ends

    Schuemann is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

    For the first time since June 30, Schuemann will exit the starting nine and give way at shortstop to Darell Hernaiz, who was recently reinstated from the injured list. Schuemann took over as the Athletics' everyday shortstop shortly after Hernaiz was placed on the IL in mid-May, and though prospect Jacob Wilson was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas on July 19 and was expected to threaten Schuemann's standing atop the depth chart, Wilson strained his hamstring in his MLB debut and went on the IL two days later. While the Athletics have continued to deploy Schuemann near the bottom of the batting order, he's been able to maintain a regular role by getting on base at a .335 clip this season and providing a dash of speed (11 steals in 12 attempts).

  • Ryan Bliss SS | SEA

    Mariners' Ryan Bliss: Hitting well in minors

    Bliss owns a .308 average and .911 OPS with three doubles, three home runs, 12 RBI, five walks, seven stolen bases and seven runs over the 59 plate appearances he's logged with Triple-A Tacoma since being optioned July 22.

    Bliss had his moments during his near-two-month-long big-league stint earlier this season, posting a .220 average and .648 OPS across 67 plate appearances over 31 games. The 24-year-old is still striking out a similarly elevated level with the Rainiers -- he sports a 30.5 percent strikeout rate during his current minor-league tenure and produced a 31.3 percent figure in Seattle -- but as his numbers indicate, Bliss is boasting an extremely well-rounded offensive profile while benefiting from the Pacific Coast League's hitter-friendly conditions. There remains a possibility Bliss gets a September promotion, especially considering his defensive versatility.
