The Marlins activated Fairbanks (hand) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

As expected, Fairbanks required only a minimum 15-day absence while recovering from medial nerve irritation in his pitching hand. The right-hander did not make any rehab appearances, but he will likely immediately be thrown back into the closer role after a relatively brief absence.

Bohm is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Bohm will get a day off as the Phillies take on Astros righty Hunter Brown. Kyle Schwarber is grabbing a start at first base for Philadelphia.

Vivas is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in San Diego.

The left-handed-swinging Vivas typically starts against right-handers, but he will begin Wednesday's game on the bench while the Padres send veteran righty Walker Buehler to the hill. CJ Abrams is handling second base for the Nationals on Wednesday.

Ortiz is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Padres.

Righty Walker Buehler will be on the bump for the Padres, marking a rare occasion in which the left-handed-hitting Ortiz is not starting against a right-handed hurler. Yohandy Morales will play first base and will bat fifth for the Nationals.

House is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Diego.

House will receive a day of rest after starting each of the previous five contests at third base. Andres Chaparro will cover the hot corner and will bat third as the Nationals look to avoid their seventh consecutive loss.

Zastryzny (shoulder) has been sent to Triple-A Nashville to begin a rehab assignment, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Zastryzny hasn't pitched for the Brewers this season because of shoulder and intercostal injuries and has encountered multiple starts and stops on his rehab. He's ready to give it another go again in what will be his first game appearance in more than two months. Zastryzny could become an option for the Brewers' bullpen later this month if all goes well.

Whisenhunt will undergo Tommy John surgery Sept. 16, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

It had already been reported that Whisenhunt would have surgery to repair his left elbow UCL, and now it's been revealed that he will have a full Tommy John repair. The left-hander is likely to be sidelined until the 2028 campaign.

The Nationals recalled Yean from Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday.

He'll grab the roster and bullpen spot vacated by Zak Kent, who was optioned following Tuesday's game. Yean has made seven relief appearances for the Nationals this season, permitting only two runs with a 6:2 K:BB covering 10 innings of work.

Cronenworth is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Nationals.

He's getting a routine day off after starting each of the previous six games. Fernando Tatis will net a start at second base, and Jase Bowen will play right field for the Padres in the series finale.

Salas is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Salas is absent from the lineup for the second day in a row and has started only three of eight contests since being called up. The Padres are facing a fifth lefty (Jackson Kent) during that stretch Wednesday, which has contributed to Salas' lack of playing time. He's been in the batting order twice in three tilts versus righties. Luis Campusano will be behind the plate for the Padres on Wednesday.
