  • Owen Caissie RF | MIA

    Marlins' Owen Caissie: Pulled early Wednesday

    Caissie was removed from Wednesday's game against Seattle due to right calf tightness, Craig Mish of FanDuel Sports Network Florida reports.

  • Luis Rengifo LF | SD

    Padres' Luis Rengifo: Joins big club

    The Padres selected Rengifo's contract from Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday.

    With Samad Taylor (oblique) moving to the injured list Wednesday, the Padres will turn to Rengifo to bolster the club's infield depth. The 29-year-old was released by Milwaukee in June after slashing just .205/.280/.254 across 209 plate appearances, but he's gone 8-for-25 with two home runs, seven RBI and five runs scored in six games with El Paso since signing a minor-league deal with San Diego.

  • Samad Taylor LF | SD

    Padres' Samad Taylor: On injured list with oblique injury

    The Padres placed Taylor on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right oblique strain.

    Taylor was taken out of Tuesday's game early after tweaking his oblique, and although he said before Wednesday's contest that he was day-to-day, per Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune, the Padres will ultimately place him on the IL and keep him out through the All-Star break. Luis Rengifo was selected from Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move to replenish the Padres' bench depth.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Taking seat Wednesday

    Machado (foot) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Arizona.

    Machado was in a considerable amount of pain after fouling a ball off his foot Tuesday, so he'll get a rare day off Wednesday to recover. Sung-Mun Song will start at the hot corner with Machado on the bench, and Miguel Andujar will work as San Diego's designated hitter.

  • Ty France 1B | SD

    Padres' Ty France: Getting rest Wednesday

    France isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    France will miss a second consecutive start Wednesday after going just 1-for-16 with five strikeouts across his last four games. Gavin Sheets will start at first base while France sits, opening up left field for Jase Bowen.

  • Logan Webb SP | SF

    Giants' Logan Webb: Ambushed by Jays on Wednesday

    Webb (5-7) took the loss Wednesday, giving up five runs on five hits and two walks over seven innings as the Giants got routed 10-0 by the Blue Jays. He struck out two.

    All five runs crossed the plate in the first inning, most of them on a Kazuma Okamoto grand slam, but Webb shook it off and gave his team six scoreless frames after that. The veteran right-hander exited after 106 pitches (72 strikes) and has now given up 12 runs across his last two starts after posting a 0.85 ERA over his six prior outings. Webb will head into the All-Star break with a 3.86 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 80:26 K:BB through 100.1 innings.

  • Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Sitting again Wednesday

    Goodman (wrist) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

    Goodman was a late scratch from the lineup Tuesday due to a jammed wrist suffered during a play at the plate Monday, and the injury will now officially cost him another start. Brett Sullivan will fill in at catcher and bat ninth Wednesday.

  • Andy Pages CF | LAD

    Dodgers' Andy Pages: Resting up Wednesday

    Pages isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

    After going 1-for-9 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored across the first two games of the series, Pages will retreat to the dugout to begin Wednesday's finale. Alex Call will fill the void in center field and bat eighth.

  • Dodgers' Dalton Rushing: On bench Wednesday

    Rushing isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Colorado, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

    Rushing will get a day off Wednesday after going 3-for-8 with a walk, an RBI and a pair of runs scored through the first two games of the series. Eliezer Alfonzo will take over at catcher and bat ninth.

  • Sal Frelick RF | MIL

    Brewers' Sal Frelick: Idle Wednesday

    Frelick isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

    Frelick will get a chance to catch his breath Wednesday after going 0-for-6 across both games of Tuesday's twin bill. Luis Lara will replace him as Milwaukee's right fielder and bat sixth.
