  • Luis Garcia 1B | NYY

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Not in lineup for first game

    Garcia is absent from the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Tigers.

    The left-handed-hitting Garcia will sit out the first game of the day, but he should be back in the lineup for the nightcap against right-hander Jack Flaherty. Amed Rosario will start at second base and bat third in the matinee.

  • Caleb Durbin 3B | BOS

    Brewers' Caleb Durbin: Sitting out first game of twin bill

    Durbin is absent from the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Mets.

    Durbin will get some rest for the first game of the twin bill but should return to the lineup for the nightcap. Anthony Seigler will start at third base and bat ninth in his major-league debut in the early game.

  • Rhys Hoskins 1B | CLE

    Brewers' Rhys Hoskins: Not in lineup for first game

    Hoskins is absent from the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets.

    The Brewers will go with Jake Bauers at first base in Wednesday's matinee. Hoskins will be available off the bench and should be back in the lineup for the nightcap.

  • Marcell Ozuna DH | PIT

    Braves' Marcell Ozuna: Expected to play Wednesday

    Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said that Ozuna dealt with cramping during Tuesday's game versus the Angels but should be back in the lineup Wednesday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

    Ozuna was not removed from Tuesday's contest despite looking uncomfortable, and it appears he will be back in there Wednesday for the second game of the series. He's dealt with a nagging hip issue, as well, and while Ozuna has started every game since April 18, he's slashed just .181/.254/.276 since the beginning of June.

  • Joe Mack C | MIA

    Marlins' Joe Mack: Goes yard twice for Jacksonville

    Mack went 4-for-4 with two home runs, three runs scored and four RBI for Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

    All of a sudden, the 22-year-old catcher might be the hottest hitter in the International League. Over the last seven games, Mack has gone 16-for-29 (.552) with two doubles, five homers, nine runs and nine RBI. There's no room for him on the big-league roster right now, but Mack could rocket up prospect lists in the second half if he continues to rake.

  • Joey Bart C | CHW

    Pirates' Joey Bart: Sitting again in favor of Davis

    Bart is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Cardinals.

    Even with the Pirates and Cardinals wrapping up their series with a day game after a night game, Pittsburgh will go with Henry Davis at catcher for the second day in a row. Since returning from the injured list June 17, Bart has made eight starts to Davis' seven starts, but Davis has started behind the dish in three of the last four contests.

  • Ron Marinaccio RP | CIN

    Padres' Ron Marinaccio: Up as 27th man for doubleheader

    The Padres recalled Marinaccio from Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday.

    Marinaccio will serve as the 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader in Philadelphia. The right-hander was acquired by the Padres via trade over the offseason and has spent all of this season at El Paso, collecting a 4.70 ERA and 31:13 K:BB over 30.2 frames.

  • Brandon Marsh LF | PHI

    Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Resting in front end of twin bill

    Marsh is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Padres.

    Johan Rojas will cover center field in the first game of the day in place of Marsh, who had started in each of the Phillies' last six contests while going 5-for-19 with a double, two stolen bases, three runs and two RBI. Marsh will presumably return to the starting nine for the second game of the day.

  • Padres' Eduarniel Nunez: Added to MLB roster

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

    Nunez earned the call-up after posting a 2.70 ERA and 49:14 K:BB over 30 innings between Double-A San Antonio and El Paso. The 26-year-old will be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game.

  • Matt Waldron RP | WAS

    Padres' Matt Waldron: Sent down after spot start

    The Padres optioned Waldron to Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday.

    Waldron will head back to the minors after he permitted four runs over 4.2 innings Monday while taking a loss in a spot start versus the Phillies. San Diego called up right-hander Eduarniel Nunez to replace Waldron on the 26-man active roster.
