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.

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.

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.

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.
