Pages is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Pages went 3-for-6 with a walk, two doubles, an RBI and a run in the first two games of the series but will sit for Wednesday's finale. Kevin Kiermaier will start in center field and bat ninth.

Smith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Smith started the first two games of the series but will sit for the finale after going 0-for-8 with an RBI and three strikeouts. Austin Barnes will step in behind the plate to catch for righty Gavin Stone.

Pham is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Pham produced a 1.060 OPS while starting each of the last seven games, but he'll pick up some rest Wednesday while Brendan Donovan checks in for him in left field. So long as he's wielding a hot bat, Pham should be in store for a regular spot in the St. Louis lineup, especially while fellow outfielder Michael Siani (oblique) is on the shelf.

Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Alec Burleson will step in at first base while Goldschmidt exits the starting lineup for the first time since July 13, when he hit the bench for the first game of a doubleheader. After his bat had begun to heat up coming out of the All-Star break, Goldschmidt has started slumping again; he's gone 0-for-7 with seven punchouts against three walks over his last five games.

Pages is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Pages had started in each of the last three games while the Cardinals faced left-handed pitchers, but he'll retreat to the bench Wednesday as the Rays send right-hander Taj Bradley to the bump. Willson Contreras will step back in behind the plate after serving as the Cardinals' designated hitter in each of the last three contests.

Rosario is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Atlanta is facing a right-handed starter (Freddy Peralta) for the ninth game in a row Wednesday, but the lefty-hitting Rosario will give way to the right-handed-hitting Adam Duvall for the first time during that stretch. Manager Brian Snitker might have just wanted to get Duvall some work to keep him sharp at the plate, but Rosario hasn't done much to justify maintaining a strong-side platoon role. Since joining Atlanta on July 8, Rosario is slashing .154/.181/.282 with a 27.4 percent strikeout rate.

Frelick is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

The lefty-hitting Frelick will head to the bench for the second time in three games while the Brewers face off against another southpaw (Chris Sale). Blake Perkins will take Frelick's spot in the outfield, manning center while batting seventh.

Turang is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

The lefty-hitting Turang will retreat to the bench for the second time in three games while Atlanta sends a lefty (Chris Sale) to the bump. Andruw Monasterio will replace Turang at second base.

The Dodgers placed Graterol on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a Grade 3 right hamstring strain.

Graterol suffered the injury while making his season debut Tuesday, and although he hasn't yet been ruled out for the rest of the season, the timing and severity of his strain leave him with a very slim chance of pitching again in 2024. His spot on the active roster will be given to Michael Grove (ribs), who returned from the IL on Wednesday.

Bauers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

The Brewers are facing off against a left-hander (Chris Sale) for the fourth time in six games, and the lefty-hitting Bauers has found himself on the bench for each of those contests. He still looks to have a hold on a strong-side platoon role while Christian Yelich (back) is on the shelf, but Bauers will cede his spot in the lineup to Gary Sanchez on Wednesday.
