Mangum was scratched for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Yankees due to right foot discomfort.

Per Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Mangum fouled a ball off his foot during the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader but stayed in the game to finish 2-for-5 with an RBI single in a 5-3 extra-inning win. The Pirates will have an update on Mangum's status after he undergoes further tests to determine the severity of the injury. Billy Cook will take over in center field and bat ninth.

Snell (elbow) tossed 1.1 innings in a minor-league rehab outing with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, allowing one hit and issuing one walk while striking out four batters on 32 total pitches.

The outing was Snell's first game action since his lone MLB appearance so far this season, May 9 versus Atlanta. After that start, the veteran lefty experienced elbow soreness and ultimately needed a NanoScope procedure to remove loose bodies. Snell resumed throwing in early June and has since been able to work his way back up to the rehab assignment. He's scheduled to make his next rehab appearance Friday, per MLB.com, and could be ready to return to the big-league club in early-to-mid August.

Giolito (elbow) has been throwing at San Diego's team complex in Arizona and may be close to facing hitters, MLB.com reports.

Giolito has been sidelined for the past month due to right elbow inflammation. The veteran hurler resumed throwing in late June and has progressed enough to potentially toss a live session soon. Giolito will likely need a minor-league rehab assignment before he's ready to return to the Padres, so it seems unlikely that he'll be back with the big club before the start of August.

Davis is not in the Pirates' starting lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Yankees.

Davis struck out in all three of his plate appearances in Wednesday's matinee -- a 5-3 extra-inning win for Pittsburgh -- and will be idle for the nightcap. Rafael Flores will start behind home plate and bat eighth while forming a battery with Bubba Chandler.

Ramirez is not in the Cubs' starting lineup against the Tigers on Wednesday.

Ramirez has gone 6-for-13 with three doubles and four RBI in his four games since the All-Star break. He'll be on the bench for the beginning of Wednesday's game while Michael Conforto serves as the Cubs' designated hitter and bats seventh.

Marsee is not in the Marlins' starting lineup against the Astros on Wednesday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Marsee has gone 1-for-13 with five strikeouts across four games since the All-Star break. He'll exit Wednesday's lineup while Esteury Ruiz starts in center field and bats ninth against Astros right-hander Peter Lambert.

Ohtani (knee) threw a bullpen session Wednesday at Citizens Bank Park, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Ohtani threw 31 pitches in the session and used his entire repertoire. It's the first time he's thrown off the mound since having his left knee drained and treated with a cortisone shot over the All-Star break. The next step for Ohtani isn't clear, but it's expected to be a few weeks before he's ready to make a start on the mound. Ohtani will continue serving as the Dodgers' designated hitter.

Sheets is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Atlanta.

The left-handed-hitting Sheets will hit the bench while Atlanta sends southpaw Martin Perez to the bump. Jase Bowen will spell Sheets in left field and will bat ninth.

Campusano will start at catcher and bat sixth in Wednesday's game versus Atlanta.

It's the second straight start and fourth start in six contests coming out of the All-Star break for Campusano, who might be emerging as the preferred option at catcher for the Padres. Campusano has put up an .865 OPS in 12 games this month since coming off the injured list.

Fermin is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Atlanta.

Fermin started the first game of the series at catcher, but it's been Luis Campusano behind the dish the last two days. With just two starts to Campusano's four since returning from the injured list, Fermin looks to have been passed on the Padres' catching depth chart.
