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.

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.

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.

Springer went 1-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 10-0 rout of the Giants.

Back in the lineup for the first time since June 30, Springer went back-to-back with Vladimir Guerrero in the ninth inning off Ryan Walker to put an exclamation point on the Blue Jays' offensive outburst. Springer picked up right where he left off prior to being away from the team due to the birth of his child -- over his last 14 games in June, he slashed .281/.333/.439 with two homers, three steals, five RBI and eight runs.

Guerrero went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 10-0 win over the Giants.

The first baseman snapped a 17-game homer drought, launching just his fifth long ball of the season in the ninth inning off Ryan Walker. Guerrero's had a rough first half -- during that 17-game drought, he managed a weak .194/.250/.226 slash line with only two doubles and five RBI -- but Wednesday's blast could help take some of the pressure off just ahead of the All-Star break.

Cease (6-4) picked up the win Wednesday in a 10-0 rout of the Giants, scattering one hit and three walks over eight scoreless innings. He struck out 11.

The right-hander took a no-hitter into the ninth inning, but Heliot Ramos broke it up with a leadoff single, ending Cease's afternoon at 118 pitches (81 strikes). It was his sixth start of the season with double-digit strikeouts, and Cease heads into the All-Star break with a 2.56 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and an American League-leading 148 strikeouts in just 98.1 innings. He's on the short list to get the start for the AL in the All-Star Game.

Kwan is not in the Guardians' starting lineup against the Twins on Wednesday.

The Twins are sending southpaw Connor Prielipp to the mound, and Kwan has struggled against left-handers this season, slashing .165/.287/.200 with five RBI across 102 plate appearances. With Kwan on the bench, the Guardians will start David Fry, Kahlil Watson and Chase DeLauter in the outfield from left to right.

Bailey is not in Cleveland's starting lineup against Minnesota on Wednesday.

Bailey will get a breather while Austin Hedges starts behind home plate to do the catching for right-hander Slade Cecconi. Bailey is slashing .179/.232/.250 with two home runs and 12 RBI across 182 plate appearances this season.

Jansen (forearm) played catch Wednesday for the first time in two weeks, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Jansen noted that the plan for him moving forward is to throw every other day and see how his right forearm responds. He has been on the 10-day injured list since June 6 due to a right forearm strain, which has allowed Elias Diaz to surpass Kyle Higashioka as the Rangers' primary catcher in Jansen's absence.

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.
