Ketel Marte 2B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Dealing with foot contusion
Marte was removed in the seventh inning of Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Giants due to a right foot contusion, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.
Marte was in noticeable discomfort after taking the field in the bottom of the seventh and exited the game with a trainer before the Giants came up to bat. The good news for the second baseman was that X-rays came back negative, and manager Torey Lovullo relayed after Wednesday's game that he believes Marte will be available for Friday's series opener against the Twins. If Marte needs more time to recover, Ildemaro Vargas would be a candidate to start at the keystone.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Not in Wednesday's lineup
Muncy is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Rockies on Wednesday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Muncy has gone 0-for-7 with a walk and a strikeout in his two games since returning from the 10-day injured list Monday. He'll begin Wednesday's game on the bench while Enrique Hernandez starts at the hot corner and bats ninth against Rockies southpaw Kyle Freeland.

Cubs' Matt Shaw: Scratched Wednesday
Shaw was scratched from the lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against Atlanta due to personal reasons, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Shaw will step out of the lineup for a day while he tends to a personal matter. In the meantime, Willi Castro will fill in at the hot corner for Chicago and bat eighth.

Reid Detmers SP | LAA
Angels' Reid Detmers: Exits with trainer
Detmers was removed from Wednesday's game against the Twins with a forearm injury, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
Detmers reportedly didn't like how the ball was coming out of his hand while on the mound Wednesday and felt something in his forearm, leading the Angels' training staff to pull the lefty after he gave up a double to James Outman in the eighth inning. The Halos should provide some clarity on the severity of Detmers' injury in the near future, but he can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Curtis Mead 3B | BOS
White Sox's Curtis Mead: On bench in Vargas' return
Mead is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
Mead had started in each of Chicago's previous 12 games, but he'll hit the bench while the White Sox welcome Miguel Vargas (wrist) back from the injured list. Given that he slashed a middling .255/.300/.362 over that 12-game stretch, Mead may not have made a compelling enough of a case for the White Sox to continue giving him everyday at-bats in the corner infield ahead of Mead and Lenyn Sosa. The right-handed-hitting Mead will likely continue to play regularly against left-handed pitching, however.

Jose Iglesias SS | SD
Padres' Jose Iglesias: X-rays return negative
Iglesias had X-rays on his left hand come back negative but is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
The veteran infielder exited Tuesday's contest after being hit by a pitch, but it appears he's avoided a serious injury. Iglesias said he'll be available off the bench Wednesday and should be considered day-to-day.

Ryan Ritter 2B | COL
Rockies' Ryan Ritter: Absent from Wednesday's lineup
Ritter (undisclosed) is not in the Rockies' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Wednesday.
Ritter left in the ninth inning of Monday's contest due to an unspecified injury and was withheld from the starting nine Tuesday. Orlando Arcia will start at the keystone and bat ninth in Wednesday's series finale.

Bobby Seymour 1B | TB
Rays' Bob Seymour: Losing hold on regular playing time
Seymour is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
Seymour will take a seat for the fourth game in a row, with three of his absences coming against right-handed pitching. He appears to have settled into a reserve role while the Rays give Richie Palacios a look as their primary option at first base. Since his Aug. 15 call-up from Triple-A Durham, Seymour has slashed .200/.238/.300 with a 38.1 percent strikeout rate in 42 plate appearances.

Brewers' William Contreras: Nursing bruised forearm
Contreras was held out of Wednesday's game against the Rangers due to a bruised forearm, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Contreras was initially in the Brewers' starting lineup after taking a pitch off his forearm Tuesday, but the team instead erred on the side of caution and subbed him out for Danny Jansen. Contreras will have an extra day off to rest before Milwaukee returns to play Friday versus St. Louis, at which point the Brewers will re-evaluate him.
