Vientos is not in the Mets' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Wednesday.

Vientos has not recorded a hit over his last seven games, going 0-for-23 with eight strikeouts and a sacrifice fly over that span. He'll be on the bench for Wednesday's game while Brett Baty starts at first base and bats third.

Trammell is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

After getting called up from Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday, Trammell has started in three of the Astros' ensuing six games while going a collective 4-for-13 with a double, two walks, three RBI and two runs. He'll likely be part of a timeshare in center field with Joey Loperfido until Jake Meyers (oblique) is ready to return from the injured list.

Altuve is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

Per Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle, manager Joe Espada said that Altuve's absence from the lineup is a routine rest day after the 35-year-old infielder started each of Houston's first 18 games. Isaac Paredes will spell Altuve at second base and will bat third.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters that Ohtani will start on the mound against the Mets on Wednesday but will not serve as the team's designated hitter, Buster Olney of ESPN reports.

The decision to have Ohtani out of the lineup was tied to when he was hit by a David Peterson pitch during Monday's game against New York, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Ohtani has gone 0-for-7 with one run scored over his last two outings and will have the opportunity to focus solely on pitching during Wednesday's contest. Dalton Rushing will serve as the Dodgers' designated hitter and bat seventh while Kyle Tucker moves up to the leadoff spot.

Kolek (oblique) allowed no runs on three hits and a walk over four innings during a rehab start with Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday. He struck out two.

Kolek made the first start of his rehab assignment as he works his way back from a Grade 1 left oblique strain suffered in spring training. The right-hander threw 54 pitches (36 strikes) and maintained a fastball velocity of 94.3 mph, in line with his previous levels. The 28-year-old should continue to build up his workload for another couple rehab outings before being activated from the injured list, though he may be ticketed to remain at Triple-A upon activation with no clear opening in the big-league rotation.

Doyle is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

With Doyle taking a seat for the third time in eight games, Jake McCarthy will pick up a start in center field. Though Doyle's status as a two-time Gold Glove Award winner aids his playing-time outlook, his poor form at the plate to begin the season could continue to cost him a couple starts per week. He's batting just .188 with two extra-base hits and a career-worst 37.7 percent strikeout rate over 53 plate appearances.

Del Castillo went 2-for-5 with a triple, a home run and five RBI in Wednesday's 8-5 extra-inning win over the Orioles.

Getting the start at catcher and batting cleanup, Del Castillo nearly slugged a homer to left-center field in the third inning, instead settling for his first career triple. The 26-year-old left no doubt in the top of the 10th when he crushed a Tyler Wells fastball 420 feet to right-center for a two-run blast that broke open a 5-5 tie. It was Del Castillo's first long ball of the season, and through his first seven games of 2026 he's batting .346 (9-for-26) with 10 RBI.

Karros is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Willi Castro will cover third base while Karros receives a breather Wednesday. Karros had started in each of the Rockies' previous four games, going 2-for-11 with two walks and a run.

White (foot) is available off Atlanta's bench against Miami on Wednesday, Barrett Sallee of 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

White has not appeared in a game since April 7 due to plantar fasciitis. He's progressed enough in his recovery to be available for Wednesday's game but could be in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the Phillies. White has gone 2-for-13 (.154) with two RBI to open the 2026 season.

Morillo struck out one in a perfect 10th inning Wednesday to record his first save of the season in an 8-5 win over the Orioles.

Paul Sewald had pitched the night before and Kevin Ginkel and Ryan Thompson threw three innings between them to help get Wednesday's afternoon contest to extra innings, so Morillo was the next man up for a save chance when Arizona scored three runs in the top of the 10th. The 27-year-old right-hander breezed through the middle of Baltimore's order on just 10 pitches (seven strikes) to get the job done. Morillo's high-90s fastball and slider-changeup combo seem tailor made for high-leverage work, and he's rising up the pecking order in the Diamondbacks bullpen on the strength of a 3.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 8:4 K:BB through nine innings.
