The Diamondbacks optioned Del Castillo to Triple-A Reno on Wednesday, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

Del Castillo will give up his spot on the 26-man active roster to Gabriel Moreno (personal), who was reinstated from the paternity list. After getting a call-up to Arizona following the All-Star break, Del Castillo went 7-for-25 with one steal and one RBI in eight games. He'll see more consistent playing time at Triple-A.

Bogaerts (foot) is starting at shortstop and batting sixth against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Bogaerts had X-rays on his foot come back negative after fouling a ball off his foot Tuesday, and the veteran shortstop has been cleared to play in Wednesday's contest. Bogaerts has reached base safely in six consecutive games, going 7-for-20 with two steals and two RBI in that span.

Baez isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

Baez will take a seat Wednesday after going 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored during Tuesday's win in the series opener. While Baez sits, Kevin McGonigle will start at shortstop, and Colt Keith will man the hot corner.

Painter will start Wednesday's game against the Nationals in Philadelphia.

The Phillies addressed their lineup and bullpen with the additions of second baseman Luis Arraez, right-hander Caleb Kilian and left-hander Brooks Raley at the trade deadline, but they stood pat with their rotation. As a result, Painter will end up sticking around for another turn as the Phillies' fifth starter after he had a successful showing last weekend following his call-up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. For just the third time in 15 big-league outings, Painter hit six innings in Friday's loss to the Orioles, giving up two earned runs on three hits and three walks while striking out six.

May is expected to make his first start for the Brewers on Thursday against the Pirates in Milwaukee, Sophia Minnaert of Brewers.tv reports.

Milwaukee acquired May and left-hander JoJo Romero (appendectomy) from St. Louis on Monday in exchange for outfielders Alexander Frias and Josiah Ragsdale. During his time in St. Louis, May posted a 5-7 record, 4.38 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 106:35 K:BB over 109 innings across 21 starts.

Manager Derek Shelton said Wednesday that Ryan is scheduled to undergo further evaluation for a lower-body injury, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Shelton said that Ryan's injury has left him physically unable to replicate his delivery, which helps to explain why the 30-year-old has given up 16 earned runs in just 15.1 innings since the All-Star break. It remains unclear what exactly he's dealing with, but his next start -- lined up for Sunday against the Brewers -- is in jeopardy as the team waits for a diagnosis.

Tena will start at designated hitter and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Tena will be included in the lineup for a fifth consecutive matchup versus a right-handed pitcher (Andrew Painter) and looks poised to hold down a strong-side platoon role at DH after James Wood (oblique) was placed on the injured list Tuesday. For the season, Tena has slashed .230/.291/.374 in 203 plate appearances versus righties.

McNeil will start at first base and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Reds.

McNeil will be included in the lineup for a third straight game and appears to have reclaimed a regular starting role against right-handed pitching in the wake of Nick Kurtz's (thumb) move to the injured list. The 34-year-old has been dialed in at the dish since the All-Star break, slashing .413/.438/.522 with one home run, two steals, nine RBI and six runs in 15 games.

Cortes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

The Athletics have been shielding the left-handed-hitting Cortes against left-handed pitching, but he'll take a seat against a righty (Rhett Lowder) on Wednesday after going 0-for-4 with a walk while starting the previous two contests. Jacob Wilson will get a break from playing shortstop but will remain in the lineup as Cortes' replacement at designated hitter.

Arenado is not in the Diamondbacks' starting lineup against the Padres on Wednesday, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

Arenado will get a breather after going 2-for-7 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored over the first two games of the series against San Diego. Tim Tawa will draw the start at third base Wednesday and bat fifth.
