Bauers is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Orioles.

Bauers will hit the bench Friday with right-hander Tyler Wells on the mound for Baltimore. Rhys Hoskins will handle first base while Gary Sanchez receives a start at designated hitter.

Tellez is absent from the lineup for Friday's game versus the Phillies.

He will yield to Connor Joe at first base with the Phillies sending lefty Cristopher Sanchez to the hill. Tellez is 0-for-8 at the dish against left-handers this season.

Tellez is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Philadelphia.

Tellez hasn't always been on the bench against lefties this season, but he will be for this one against southpaw Ranger Suarez. Connor Joe is at first base and in the leadoff spot.

Toglia went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.

Toglia has carried over a power surge from spring training, as he has three home runs across only 26 plate appearances in the regular season. He is still in the Rockies' lineup on an irregular basis, though he has started six of the last 10 games after not starting in any of the team's first three games. Toglia could be working his way into a small-side platoon role, as two of his last three starts have come in right field with Charlie Blackmon sitting against a lefty.

Pages will be optioned to Triple-A Memphis prior to Friday's game in Arizona, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Pages was up briefly as catching protection for the Cardinals while a hand injury limited Willson Contreras to designated hitter duties. He struck out in his lone plate appearance in what was his major-league debut.

Busch went 1-for-2 with two walks and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 10-2 loss to the Padres.

The Cubs were fairly listless, managing just three total hits, and Busch's second home run of the year in the fourth inning provided all of the offense. The 26-year-old has been fairly solid so far in his first season in Chicago, posting an .850 OPS, seven RBI and the two long balls across 12 games. He'll continue to start most days against righty starters.

Hoskins is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Cincinnati.

Hoskins appears to be getting a routine day off. The Brewers will start Jake Bauers at first base and have Christian Yelich serve as their designated hitter Wednesday.

Gallo (wrist) will start at first base and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game in San Francisco, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Gallo was hit on the left wrist by a pitch in Tuesday's game, but X-rays came back negative and he's back in the lineup a day later. The 30-year-old is slashing .167/.302/.417 in his first 10 games with the Nationals.

Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

With left-hander Patrick Corbin on the mound for Washington, the lefty-hitting Wade will give way to platoon partner Wilmer Flores at first base in the series finale.

Goldschmidt is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Phillies, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

It's a routine day off for Goldschmidt, who has just one hit in his last four games and is sporting a .544 OPS so far this season. Alec Burleson will fill in for Goldschmidt at first base Wednesday.
