The Brewers recalled Hiura from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

Though Hiura will be back to provide the Brewers with another right-handed-hitting option off the bench, he might not be guaranteed a short-side platoon role. Albeit in a limited sample, Hiura has been far more effective against righties (.453 wOBA, 194 wRC+ in 79 plate appearances) than lefties (.238 wOBA, 48 wRC+ in 65 plate appearances) during his time with the big club this season.

France (wrist), who isn't starting Wednesday against the Yankees, is expected to return to the lineup Friday against the Angels, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

France is out of the lineup for a fourth consecutive game Wednesday but played catch on the field prior to the matchup. He'll have an additional day to rest since the Mariners don't play Thursday, but he should be back in action Friday.

Voit isn't starting Wednesday against the Mets.

Voit was dealt from the Padres to the Nationals on Tuesday, but he won't be in Washington's starting lineup a day later. According to Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post, Voit isn't yet in Washington and will instead join the team in Philadelphia for its upcoming four-game series with the Phillies, so he could make his Nationals debut as soon as Thursday. Joey Meneses will pick up a start at first base in Voit's stead Wednesday.

Santana went 1-for-3 with a double and three RBI in Tuesday's 8-6 win over the Yankees.

Santana drove in two runs on a fifth-inning double and plated another on a sacrifice fly. Since being acquired from the Royals in late June, Santana is slashing .183/.297/.376 across 29 games. He'll remain in the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale, manning first base and batting cleanup.

Gurriel isn't starting Wednesday against the Red Sox, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Gurriel is in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak in which he's hit .379 with four doubles, five runs, two RBI and three stolen bases. He'll get a breather while Trey Mancini starts at first base with Aledmys Diaz taking over in left field.

Calhoun isn't starting Wednesday against the Orioles.

Although right-hander Kyle Bradish is starting for Baltimore on Wednesday, Calhoun will head to the bench after going 1-for-14 with seen strikeouts over his last four games. Josh Smith is shifting to left field while Charlie Culberson enters the lineup at second base.

Naylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

With a southpaw (Tommy Henry) taking the hill for Arizona, the lefty-hitting Naylor will get a day off for the series finale. Owen Miller steps in at first base for Naylor, who returned from a three-game absence due to an ankle injury to start in the first two contests of the series with Arizona.

France (wrist) isn't starting Wednesday against the Yankees.

France will be held out of the lineup for a fourth consecutive matchup as he continues to deal with a wrist injury. Kyle Lewis is serving as the designated hitter and batting sixth.

Tellez went 2-for-3 with a double and a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-3 loss against the Pirates.

After Willy Adames hit a solo shot in the top of the sixth inning, Tellez followed immediately thereafter with a solo shot of his own. It was his 21st homer of the year and his third in five games. Since July 24, the first baseman is 8-for-26, taking his batting average from .227 to .236 in the process. Tellez has five runs and nine RBI during that span, along with six strikeouts.

Dalbec's status as an everyday player for the Red Sox is expected to come to an end soon after manager Alex Cora said that Eric Hosmer (neck) will "play a lot" following his acquisition from the Padres on Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Dalbec started Tuesday and and went 1-for-2 with walk in a win over the Astros. However, once Hosmer is ready to join the active roster, expect to see less of Dalbec, who should see most of his opportunities against left-handed pitching moving forward.
