Jordan Westburg 2B | BAL
Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Exits starting nine
Westburg is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Westburg missed a game last week with an upper-body issue but had started each of the previous three contests. His absence from Wednesday's lineup appears to be a routine day off. Ramon Urias will start at third base and bat ninth for the Orioles.

Mauricio Dubon 2B | ATL
Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Back on bench Wednesday
Dubon is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
With Brendan Rodgers (hip) making his return to the lineup Wednesday, Dubon will shift back into a utility role. Dubon had started at second base in each of the previous three games while Rodgers was out, going 3-for-8 with a double, two walks, two runs, an RBI and two stolen bases.

Brendan Rodgers 2B | BOS
Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Back in lineup Wednesday
Rodgers (hip) will start at second base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game versus the Cardinals.
It's Rodgers' first start in a week, as he's been dealing with a hip issue. He did make one pinch-hitting appearance during that stretch and is well enough to return to the lineup for Wednesday's series finale.

Brendan Rodgers 2B | BOS
Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Out of lineup again Tuesday
Rodgers (hip) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest in St. Louis, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Rodgers hasn't started a game since April 9 because of a left hip injury. He did appear as a pinch hitter in Monday's game and presumably will be available off the bench again Tuesday. Mauricio Dubon is starting at second base Tuesday for the third game in a row.

Brooks Baldwin SS | CHW
White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Out of Tuesday's lineup
Baldwin is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics.
Baldwin has been serving in a super-utility role for the White Sox but will begin Tuesday's festivities on the bench. He's seen most of his action in the corner-outfield spots lately, but Chicago will go with Michael Taylor in left field and Joshua Palacios in right field Tuesday.

Jackson Holliday SS | BAL
Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Sitting versus lefty
Holliday is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.
With lefty Logan Allen on the mound for Cleveland, Holliday is taking a seat, and Jorge Mateo is making the start at second base and batting ninth for Baltimore. Holliday has received just nine plate appearances against left-handed pitching this season, registering a pair of singles, two RBI and a 1:3 BB:K. Holliday should draw back into the lineup Wednesday against right-hander Gavin Williams.
