Garcia went 2-for-4 with a triple and a stolen base in Wednesday's 12-3 loss to the Padres.

Garcia snapped an 0-for-7 skid at the plate and also picked up his first steal since July 5. The infielder is up to 13 thefts on 16 attempts this season. He's added a .278/.308/.442 slash line with 11 home runs, 45 RBI, 34 runs scored and 17 doubles over 87 contests, putting him on pace for a career year in nearly every offensive category, though he remains limited to a strong-side platoon role at second base.

Bogaerts went 4-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Wednesday's 12-3 win over the Nationals.

Bogaerts kept his bat hot and had no trouble keeping the line moving in the blowout win. He's recorded six multi-hit efforts in seven games since he returned from a fractured left shoulder, going 14-for-29 (.483) in that span, though all of those hits have been singles. The infielder is slashing .255/.296/.338 with four home runs, 15 RBI, 26 runs scored and five stolen bases over 54 contests this season, but it appears fantasy managers will have to be patient in waiting for his power to return.

Lux isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

Left-hander Robbie Ray will be making his season debut Wednesday, forcing the left-handed bat of Lux to step out of the lineup. Chris Taylor will shift to second base while Enrique Hernandez covers the hot corner.

Estrada isn't in the Giants' lineup Wednesday versus the Dodgers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Estrada went 0-for-2 during Tuesday's loss and will now sit down for the third time in San Francisco's last four games. Brett Wisely will fill the void at second base and bat ninth.

Schunk is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

Schunk had made starts on the left side of the infield over the past three games, going 2-for-11 with a double, a walk and a run. His first start came Sunday while Ezequiel Tovar sat out due to an illness, while Schunk filled in for Ryan McMahon at third base Monday and Tuesday while McMahon tended to a jammed finger. Both McMahon and Tovar are healthy again and part of the lineup Wednesday, so Schunk will move back into a utility role.

Turang is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

The lefty-hitting Turang will hit the bench for the Brewers' second straight matchup with a left-hander, as he previously sat against Nationals southpaw Mitchell Parker on July 13. Andruw Monasterio will get the nod at the keystone and could continue to occupy the short side of a platoon with Turang moving forward.

Gorman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Gorman will be joined on the bench by fellow lefty-hitting regular Michael Siani as the Pirates bring southpaw Martin Perez to the hill for the series finale. Brendan Donovan will cover second base in Gorman's stead.

McNeil went 2-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Yankees.

The 32-year-old continued his July resurgence, homering for the second straight game and the fourth time in his last five. McNeil is slashing .314/.375/.743 over his last 12 contests, adding three doubles, eight runs, 12 RBI and a steal during that hot streak.

Turang went 1-for-2 with a walk, one RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Cubs.

Offense was at a premium Tuesday, and Turang's RBI single in the eighth inning was the lone run of the game. The second baseman has gone just 2-for-18 with four RBI over four contests since the All-Star break. He's gone 14 games without a multi-hit effort, but he's enough of a speed threat to stay atop the order even when he's not hitting at his best. For the year, Turang has 31 steals, six home runs, 42 RBI, 47 runs scored and a .268/.332/.376 slash line over 97 contests.

Marte went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and three total runs scored in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Royals.

Marte has four homers over his last 10 games and is up to 21 long balls on the year. During that sample, he's hitting .417 (15-for-36) with 10 RBI and two stolen bases. The second baseman continues to be an engine for the Diamondbacks with a .294/.364/.521 slash line, 61 RBI, 69 runs scored, six stolen bases, 19 doubles and two triples through 97 contests overall.
