Donovan (groin) will start at second base and bat leadoff Tuesday against the Giants, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Donovan was left off the first iteration of St. Louis' lineup Tuesday, but he's now been cleared to play after sitting out Monday's game with groin tightness. The 28-year-old has slashed .321/.367/.500 over 30 plate appearances since returning from the injured list Sept. 12.

Cronenworth is not in the starting lineup Tuesday versus Milwaukee.

Cronenworth will get a breather after going 0-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts in Monday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Brewers. Mason McCoy will take over at second base and bat ninth in his place.

The Padres optioned Wagner to the Arizona Complex League on Tuesday.

Wagner was optioned to create space on the active roster for Xander Bogaerts's (foot) reinstation from the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Wagner was recalled Aug. 24 to fill in for Jackson Merrill, who had an ankle injury at the time. Since then, Wagner got just 13 plate appearances in the 13 games he played in and reached base twice.

Donovan (groin) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

The Cardinals expected Donovan to return to the starting nine Tuesday after he was scratched Monday with a groin injury, but he'll instead take another day to recover while Jose Fermin starts at the keystone. With just five games left on the regular-season schedule and St. Louis flirting with elimination from postseason contention, the Cardinals may opt to shut Donovan down for the rest of the year if his condition doesn't improve soon.

Schmitt isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus St. Louis, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Schmitt will receive a day to rest after going 1-for-4 with a run scored during a loss in Monday's series opener. Christian Koss will replace him at second base Tuesday and bat eighth.

Garcia will start at first base and bat fifth in Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

It marks the first time in pro ball that Garcia has ever played first base. It's also Garcia's first start since Friday, as he was out of the lineup for each of the last three games. Nasim Nunez is handling second base for the Nationals on Tuesday and could be threatening to overtake Garcia at the keystone.

Edwards will start at second base and bat sixth in Tuesday's game versus the Phillies.

Edwards batted third in the previous two contests, which was the first time all season he hit anywhere other than leadoff. Now Edwards -- who is slashing .168/.219/.215 across his last 27 games -- will be all the way down in the No. 6 spot.

Sosa (groin) is now expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

The initial expectation was that Sosa would be activated the first day he's eligible Tuesday. However, the Phillies have elected to have him take some swings against minor-league pitchers Tuesday and, assuming that goes well, will reinstate him Wednesday. He's been out since mid-September with a right groin strain.

Wisely will start at second base and bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

Wisely was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett earlier in the day, and he will receive the first opportunity to fill in at second base for the injured Ozzie Albies (hand). The 26-year-old Wisely sports a career .217/.263/.324 slash line over parts of three big-league seasons.

Atlanta recalled Wisely from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Wisely was claimed off waivers from the Giants last week. He's absorbing the roster spot vacated by Ozzie Albies (hand) and could see some starts at second base in Albies' place down the stretch. Wisely is a career .217/.263/.324 hitter over parts of three big-league seasons.
