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

Urias started the past 10 games at shortstop with Willy Adames (ankle) sidelined, and he'll take a seat Wednesday after posting a .575 OPS during that stretch. Mike Brosseau will man shortstop on Wednesday while Jace Peterson starts at third base.

Stott was added to the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

The 24-year-old has been out of the lineup in each of the last four games, but he'll be a late addition to Wednesday's lineup after Bryce Harper (forearm) was scratched. Stott is starting at shortstop and batting ninth.

Estrada isn't starting Wednesday against Philadelphia, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Estrada went 4-for-9 with a double, two runs and a strikeout over his last two games, but he'll be out of the lineup for the second time in the last three matchups. Donovan Walton will start at the keystone and bat eighth.

The Nationals recalled Garcia from Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday. He'll start at shortstop and bat seventh in Washington's series finale with the Mets.

Since Washington placed Alcides Escobar (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move, Garcia could be in line to step in as the team's primary shortstop, with Dee Strange-Gordon representing more of a utility option than a legitimate threat for an everyday role at this stage of his career. A poor spring kept him from making the Opening Day roster, but the 22-year-old has hit his stride at the dish through the first two months of the season at Triple-A. Over 193 plate appearances with Rochester, Garcia slashed .314/.368/.531 with eight home runs and a stolen base.

McNeil isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

McNeil went 3-for-4 with two runs in Tuesday's blowout win over the Nationals, but he'll get a breather in the series finale. J.D. Davis is serving as the designated hitter and batting sixth.

Gorman (back) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Gorman will be held out of the starting lineup for a second straight game as he continues to deal with lower-back tightness. Brendan Donovan will start at second base and lead off.

Lux went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Pirates.

Lux walked and stole second in the fourth inning. It was his first stolen-base attempt since April 17, and it was his third theft of the year. The 24-year-old is now 0-for-5 in his last two games, dropping his slash line to .263/.346/.336 for the season. He's posted a home run, 12 RBI, 28 runs scored, five doubles and a triple through 156 plate appearances, maintaining a regular role in the lineup with playing time at second base and in left field lately.

Chavis (forearm) went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Dodgers.

Chavis opened the scoring in the first inning with a blast off Dodgers starter Julio Urias, and the Pirates never looked back. This was Chavis' first start since last Friday as he battled a forearm injury. The 26-year-old lifted his slash line to .293/.331/.500 with the two-hit effort, and he's added five homers, 17 RBI and 13 runs scored without a stolen base in 40 contests this year. With Yoshi Tsutsugo (back) and Daniel Vogelbach (hamstring) on the injured list, Chavis has a chance to see near-everyday reps at first base in the short term.

Marte went 1-for-2 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 8-7 extra-inning win over Atlanta.

Marte was initially given the day off, but he entered as a pinch hitter for Jake Hager in the seventh inning, grounding into a double play. He stayed in the game at second base and delivered a single and a stolen base in Arizona's ninth-inning rally to tie the game. Marte's hitting streak is up to 11 contests, a span in which he's gone 15-for-43 (.349). For the season, the veteran infielder is up to a .260/.325/.405 slash line with two home runs, 16 RBI, 23 runs scored and three stolen bases through 191 plate appearances.

Gonzales exited Tuesday's game with Double-A Altoona with an apparent leg injury, Jarrod Prugar of DK Pittsburgh Sports reports.

Gonzales entered Tuesday's matchup against Bowie with a .935 OPS over his past 16 games, but he was forced from the contest after going 0-for-2 with a walk. It's unclear if the 22-year-old will require a stint on the injured list, so for now he should be considered day-to-day.
