Garcia isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

After going 0-for-4 in Friday's series opener, Garcia will step out of the starting nine Saturday while Nasim Nunez starts at second base and bats ninth.

Rojas went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and two total runs scored in Friday's 6-3 win over the Giants.

Rojas hadn't hit a homer since July 19 versus the Brewers. He hit a decent .261 with a .664 OPS over the 48 games between long balls before his second-inning solo shot Friday. The utility infielder is up to seven homers this season, and he's added 27 RBI, 34 runs scored and five stolen bases while slashing .266/.325/.402 through 297 plate appearances this year.

Marte went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Friday's 8-2 loss to the Phillies.

Marte had gone 13 games without a homer, batting just .140 (7-for-50) in that span. He got the offense going early with a solo shot in the first inning Friday, but the Diamondbacks were able to put only one more run on the board. Marte is now at 26 homers, 67 RBI, 80 runs scored, four stolen bases, 25 doubles and a .279/.375/.508 slash line through 119 contests.

Edwards (wrist) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rangers.

Edwards is absent from the starting nine for a sixth consecutive game due to right wrist soreness. Graham Pauley will bat eighth and play second base.

The Phillies optioned Lantigua to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday.

Lantigua will cede his spot on the 28-man roster to Alec Bohm (shoulder) as Bohm returns from the 10-day injured list. Lantigua didn't appear in a game for the Phillies. He's slashed .233/.360/.334 with seven home runs and 17 stolen bases across 490 plate appearances with Lehigh Valley.

McNeil is absent from the lineup for Friday's game versus the Nationals.

McNeil had started each of the previous seven contests but managed only one hit over that stretch, so he'll get a day off to regroup. Brett Baty will handle second base and bat eighth for the Mets.

Edman isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants.

Edman has gone 5-for-20 with three RBI and four runs scored since returning from the IL last week, and he'll get a break Thursday while Miguel Rojas starts at second base and Andy Pages covers center field.

Atlanta claimed Wisely off waivers from San Francisco on Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Wisely lost his place on the Giants' 40-man roster following the promotion of Bryce Eldridge, but the former will reclaim a 40-man roster spot upon moving to Atlanta. He'll most likely remain in Triple-A for the remainder of the season after slashing .253/.332/.387 at Triple-A Sacramento for the Giants.

Koss went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-1 extra-innings win over the Diamondbacks.

Koss lined a two-run double to center field in the 11th inning before coming around to score San Francisco's final run. The reserve infielder has appeared in just six games this month, during which he's batting .286 with four RBI, four runs scored and two doubles in 14 plate appearances. Overall, he's slashing .258/.298/.365 with 22 RBI, 21 runs scored, three home runs and three stolen bases across 174 plate appearances in 69 outings this season.

Edwards (wrist) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies.

Edwards is set to miss his fifth straight game due to right wrist soreness. Javier Sanoja is starting at second base and batting ninth against Colorado right-hander Tanner Gordon. Miami begins a three-game series with the Rangers on Friday.
