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

The right-handed-hitting Gelof finds himself on the bench for the third game in a row, this time sitting against a right-hander (Lucas Giolito) after his prior two absences from the lineup came versus lefty starters. The Athletics had been deploying Gelof as their everyday second baseman following his call-up from Triple-A Las Vegas on Aug. 25, but he's slashed a disappointing .230/.277/.377 with a 43.9 percent strikeout rate since that time. He appears to have moved into a reserve role while the Athletics have turned to Darell Hernaiz at second base and Brett Harris at third.

India is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Mariners.

India has now started six of eight games since returning from the injured list, going 6-for-21 with two doubles over that time. The Royals will go with Adam Frazier at second base Wednesday in place of India.

Schmitt is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Arizona.

He'll get some rest during Wednesday's matinee after starting each of the previous seven contests. Christian Koss will occupy second base for the Giants in Schmitt's stead.

Donovan is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Reds.

Donovan will get some rest during Wednesday's matinee after reaching base four times in the first two games of the series. Nolan Gorman will start at second base and bat fifth for the Cardinals.

The Cardinals recalled Fermin from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.

Fermin is grabbing the roster spot that opened up with Willson Contreras (shoulder) landing on the injured list. He's slashed .298/.389/.404 in limited action this season and will operate as a reserve infielder down the stretch.

Torres went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 7-5, 10-inning loss to the Guardians.

Torres struck in the third inning with his second home run of September and 16th of the season. Outside of the long balls, it's mostly been a struggle this month for the Detroit infielder, as he's batting just .152 across 13 games. Overall, Torres has been much better with a .254 average through 135 games, and his 16 homers and 73 RBI have both surpassed the totals he posted last year with the Yankees.

Freeman started at second base and went 1-for-3 with a walk, a steal and a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to Houston.

Freeman was back in the starting lineup after coming off the bench for the series opener Monday. He had started seven consecutive games prior to Monday. The stolen base was his first and the homer his third of the season. Freeman is slashing .229/.253/.386 over 27 contests and should continue to get opportunities with Marcus Semien (foot) on the shelf.

Marte went 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Giants.

Marte singled home a run as part of a two-run fifth inning, completing Arizona's comeback from an early 4-0 hole. After a one-game absence due to a foot injury, Marte has played in four consecutive games, going 4-for-19 with two doubles and an RBI.

Altuve went 1-for-2 with two RBI on Tuesday against the Rangers.

Altuve started his second consecutive game since returning from a foot injury. He tallied a sacrifice fly in the first inning before delivering an RBI single three frames later. While this was a positive performance, Altuve has gone only 8-for-49 (.163) with seven RBI and five runs scored across 14 games in September.

Sosa went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Orioles.

Sosa delivered a two-RBI single in the eighth inning, playing his part in a five-run rally for the White Sox. He's tallied nine RBI and eight runs scored across 13 games in September, though he's gone only 11-for-53 (.207) in that span.
