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.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

Lowe popped his 11th home run of the season, 10 of which have come since the beginning of June. The start to his season was erased by an oblique injury, but he's maintained a .268 average with 10 home runs, 22 RBI and 21 runs scored across his last 35 games.

Torres went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Mets.

The second baseman took Jose Quintana deep in the second inning, snapping a 15-game homerless drought. Torres is still struggling to find his power stroke -- Tuesday's long ball was his ninth of the year, after he slugged 49 homers over the last two seasons combined -- but his overall performance at the plate has improved somewhat in July, as he's slashing .255/.352/.340 through 55 plate appearances on the month.

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.

Gelof went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Astros.

Gelof went back-to-back with Seth Brown in the fourth for his only hit of the evening. It was just his second hit in five games since coming back from the All-Star break and he's struggled a lot over the last two weeks, slashing just .105/.190/.342 in 10 games since July 10. The 24-year-old has had a rough go of it this season overall, slashing just .198/.261/.372 with 13 homers, 35 RBI, 38 runs and a 23:113 BB:K in 328 plate appearances.

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.

X-rays on Mateo's left arm came back negative after he was removed from Tuesday's game versus Miami following a collision with Gunnar Henderson, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Manager Brandon Hyde said Mateo will need to undergo an MRI in order to have a good idea of what the 29-year-old is dealing with, but a clean X-ray is an encouraging sign. Until the results of Mateo's MRI come back, he should be viewed as day-to-day.
