Lux isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Wednesday's game against San Francisco.

The Giants will send out lefty Kyle Harrison to start Wednesday's contest, meaning the left-handed bat of Lux will retreat to the bench. Mookie Betts will shift to second base while Lux sits, allowing Miguel Rojas to start at shortstop and bat ninth.

Rays manager Kevin Cash said Wednesday that he's hopeful Lowe (oblique) will be ready to return to the lineup Saturday in Colorado, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Lowe exited Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Rangers due to left side tightness, but Cash said the second baseman wanted to remain in the game. The manager hopes that the team's off day Thursday combined with a left-hander starting for the Rockies on Friday will allow Lowe sufficient rest before he can return to action Saturday. Side injuries can be tricky, though, so an eventual stint on the injured list can't be ruled out.

Rengifo was lifted from Wednesday's game in Miami after feeling lightheaded.

Rengifo went 1-for-3 with a run scored at the plate before exiting. Consider him day-to-day for the time being. Nolan Schanuel entered the game in Rengifo's place, with Miguel Sano shifting from first to third base.

Lowe was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rangers due to left side tightness, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

It's not clear when Lowe was injured, but he went 0-for-2 with a strikeout before being lifted after the fifth inning. The Rays are calling Lowe day-to-day for the time being, but the club may offer more clarity on his situation after the game.

Rodgers is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

He's being given a day of rest as Alan Trejo handles second base. Rodgers has had a rough start to the season, going 3-for-25 with a 7:0 K:BB.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

The Mariners are going with a right-handed-heavy lineup to counter southpaw Logan Allen, so Rojas will retreat to the bench along with Dominic Canzone. Dylan Moore will replace Canzone in left field, while Luis Urias spells Rojas at third base.

Dunn is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Twins.

Dunn had started each of the previous three games, with two of those starts coming at third base. He'll yield the hot corner to Joey Ortiz in the series finale.

Rengifo is starting at third base and batting leadoff in Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

It's just the second start for Rengifo in the Angels' first six games, although he has also entered two additional contests off the bench. Rengifo is filling in for Anthony Rendon at the hot corner.

Altuve went 2-for-3 with a double and a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays.

Altuve was responsible for the Astros' lone run in a pitchers' duel Tuesday, leading off the fourth inning with a solo shot off Jose Berrios to give Houston a 1-0 lead. Altuve has hits in six straight games to start the season, going 9-for-25 with two homers, five extra-base hits and five runs scored. The veteran second baseman slashed .311/.393/.522 last year with 17 homers, 51 RBI and 14 stolen bases.

Schneider went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 2-1 victory over the Astros.

Schneider was the hero in Toronto's dramatic victory over Houston, launching a two-run, 423-foot homer off Josh Hader to put the Blue Jays ahead 2-1 with two outs in the ninth inning. Schneider now has two hits, both home runs, in his first two starts this season. While he's primarily come off the bench early this year, Schneider's defensive versatility can earn him more of a regular role if he keeps swinging a hot bat. He slashed .276/.404/.603 with eight homers in 116 at-bats as a rookie last season.
