Kim isn't starting Wednesday against the Giants, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Kim is in the midst of a three-game hitting streak in which he's gone 5-for-11 with a homer, a double, three RBI, two runs and a stolen base. He'll get a breather while Jake Cronenworth starts at shortstop and bats cleanup.

India was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Cubs due to a foot injury, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

India fouled a ball off his foot Tuesday but was initially expected to serve as the designated hitter and lead off during Wednesday's regular-season finale. However, Alejo Lopez will take over as the DH and lead off Wednesday.

McNeil isn't starting Wednesday against Washington.

McNeil has strengthened his case for the National League batting title recently, slashing .465/.500/.651 with two home runs, two doubles, nine runs, four RBI and three walks over the last 10 games. However, he'll get a breather for Wednesday's regular-season finale while Luis Guillorme starts at the keystone and bats sixth.

The Giants scratched Estrada from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres due to an illness, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

San Francisco will presumably look to stay away from Estrada in the season finale, bringing a close to his strong 2022 campaign. The 26-year-old has likely put himself in good position to open 2023 in a near-everyday role after slashing .260/.322/.402 with 14 home runs, 21 stolen bases, 71 runs and 62 RBI across 140 games.

Estrada was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres for an undisclosed reason, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Estrada started the last six games but was removed from the lineup for Wednesday's season finale just over an hour before the start of the game. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available off the bench, but Ford Proctor will enter the lineup at the keystone and bat eighth.

Donovan isn't starting Wednesday against Pittsburgh, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Donovan has recorded hits in each of the last eight games, hitting .310 with two doubles, seven runs, an RBI, five walks and three strikeouts over that stretch. However, Paul DeJong will take over at the keystone and bat ninth during Wednesday's regular-season finale.

Frazier is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Southpaw Tyler Alexander is on the hill for Detroit in the regular-season finale, so the lefty-hitting Frazier will check out of the starting nine. Frazier picked up starts in both corner-outfield spots during Tuesday's doubleheader sweep of Detroit, going a collective 2-for-7 with two runs and an RBI.

Torres (illness) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Torres will close the regular season with five consecutive absences from the lineup while he continues to recover from flu-like symptoms. Fortunately for Torres, the Yankees have secured a bye during the wild-card round, so Torres should be ready to go when New York begins its ALDS matchup Oct. 11.

Stott isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Astros.

Stott started the last six games and hit .429 with a home run, three doubles, five RBI, four runs and three stolen bases. He'll get a breather while Nick Maton takes over at shortstop and bats eighth.

Clement is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Clement started each of the Athletics' last three games, going 1-for-12 with a double and a run. He's produced just one hit in 17 at-bats since being activated by the Athletics on Sept. 24 after the team claimed him off waivers from Cleveland.
