  • Luis Arraez 2B | PHI

    Giants' Luis Arraez: Out of lineup Wednesday

    Arraez (foot) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's matchup against the Athletics, Evan Webeck of the California Post reports.

    After fouling a ball off the arch of his right foot in the first inning of Tuesday's series opener against the Athletics, Arraez will sit out of Wednesday's ballgame. The 29-year-old has his foot wrapped in the clubhouse and is feeling good despite riding the pine for the second contest of the three-game set.

  • Ronny Mauricio SS | NYM

    Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Back from IL, optioned to Syracuse

    The Mets reinstated Mauricio (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday and optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

    Mauricio had been on the shelf since May 3 with a fractured left thumb. After beginning a rehab assignment last week and going 5-for-14 with one walk, two stolen bases, three RBI and three runs in four games between Single-A St. Lucie and Syracuse, Mauricio has been deemed healthy but will wind up sticking around with the Mets' Triple-A affiliate.

  • Ernie Clement 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Sitting again with hip issue

    Clement (hip) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

    Clement will be relegated to the bench for a second straight game while he tends to a sore left hip, which previously kept him out of the lineup for two games over the weekend. Luis Urias will pick up another start at the keystone Wednesday while Clement receives further maintenance for his hip.

  • Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN

    Twins' Luke Keaschall: Exiting starting lineup

    Keaschall is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Dodgers.

    Keaschall had started the last 11 games and is hitless over his last three games, so he will receive a day of rest. Tristan Gray will fill in at second base and bat eighth for the Twins in the series finale.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Remaining on bench Wednesday

    Holliday (groin) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    The Orioles will keep Holliday on the bench for a fourth consecutive contest while he tends to a sore groin. Per MLB.com, Holliday was able to go through pregame work Monday and Tuesday, so the Orioles are seemingly viewing him as day-to-day with the hope that he'll be ready to return to the lineup during this weekend's series against the Nationals following Thursday's team off day.

  • Edouard Julien 2B | COL

    Rockies' Edouard Julien: Idle for series finale

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

    Julien will join fellow left-handed hitters Mickey Moniak, Troy Johnston and Brett Sullivan on the bench while the Red Sox send southpaw Ranger Suarez to the bump for the series finale. Though he had started in all but one of the Rockies' matchups with right-handed pitchers dating back to May 26, Julien's opportunities could be harder to come by now that Moniak is back in the fold following a month-long stint on the injured list.

  • Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: On bench for second straight game

    Mayer (foot) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

    Mayer will miss out on a second straight start due to a sore left foot, which stems from him fouling a ball off himself during Monday's series opener. The Red Sox are viewing Mayer as day-to-day, and the infielder could be available off the bench Wednesday if he's noticed some improvement since resting for Tuesday's 5-2 win. Boston will go with Andruw Monasterio at shortstop in the series finale in Colorado.

  • Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Swats homer Tuesday

    Chisholm went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run in a 4-3 win over Detroit on Tuesday.

    Chisholm produced half of New York's runs in the victory with a two-run blast to right-center field in the sixth inning. The long ball was his 12th of the season, and the veteran infielder has been flashing more power of late with three homers over his past seven games. Chisholm is batting just .203 with a 30.3 percent strikeout rate through 19 contests in June, but he's nonetheless put up good fantasy production thanks to six home runs, 13 RBI, 16 runs and nine stolen bases.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | PHI

    Giants' Luis Arraez: X-ray on foot comes back clean

    Giants manager Tony Vitello said after Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Athletics that X-rays on Arraez's right foot came back clean, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Arraez appears to have avoided a fracture after fouling a ball off his foot in his first at-bat of the night before exiting in the fifth inning, but Vitello acknowledged that the 29-year-old infielder is "a little sore." The Giants will re-examine Arraez when he reports to the ballpark Wednesday, but if he's still dealing with swelling on the foot, he'll likely be held out of the starting nine for at least one game.

  • Cole Young 2B | SEA

    Mariners' Cole Young: Blasts go-ahead homer

    Young went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Pirates.

    The seventh-inning homer, Young's seventh of the year, proved to be the decisive blow in Seattle's one-run victory. After a hot start to the month, Young had cooled off at the plate coming into Tuesday's matchup -- he'd gone just 3-for-20 in his previous six games. Overall, the second baseman is slashing .253/.319/.372 with 34 runs scored, 37 RBI and two stolen bases across 321 plate appearances this season.
