Vientos is not in the Mets' starting lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Brewers.

Vientos will take a seat after going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in the first game of the twin bill. Francisco Lindor will serve as the designated hitter while Ronny Mauricio starts at shortstop in the nightcap.

Durbin is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Durbin didn't start in the Brewers' 7-2 win earlier the day either, though he drew a walk during his pinch-hit appearance. Anthony Seigler will make another start at the hot corner and bat seventh in the nightcap.

Durbin is absent from the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Mets.

Durbin will get some rest for the first game of the twin bill but should return to the lineup for the nightcap. Anthony Seigler will start at third base and bat ninth in his major-league debut in the early game.

Bohm is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Padres.

Bohm will exit the lineup for the first time since May 10, ending a stretch of 46 consecutive starts for the veteran infielder. Edmundo Sosa will fill in at third base in the early contest in place of Bohm, who will presumably return to the starting nine for the nightcap.

Mauricio is not in the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Brewers.

He'll likely be back in the lineup for the second game of the twin bill, but Mauricio will begin the matinee on the bench. The Mets will roll with Brett Baty at second base.

Arenado (finger) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

After spraining his right index finger in Sunday's win over the Guardians, Arenado went 0-for-3 as the Cardinals' designated hitter in Monday's 7-0 loss to the Pirates. The injury was still bothering him enough coming out of that game for the Cardinals to hold him out for Tuesday's 1-0 loss, and the veteran third baseman will get another day off to heal Wednesday. Thomas Saggese will cover the hot corner in place of Arenado, who will benefit from a team off day Thursday before potentially returning to the lineup for this weekend's series versus the Cubs.

Marte (oblique) went 2-for-3 with two walks, a home run and five RBI for Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Marte started at third base and played all nine innings, the first nine-inning game he's played in the field during his rehab assignment. The rehab has taken him from the Arizona Complex League (three starts) to Double-A Chattanooga (four starts) and now to Louisville. Per MLB.com, Marte is slated to play two games with the Bats before being re-evaluated.

Riley went 3-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Angels.

The three-hit effort was Riley's fifth of the campaign and his first since June 9. The 28-year-old third baseman is batting a strong .286 over his last 98 at-bats, but he has only two home runs and nine RBI during this 24-game period. It's possible Riley will move down the batting order from fourth to fifth once Jurickson Profar (suspension) gets back into the fold, although the latter's return should only aid the former's fantasy upside.

Arenado was diagnosed with a right index finger sprain Tuesday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Arenado initially injured himself Sunday and worked as the DH on Monday, but he will be held out of the starting nine entirely Tuesday while Nolan Gorman starts at the hot corner. X-rays on Arenado's finger came back negative, so he's being considered day-to-day for now.

Arenado is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Pittsburgh.

Arenado was lifted from Sunday's game in Cleveland with a jammed right index finger and was used at designated hitter Monday. It's not clear whether his absence from Tuesday's lineup is related to that injury or is simply a day of rest. Nolan Gorman will be at third base and bat fifth for the Cardinals.
