Wisdom is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Angels.

Miles Mastrobuoni will start at third base and bat ninth versus the Halos and right-hander Jaime Barria. Wisdom is slashing just .145/.245/.313 in 95 plate appearances since the beginning of May.

Davis is not in the lineup Wednesday night at Colorado.

Casey Schmitt will cover third base and bat eighth versus the Rockies and right-hander Connor Seabold. This appears to be a planned day off for Davis, who's delivered an impressive .286/.371/.481 slash line with nine home runs and 34 RBI through 56 games this year with San Francisco.

Hayes went 3-for-5 with a triple and a run scored in Wednesday's loss to the Athletics.

Hayes now leads the league with five triples on the season. He's been on fire at the plate following a sluggish start to the year -- he's hit safely in seven straight games, going 14-for-28 (.500) with a double, two triples and two home runs in that span. Hayes' hot streak has boosted his slash line to .250/.295/.404. He has four homers, 24 RBI, 30 runs scored and six stolen bases across 244 plate appearances this season.

Castro went 2-for-4 with a double, a homer and three RBI in Wednesday's 9-5 loss against the Athletics.

Castro got Pittsburgh on the board with a solo shot off Hogan Harris in the second inning before driving in two more runs with a double in the fourth. Castro's been swinging a hot bat, going 10-for-27 (.370) over his last eight games. The 24-year-old Castro has earned a regular role between shortstop and second base in Pittsburgh. He's slashing .268/.360/.436 with six homers, 21 RBI and 17 runs scored through 172 plate appearances this season.

Reds manager David Bell said Wednesday that Senzel (knee) could return from the 10-day injured list when first eligible, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Senzel was placed on the injured list Tuesday due to irritation in his right knee, but it's nothing overly concerning and it sounds like he'll be back in the fold for the Reds late next week. He'd been on a streak of solid production before the injury, though Elly De La Cruz is now up with Cincinnati to command regular starts at third base. Senzel will likely have to find his playing time in a crowded outfield mix.

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

Even with Alec Bohm (hamstring) recently landing on the injured list, Sosa hasn't been able to recapture an everyday role at the corner spot opposite Kody Clemens. Drew Ellis has instead emerged as the Phillies' preferred third baseman, but both he and Sosa will take a seat Wednesday while Josh Harrison mans the hot corner.

Arenado went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's loss to the Rangers.

Arenado opened up the scoring in the first with a two-run blast to left-center field to give the Cardinals an early lead. The 32-year-old now has four extra-base hits and six RBI over his last six games and owns an impressive 2:1 BB:K over that span. For the year, the seven-time All-Star is slashing .263/.312/.448 with 11 homers, 41 RBI, 28 runs and a 17:48 BB:K over 253 plate appearances.

De La Cruz is batting cleanup and hitting fourth versus the Dodgers on Wednesday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

De La Cruz went 1-for-3 with a double and two walks in his MLB debut against the Dodgers on Tuesday while playing third base, and he'll handle shortstop duties versus Noah Syndergaard and Los Angeles on Wednesday. Kevin Newman is playing third base and hitting eighth with Matt McLain lined up as the designated hitter while batting second.

Rivera will start at third base and bat third in Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Rivera will stick in the lineup for the fifth game in a row after going 5-for-14 with a double, two walks, two runs and an RBI across the prior four contests. Though Rivera should be a mainstay in the lineup against southpaws, he's seen an uptick in opportunities versus right-handed pitching lately thanks to Christian Walker missing a start due to an illness and Lourdes Gurriel having now sat out three games in a row with groin tightness.

Rosario (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A El Paso.

Rosario suffered a broken ankle while doing offseason sprinting drills and underwent surgery before the start of spring training, but he has been cleared again for live games and could be a consideration for the Padres within the next few weeks. The young infielder registered an impressive .876 OPS with 22 home runs and 21 stolen bases in 124 games last year at the Triple-A level.
