Davis (hand) isn't expected to be reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of the All-Star break, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Davis has been recovering from a sprained left hand since the beginning of May, and he's made four rehab appearances at Triple-A Syracuse in the last week. He's gone 2-for-9 with a double, an RBI, three walks and three strikeouts in his rehab stint, and the Mets were initially optimistic that he could be reinstated from the injured list as early as this weekend. However, manager Luis Rojas said Wednesday he doesn't "feel strongly" the 28-year-old will return ahead of the All-Star break, so it appears as though the team will take a cautious approach before clearing Davis to return.

Manager David Bell said that part of the reason Farmer is not starting Wednesday is that he's dealing with "body soreness," Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

It doesn't sound like the soreness is something that will make Farmer entirely unavailable for a period of time, but Bell said that "the more rest he can get, the better." The shortstop figures to be available off the bench Wednesday against the Royals and seems likely to rejoin the starting nine Thursday in Milwaukee.

Farmer isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Farmer returned to the lineup Tuesday and went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer and a double in the loss to Kansas City. However, he'll get a breather for Wednesday's series finale while Mike Freeman takes over at shortstop and bats ninth.

Machado went 3-for-4 with two doubles, three runs scored and an RBI in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Nationals.

Machado came around to score all three times he reached base and also delivered a go-ahead RBI single to right-center field in the fifth inning to complement his two doubles. The 28-year-old has had a nice run to end of the first half of the season, slashing .344/.404/.667 with eight homers, 25 RBI, 24 runs scored, three steals and a 12:12 BB:K across 27 games since June 7.

Sosa went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored Tuesday in a 6-5 win over San Francisco.

Sosa came into the contest without a hit in July, going 0-for-8 through four games. He turned things around with his second three-hit performance of the season. Sosa came through with a solo shot in the eighth inning for what proved to be the difference in the narrow win. The infielder is slashing .255/.335/.340 overall on the campaign.

Arenado went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-5 victory over the Giants.

The veteran third baseman got St. Louis off to a quick start, slamming a two-run homer in the first inning off Johnny Cueto. He went on to collect two more hits and stole second base in the seventh inning -- his first theft of the season on his first attempt since 2019. The long ball was his first in July and team-leading 17th overall on the campaign.

Segura went 4-for-6 with a double, two RBI and four runs scored in Tuesday's 15-10 win over the Cubs.

The second baseman played the table-setter role quite well Tuesday, and he was brought home each time he got on base. Segura added a two-RBI single in the seventh inning. He's gone 9-for-28 (.321) in seven games since he returned from a groin injury. The 31-year-old is slashing a strong .330/.383/.456 in 235 plate appearances, but he's added only three home runs, 23 RBI, 30 runs scored and six stolen bases.

Farmer went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to Kansas City.

Farmer sat out Monday's game with soreness described as "bumps and bruises" by manager David Bell. The infielder had little trouble at the plate Tuesday, as he launched his seventh homer of the season in the fourth inning. The 30-year-old had his second three-hit effort in the last five games, but he went 0-for-8 in three contests in between. Overall, Farmer is slashing .223/.292/.343 with 28 RBI, 27 runs scored and two stolen bases across 261 plate appearances.

Vosler was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

Vosler will return to the majors after spending the past couple weeks at the Triple-A level. The 27-year-old has slashed .222/.276/.463 with three homers, four doubles, seven RBI, 10 runs and two stolen bases over 58 plate appearances in the majors this season.

Escobar (quad) is back in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Rockies.

Escobar did not start Saturday or Sunday due to the reemergence of the quad issue, though he was able to pinch hit in both games. He appears to be feeling better, as he'll bat third and man the hot corner Tuesday.
