Durbin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

The Red Sox will go with Isiah Kiner-Falefa at third base while Durbin exits the lineup for the first time since May 27, ending a stretch of 16 consecutive starts for the 26-year-old infielder. After a brutal start to the season, Durbin began to catch fire at the plate upon returning to the lineup May 28, slashing .341/.348/.636 with two home runs, one stolen base, six runs and nine RBI over his ensuing 12 starts. However, Durbin's move to the bench Wednesday comes while he's gone hitless in 14 at-bats in his last four starts.

Walton is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Though he'll be on the bench Wednesday while southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez draws the start for Arizona, the left-handed-hitting Walton might have earned himself a regular spot in the lineup against righties for the time being. Since being called up from Triple-A Salt Lake on May 22, the 32-year-old journeyman has produced a .340/.375/.491 slash line with six extra-base hits, eight runs and six RBI over 56 plate appearances versus right-handed pitching. He served as the Angels' designated hitter in each of the team's last four matchups with righties.

Muncy is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

With the Dodgers playing an afternoon game after a night game and with a lefty (Shane McClanahan) on the bump for the Rays, the left-handed-hitting Muncy will be handed his first day off since June 5. The newly activated Tommy Edman will cover third base while Muncy heads to the bench after a stretch of 10 consecutive starts.

Keith (wrist) will start at third base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Keith was a late scratch from Tuesday's lineup due to wrist soreness, but it will be just a one-game absence from the starting nine. The 24-year-old clubbed three home runs in Monday's victory in Houston.

Baty is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

The left-handed hitter will retreat to the bench in the series finale, ceding his spot to the newly acquired Zack Short, with Bo Bichette shifting back to third base from shortstop while the Reds send lefty Nick Lodolo to the bump. While starting each of the Mets' last three games, Baty was able to get on base seven times, but he's still slashing an underwhelming .226/.303/.318 on the season. He could fade into a part-time role once the Mets get Francisco Lindor (calf) back from the injured list.

Delgado went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Tigers.

Delgado put the Astros ahead 3-2 in the eighth inning with his two-run single off Will Vest. The 26-year-old Delgado has appeared in two games with Houston since he was acquired from Tampa Bay last week, going 3-for-7. Delgado slashed .249/.316/.360 with 24 steals in 61 Triple-A games this season.

Garcia (hand) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Garcia will miss out on at least one start after he exited Tuesday's 6-4 loss after five innings due to soreness in his left hand. Though Garcia looked to have suffered the injury during a swing on his final at-bat of the evening, he told Anne Rogers of MLB.com on Wednesday that the hand has been a recurring issue since the Royals' series with the Cardinals a month ago. Garcia noted that he typically feels pain only when he hits foul balls rather than making direct contact, and the expectation is that he'll continue to play through the lingering discomfort. Nick Loftin will draw the start at third base in place of Garcia in the series finale in Washington and will bat eighth.

Bohm went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Marlins.

The third baseman took Tyler Phillips deep for a two-run shot in the second inning, one of three Phillies long balls off the right-hander. Bohm held a meager .606 OPS at the end of May, but through 14 games in June he's found a groove, slashing .275/.296/.490 with two doubles, three homers, one steal, five runs and 14 RBI for the month.

Gelof went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk, two total runs, two total RBI and a stolen base in a loss to the Pirates on Tuesday.

Pittsburgh was unable to retire Gelof, who collected three of the Athletics' eight hits. He knocked an infield single in the first inning that resulted in three runs, though Gelof was credited with just one RBI, as two of the scores were the result of an error. Gelof added a solo homer in the sixth, but his performance wasn't enough to prevent the Pirates from pulling out the win via a late comeback. Gelof has somewhat quietly put together a 20-game hitting streak, during which he's batting a scorching .372 with four homers, six doubles, 13 runs, 11 RBI and two stolen bases.

X-rays on Keith's right wrist came back negative Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Keith was a late scratch from the lineup before Tuesday's contest due to wrist soreness, but precautionary imaging determined that he isn't dealing with a serious issue, and the Tigers expect him to return to action Wednesday. The 24-year-old infielder is batting just .206 (7-for-34) since the start of June, but he exploded for three homers and six total RBI during his most recent game.
