Mayer was removed from Wednesday's game against the Phillies due to right wrist discomfort, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Mayer went 0-for-1 with a walk and a run scored before his wrist forced him out of the game in the fifth inning. The severity of his injury is unclear, but a day off for the Red Sox on Thursday will give him extra time to recover and possibly allow him to be ready for Friday's series opener against the Dodgers.

Shaw went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-4 loss to the Royals.

The rookie took Steven Cruz deep in the seventh inning, Shaw's fifth homer of the season and third in the last five games. He's batting .474 (9-for-19) since the All-Star break, adding two steals, four runs and six RBI to his long balls, but he still has a lot of work to do to climb out of the hole he dug prior to the Midsummer Classic -- over his last 25 games before the break, Shaw slashed a woeful .107/.198/.147.

Bregman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Bregman has acknowledged that he's still not quite 100 percent recovered from the quadriceps strain that kept him on the shelf from May 24 through July 11, so the Red Sox could give him one or two days off per week in an effort to keep him fresh. With Bregman getting a breather Wednesday, Marcelo Mayer will pick up the start at third base.

Chapman was lifted for a pinch hitter in the eighth inning of Wednesday's 9-3 win over Atlanta after he was hit by a pitch in the left elbow earlier in the contest, but X-rays returned negative, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports. He went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run prior to departing.

Chapman looked to be in pain when he was struck by an 89-mile-per-hour sinker in the top of the seventh, but he was able to stay in the game and then played an inning in the field before he was removed from the contest. The Giants held a six-run lead at the time of his departure, so Chapman may have just been pulled from the game as a precaution. With a team off day on tap Thursday, Chapman will have some extra time to heal before the Giants return to action Friday against the Mets.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Muncy (knee) will travel to the team's spring training complex in Arizona on Thursday to take live at-bats for a few days, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

If Muncy comes out of the workout without any hiccups, he could be cleared to begin a rehab assignment. The veteran third baseman has recovered from a left knee bone bruise more quickly than expected and is tracking toward a return from the 10-day injured list in early August if all continues to go well in his recovery process.

Lee will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

Though he'll be included in the lineup Wednesday while Carlos Correa rests for a day game after a night game, Lee was on the bench for each of the previous three contests and appears to have moved into more of a utility infield role for Minnesota while he's slashed just .111/.163/.133 since the beginning of July. A more consistent role could reopen for Lee if the Twins look to trade pending free agents such as Willi Castro, Harrison Bader and Ty France ahead of the July 31 deadline.

Durbin is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Seattle.

For the second time during the three-game set in Seattle, the Brewers are going with Anthony Seigler over Durbin at third base. Durbin is slashing .317/.440/.463 so far this month but has now been out of the lineup on six occasions.

Riley indicated Tuesday that he still felt some discomfort in his lower abdomen, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. Atlanta is targeting Friday for the third baseman to return from the injured list.

"Not sore, but I think there's still a shadow of something in there, from talking to him," manager Brian Snitker said Tuesday. "And we started thinking about it -- using the next two days with the off day is probably the smart thing." Atlanta's place in the standings doesn't give the team much incentive to rush Riley back into the lineup, but the schedule also worked against his earlier return, as a Tuesday night activation would have been followed by a quick turnaround before a Wednesday afternoon contest. Atlanta begins a nine-game road trip Friday against the Rangers, but Snitker wouldn't commit to Riley suiting up for that contest. "We'll see how he feels when he wakes up Friday," the manager said.

Moncada is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Mets.

The switch-hitting Moncada is on the bench for the Angels' third straight matchup with a lefty starter (Sean Manaea), so he might be in the strong side of a platoon. Chris Taylor will handle third base and bat ninth as the Angels try to avoid the sweep.

Ramirez went 1-for-2 with three walks, a solo home run and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Orioles.

The star third baseman took Brandon Young deep in the first inning, and Baltimore pitchers wanted little to do with him after that. Ramirez has been carrying the Guardians' offense since early July, slashing .283/.426/.811 over his last 15 games with eight of his 21 homers and nine of his 30 steals on the season, while adding 18 runs and 18 RBI.
