Paredes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Paredes will take a seat after he saw his four-game streak with multiple hits come to an end with an 0-for-3 showing in Tuesday's 4-1 win. Taylor Walls will spell Paredes at third base Wednesday.

Henderson is not in the Orioles' lineup for Wednesday's game in Kansas City, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Henderson drew three walks in Tuesday's 11-7 win but went hitless again. It's been a struggle for the rookie infielder, who sits on a lowly .663 OPS through 97 plate appearances this season. He'll get a chance to rest up Wednesday while Ramon Urias fills in for him at third base.

The Nationals activated Vargas (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Vargas went on the injured list April 11 after going 1-for-12 to begin the season. A depth infielder, the 31-year-old will likely see only sporadic playing time.

Miranda is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Miranda received his first day off of the season Sunday and will take a seat again Wednesday. Willi Castro is at third base in his place.

Machado is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Machado appears to be receiving a routine day off. The Padres will shift Ha-Seong Kim over to third base and give Rougned Odor a start at second base while Machado sits.

Maton is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Mets.

With a lefty (Joey Lucchesi) taking the hill for the Mets in the opening game of the twin bill, the lefty-hitting Maton will head to the bench while Zack Short spells him at third base. Expect Maton to re-enter the lineup for Game 2 with right-hander Max Scherzer on the bump for the Mets.

Garcia went 2-for-4 and scored a run in Tuesday's loss to the Orioles.

Garcia was slotted in as the Royals' No. 8 hitter and played third base in his 2023 major-league debut. He was one of two players to notch multiple base knocks. The 23 -year-old singled to lead off the seventh and later scored and reached again in the ninth on an infield hit. The Royals have the second-worst record in baseball and have nothing to lose, so Garcia should get an extended look in the lineup as the one of the club's top prospects.

Peterson went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Mariners.

Peterson hit a seventh-inning single and stole second, but he was stranded on base. The infielder has hit safely in three straight games, going 4-for-11 with two walks and two runs scored in that span. He's up to a .203/.304/.291 slash line with three steals, one home run, eight RBI and nine runs scored through 92 plate appearances this season. Peterson has seen a little more than a strong-side platoon role, but he's only a lock for the lineup against right-handed pitchers.

Wisdom went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Nationals.

Wisdom also struck out twice and left five runners on base, but fantasy managers are most interested in the long ball, which was his 11th of the season. That's tied for the MLB lead with Max Muncy and Pete Alonso, and the 31-year-old could be on his way to surpassing his career high of 28 home runs, which he hit back in 2021.

Busch went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs and a stolen base against the Phillies in a 13-4 win Monday.

Busch got the start at second base Monday after three consecutive days on the bench. He made the most of the opportunity, recording his first career multi-hit performance and stealing his first bag as a major-leaguer. Busch is still finding his way in the big leagues, as he's batting just .214 with seven strikeouts in 16 plate appearances.
