Davis confirmed after Wednesday's 8-5 win over the Cardinals that he's dealing with a Grade 1 right ankle sprain, which he suspects will keep him out of the lineup for 3-to-10 days, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The low-grade ankle sprain is considered a best-case scenario for Davis, who picked up what appeared to be a more serious injury in Tuesday's 11-3 win. The Giants are hoping that Davis shows enough improvement by the weekend to avoid a stint on the injured list, though he's certainly not out of the woods yet. David Villar and Casey Schmitt will likely pick up most of the reps at third base for however long Davis is sidelined.

Wisdom is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Pirates, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Wisdom has started just one of the last four games and that was at designated hitter, as it seems he might have lost the third base job to Nick Madrigal. The 31-year-old has just a .552 OPS along with a 43.3 percent strikeout rate since May 1.

Maton is not in the lineup for the second game of a twin bill versus Atlanta on Wednesday.

Maton went 0-for-1 with a run scored while drawing a walk in the first game of the doubleheader. The infielder will take a break during the second game with Jonathan Schoop handling the hot corner and hitting sixth.

Garcia is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Reds, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Garcia will take a seat after he went 1-for-8 with a walk and a strikeout while starting the first two contests of the series with Cincinnati. Nicky Lopez will take over at the hot corner and bat seventh in the series finale Wednesday.

Urias will start at third base and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

He'll pick up his third consecutive start versus a right-handed pitcher after going 6-for-10 with two doubles, four runs and two RBI over the Orioles' previous two contests. With Ryan Mountcastle (illness) recently joining Cedric Mullins (groin) on the 10-day injured list, the Orioles could have a near-everyday role available for Urias until one of those two injured regulars returns to action.

Devers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

With a team off day coming Thursday, the Red Sox will look to build in a two-day break for Devers, who was overdue for a breather after starting in each of Boston's last 16 games. Justin Turner will step in for Devers at the hot corner in the series finale with Colorado.

Davis (ankle) was not placed on the injured list prior to the Giants' game versus the Cardinals on Wednesday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Davis suffered a sprained right ankle in Tuesday's contest in St. Louis and is not in Wednesday's lineup. The injury could still ultimately result in an IL move, but the Giants have decided to push that decision back until Friday.

The Tigers announced Wednesday that Kreidler (knee) recently underwent core-muscle surgery, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Kreidler was placed on Triple-A Toledo's 7-day injured list April 28 due to knee soreness, but he was cleared to begin a rehab assignment with High-A West Michigan just under a month later. He played in five games in the Midwest League before being pulled off the assignment two weeks ago, presumably on account of the core-muscle injury. Kreidler is in the midst of daily treatment and is taking part in physical therapy following the recent procedure, but he's without a clear timeline to resume playing in games.

Lewis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Since making his 2023 debut with the Twins on May 29, Lewis has been holding his own in the big leagues, slashing .318/.318/.477 over his first 44 plate appearances. However, because he's returning from the second ACL tear to his right knee of his young professional career, the Twins seem to be managing his workload somewhat conservatively. Despite getting a breather for Saturday's 9-4 win over the Blue Jays, Lewis will get another chance to rest up for the day game just four days later. Donovan Solano will spell Lewis at third base in the series finale with Milwaukee.

Davis (ankle) is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Cardinals, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Davis left Tuesday's contest early with a sprained right ankle and his status is up in the air moving forward. Manager Gabe Kapler said after the game that he wasn't sure if Davis would need to be placed on the 10-day injured list or not, but David Villar was called up from Triple-A Sacramento and will start at third base in Wednesday's matchup with St. Louis.
