Lewis (knee) went 2-for-4 in a loss to the Athletics on Tuesday, a game that marked his 2022 debut.

Lewis finally logged major-league game action after completing his recovery from June 2021 knee surgery. The talented outfielder wasted no time breaking the ice at the plate after a productive rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma, and he should be a near-everyday fixture in the Mariners lineup moving forward barring any setbacks.

Canha is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Canha turned in a pair of two-hit games in the first two contests of the series, but he'll get a breather for the series finale. With Canha on the bench, the Mets will roll out an outfield of Jeff McNeil, Brandon Nimmo and Starling Marte from left to right.

Ford is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

With Kyle Lewis (knee) making his return from the 10-day injured list Tuesday and serving as Seattle's designated hitter, Ford's time as a regular in the Mariners lineup looks to be over. He'll be on the bench Wednesday for the third game in a row.

Torrens will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Though he'll be included in the lineup for the series finale, Torrens seems to have slipped behind Cal Raleigh on the depth chart at catcher. Torrens will be starting Wednesday for only the fourth time in nine games, with one of those starts coming as a designated hitter.

Ruf went 2-for-5 with a walk, three runs and an RBI in Tuesday's 13-12 win over the Mets.

He came around to score his third and final run of the night on Brandon Crawford's game-winning two-out single to left field in the bottom of the ninth inning. Ruf was making his seventh consecutive start Tuesday, and he should have a fairly clear path to an everyday role while LaMonte Wade (knee) and Brandon Belt (knee) are on the injured list.

Cabrera isn't starting Wednesday's series finale against the Twins.

Cabrera will get a breather Wednesday after starting four straight games, going 5-for-16 with a double and two RBI in those contests. Javier Baez will take over at designated hitter while Harold Castro enters the lineup at shortstop and bats second as the Tigers try to avoid the sweep.

Alvarez went 1-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI on Tuesday against the Guardians.

Alvarez delivered an RBI single in the fifth inning and came around to score in the same frame. He's hit just .167 across his last 10 games but has still driven in four and scored five runs in that span. Overall, Alvarez has maintained a 164 wRC+ with 12 home runs, 26 runs scored and 25 RBI across 159 plate appearances.

Harper went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to Atlanta.

He appeared to have given the Phillies the win with a two-run blast off Kenley Jansen in the top of the ninth inning, but Atlanta answered back in the bottom of the frame to walk it off. Harper continues to rake despite a UCL sprain in his elbow, and through 16 games in May he's slashing .364/.394/.803 with seven of his 10 homers on the year.

Pederson went 4-for-6 with three home runs and eight RBI in the Giants' 13-12 win over the Mets on Tuesday.

After going 4-for-45 through his first 17 May games, Pederson broke out in a big way against the Mets. He tagged New York's pitchers for two-run homers in the third, fifth and eighth innings and tied the game with a two-run single in the ninth. The 30-year-old upped his line to .255/.316/.578, with his 10 home runs and .262 isolated power both ranking top 15 in MLB.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Marlins.

Ramirez has started nine of the Rays' last 10 games, though he had only one extra-base hit in that span entering Tuesday. That changed when he slugged his first homer of the season in the second inning, though Ramirez still has just a .082 ISO across 105 plate appearances. He has found other ways to produce by maintaining a .289 batting average with 12 runs scored, and Ramirez should remain in the lineup so long as both Manuel Margot (hamstring) and Brandon Lowe (back) are sidelined.
