Wendle is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

With southpaw Matthew Liberatore taking the hill for St. Louis, Wendle and fellow left-handed hitter Jesus Sanchez will exit the Miami lineup. Jon Berti will replace Wendle at shortstop.

Bogaerts went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk, two total runs and three total RBI in Tuesday's 8-5 win against the Angels.

Bogaerts knocked two big hits in the contest, smashing a two-run shot to left field in the sixth inning and plating another run with a single in the seventh. The shortstop has gone 5-for-6 with four runs, two homers, six RBI and two walks over his past two contests, knocking in more runs during that stretch than he had in his previous 17 games combined. In fact, Bogaerts has already hit more homers (two) in July than he did in all of June (one in 22 contests).

Lindor went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double, two runs scored, an RBI and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

It's the first time this year Lindor's stolen multiple bags in a game. Over his last 12 games, the shortstop is slashing .293/.404/.561 with three homers, four steals, six RBI and nine runs as he continues his climb out of an early-season hole.

Swanson went 2-for-6 with a solo home run and three strikeouts during Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Brewers.

The 29-year-old has struck out five times through the first two games of the series in Milwaukee, but in his other six plate appearances he's gone 4-for-5 with a double, a home run, a walk and three runs. Swanson has a .759 OPS with 10 long balls through 81 games this season -- four of which have come in his past 15 contests -- and he'll need to pick up the pace if he's going to reach 25 homers for the third straight year.

Crawford (side) is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Mariners.

Crawford will start at shortstop and bat eighth versus the Mariners and right-hander Logan Gilbert. He was held out of the starting lineup Monday due to side discomfort but did appear off the bench for two at-bats.

DeJong went 2-for-3 with a double, one RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Marlins.

DeJong had gone just 6-for-29 (.207) over his previous 10 games, though he homered twice and drove in five runs in that span. His steal Monday was his first since May 23 and his fourth of the season. The shortstop is slashing .237/.309/.460 with 12 home runs, 27 RBI, 30 runs scored and eight doubles through 58 contests. He continues to play regularly, though he'll get the occasional day off when Tommy Edman gets a turn at shortstop.

Bogaerts went 3-for-3 with a three-run home run, a double, a walk and two runs scored in Monday's 10-3 win over the Angels.

Bogaerts opened the scoring in the first inning with a three-run blast, and the Padres never looked back. The shortstop struggled over the weekend, going 1-for-14 across three games versus the Reds, but that small dry spell is behind him. For the season, Bogaerts is up to nine homers, 31 RBI, 42 runs scored, nine stolen bases, 14 doubles and a .259/.343/.397 slash line through 79 contests.

Crawford (side) isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

Crawford suffered the injury on a dive during Sunday's game against the Mets, so the team may be taking a cautious approach, especially with the All-Star break on the horizon. Casey Schmitt draws the start at shortstop and is set to bat ninth in Crawford's stead.

Arcia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Marlins.

The shortstop celebrated his All-Star berth -- he's one of a franchise-record eight Atlanta players named to the Midsummer Classic -- by swatting a Sandy Alcantara pitch over the wall in center field in the second inning. Arcia has slumped at the plate lately, going 4-for-41 (.098) over his last 10 games, but on the season he still sports a .296/.349/.439 slash line with seven homers, 28 RBI and 33 runs through 62 contests.

Manager Gabe Kapler said after Sunday's loss to the Mets that Crawford is dealing with a side injury, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Crawford appeared to sustain his injury while making a diving play in the eighth inning, but he was able to remain in the game. He went 1-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts in the defeat. The 36-year-old will be re-evaluated Monday and should tentatively be considered day-to-day.
