Allen Cordoba SS | CIN
Padres' Allen Cordoba: Remains out Wednesday
Cordoba (hand) is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Braves.
Cordoba came in as a pinch hitter during Tuesday's contest, going 0-for-1 with a strikeout. The 21-year-old left Sunday's game after getting struck in the left wrist during an at-bat, and had the day off Tuesday following the team's off day. He is likely available to pinch hit yet again for Wednesday's affair.

Cardinals' Aledmys Diaz: Out of lineup again Wednesday
Diaz is not in Wednesday's lineup, MLB.com's Jenifer Langosch reports.
Diaz will sit for the second straight outing after getting starts in the 13 previous games. There doesn't appear to be an injury, but Paul DeJong is once again sliding over to short while Greg Garcia mans the keystone.

Nick Ahmed SS | TEX
Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Placed on disabled list Wednesday
Ahmed (hand) was officially put on the 10-day disabled list Wednesday.
Ahmed suffered a small fracture in his right hand when he was hit by a pitch during Tuesday's contest. It is unclear how much time the infielder will miss, but it's likely that he won't be ready to come back until after the All-Star break. In his place, the Diamondbacks called up Ketel Marte from Triple-A Reno.

Brandon Crawford SS | STL
Giants' Brandon Crawford: Out of lineup Wednesday
Crawford is not in the lineup against the Rockies on Wednesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Crawford will get his first day off since June 17 following Tuesday's 14-inning game against Colorado. The shortstop has recorded one hit in each of the past four contests and is currently hitting .238/.281/.379 with six home runs and 37 RBI on the year.

Corey Seager SS | TEX
Dodgers' Corey Seager: Hopeful to play Wednesday or Thursday
Seager (hamstring) is hopeful to return to the field before the end of the series with the Angels, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Seager has missed the past four games with a Grade 1 hamstring strain that he suffered during last Friday's affair. It appears as though Seager was available to pinch hit off the bench during Tuesday's contest, and although he did not do so, that should come as a good sign concerning the severity of his injury. There's a possibility that Seager will be in the lineup for Wednesday's game, but he should be considered day-to-day as the Dodgers aren't going to force him back until he is completely ready.

Johan Camargo SS | SF
Braves' Johan Camargo: Drives in two Tuesday
Camargo went 1-for-3 with a two-run double in Tuesday's win over the Padres.
He's now slashing an impressive .353/.378/.500 over his last 10 games with seven RBI and six runs. If the Braves follow through on their plan to try Freddie Freeman at third base when he comes off the DL, Camargo could get bumped to the bench or even back to Triple-A Gwinnett, but at the moment he's doing everything he can to convince the club to leave him at the hot corner.

Trea Turner SS | PHI
Nationals' Trea Turner: Swipes four bags Tuesday
Turner went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs scored and four stolen bases in Tuesday's win over the Cubs.
Little more than a week after setting a new franchise record with four steals in a game, Turner does it again. The 23-year-old now has 11 swipes in his last 15 games, pushing him to the top of the MLB leaderboard with 32 on the year -- one more than Billy Hamilton.

Nick Ahmed SS | TEX
Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Diagnosed with small fracture
Manager Torey Lovullo said Ahmed has a small fracture in his right hand but will undergo further tests.
Ahmed left Tuesday's game after he was hit by a pitch, and subsequent evaluations confirmed the difficult scenario. A trip to the disabled list appears to be on the horizon for the backup shortstop, meaning Daniel Descalso will assume that duty behind regular starter Chris Owings. Expect Ahmed to return sometime after the All-Star break, depending on what trainers deem to be the best course of recovery.

Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Exits after being hit by pitch
Ahmed exited Tuesday's game against the Cardinals early after being hit by a pitch in the wrist/forearm area, Jack Magruder of FanRagSports.com reports.
Ahmed was 0-for-3 at the plate before being removed from the game in the bottom of the eighth inning after being pelted by a 99 mph fastball from Trevor Rosenthal. Ahmed will likely undergo testing Wednesday, at which point we'll receive word on the severity of his injury.

Orlando Arcia SS | MIN
Brewers' Orlando Arcia: Pops sixth homer Tuesday
Arcia went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 8-6 loss to the Reds.
The homer was his sixth of the season, and Arcia is now hitting a sizzling .424 (14-for-33) over his last 10 games. The 22-year-old has made a number of highlight-reel plays on defense since making his major-league debut in 2016, and it looks like his bat is beginning to catch up to his glove.
