Ortiz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Milwaukee will go with Cooper Pratt and David Hamilton as its starters on the left side of the infield after Ortiz had been included in the lineup at either shortstop or third base in each of the previous 12 games. Ortiz produced a sizzling .293/.367/.488 slash line with two home runs, one steal, nine RBI and nine runs during that stretch, and the Brewers should continue to find ways to keep him in the starting nine while he's wielding a hot bat. Expect Ortiz to remain a regular in the lineup against left-handed pitching, while manager Pat Murphy will likely lean on a three-man rotation of Ortiz, Pratt and Hamilton for two spots in the lineup versus righties.

Tovar (wrist) will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's contest versus the Nationals.

Tovar tweaked his left wrist during Monday's game and then didn't start Tuesday, but it will be just a one-game absence from the lineup for the shortstop. The 25-year-old has shown signs of life offensively in August, slashing .300/.351/.480 with a pair of long balls.

Triolo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

Triolo will hit the bench for the first time since Aug. 12, breaking a streak of 12 consecutive starts at either third base or shortstop. Though he posted a weak .610 OPS during that 12-game stretch, Triolo could nonetheless continue to maintain steady playing time due to the defensive upgrade he provides at third base over Nick Gonzales, who has been seeing more playing time at second base and designated hitter of late.

Lindor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during the Mets' 3-2 extra-inning win over the Brewers on Tuesday.

Tuesday was a low-scoring affair, but Lindor finally put the Mets on the board in the fifth inning with a solo long ball off southpaw Kyle Harrison. It was Lindor's fifth home run since July 31 and 13th of the year, and he'll need to show off more of that power over the next few weeks in order to reach the 20-homer threshold for a sixth consecutive year and for the ninth time in his major-league career. Lindor has a .756 OPS with three steals, 33 RBI and 25 extra-base hits over 327 plate appearances this season.

Tovar (wrist) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Nationals.

Tovar had to be pulled from Monday's contest after tweaking his left wrist on a diving play at shortstop. He's considered day-to-day. Ryan Ritter will fill in at shortstop for the Rockies on Tuesday.

The Brewers designated Ornelas for assignment Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The 26-year-old was acquired from the Athletics in mid-August but made just three appearances for the Brewers before losing his place on the 26-man and 40-man rosters. Between his time in Sacramento and Milwaukee this year, Ornelas has gone 4-for-21 with 11 strikeouts in nine MLB contests.

The Cardinals placed Winn on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Aug. 22, due to a left thumb fracture.

It was reported earlier Tuesday that Winn would be placed on the injured list, but the full extent of the injury wasn't previously disclosed. Despite the diagnosis, the Cardinals don't expect the 24-year-old shortstop to miss an extended period of time, per Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat. Nolan Gorman was called up to fill the open roster spot for St. Louis.

Winn (thumb) is expected to be placed on the injured list Tuesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

The 24-year-old shortstop sustained the injury last Tuesday in Cincinnati and attempted to play through it the following day, but he was lifted from that contest and has sat out the past four games. The full extent of the injury has yet to be disclosed after undergoing an MRI and CT scan Sunday, but the Cardinals are hopeful that it's not a season-ending injury for Winn, per Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Nolan Gorman is being called up from Triple-A Memphis to round out St. Louis' roster.

Tovar went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and a double before being lifted in the sixth inning after injuring his wrist during Monday's 13-3 loss to the Nationals, Eli Whitney of Purple Row reports.

In Tovar's second at-bat against Cade Cavalli, he took the right-hander deep to center field for a solo shot to extend Colorado's lead. The long ball snapped a 15-game homerless drought. The 25-year-old was lifted in the bottom of the sixth after straining his left wrist on a diving play in the fifth inning. On the campaign, Tovar is slashing .209/.257/.596 with 10 homers and 39 RBI in 429 plate appearances. Ryan Ritter replaced Tovar at shortstop.

Adames was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a left elbow sprain, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Adames picked up the injury during Sunday's series finale against Boston, and it'll cost him at least the next 10 days. The Giants will presumably turn to Christian Koss and Osleivis Basabe at shortstop while Adames is on the mend. The club has classified Adames' injury as a moderate sprain, and he'll likely need longer than the 10-day minimum before being activated, per Rubin.
