Adames (back) will start at shortstop and bat third in Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

He'll make his return to the lineup for the first time in a week after a bout with back spasms kept him on the bench for the Giants' last four games. With Adames back at his usual post at shortstop, Christian Koss will slide back over to third base Wednesday.

The Brewers activated Pratt (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list. He'll start at shortstop and bat ninth Wednesday against the Mariners.

Pratt was cleared to rejoin the Brewers after going 1-for-2 with a sacrifice fly and one run scored in his lone rehab game with High-A Wisconsin on Tuesday. Prior to landing on the shelf Aug. 9 due to a right hamstring strain, Pratt had been serving as the Brewers' everyday shortstop, slashing .272/.352/.368 with two home runs, 17 RBI, 20 runs scored, 10 stolen bases and an 18:32 BB:K across his first 159 big-league plate appearances.

Bogaerts was removed from Wednesday's game versus the Mets in the seventh inning with a right hamstring injury, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Bogaerts grabbed at his hamstring on a swinging strikeout in the top of the seventh inning and did not take the field for the bottom of the frame. The Padres should have more on the infielder's status after the contest. Bogaerts went 1-for-2 with a double and a run scored before departing.

Padilla was promoted from Single-A Palm Beach to High-A Peoria on Tuesday.

Padilla didn't make his season debut until mid-June after missing time with a shoulder injury. He's healthy now and earned a promotion to the Midwest League after slashing .273/.350/.473 with three home runs, 10 stolen bases, a 10.5 percent walk rate and an 18.5 percent strikeout rate with Palm Beach. The 19-year-old Padilla oozes physical ability and is starting to produce better exit velocities, though his home-run potential will be capped unless he's able to lower a groundball rate that's currently over 60 percent.

Baez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

After starting in the last four games and going 0-for-14 with two strikeouts, Baez will head to the bench as the Tigers close out their series in Pittsburgh with a matinee game. Kevin McGonigle will slide over from third base to spell Baez at shortstop.

Winn went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Reds.

It's the 24-year-old shortstop's first career game with three extra-base hits, and the eight total bases tied his career high. Winn's long ball also snapped a 41-game power drought, but his bat's been showing faint signs of coming around since the All-Star break -- over his last 24 contests, he's produced a .267/.333/.384 slash line with seven doubles, two steals, nine runs and nine RBI.

Seager went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Nationals.

Seager singled in his first plate appearance before doubling in the third inning and eventually coming around to score when Justin Foscue drew a bases-loaded walk. The multi-hit performance continued a strong stretch for Seager since his return from the injured list, as he's batting .302 with a pair of home runs across 15 games since being activated.

Montgomery went 3-for-4 with a double and one run scored in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Cubs.

Montgomery has logged a trio of multi-hit efforts over 15 games in August. He's batting just .217 this month, right on the nose with his mark for the year. Montgomery also has just four extra-base hits and eight RBI, as well as a 4:26 BB:K in August. He's showed plenty of power (26 homers, 20 doubles), but a 32.9 percent strikeout rate has been a limiting factor in his overall profile.

Witt went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a walk in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Athletics.

Witt came through in the clutch, dropping a bloop single into left field with two outs in the ninth inning to bring home the winning run and give the Royals a walk-off victory. Since returning from an injured list stint due to tightness in his lower back, the star shortstop is slashing .340/.435/.528 with two homers, eight RBI, 16 runs and three stolen bases across 14 games. In total, Witt is hitting .287/.361/.460 with 15 homers, 47 RBI, 67 runs and 33 stolen bases over 108 contests.

Wilson (shoulder) is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Royals on Tuesday.

Wilson was scrapped from Monday's lineup due to shoulder soreness, and the 24-year-old shortstop will be out of the A's starting nine for a second consecutive day. Darell Hernaiz will get the nod at shortstop Tuesday and bat ninth.
