Tovar is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

The slick-fielding shortstop will take a seat for the first time since April 21, ending a stretch of 22 straight starts during which he produced a .720 OPS. Alan Trejo will check in at shortstop for the rookie.

Rojas is not in the starting lineup against the Twins on Wednesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Rojas continues to impress with the glove but not so much with the bat, and the Dodgers will give the veteran shortstop a day of rest before a four-game series against the Cardinals starting Thursday. Chris Taylor will play shortstop and hit eighth against Minnesota on Wednesday.

Diaz is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.

Diaz will take a seat for the second time in three games after he went 1-for-6 with a run scored in Tuesday's 9-8 win in 12 innings. Nick Allen will replace him at shortstop and bat ninth in the series finale with Arizona.

McLain is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Rockies.

McLain will get a breather after he went 2-for-8 with a double, an RBI, two runs scored, a walk and four strikeouts over his first two major-league games. Jose Barrero will draw the start at shortstop and bat eighth in the series finale with Colorado.

Wendle went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a steal in Tuesday's victory over the Nationals.

Miami scored its first two runs after Wendle grounded into a fielder's choice, followed by an error in the second inning. The 33-year-old Wendle would add a single in the fifth before picking up his first stolen base of the season. Overall, it's been a rough start to the year for Wendle. He's just 4-for-32 through his first 11 contests, though three of his four hits have gone for extra bases. The left-handed-hitting Wendle will likely remain in a platoon role with Jon Berti and Garrett Hampson at shortstop.

Marcano is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Tigers.

Marcano will take a seat as the Pirates take on left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez. Chris Owings will draw the start at shortstop and bat eighth in the series finale with Detroit.

Berti notched a stolen base and scored a run in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

Berti swiped second base after replacing Luis Arraez as a pinch runner in the ninth inning before scoring on Jorge Soler's walk-off home run. Berti is now 7-for-10 on stolen base attempts this season after leading the league with 41 steals a year ago. The 33-year-old Berti has been swinging the bat well despite shifting into a utility role. He's slashing .333/.397/.439 in his last 19 games, boosting his line to .271/.320/.364 with two home runs, eight RBI and 17 runs scored through 130 plate appearances on the campaign.

Tovar went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Reds.

Tovar tallied the Rockies' lone run of the game with a solo home run off Brandon Williamson in the sixth inning. After showing signs of life at the plate, Tovar has gone only 3-for-28 with four RBI and three runs scored while striking out at a 41.4 percent clip across his last eight games. He's had an inconsistent start to his first full season in the majors, hitting only .216/.259/.360 across 147 plate appearances.

Edman went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and two stolen bases in Tuesday's loss to the Brewers.

After Tuesday's effort, Edman now has seven hits, five runs and two RBI over his last two games. Prior to May 15, he had just six hits over 11 games in May. Edman's two stolen bases were his first since April 27. He's combined for 62 steals over the last two seasons, so expectations are that his stolen bases will pick up as the year carries on. He's now slashing .275/.333/.473 with six homers, 17 RBI, 22 runs, five steals and an 11:21 BB:K over 146 plate appearances.

Adames went 1-for-3 with an RBI double, a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals.

Adames kicked things off with a double in the first to score Owen Miller and put the Brewers out front 1-0. He would also steal third in the inning for his fourth stolen base of the year. Adames entered Tuesday's game in a 3-for-27 slump and hadn't recorded an RBI since May 8. The 27-year-old has scuffled to a .170/.224/.302 slash line to go along with nine RBI, four runs and a 3:14 BB:K over 14 games in May thus far.
