Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: On bench for second straight game
Reyes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
Though manager Alex Cora suggested Monday that Enrique Hernandez could be moved off shortstop on a more frequent basis, Hernandez will end up manning the position for a second straight day Wednesday. Had the Red Sox elected to commit to a change, Reyes likely would have benefited the most in the short term, but he instead looks as though he'll remain in a utility role for the time being.

Brewers' Willy Adames: Back from concussion IL
Milwaukee activated Adames (concussion) from the 7-day injured list Wednesday.
Adames will return to action for Wednesday's game against the Orioles, less than two weeks after getting struck in the head by an errant foul ball while he was sitting in the dugout. Brice Turang was optioned to Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding roster move.

Tommy Edman 2B | LAD
Cardinals' Tommy Edman: Swipes bag despite going hitless
Edman went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's loss to the Rangers.
Edman wound up stealing his ninth base of the year after walking in the sixth. He leads the Cardinals in steals but otherwise has lacked steady production at the plate. His last RBI was back on May 23 and he's notched just six hits in 12 games since then. For the year, the 28-year-old switch hitter is slashing .255/.316/.432 with six homers, 21 RBI, 30 runs and a 16:31 BB:K over 214 plate appearances.

Geraldo Perdomo SS | ARI
Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: On bench Wednesday
Perdomo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
With an .855 OPS over 167 plate appearances on the season, the switch-hitting Perdomo has worked his way out of a strict platoon with Nick Ahmed, but the Diamondbacks will still hold Perdomo out of the lineup against left-handed pitching occasionally. Perdomo, who went 1-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-5 win, will give way to Ahmed at shortstop Wednesday while southpaw Patrick Corbin takes the hill for Washington.

Xander Bogaerts SS | SD
Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Remains out Wednesday
Bogaerts (wrist) is not in the starting lineup against Seattle on Wednesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Bogaerts will get at least one more game off as he deals with the soreness in his left wrist that has kept him out since Sunday. The shortstop is hopeful he can avoid a stint on the injured list, but if he can't return by Friday, the Padres may need to place the infielder on the shelf so they're not playing a man short. Ha-Seong Kim is playing shortstop with Jake Cronenworth at second base for Wednesday's finale against the Mariners.

Ezequiel Duran SS | TEX
Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Three hits Tuesday
Duran went 3-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals.
Duran notched a trio of base hits, marking his fourth three-hit effort of the season. The 24-year-old started at shortstop Tuesday after he played left field in his other two starts since coming off the injured list Saturday. His versatility in the field along with his plate skills have allowed him to play in a near-everyday role in the league's top run-scoring offense, though he's been consistently slotted in at the bottom third of the Rangers' lineup. Duran is now slashing .322/.374/.531 with seven homers, 24 RBI, 23 runs and an 8:35 BB:K over 155 plate appearances.

Marcano will sit Wednesday against Oakland, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
Marcano will head to the bench as the Pirates face southpaw Hogan Harris on the mound. Rodolfo Castro will slide over to shortstop while Mark Mathias enters the lineup at second base and bats seventh in the series finale with the Athletics.
