The Padres reinstated Morgan (knee) from the 15-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday.

San Diego didn't have room in its bullpen for Morgan and will stash him at Triple-A now that he's healthy again after he had been on the shelf for about six weeks due to left knee inflammation. Morgan provided a 4.50 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and 26:13 K:BB in 22 innings over 18 appearances for San Diego prior to landing on the IL.

Marte is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the White Sox.

It marks the third straight game that Marte has been out of the lineup. Hector Rodriguez has been deployed in right field for each of those contests and appears to be Reds manager Terry Francona's preferred option at the position for the time being. Marte has just a .472 OPS so far in the second half.

Campusano is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Campusano will rest up for Wednesday's matinee after he caught all nine innings of the Padres' 11-2 win Tuesday night while going 3-for-4 with a home run, a walk, three RBI and an additional run. Freddy Fermin will spell Campusano behind the dish in the series finale.

Stephenson is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the White Sox.

It's routine day off after Stephenson started each of the last two games. Jose Trevino will do the catching and bat seventh for the Reds.

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

The Brewers and Padres are closing out their series with a day game after a night game, and a lefty (Robbie Ray) is on the hill for San Diego, so the left-handed-hitting Yelich will unsurprisingly receive the afternoon off. William Contreras will get a day off from catching but will stick in the lineup in Yelich's usual spot at designated hitter.

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

Lara will sit for just the second time in nine games while the Brewers roll out a starting outfield of Jackson Chourio, Brandon Lockridge and Jake Bauers from the left to right. Since receiving the call to the big leagues July 7, Lara has shown good plate discipline with a 13.1 percent walk rate and a 19 percent strikeout rate, but he's provided limited fantasy value. Through 26 games, Lara is batting .236 with no home runs, two steals, 11 RBI and nine runs.

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

The Brewers will send the left-handed-hitting Mitchell to the bench while southpaw Robbie Ray takes the hill for the Padres. Brandon Lockridge will step in for Mitchell in center field and will bat seventh.

McCray is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

McCray had been seeing steady playing time against right-handed pitching since late July, but he looks like he'll be the odd man out of the lineup after the Giants welcomed Victor Bericoto back from the injured list Tuesday. For the second day in a row, McCray will be on the bench while the Giants will roll with a starting outfield of Bericoto, Drew Gilbert and Jung Hoo Lee from left to right.

Beck is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Since being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Aug. 3, Beck has started in five of the Rockies' ensuing nine games while going 5-for-18 with three extra-base hits, one walk and one run. The Rockies could use Beck primarily against left-handed pitching moving forward, as the left-handed-hitting Zac Veen could be in line to get an extended look against righties after being promoted from Triple-A on Tuesday.

Tovar is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Tovar will sit for the second time in the series while the Rockies go with Cole Carrigg at shortstop in the finale. Though he's posted a career-worst .580 OPS over 404 plate appearances on the season, Tovar has heated up a bit in August, slashing .310/.344/.448 through his first nine contests of the month.
