Vientos is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Baltimore.

The Orioles are starting right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano, marking the fourth straight game in which Vientos is absent from the lineup while the Mets face a righty. He's gone just 2-for-27 with a 0:9 BB:K since coming off the injured list June 27 and looks to have moved into a short-side platoon role. Ronny Mauricio will start at third base and bat seventh Wednesday.

Gorman is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Nationals.

The left-handed-hitting Gorman had been getting more opportunities against lefties lately, but he'll take a seat for the Cardinals' second consecutive matchup with a southpaw while MacKenzie Gore takes the hill for Washington. Yohel Pozo will serve as the Cardinals' designated hitter and will bat sixth.

Arenado (shoulder) will start at third base and bat fifth in Wednesday's game versus the Nationals.

Arenado missed the previous three contests with a right shoulder impingement and was also out of commission for a couple games last week due to a finger issue. However, he's feeling well enough to give it a go Wednesday.

Reds manager Terry Francona said Wednesday that Greene (groin) is headed to the team's spring training facility in Arizona to continue his rehab, adding that "there's no roadmap" for the next step in the pitcher's progression, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Greene recently suffered a setback with his right groin strain, and while an MRI didn't reveal any new injury, he is still feeling symptoms. The Reds want Greene to feel totally healthy and confident his groin issue is behind him, so the club will proceed cautiously with the pitcher's rehab. Greene has been shelved twice this season with the groin problem and has not pitched since early June.

Ritter is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

Ritter will take a seat after he started in each of the previous three games while going 1-for-9 with two walks and a run scored. Orlando Arcia will step in for him at shortstop Wednesday, but both players are likely to see their opportunities dwindle once Ezequiel Tovar (oblique) returns from the injured list, perhaps as soon as this weekend.

The Marlins designated Nastrini for assignment Wednesday.

The move frees a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Tyler Zuber, whom the Marlins claimed off waivers from the Mets. Nastrini himself was a waiver claim by the Marlins just last week, and he will go back on waivers after making just one appearance with Triple-A Jacksonville.

Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

With the Giants concluding their series with the Phillies with a day game after a night game and with southpaw Jesus Luzardo on the hill for Philadelphia, the left-handed-hitting Yastrzemski will get the afternoon off. Luis Matos will replace Yastrzemski in right field and will bat eighth.

Wisely is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Wisely made three starts in a four-game stretch last week, but he's now hit the bench for four straight contests. With both Matt Chapman and Casey Schmitt recently returning from the injured list, Wisely's window for receiving steady at-bats appears to have closed.

Bailey is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

After going 2-for-4 with a walk-off, inside-the-park three-run home run in Tuesday's 4-3 win, Bailey will get a chance to catch his breath in the series finale. Andrew Knizner will get the nod behind the plate Wednesday.

The Marlins claimed Zuber off waivers from the Mets on Wednesday and optioned him to Triple-A Jacksonville.

Zuber allowed two runs over two innings in his lone relief appearance with the Mets this season and has collected a 6.11 ERA and 27:15 K:BB across 28 frames at the Triple-A level in 2025. The 30-year-old will give the Marlins some right-handed bullpen depth at Jacksonville.
