  • Marcell Ozuna DH | PIT

    Braves' Marcell Ozuna: Expected to play Wednesday

    Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said that Ozuna dealt with cramping during Tuesday's game versus the Angels but should be back in the lineup Wednesday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

    Ozuna was not removed from Tuesday's contest despite looking uncomfortable, and it appears he will be back in there Wednesday for the second game of the series. He's dealt with a nagging hip issue, as well, and while Ozuna has started every game since April 18, he's slashed just .181/.254/.276 since the beginning of June.

  • Joe Mack C | MIA

    Marlins' Joe Mack: Goes yard twice for Jacksonville

    Mack went 4-for-4 with two home runs, three runs scored and four RBI for Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

    All of a sudden, the 22-year-old catcher might be the hottest hitter in the International League. Over the last seven games, Mack has gone 16-for-29 (.552) with two doubles, five homers, nine runs and nine RBI. There's no room for him on the big-league roster right now, but Mack could rocket up prospect lists in the second half if he continues to rake.

  • Joey Bart C | ATL

    Pirates' Joey Bart: Sitting again in favor of Davis

    Bart is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Cardinals.

    Even with the Pirates and Cardinals wrapping up their series with a day game after a night game, Pittsburgh will go with Henry Davis at catcher for the second day in a row. Since returning from the injured list June 17, Bart has made eight starts to Davis' seven starts, but Davis has started behind the dish in three of the last four contests.

  • Padres' Ron Marinaccio: Up as 27th man for doubleheader

    The Padres recalled Marinaccio from Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday.

    Marinaccio will serve as the 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader in Philadelphia. The right-hander was acquired by the Padres via trade over the offseason and has spent all of this season at El Paso, collecting a 4.70 ERA and 31:13 K:BB over 30.2 frames.

  • Brandon Marsh LF | PHI

    Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Resting in front end of twin bill

    Marsh is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Padres.

    Johan Rojas will cover center field in the first game of the day in place of Marsh, who had started in each of the Phillies' last six contests while going 5-for-19 with a double, two stolen bases, three runs and two RBI. Marsh will presumably return to the starting nine for the second game of the day.

  • Padres' Eduarniel Nunez: Added to MLB roster

    The Padres selected Nunez's contract from Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday.

    Nunez earned the call-up after posting a 2.70 ERA and 49:14 K:BB over 30 innings between Double-A San Antonio and El Paso. The 26-year-old will be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game.

  • Matt Waldron SP | SD

    Padres' Matt Waldron: Sent down after spot start

    The Padres optioned Waldron to Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday.

    Waldron will head back to the minors after he permitted four runs over 4.2 innings Monday while taking a loss in a spot start versus the Phillies. San Diego called up right-hander Eduarniel Nunez to replace Waldron on the 26-man active roster.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Receiving rare game off

    Bohm is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Padres.

    Bohm will exit the lineup for the first time since May 10, ending a stretch of 46 consecutive starts for the veteran infielder. Edmundo Sosa will fill in at third base in the early contest in place of Bohm, who will presumably return to the starting nine for the nightcap.

  • Ronny Mauricio SS | NYM

    Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Sitting out first game of day

    Mauricio is not in the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Brewers.

    He'll likely be back in the lineup for the second game of the twin bill, but Mauricio will begin the matinee on the bench. The Mets will roll with Brett Baty at second base.

  • Giants' Rafael Devers: Doubles in loss

    Devers went 1-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Devers lined a double to right field in the third inning after going hitless in the club's previous three games. The 28-year-old has experienced a dip in production over 14 games since being traded to San Francisco, slashing .204/.306/.370 with five RBI, four runs scored, three doubles, two home runs and an 8:23 BB:K in 62 plate appearances. Overall, he has a .261/.386/.482 slash line with 63 RBI, 51 runs scored, 17 homers and one stolen base across 396 plate appearances between Boston and San Francisco.
