Moreno is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

Moreno had been out of the lineup for three straight games due to a hand injury before returning to action Tuesday. He came up big in Arizona's 10-3 win, going 1-for-4 with a three-run home run. Moreno will retreat to the bench Wednesday for the day game after a night game, but he should operate as the Diamondbacks' primary backstop moving forward.

The Cardinals are awaiting results of an MRI on Donovan's injured left big toe, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Donovan felt discomfort with the toe prior to Tuesday's contest against the Blue Jays and eventually had to be removed from that game after the soreness worsened. The super utility player is not in the lineup Wednesday and the Cardinals expect to know more about Donovan's condition after the game.

Edman is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Diego.

Edman has reached base six times over the previous three contests, but he will get a breather for Wednesday's series finale. Hyeseong Kim will handle second base and bat ninth for the Dodgers.

Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Wednesday that Hodge (hip) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Iowa either on Friday or Saturday, Meghan Montemurro of The Chicago Tribune reports.

The skipper added that Hodge will require multiple rehab appearances before rejoining the Cubs' bullpen. Hodge initially went on the 15-day injured list last month with an oblique strain, but he's more recently been battling a hip impingement. If all goes well, Hodge should be activated before the end of June.

Thompson (lat) has resumed a throwing program at the Cardinals' spring training facility in Florida, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Thompson was shut down for a while after suffering a setback with his left lat strain last month. The southpaw will be built back up slowly and likely will not be an option for the Cardinals until sometime in the second half. Thompson has been sidelined all season.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Wednesday that Civale will move to the bullpen for the time being, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The Brewers are calling up right-hander Jacob Misiorowski from Triple-A Nashville to join the rotation Thursday, and Murphy wants to stick with a traditional five-man setup, so Civale will be the odd man out. Civale could eventually rejoins the rotation if Misiorowski struggles, although the Brewers hope to get Brandon Woodruff (shoulder/ankle/elbow) back from the 60-day injured list in the coming weeks.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Yelich is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta due to renewed swelling in his right wrist, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Yelich first injured his wrist June 1, when he left a 5-2 win over the Phillies after being hit by a pitch. He returned to the lineup a day later and had started seven straight games, slashing .240/.345/.360 with a home run and four walks during that stretch. However, Murphy said that Yelich aggravated the wrist injury on a slide over the weekend, and after starting in Monday's 7-1 loss to Atlanta, Yelich will wind up taking a seat for the final two games of the series. Per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, X-rays on Yelich's wrist have returned negative, and he isn't expected to be sent in for imaging on the wrist. Instead, the Brewers will have him take some swings in batting practice Wednesday with the hope that he'll demonstrate enough improvement to rejoin the lineup at some point during the team's four-game series with the Cardinals that begins Thursday.

Single-A Carolina placed Adamczewski on its 7-day injured list May 28 due to left SC joint irritation in his back, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

On a talent-laden Carolina roster, Adamczewski shined brightly through the first month of the season, slashing .360/.450/.539 with two home runs and one stolen base in 111 plate appearances over his first 24 games. However, he hadn't played since May 2 before he was placed on the injured list almost four weeks later. Carolina hasn't offered up a timeline for Adamczewski to make his return to the lineup.

Haase will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Though top backstop William Contreras remains in the lineup Wednesday, he's serving as the Brewers' designated hitter, which opens a starting role up for Haase in the series finale. Haase will be making his first start since June 4 and just his second since May 27, as Contreras continues to shoulder one of the heavier workloads among all catchers in the big leagues.

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

Though the Brewers haven't indicated that Yelich is nursing with an injury, his absence from the lineup against a right-handed starting pitcher (Spencer Schwellenbach) for the second game in a row suggests he's dealing with something. Manager Pat Murphy will likely shed more light on Yelich's condition later Wednesday, but for now, the three-time All-Star can be viewed as day-to-day. With Yelich on the bench, William Contreras will get a day off from catching duties and will serve as Milwaukee's designated hitter.
