Mauricio is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Guardians.

Mauricio had drawn nine straight starts at third base against right-handed pitching, but he'll begin Wednesday's contest on the bench as the Guardians send righty Gavin Williams to the bump. Brett Baty will patrol the hot corner and bat ninth for the Mets.

Alvarez is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Guardians.

Alvarez started behind the dish in each of the previous four games, so he'll receive some rest during Wednesday's matinee. The Mets will turn to Luis Torrens at catcher as they try to avoid the sweep.

Realmuto is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Realmuto had started behind the plate in each of the Phillies' last five contests but will get a breather for a day game after a night game. Rafael Marchan will form a battery with starting pitcher Ranger Suarez in the series finale.

Stott is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The left-handed-hitting Stott will hit the bench for the third time in five games, with all of his absences coming against southpaws. Edmundo Sosa will step in for Stott at the keystone while the Orioles send lefty Trevor Rogers to the hill.

Davis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

Davis started at catcher in Tuesday night's 8-1 loss, so he'll get some rest during Wednesday's matinee. Joey Bart will handle the catching duties for the Pirates in the series finale.

Cruz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Giants.

The left-handed-hitting Cruz has gone 0-for-17 over the last four games and the Giants are sending southpaw Robbie Ray to the hill, so the 26-year-old will get a chance to regroup Wednesday. Alexander Canario will patrol center field and bat seventh for the Pirates in the series finale.

White went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Brewers.

He was the only Atlanta hitter to figure out Milwaukee pitching on the night, taking Freddy Peralta deep for a solo shot in the fourth inning and drawing a bases-loaded walk in the seventh. White has gone yard three times in the last three games, and in seven contests since Ronald Acuna (calf) went down, the 31-year-old bench player is batting .296 (8-for-27) with nine RBI.

Wentz (2-3) took the loss Tuesday as Atlanta fell 7-2 to the Brewers, coughing up five runs on seven hits and a walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out three.

Most of the damage off the southpaw came in the third inning, when Milwaukee strung together four singles -- two of which didn't leave the infield -- along with a walk, a stolen base and a wild pitch to cross the plate four times. Despite the stumble, Wentz has a 3.09 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 24:7 K:BB over his first 23.1 innings with Atlanta, and the team's injury-ravaged rotation has no better options to take a turn every fifth day. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, which is scheduled to come at home this weekend against the Marlins.

Ortiz went 2-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-2 win over Atlanta.

The shortstop kept the line moving from the ninth spot in the order, and Ortiz has three multi-hit performances in the last five games as he continues to climb out of an early-season hole. Over his last 20 contests, the 27-year-old is slashing .284/.314/.388 with four doubles, a homer, a steal, nine RBI and 12 runs.

Turang went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-2 win over Atlanta.

The steal was his 20th of 2025, a mark he's reached in three straight seasons. Turang's activity on the basepaths has taken a big step back from last year, when he went 50-for-56 in stolen base attempts, but his overall production has improved. Through 108 games, he's slashing .276/.341/.383 -- career highs in all three categories -- with eight homers, 50 RBI and 65 runs.
