Marsh is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Tampa Bay.

The Rays are sending a right-hander in Shane Baz to the mound, but the left-handed-hitting Marsh will nevertheless begin the contest on the bench. Johan Rojas will start in center field and bat ninth for the Phillies.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that he's hopeful Hernandez (adductor) will be ready for activation from the 10-day injured list in two weeks, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

Roberts had a fairly ominous tone when discussing Hernandez's left adductor strain Tuesday, but he was much more optimistic a day later. A clearer picture on Hernandez's timetable should be available in the coming days, but it's looking like the veteran outfielder has a good shot to return well before the end of the month.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Glasnow (shoulder) will resume playing catch Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Glasnow will soon resume throwing after having been shut down since exiting his April 27 start versus the Pirates due to right shoulder inflammation. Though the right-hander hasn't been out for a prolonged period, he'll likely need to complete a simulated game and/or a minor-league rehab start before the Dodgers activate him from the 15-day injured list. A target date for his return should come into focus once he reaches the point in his throwing program where he's facing hitters.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Kershaw's (toe/knee) will make a rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday in what could be the lefty's final outing in the minors before returning from the 60-day injured list, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Kershaw spun six hitless innings in his most recent outing with the Dodgers' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate Tuesday and has allowed a total of four runs over 17 innings while posting a 14:3 K:BB in four rehab starts. The veteran left-hander is eligible for activation from the 60-day injured list May 18, and signs are pointing to him making his season debut that day against the Angels.

Farmer is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Adael Amador will get the nod at second base Wednesday, but Farmer still may rank as the Rockies' preferred option at the keystone. Farmer had been included in the lineup in three of the team's previous four games, while Amador started just once during that stretch.

The Reds recalled Hinds from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.

Hinds has slashed .281/.343/.554 with eight home runs and 12 steals this season with Louisville but has also struck out at a 29.7 percent clip. The right-handed-hitting Hinds could see regular starts in the outfield when the Reds oppose lefties.

The Reds placed Marte on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left oblique strain.

Marte was a late scratch from Tuesday's lineup and a day later has landed on the IL. He will be eligible for activation May 15, but oblique strains often result in longer-than-minimum stays on the IL. Santiago Espinal will likely receive the bulk of the playing time at third base for the Reds while Marte is sidelined.

Norby is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Dodgers.

It appears to be a routine day off for Norby, who had started each of the previous seven games for the Marlins. Graham Pauley will get a start at third base and bat eighth for Miami.

Smith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Austin Barnes will get the nod behind the plate while Smith rests for the day game after a night game. Smith caught all nine innings of Tuesday's 5-4 loss while going 2-for-5 with a double.

Arenado was scratched from Wednesday's lineup versus the Pirates due to back spasms, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Arenado was scratched just minutes before first pitch and replaced at third base by Nolan Gorman. He should be considered day-to-day for the time being, and Arenado will receive an additional day of rest with the Cardinals having a scheduled off day Thursday.
