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

Though the Rockies remain without Ezequiel Tovar (hip), Thairo Estrada (wrist), Aaron Schunk (groin) and Tyler Freeman (oblique) in the middle infield, Farmer no longer looks to be in the mix for regular playing time at second base or shortstop. He'll be on the bench for the fourth time in seven games, with the Rockies prioritizing Adael Amador ahead of him at the keystone and Alan Trejo at shortstop.

Smith is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Marlins, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Smith caught both of the first two games of the series, so he'll get a breather in Wednesday's finale. Austin Barnes will start behind the plate and bat ninth Wednesday as the Dodgers try to complete the sweep.

Edman is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Marlins, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Edman is out of the lineup for the second time in three days, though he came off the bench to deliver a game-winning, two-RBI single in the 10th inning of Monday's victory before adding three more RBI on Tuesday. Enrique Hernandez will start at second base and bat seventh for the Dodgers in Wednesday's series finale.

Moniak is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus Atlanta.

It's southpaw Chris Sale on the bump for Atlanta, so the left-handed-hitting Moniak will begin the contest on the bench. Sean Bouchard is getting the call in right field for the Rockies.

Bennett (elbow) is scheduled to make a rehab start with Single-A Fredericksburg on Thursday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

The upcoming outing will mark Bennett's first appearance in affiliated ball since August 2023. The 24-year-old southpaw missed the entire 2024 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery and currently resides on High-A Wilmington's 7-day injured list, but he may require just one or two starts with Fredericksburg before reporting to the Nationals' South Atlantic League affiliate.

Benge went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored and a stolen base for High-A Brooklyn on Tuesday.

The 19th overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft is finding his groove in the South Atlantic League. Benge has reeled off three straight multi-hit performances, and over his last 12 games for the Cyclones he's slashing .314/.375/.451 with four doubles, a homer, a steal, six RBI and 10 runs. Given his college background, the 22-year-old may not be far away from a promotion to Double-A if he keeps raking.

The Nationals promoted Lile from Double-A Harrisburg to Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

After splitting 2024 between Harrisburg and High-A Wilmington, Lile returned to Double-A to begin this season and quickly proved deserving of a stiffer test. The 22-year-old outfielder led the Eastern League in hits with 29 while slashing .319/.340/.505 with two homers, six steals, 14 RBI and 17 runs across 94 plate appearances in 21 games.

Olson went 3-for-5 with a double and three runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.

The first baseman continues to put a slow start to the season behind him. Olson's hit safely in 11 of the last 13 games, slashing .298/.431/.532 over that stretch with three homers, seven RBI and 13 runs.

Miller threw a scoreless inning during Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Padres, allowing one hit and striking out two.

The 27-year-old replaced Logan Webb in the sixth inning while facing a 5-4 deficit. Miller allowed a single while racking up a season-high mark in strikeouts and throwing 11 of his 18 pitches for strikes. The left-hander has surrendered only one run over 12 appearances this season, while allowing just two hits over his last six. Miller owns a 0.90 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and a 9:6 K:BB in 10 innings thus far.

Wade went 1-for-3 with a two-RBI double and a walk during Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Padres.

Wade lined a two-run double into left field in the sixth, capping a three-run inning for San Francisco. With that, the 31-year-old infielder recorded his first extra-base hit since April 11, his fourth double of the 2025 campaign. Wade has supplied a hit in three of the Giants' last five games, slashing .200/.333/.267 with a 3:1 BB:K across 18 plate appearances during that span.
