The Padres designated Davis for assignment Wednesday.

The Padres needed to clear space for new acquisitions Martin Perez, Tanner Scott and Bryan Hoeing, so Davis will be jettisoned off both the active roster and the 40-man. The 31-year-old southpaw appeared in seven games for San Diego, allowing seven runs in seven innings while striking out six batters and walking five.

The Pirates placed Palacios on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left hamstring strain, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Palacios made an early exit from Monday's game versus the Astros due to a hamstring injury, and it will now officially force him to miss at least the first portion of August. Bryan De La Cruz was officially activated to fill the open roster spot, and he figures to take over as Pittsburgh's primary right fielder.

Canha isn't in the Giants' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Canha was traded from Detroit to San Francisco on Tuesday, but he will have to wait until Friday to make his Giants debut in Cincinnati. Marco Luciano will start as the designated hitter Wednesday while Brett Wisely starts at second base.

Doyle (finger) will start in center field and bat third in Wednesday's game against the Angels.

The Rockies withheld Doyle from the lineup for Tuesday's series opener while he dealt with a bruised right index finger, but he still felt well enough to come off the bench to log two at-bats and play two innings in the outfield in a 10-7 loss. Doyle will take back his usual spot in center field Wednesday and should be ready to handle an everyday role moving forward.

Peralta is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

After starting each of the Padres' past four contests, Peralta will get a standard day of rest while the Dodgers send a lefty (Clayton Kershaw) to the hill. The switch-hitting Bryce Johnson will get the nod in right field in place of the lefty-hitting Peralta.

Higashioka is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

Higashioka will pick up some rest after he started at catcher in each of the Friars' last three games. Luis Campusano will step in for Higashioka behind the plate while batting eighth.

The Dodgers optioned Wrobleski to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Wrobleski did a solid job in his first four major-league starts, posting a 4.05 ERA and 15:7 K:BB over 20 innings. Someone needed to be sent down to make room for trade-deadline pickup Jack Flaherty, however, and the Dodgers have chosen to remove Wrobleski from the five-man rotation rather than fellow rookie River Ryan. The left-hander will rejoin the rotation at Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he's allowed five runs with a 17:3 K:BB across 10.1 frames this season.

Tauchman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

With southpaw Nick Lodolo toeing the rubber for the Reds, the lefty-hitting Tauchman will hit the bench Wednesday. Cody Bellinger will get a day out of the outfield and will replace Tauchman as the Cubs' designated hitter.

Sanchez (7-7) took the loss against the Yankees Wednesday, allowing six runs on eight hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out seven.

Sanchez didn't pitch as poorly as his final line would indicate -- the majority of the damage against him came on DJ LeMahieu's grand slam in the second inning. The left-hander would then keep the Yankees off the board for three straight innings. Sanchez allowed a pair of two-out singles in the sixth before he was replaced by Jose Ruiz, who would allow both inherited runners to score. It's the third straight loss for Sanchez, who's struggled to a 6.59 ERA in his last five outings. His ERA is up to 3.36 on the season with a 1.28 WHIP and 98:31 K:BB across 21 starts (120.2 innings). Sanchez is projected for a tough road matchup with the Dodgers early next week.

Busch is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

Busch will be joined on the bench by fellow left-handed hitter Mike Tauchman while the Reds send southpaw Nick Lodolo to the hill. Patrick Wisdom will cover first base in Busch's stead.
