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.

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

Amaya will take a seat for the series finale after going 1-for-6 with a double while starting behind the plate in the first two games in Cincinnati. Christian Bethancourt will handle catching duties for the Cubs on Wednesday.

Marte (knee) will report to Single-A St. Lucie on Monday to begin a rehab assignment, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

He's expected to move his rehab up to Double-A Binghamton by the end of next week. While the Mets haven't revealed a target date for Marte's return, the team could be eyeing the start of its homestand Aug. 13 for the outfielder to come off the 10-day injured list. Marte has been sidelined since late June with a right knee bone bruise.

Cronenworth is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Dodgers.

Left-hander Clayton Kershaw will be the starting pitcher for the Dodgers, offering an opportunity for the lefty-hitting Cronenworth to get a little rest. Donovan Solano will play first base for the Padres.

The Cubs reinstated Kilian (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Kilian had been on the shelf all season while recovering from a teres major strain of his right shoulder, but he's healthy again after completing an eight-appearance rehab assignment in the minors. The last five of those outings came at Iowa, with whom Kilian gave up seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and five walks while striking out three over eight innings. Though his results were generally poor, Kilian tossed three no-hit innings in his most recent appearance Sunday. Kilian had been working in relief during his rehab assignment, but since the Cubs didn't have a spot in the bullpen available for him upon his activation, he could get stretched back out for starting duty with Iowa.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that Nimmo is day-to-day after X-rays on his left foot came back negative following his removal from Wednesday's 8-3 loss to the Twins, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Nimmo was lifted from the game ahead of the seventh inning after fouling a ball off the foot in the bottom of the sixth, but he's expected to be fine. The Mets have a scheduled off day Thursday, giving Nimmo some extra rest before a weekend series against the Angels.

Marte is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Now more than a month removed from returning to the Cincinnati lineup June 27 after completing his 80-game suspension to begin the season, Marte still has yet to get going at the plate. He enters Wednesday's contest with a .177/.223/.281 slash line and a 31.1 percent strikeout rate over 103 plate appearances. The Reds still seem committed to Marte as their everyday third baseman, but with the 22-year-old hitting the bench for the second time in the last four games, his leash may be getting shorter.
