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

The lefty-hitting Peralta will stay on the bench for the third game in a row, with the Padres facing southpaws in each of those contests. Since joining the Padres last Wednesday after being called up from Triple-A El Paso, Peralta appears to have settled into a platoon with the right-handed-hitting Donovan Solano, who is in the lineup for a third straight game.

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

Stewart had started in each of the past four games while Harrison Bader received two days off and with Starling Marte and J.D. Martinez both resting once. With the exception of catcher Francisco Alvarez (thumb), the Mets have all their key hitters available at the moment, so Stewart still looks to be part-time player despite the recent uptick in starting opportunities.

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

Baty was in the lineup for three of the last four games with the Mets facing four right-handed starting pitchers, but he'll give way to the righty-hitting Mark Vientos on Wednesday while southpaw James Paxton takes the hill for the Dodgers. Vientos should continue to regularly replace the lefty-hitting Baty when the Mets face lefties, but the distribution of starts at third base between the two against right-handed pitching still looks to be up in the air. Baty has helped his cause by getting on base five times in 12 plate appearances over his last three starts, but Vientos owns a 1.085 OPS since his May 15 call-up from Triple-A Syracuse to keep himself in the mix for starts against righties.

Heyward is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

The Dodgers are facing a left-handed starting pitcher (David Peterson) for the second consecutive game, so the lefty-hitting Heyward will once again be on the bench after he sat out the second leg of Tuesday's doubleheader. He'll cede his spot in the outfield to the right-handed-hitting Miguel Vargas, who has seemingly moved into the short side of a platoon with Heyward.

Lux is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

The Dodgers are facing a left-handed starting pitcher (David Peterson) for the second consecutive game, so the lefty-hitting Lux will once again be on the bench after he sat out the second leg of Tuesday's doubleheader. Miguel Rojas will step in at shortstop, with Mookie Betts playing second base for Lux, who went 1-for-5 with two strikeouts in the Dodgers' 5-2 extra-inning win in the opening game of the twin bill Tuesday.

Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The lefty-hitting Yastrzemski will get a breather in the series finale while southpaw Cristopher Sanchez toes the rubber for Philadelphia. Luis Matos will slide over from his usual spot in center field and pick up a start in right field in Yastrzemski's stead.

Wisely is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Though he'll retreat to the bench with southpaw Cristopher Sanchez on the hill for Philadelphia, the lefty-hitting Wisely looks to have captured the strong side of a platoon at shortstop with the right-handed-hitting Marco Luciano, who gets the starting nod Wednesday. Wisely started in five of the previous six games, going 9-for-17 with a home run, a stolen base, five RBI and three runs.

Bailey is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Bailey will be getting some routine maintenance in the series finale after he had started at catcher or designated hitter in each of the Giants' last five games. Curt Casali will fill in for Bailey behind the plate.

Anderson is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest in San Diego.

Anderson is just 5-for-24 in seven games since returning from the injured list, dragging his season line down to an unsightly .199/.235/.219. Vidal Brujan is at shortstop Wednesday and it wouldn't be a surprise if he begins to see more action at the position if Anderson's struggles continue.

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

Rojas will hit the bench for the series finale after he had manned center field in each of the last four games while going 4-for-9 with two doubles, three stolen bases and one run. Cristian Pache will fill in for Rojas in center field.
