Gallo (wrist) will start at first base and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game in San Francisco, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Gallo was hit on the left wrist by a pitch in Tuesday's game, but X-rays came back negative and he's back in the lineup a day later. The 30-year-old is slashing .167/.302/.417 in his first 10 games with the Nationals.

Murphy will start at catcher and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Though he was able to beat out Joey Bart for the Giants' No. 2 catcher job before Bart was dealt to Pittsburgh earlier this month, Murphy has seen limited action behind No. 1 backstop Patrick Bailey. With Bailey getting a breather in the day game after a night game, Murphy will draw his fourth start through the Giants' first 13 games.

Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

With left-hander Patrick Corbin on the mound for Washington, the lefty-hitting Wade will give way to platoon partner Wilmer Flores at first base in the series finale.

Yastrzemski is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Nationals, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Left-hander Patrick Corbin will be on the hill for the Nationals, so the lefty-hitting Yastrzemski is getting a day off. Austin Slater will replace Yastrzemski in right field and bat leadoff.

Triple-A Sacramento placed Meckler on its 7-day injured list March 29 with an unspecified injury.

Before he was optioned to Triple-A on March 13 after failing to win a spot on the Giants' Opening Day roster, Meckler wasn't known to be dealing with an injury. The 23-year-old is without a clear timeline to resume playing for Sacramento.

Bailey is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Nationals, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

It's a routine day of rest for the Giants' top catcher. Tom Murphy will be behind the plate for Jordan Hicks on Wednesday.

Lee is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Lee was the center fielder and leadoff man in each of the Giants' first 12 games of the season, but he'll receive his first day off Wednesday. Tyler Fitzgerald will handle center field and Austin Slater will be perched atop the batting order.

The Mets optioned Nunez to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Nunez allowed one run over two innings in his major-league debut Tuesday in Atlanta and was immediately sent back down after the game. Tyler Jay was called up from Syracuse and will take Nunez's spot in the bullpen.

Nootbaar (ribs) could be activated from the injured list Friday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Nootbaar will play in what might be his final rehab game with Double-A Springfield on Wednesday. The Cardinals have an off day Thursday and Nootbaar could join them for the beginning of their road trip this weekend in Arizona. Nootbaar has been out all season with two non-displaced fractures in his left ribcage. He had been slated for everyday duties in left field before getting hurt, but it's possible the Cards will consider using him in center field if they opt to send Victor Scott down.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Diaz will get a breather for the day game after he caught both of the first two contests of the series while going 3-for-7 with a pair of RBI to extend his hitting streak to five games. Jacob Stallings will check in for Diaz behind the dish.
