    Adames is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

    The Brewers are sitting multiple regulars, including Adames, after clinching the NL Central title Tuesday. Brice Turang will shift to shortstop while Andruw Monasterio starts at the keystone.

  • Josh Donaldson 3B | MIL

    Brewers' Josh Donaldson: Takes seat Wednesday

    Donaldson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

  • Carlos Santana 1B | ATL

    Brewers' Carlos Santana: Not starting Wednesday

    Santana is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus St. Louis.

    Santana started the previous four games and went 8-for-17 with two doubles, a homer and six RBI during that span, but he'll take a seat after Milwaukee clinched the NL Central crown Tuesday. Rowdy Tellez will start at first base and bat fifth.

  • Ryan Feltner SP | COL

    Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Placed on 15-day IL

    The Rockies placed Feltner on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with right elbow inflammation.

    Feltner started the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Dodgers and probably wasn't going to make another appearance either way. The 27-year-old right-hander finishes the 2023 campaign with a 5.82 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 38:28 K:BB in 10 major-league starts covering 43.1 innings.

    Yelich is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

    The veteran outfielder will receive a day off after the Brewers clinched the NL Central title Tuesday. Tyrone Taylor, Blake Perkins and Sal Frelick will start from left to right in the outfield while Yelich sits.

  • Henry Davis C | PIT

    Pirates' Henry Davis: Playing through ankle issue

    Davis is dealing with an ankle injury and will bat fifth as the designated hitter Wednesday against the Phillies, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Davis tweaked his ankle while running the bases Tuesday, so he'll be limited to batting Wednesday after initially being slated to man right field. The injury doesn't appear to be a significant issue since the 24-year-old remains in the lineup.

  • Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Could return Thursday

    Manager Torey Lovullo said Gurriel (shoulder) could return to the lineup as early as Thursday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

    Gurriel was scratched from the Diamondbacks' lineup Wednesday versus the White Sox after experiencing tightness in his left shoulder during pregame batting practice, but it doesn't seem to be anything serious. He went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Tuesday's series opener and might be ready for Thursday's series finale.

  • Cubs' Christopher Morel: Out of Wednesday's lineup

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

    Morel will sit Wednesday while stuck in a 3-for-26 slump, though he did hit two solo homers during that stretch. Jeimer Candelario (back) is starting at first base in his return from the injured list while Miles Mastrobuoni mans the hot corner.

  • Kris Bryant RF | COL

    Rockies' Kris Bryant: Not starting Wednesday

    Bryant is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

    The 31-year-old was on the bench for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader and will sit again for Wednesday's contest. Bryant has been unable to get things going at the plate since he returned from the injured list Sept. 11, as he has a .180/.212/.360 slash line and 32.7 percent strikeout rate in 13 games.

  • Jose Fermin LF | STL

    Cardinals' Jose Fermin: Not in Wednesday's lineup

    Fermin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

    Fermin is 5-for-18 with a walk and no extra-base hits in six games since being promoted from Triple-A Memphis in early September. The 24-year-old has seen more action of late with Nolan Arenado (back) shut down for the final stretch of the season, though it's Juniel Querecuto starting at third base Wednesday.
