Ortiz is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Padres.

Righty Walker Buehler will be on the bump for the Padres, marking a rare occasion in which the left-handed-hitting Ortiz is not starting against a right-handed hurler. Yohandy Morales will play first base and will bat fifth for the Nationals.

House is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Diego.

House will receive a day of rest after starting each of the previous five contests at third base. Andres Chaparro will cover the hot corner and will bat third as the Nationals look to avoid their seventh consecutive loss.

Zastryzny (shoulder) has been sent to Triple-A Nashville to begin a rehab assignment, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Zastryzny hasn't pitched for the Brewers this season because of shoulder and intercostal injuries and has encountered multiple starts and stops on his rehab. He's ready to give it another go again in what will be his first game appearance in more than two months. Zastryzny could become an option for the Brewers' bullpen later this month if all goes well.

Whisenhunt will undergo Tommy John surgery Sept. 16, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

It had already been reported that Whisenhunt would have surgery to repair his left elbow UCL, and now it's been revealed that he will have a full Tommy John repair. The left-hander is likely to be sidelined until the 2028 campaign.

The Nationals recalled Yean from Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday.

He'll grab the roster and bullpen spot vacated by Zak Kent, who was optioned following Tuesday's game. Yean has made seven relief appearances for the Nationals this season, permitting only two runs with a 6:2 K:BB covering 10 innings of work.

Cronenworth is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Nationals.

He's getting a routine day off after starting each of the previous six games. Fernando Tatis will net a start at second base, and Jase Bowen will play right field for the Padres in the series finale.

Salas is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Salas is absent from the lineup for the second day in a row and has started only three of eight contests since being called up. The Padres are facing a fifth lefty (Jackson Kent) during that stretch Wednesday, which has contributed to Salas' lack of playing time. He's been in the batting order twice in three tilts versus righties. Luis Campusano will be behind the plate for the Padres on Wednesday.

Basabe is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Cardinals.

Basabe started the previous five contests for the Giants, but he'll exit the lineup for Wednesday's series finale. Jonah Cox will handle second base in Basabe's stead.

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

It's the first day off this season for the red-hot Devers, who is 11-for-30 with five home runs in his first eight contests this month. Bryce Eldridge will handle first base, while Turner Hill will grab a start at designated hitter as the Giants try to complete a series sweep.

Walker is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest in San Francisco.

It's the first time Walker has been out of the Cardinals' lineup since he missed two games in early August with a minor knee injury. Joshua Baez will shift over to right field, and Bryan Torres will handle left field as St. Louis looks to avoid the sweep.
