Conine isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

Conine will get a breather Wednesday after going 1-for-16 with nine strikeouts to begin the month of July. His absence will allow Heriberto Hernandez to bat sixth while picking up a start in left field.

Liranzo will not play in the All-Star Futures Game on Sunday due to a left finger laceration, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Liranzo was placed on Double-A Erie's 7-day injured list July 3 due to the finger injury. He hasn't progressed enough in his recovery to represent the American League in Sunday's Futures Game and has been replaced by Max Anderson of Triple-A Toledo. Liranzo is slashing .211/.343/.429 with one steal, nine home runs and 31 RBI across 201 plate appearances in Double-A this season.

McMahon is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

The left-handed-hitting McMahon will hit the bench for the second day in a row while the Rays send another lefty starter (Shane McClanahan) to the bump. Amed Rosario will cover third base in McMahon's stead and will bat third.

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

The Brewers will hand Turang his first day off since June 14, after he started each of the previous 22 games, including both legs of Tuesday's doubleheader. With Turang on the bench, Greg Jones will draw the start at second base and will bat ninth.

Ozuna will start at designated hitter and bat seventh Wednesday against Atlanta.

Ozuna will pick up just his second start through the Pirates' first seven games of July. Per Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, general manager Ben Cherington said Wednesday that Ozuna had been managing a toe injury that rendered him unavailable for a few of the Bucs' games in Washington over the weekend, but it's unclear if the 35-year-old would have started in any of those contests even if fully healthy. Ozuna has been a major disappointment this season, having thus far turned in a career-worst .610 OPS while striking out in 30.7 percent of his plate appearances.

The Angels activated Trout (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Trout will skip a rehab assignment and return to the active roster after missing nearly three weeks of action due to a right hamstring strain. The three-time American League MVP will start at designated hitter and bat second in Wednesday's contest against the Rangers.

Callihan is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

After starting in each of the last three games at three different positions, Callihan will give up his spot in the lineup Wednesday to designated hitter Marcell Ozuna. Callihan produced a 1.350 OPS in his first 10 games with Pittsburgh following his promotion from Triple-A Indianapolis in late May, but he's cooled down considerably since then, slashing .224/.278/.327 with a 35.2 percent strikeout rate over his subsequent 19 contests.

Davis will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Davis had already started behind the plate in two of the Pirates' previous three games, but Endy Rodriguez's (glute) move to the 10-day injured list Wednesday will clear the way for the former to serve as the team's primary backstop through the All-Star break. For the season, Davis is slashing an abysmal .155/.250/.323 slash line, but he's been much better since the beginning of June with a .758 OPS over 17 games.

The Twins placed Raya on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a right shoulder impingement.

Raya tossed two scoreless frames during his most recent appearance Saturday, but he seems to have come out of that outing with a shoulder issue. The rookie reliever will be eligible to return from the IL in late July, but the nature of the injury suggests he could be in line for a longer absence.

Jarvis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

Jarvis had started at shortstop in each of Atlanta's last three games, but after going 2-for-10 with a walk and an RBI during that stretch, he'll retreat to the bench while Jorge Mateo covers the position Wednesday. Jarvis and Mateo will likely share time at the position until Ronald Acuna's (hamstring) eventual return from the 10-day injured list allows Atlanta to move Mauricio Dubon out of the corner outfield and back into an everyday role at shortstop.
