Volpe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Volpe was held out of the lineup for six straight games after receiving a cortisone injection to treat a partial labrum tear in his left shoulder last week, but the 24-year-old made his return to the lineup Tuesday. He delivered an encouraging effort in his first start in a week, having a clean day in the field while going 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, an RBI and two runs in the Yankees' 10-9 win. Despite Volpe's strong game, manager Aaron Boone is likely to take a day-by-day approach at the shortstop position, so Volpe could become part of a timeshare with Jose Caballero while the season winds down. Caballero will get the nod at shortstop in Wednesday's series finale.

Collins isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Angels.

Wednesday marks the second consecutive game that Collins will begin on the bench after logging just two hits over his last six contests. While he sits, Jackson Chourio, Blake Perkins and Sal Frelick will start across the outfield for Milwaukee.

Beavers went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer, a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the White Sox.

Following a 10-game stretch in which he went batted .148 (4-for-27), Beavers has three extra-base hits, including a pair of home runs, in his last two contests. The 24-year-old rookie is slashing .277/.423/.470 with three long balls, 13 RBI, 13 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases through his first 105 plate appearances in the big leagues.

Wells is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Wells will get the night off after he started behind the plate in the first two games of the series while going 2-for-7 with a double, an RBI and two runs. Ben Rice will handle catching duties for the Yankees in the series finale.

Stanton is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Stanton will rest up Wednesday after he went 3-for-12 with two RBI and a run while starting each of the last three days. With Stanton on the bench, Aaron Judge will get a day off from playing the outfield but will stick in the lineup at designated hitter.

Ortiz isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

Ortiz will receive a day off Wednesday after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Tuesday's series opener. Andruw Monasterio will replace him at shortstop and bat ninth.

Davidson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Davidson had started at first base in five straight games from last Wednesday through Sunday, but he went just 3-for-18 with nine strikeouts during that stretch. He's now on the bench for the second time in as many days, with Oswald Peraza getting the nod at first base Wednesday. The Angels could use a three-man committee of Peraza, Davidson and Carter Kieboom at the position for the remainder of the season.

Steer went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer and five total RBI in Wednesday's 6-2 win over St. Louis.

Steer got the Reds on the board in the fourth inning with a 411-foot blast off Andre Pallante before extending the lead to 6-2 with a two-run single in the seventh. Steer, who had missed Cincinnati's previous three games due to neck spasms, has gone 13-for-43 (.302) in his last 15 contests, though he's found himself in a platoon role recently with Sal Stewart. Overall, Steer is slashing .242/.311/.405 with 18 homers, 69 RBI, 62 runs scored and seven steals across 528 plate appearances this season.

Rivas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

The switch-hitting Rivas will take a seat for the fourth time in five games, with three of those absences coming against left-handed pitchers. The Mariners seem to be prioritizing Rivas ahead of Cole Young at second base of late, but Jorge Polanco will remain a factor at the position on days in which he's not serving as the designated hitter.

Bart went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Wednesday's 8-4 loss to the Cubs.

Bart got Pittsburgh on the board in the first inning with a two-out, 419-foot blast off Matthew Boyd, his third homer of the year and his first in 19 games. Bart had gone just 1-for-14 in his last seven contests coming into Wednesday. Overall, he's batting .240 with a .671 OPS, 26 RBI and 19 runs scored across 317 plate appearances this season.
