Receiving rest WednesdayCandelario is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.
Advice: Candelario will get a routine day off after he had been in the lineup for each of the previous five contests. Spencer Steer and Santiago Espinal will occupy the corner-infield spots for the Reds on Wednesday. Rotowire.comJeimer CandelarioCIN - 1B,3B10:10 am vs PIT -
Brett Baty hits sixth homer since Triple-A demotionBrett Baty hit his sixth homer in 15 games for Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.
Advice: Baty is hitting .333/.388/.700 with more homers (six to four), more doubles (four to three) and more RBI (18 to 16) in 15 games for Syracuse than he had in 50 games in the majors. The Mets could have recalled him yesterday in place of Starling Marte, but with Mark Vientos having earned regular playing time, they decided against it. A Pete Alonso or J.D. Martinez trade next month could create another opportunity for Baty. RotoworldBrett BatyNYM - 3B4:10 pm vs NYY -
Back in lineup, batting sixthArenado (forearm) will start at third base and bat sixth in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus Atlanta.
Advice: Arenado had been set to return Tuesday from a left forearm injury before that game was rained out and he remains in the lineup for the makeup game. The six spot represents the lowest Arenado has hit in his four seasons with the Cardinals. He is slashing just .257/.315/.371 on the season and hasn't homered since June 5.

Not in Wednesday's lineupPolanco is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Tampa Bay.
Advice: Polanco played the first two games of the series upon his return from the injured list, going 1-for-8 with one run scored and four strikeouts. He'll receive a breather Wednesday as Dylan Moore fills in at second base. Rotowire.comJorge PolancoSEA - 2B,3B9:10 am @TB -
Looks set to join big club ThursdayThe Reds announced Wednesday that Marte (suspension) has rejoined the team after completing his rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville.
Advice: Marte won't be eligible to return from his 80-game suspension until Thursday's series opener in St. Louis, but since he's back in Cincinnati rather than sticking around in Louisville, the Reds are presumably preparing to add him back to the 26-man active roster ahead of their four-game series this weekend. The 22-year-old struggled to regain his timing at the plate during the rehab assignment, slashing .151/.151/.170 with no walks and a 28.3 percent strikeout rate over 12 games. However, after Marte posted an .822 OPS in 123 plate appearances in his first taste of the big leagues in 2023, the Reds look as though they'll allow him to iron out the kinks in the majors. He's seen action at third base, second base and shortstop during his rehab assignment and may have to settle for more of a utility role with the Reds initially until he performs well enough to warrant everyday playing time.

On fire at Triple-ANoel is slashing .402/.471/.705 with nine home runs and a 14.5 percent strikeout rate in his last 30 games for Triple-A Columbus.
Advice: With Kyle Manzardo failing to take a big-league job and run with it and Noel already being on the 40-man roster, Noel could get a shot as Cleveland's designated hitter sometime this summer. The righty-hitting slugger has huge raw power, and while he has seen 25 starts in the corner outfield spots this season, he's probably too big (6-foot-3, 250 pounds) to get regular starts in the outfield at the highest level.

Gio Urshela gets Wednesday off for TigersGio Urshela is out of the Tigers lineup Wednesday for the first time since June 15.
Advice: Urshela, who is hitting .253/.292/.322 on the season, didn’t seem likely to play quite this much when he came off the IL last month, but injuries to Kerry Carpenter and Javier Báez have eliminated any real need to get Matt Vierling and Andy Ibáñez playing time at third. Vierling is playing the hot corner today on what’s probably just a routine day off for Urshela. RotoworldGio UrshelaDET - 1B,3B,SS10:10 am vs PHI -
Sitting against righty WednesdayMcKinstry is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Advice: After he was on the bench for Tuesday's 4-1 win while southpaw Ranger Suarez took the hill for the Phillies, the lefty-hitting McKinstry will remain out of the lineup against Philadelphia right-hander Spencer Turnbull in the series finale. The Tigers may not be adhering to a strict platoon at shortstop between McKinstry and the righty-hitting Ryan Kreidler, as McKinstry has now sat in three of Detroit's last five matchups with righties.

Resting for day gameUrshela is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Advice: He'll take a seat for the day game after a night game, paving the way for Matt Vierling to pick up a start at third base. Urshela had been included in the Detroit lineup in each of the last nine games, going just 4-for-34 at the plate to bring his batting average down to .253 for the season.
