San Diego Padres outfielder Jurickson Profar (knee) was pulled from Wednesday's game against the hosting Pittsburgh Pirates after getting hit in the knee by a pitch. Profar tried to stay in the contest to run the bases after falling to the ground and writhing in pain, but he was removed after showing a noticeable limp on his way to second base during a Xander Bogaerts single. By the initial looks of the injury, fantasy managers should be relieved that Profar was able to walk it off and remain in the game temporarily. Consider the 31-year-old first-time All-Star day-to-day before the Padres re-evaluate him prior to Thursday's series finale against Pittsburgh. Ha-Seong Kim (triceps) replaced Profar in the lineup on Wednesday, suggesting he'll be back in the mix for San Diego on Thursday. The switch-hitting Bryce Johnson would be in line to join the starting lineup as well if Profar needs to miss additional time.UPDATE: X-rays came back negative on Profar, according to manager Mike Shildt, and he's considered day-to-day.

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays. With Goldy getting a day off, Alec Burleson will make the start at first base and will bat second versus Rays right-hander Taj Bradley. This will be Goldschmidt's first game sitting out of the lineup since July 13. The 36-year-old veteran right-handed slugger has gone hitless over his last seven at-bats with seven strikeouts in his last five games, so it's a pretty good time for St. Louis to sit him down. The seven-time All-Star has really tanked in his sixth year in St. Louis, as he's currently slashing just .228/.288/.384 with a career-worst .672 OPS with 17 homers, 43 RBI and six steals in 110 games. It's pretty hard to believe he was an MVP for the Cards just two years ago.

Seattle Mariners corner infielder Justin Turner (hand) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. The 39-year-old was removed from Tuesday's game after getting hit by a pitch in the hand. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative for any fractures. Turner will play first base and bat cleanup versus southpaw Tarik Skubal on Wednesday.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nick Pivetta is reportedly going to be skipped in the rotation next time around. Fantasy managers shouldn't need to worry as it doesn't sound like it's injury related. Instead, the Red Sox are skipping Pivetta in the rotation for rest purposes. The right-hander saw a drop in velocity during his last outing. The Red Sox want to be cautious and give Pivetta time to rest his arm. The team didn't announce who is going to make the start in his place.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Tyler O'Neill (calf, illness) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. O'Neill has been out since Friday due to an illness but he appears to have developed an infection in his lower calf. The Red Sox are going to play it safe and give him a few weeks off to rest and recover. In his absence, Rob Refsnyder will cover right field and bat second during Wednesday's game. Refsnyder figures to see increased playing time while O'Neill is out.
