Juan Soto - Will sit Wednesday Padres manager Bob Melvin said after Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Padres that Soto will sit out Wednesday's series finale, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
Impact According to Melvin, Soto has been bothered by a finger injury since spring training, but the outfielder's absence from the lineup Wednesday seems to be mostly for maintenance-related reasons. The Padres are off Thursday, so Soto will get two full days to rest up before the club returns to action Friday versus the Rangers. In Tuesday's contest, Soto went 1-for-5 with a solo home run, his 20th of the season.

Gary Sánchez - Collects three hits, three RBI Sanchez went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Pirates.
Impact Sanchez posted his second three-hit game of the campaign and had his first multi-hit effort since June 30. The 30-year-old is batting just .208 in July but has hits in four of his past five games, going 6-for-16 with two homers and six RBI.

Blake Snell - Walks five in win Snell (7-8) earned the win Tuesday versus the Pirates after he gave up one run on two hits and five walks over six innings. He struck out four.
Impact Snell's command was a bit scattershot as he threw just 54 of 102 pitches for a strike and issued three-plus walks for the fifth straight outing, but he still limited Pittsburgh to a single run. The left-hander has walked 22 batters across 27 frames during that five-start stretch, but he's somehow managed to give up just a pair of runs. It remains to be seen how long Snell can continue to walk the tightrope like that, and a likely matchup with the Rangers this weekend will be a tougher test.
