Keibert Ruiz - Riding pine Wednesday Ruiz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.
Luis García Jr. - Remains out of lineup Garcia (wrist/hand) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.
Impact Curtis Mead will make a second straight start at first base in place of Garcia, who is considered day-to-day after making an early exit from Sunday's 3-2 win over the Brewers due to a minor right wrist/hand sprain. According to MLB.com, Garcia isn't expected to require a stint on the injured list, though the club's tune could change if he's not able to return to the lineup for the start of the Nationals' weekend series in Miami.

Austin Martin - Hitting bench Wednesday Martin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
Impact He'll hit the bench Wednesday, but after opening the season in a short-side platoon role in the outfield, Martin is beginning to encroach on the left-handed-hitting Matt Wallner's playing time against right-handed pitching. Martin picked up starts in three of the Twins' previous four matchups with righties and is sporting a team-best .886 OPS over 100 plate appearances on the season.

Royce Lewis - Sitting amid tepid start to season Lewis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
Impact He had just received a day off Saturday, but after making two straight starts, Lewis will get another breather Wednesday and give way to Tristan Gray at third base. Aside from a minimum-length stint on the injured list in April due to a knee sprain, Lewis has been able to stay healthy this season, but his production has fallen off. Over 89 plate appearances, Lewis has produced a .582 OPS and has struck out at a 30.3 percent clip, with both representing career-worst marks for the 26-year-old.
