All-Star shortstop Dansby Swanson is on the 10-day IL with a right knee sprain.
Outfielder Seiya Suzuki had a planned day off.
Right-handed reliever Colten Brewer was placed on the 15-day IL with a low back strain.
Right-hander Porter Hodge was called up from Triple-A Iowa, potentially making his major league debut.
