Uribe (groin) is out of Wednesday's lineup against the Royals, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's the third straight game Uribe will miss, as he was forced out of Sunday's contest with a testicular contusion after taking a hard-hit foul ball to the groin area. It's unclear how quickly he'll be able to return to the lineup, but in the meantime, Michael Martinez will draw the start at third base Wednesday and bat ninth against Ian Kennedy.
