Wade will start in right field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

After signing with the Angels and getting added to the 26-man active roster June 10, Wade played sparingly over his first week and a half with the team, but he's since moved into a strong-side platoon role in the corner outfield after Jorge Soler (back) landed on the shelf. Wade -- who has gone 4-for-23 with one stolen base, three runs and a 1:10 BB:K since joining the Halos -- will pick up his fifth start in six games Wednesday.

Toro is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Angels.

Toro is out of the lineup for a second straight day after starting the previous eight and 21 of the last 22 tilts. The Red Sox are facing a lefty (Yusei Kikuchi) for the second consecutive contest, and the switch-hitting Toro has been much better versus righties (.831 OPS, five home runs) than lefties (.679 OPS, zero home runs) this season. Romy Gonzalez and Nate Eaton will handle first base and third base, respectively.

Naylor (shoulder) will start at first base and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game versus the White Sox.

Naylor injured his right shoulder on a swing during Monday's 10-0 win over Chicago and wound up sitting out Tuesday's 4-1 victory after initially being listed in the lineup. He's back in the starting nine for Wednesday's series finale as the Diamondbacks try to complete the sweep.

Noda is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Since getting claimed off waivers from the Red Sox on June 13 and joining the White Sox, the left-handed-hitting Noda has been a fixture in the lineup against right-handed pitching at first base or designated hitter. However, Noda has gone just 2-for-21 with six walks and 13 strikeouts to begin his time with the White Sox, and it wouldn't be surprising if his time as a lineup regular was nearing its end. He'll take a seat against Arizona righty Zac Gallen to open up a spot in the starting nine for Michael Taylor.

Toglia went 3-for-5 with two RBI doubles and an additional double during Tuesday's 9-7 loss to the Dodgers.

Toglia clubbed a double in each of his first three at-bats, marking his fifth three-hit game of the campaign and his first career game with three doubles. In 242 plate appearances this season, Toglia is slashing .210/.277/.397 with nine home runs and three stolen bases.

Santana went 2-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 10-6 loss to the Blue Jays.

The veteran switch hitter got the Guardians on the board in the sixth inning by taking Eric Lauer deep, Santana's ninth homer of the season. The multi-hit effort was his first in June, however, and through 19 games on the month he's slashing just .186/.230/.286 with two home runs and eight RBI.

Aranda went 3-for-4 with a run scored Tuesday against the Royals.

Aranda began the season in a strict platoon while sitting against lefties. However, Tuesday's start against Kris Bubic marked the fourth time in his last five games that he's been in the lineup against a southpaw. Aranda also managed to extend his hitting streak to nine games, and he's gone 15-for-35 with four RBI and six runs scored in that span. Aranda has only one home run across his last 25 games, but he's a good source of batting average, runs and RBI.

Encarnacion-Strand went 2-for-4 with three RBI and a double in Tuesday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Yankees.

The three RBI matched a season high for Encarnacion-Strand and were his first in nine games. He supplied plenty of pop early in his return from the injured list but entered Tuesday with a .107 average and zero extra-base hits over the previous eight contests. Across his 49 at-bats since returning from a back injury, the slugging infielder is batting a healthy .265 with three home runs, two doubles and 10 RBI. Encarnacion-Strand remains in a timeshare with Spencer Steer at first base, however, and the former could face even more competition for playing time once Noelvi Marte (oblique) is ready to rejoin the Reds.

Olson went 2-for-4 with three RBI, a double, a run scored and a walk in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Mets.

Olson extended his on-base streak to 25 games in his big night at the plate, during which he racked up three RBI for the fourth time in June. Over his last 112 plate appearances, the star first baseman is slashing .304/.420/.522 with three home runs, 11 doubles and 23 RBI. Olson has also tallied at least one hit in 13 of his last 15 outings.

Harper (wrist) will go through his usual pre-game routine prior to Tuesday's game against the Astros, though he isn't expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list before the end of the series, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

The routine includes about 50 swings, fielding grounders and going through a throwing program, and if all goes well, he could take batting practice Wednesday. Harper continues to progress in his recovery from right wrist inflammation, and he appears to be lining up to rejoin the Phillies this weekend or next week, per Matt Gelb of The Athletic, though there's officially no timeline for his return.
