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

With a southpaw (Tommy Henry) taking the hill for Arizona, the lefty-hitting Naylor will get a day off for the series finale. Owen Miller steps in at first base for Naylor, who returned from a three-game absence due to an ankle injury to start in the first two contests of the series with Arizona.

Dalbec started Tuesday and and went 1-for-2 with walk in a win over the Astros. However, once Hosmer is ready to join the active roster, expect to see less of Dalbec, who should see most of his opportunities against left-handed pitching moving forward.

The lefty-hitting Raley will take a seat for the series finale while southpaw Yusei Kikuchi takes the hill for Toronto. Roman Quinn will fill in as the Rays' right fielder in place of Raley, who went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in Tuesday's 3-1 loss.

Walker went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Guardians.
