  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Absent from Wednesday's lineup

    Sosa is not in the White Sox's starting lineup against the Cardinals on Wednesday.

    Sosa returned from the 10-day injured list Tuesday and went 1-for-3 with a double. He'll be on the bench for the beginning of Wednesday's game while Josh Rojas starts at second base and bats ninth.

  • Angels' Christian Moore: Exiting starting nine

    Moore is not in the lineup for Wednesday's tilt versus the Yankees, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Moore has gone 1-for-13 with five strikeouts to kick off his major-league career, and Wednesday marks the second time in six games that he'll be absent from the lineup. Scott Kingery will cover second base and bat eighth for the Angels on Wednesday.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | KC

    Pirates' Adam Frazier: Exiting starting nine Wednesday

    Frazier is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

    The lefty-hitting Frazier had started in seven of the Pirates' previous eight games, but he'll be shielded Wednesday from arguably the game's top lefty in Tarik Skubal. Tommy Pham will replace Frazier in left field and bat eighth.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Sitting against lefty again

    Keith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

    Keith will hit the bench for the third consecutive game, with the Tigers having faced left-handed starting pitchers in each of those contests. The 23-year-old has been getting steady playing time versus right-handed pitching of late at either designated hitter or in the corner infield, though Keith could be at risk of sitting more frequently in those matchups once Matt Vierling (shoulder) returns from the injured list.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Exiting starting nine

    LeMahieu is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    LeMahieu went hitless in the first two games of the series and has gone just 1-for-14 over his last six contests. Oswald Peraza will fill in at second base and bat ninth for the Yankees on Wednesday while LeMahieu rests.

  • Thairo Estrada 2B | COL

    Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Taking seat Wednesday

    Estrada (hand) is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

    Estrada exited Tuesday's win after being hit in the right hand by a pitch. X-rays came back clean, but Estrada is likely sore and will be given at least one day of rest. Kyle Farmer will start at the keystone and bat second for the Rockies.

  • Cole Young SS | SEA

    Mariners' Cole Young: Heading to bench Wednesday

    Young is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Though he will hit the bench while the Red Sox send star southpaw Garrett Crochet to the mound, the lefty-hitting Young appears to have built up some job security as the Mariners' top second baseman against right-handed pitching. The rookie has slashed .379/.419/.483 with four runs and four RBI over his previous eight starts.

  • David Hamilton SS | BOS

    Red Sox's David Hamilton: Drawing third straight start

    Hamilton will start at second base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    Hamilton will pick up his third consecutive start at the keystone and has been an early beneficiary of Sunday's trade that sent Rafael Devers to San Francisco. His playing time could begin to dry up by the weekend, however, as the Red Sox are preparing to welcome another everyday player in Wilyer Abreu (oblique) from the injured list. Abreu's return will create a logjam in the outfield that could result in Roman Anthony seeing more starts at designated hitter and Kristian Campbell moving back to second base.

  • Thairo Estrada 2B | COL

    Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Suffers hand bruise

    Estrada went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 10-6 win over the Nationals, but he was removed from the game with a right hand contusion after being hit by a pitch in the seventh inning, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    The second baseman took Michael Soroka deep in the second inning, Estrada's first homer of the season and the first of seven for the Rockies to tie a franchise record. Colorado held a 7-1 lead when he was replaced by pinch runner Orlando Arcia, and X-rays taken after the game came back negative, but the team is likely to be cautious with Estrada given that he missed the first two months of the season with a fractured right wrist.

  • Ha-seong Kim SS | ATL

    Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: Resumes baseball activity

    Kim (shoulder/hamstring) resumed light baseball activity Monday, MLB.com reports.

    Kim was pulled off a rehab assignment Thursday due to hamstring tightness. Assuming his ramp-up goes well, he is expected to resume work with Triple-A Durham within the next week.
