Keaschall is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox.

Keaschall has slashed a healthy .269/.395/.373 in May following a rough April, though with zero home runs and three steals, the counting stats haven't been really been there. Orlando Arcia will play second base Thursday while Keaschall rests.

Torres (oblique) will travel to Triple-A Toledo on Friday to begin a rehab assignment, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Torres is expected to work out with Toledo for a day or two before getting into game action. He's been sidelined for nearly four weeks with a left oblique strain and is poised to return to the Tigers' active roster in early June, assuming all goes well on his rehab assignment.

Peraza is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest in Detroit.

Peraza started each of the previous five tilts for the Angels but will take a seat for Thursday's series finale. Adam Frazier will cover second base and Donovan Walton will be at third base.

Bazzana went 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Nationals.

Bazzana's multi-hit effort extended a hit streak to five games, during which the rookie has gone 8-for-19 with a home run, five doubles, two RBI and two runs scored. All of that production came as the Guardians' leadoff batter, a role that opened up because of Steven Kwan's season-opening slump.

Kiner-Falefa started at third base and went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 8-0 win over Atlanta.

Kiner-Falefa was part of a small-ball, six-run fourth inning built on five singles, a walk, an error and a sacrifice. It was the fourth straight game with at least one RBI for Kiner-Falefa, who started three of those games (once at shortstop and twice at the hot corner). Given the injury to Trevor Story (abdomen) and unproductive bat of Caleb Durbin, there may be more starting opportunities for Kiner-Falefa.

Meidroth went 2-for-5 with a grand slam in Wednesday's 15-2 win versus the Twins.

Meidroth expanded the White Sox's lead to 12 with his seventh-inning grand slam off Travis Adams. The 24-year-old has already matched his home-run total from last season (5) over 122 games through just 52 contests while also raising his OPS from last season's .649 to .739. It was also Meidroth's first career grand slam.

Lowe went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 10-4 loss to the Cubs.

Lowe extended his hitting streak to four games courtesy of a third-inning three-run shot off Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon. The slugging second baseman has hit safely in 15 of his 23 outings during the month of May, racking up multiple knocks in four of his past seven games. Lowe is flourishing during his first year with Pittsburgh, slashing .269/.355/.560 with 14 long balls, 12 doubles, 36 RBI and 33 runs over 220 plate appearances.

Edwards went 3-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

The 26-year-old infielder continues racking up hits. Edwards has produced six multi-hit performances in the last 15 games, a stretch in which he's batting .322 (19-for-59) with two home runs, four steals, five RBI and 13 runs.

Duran was removed from Wednesday's game against the Astros due to an illness, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Duran went 0-for-2 with a strikeout before he began to feel under the weather. He could be held out for another day or two while he recovers, which would leave Nicky Lopez as the next man up to start at shortstop for Texas.

The Dodgers recalled Freeland from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

Freeland will return to Los Angeles to replace Enrique Hernandez, who is set to miss several weeks due to a severe left oblique strain. Freeland is expected to split reps at second base with Hyeseong Kim, though manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that the former has earned a bit more runway and will therefore receive the lion's share of opportunities, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic.
