  • Red Sox's Christian Arroyo: Remains out with hamstring injury

    Arroyo (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

    Arroyo will be on the bench for the second game in a row due to hamstring tightness and is unlikely to be ready to play in Thursday's series finale. With Arroyo banged up and Yu Chang (personal) on paternity leave, the Red Sox called up Enmanuel Valdez from Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday to restore some depth in the infield. Valdez will make his MLB debut against the Twins, manning second base while batting eighth.

  • Dodgers' Yonny Hernandez: Summoned from Triple-A

    The Dodgers recalled Hernandez from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

    Hernandez will assume the 26-man active roster spot of Miguel Rojas, who was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain. With Gavin Lux (knee) out for the season, Chris Taylor (side) day-to-day and Mookie Betts (personal) still away from the team on paternity leave, Hernandez will bolster the Dodgers' infield depth in the short term. Hernandez recently resided on Oklahoma City's injured list due to an unspecified issue, but he's ostensibly healthy now after he returned from a two-week absence to play Tuesday versus Triple-A Albuquerque.

  • Jose Caballero SS | NYY

    Mariners' Jose Caballero: Draws first MLB start

    Caballero drew his first major-league start in Tuesday's extra-innings loss to the Brewers and went 0-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base.

    Caballero was just summoned from Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday and made his big-league debut as a defensive replacement the same day against the Rockies. He slotted into the No. 8 spot in the order while starting at shortstop Tuesday and was able to make some modest contributions during his first plate appearance. Caballero was off to a great start with the Rainiers before the promotion (.333 average, 1.143 OPS in 40 plate appearances), but he's believed to be in for a brief stint with the Mariners while Sam Haggerty (concussion) goes through a 7-day IL stint.

  • Luis Guillorme 3B | HOU

    Mets' Luis Guillorme: Getting a start

    Guillorme is starting at second base and batting ninth for the Mets on Wednesday against the Dodgers, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Manager Buck Showalter is loading up his lineup with lefties against former Met Noah Syndergaard. Guillorme has had a quiet year at the plate, although he did reach base five times in a start over the weekend.

  • Ji-Hwan Bae 2B | NYM

    Pirates' Ji Hwan Bae: Takes seat against lefty

    Bae is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

    Bae will get a seat against southpaw Austin Gomber after going 1-for-3 with a walk in Tuesday's 5-3 victory over Colorado. Mark Mathias will handle second base duties and hit seventh in the series finale.

  • Red Sox's Enmanuel Valdez: Gets big-league call-up

    The Red Sox will call up Valdez from Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    Valdez is getting his first taste of the big leagues after Boston placed infielder Yu Chang on the paternity list prior to Wednesday's game against the Twins. The 24-year-old Valdez, who was hitting just .179 over 11 games at Worcester, will provide Boston with some added infield depth while Chang is away from the club for the next 1-to-3 days.

  • Nolan Gorman 3B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Getting Wednesday off

    Gorman is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Gorman will get a day of rest against left-hander Madison Bumgarner. The 22-year-old sits with Willson Contreras operating as the designated hitter and Andrew Knizner starting behind the plate.

  • Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Remains sidelined Wednedsay

    Donovan (lower leg) is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Donovan will miss a second game in a row Wednesday as he nurses a shin abrasion. Taylor Motter will draw another start, taking over at second base and batting eighth in the series finale with Arizona.

  • Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL

    Braves' Ozzie Albies: Swats fourth homer

    Albies went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's win over the Padres.

    His eighth-inning shot off Nabil Crismatt, Albies' fourth long ball this season, gave Atlanta a 5-0 lead. After a bit of a slow start at the plate, the second baseman is batting .282 (11-for-39) over his last 10 games with six runs and 10 RBI, though Albies is still looking for his first steal of 2023.

  • Nicky Lopez 2B | TEX

    Royals' Nicky Lopez: Sitting Wednesday

    Lopez will sit Wednesday against the Rangers.

    After going 4-for-18 with two doubles, an RBI and two runs scored while starting the last six games, Lopez will get a breather in Wednesday's series finale with Texas. Matt Duffy will take over at second base and bat seventh versus the Rangers.
