Garcia felt renewed pain in his left hand while playing in a rehab game at Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Tuesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Tuesday marked Garcia's return to game action after landing on the injured list in late June with a strained muscle in his left hand. He was originally slated to play another game Wednesday, but he'll instead return to Kansas City for further evaluation. An updated timeline for his return could emerge after the team takes a closer look at him.

The Red Sox placed Mead (wrist) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

The Red Sox don't expect Mead to require surgery to repair his fractured left wrist and anticipate him remaining out for roughly 6-to-8 weeks, per Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, leaving room for Mead to return to action in the final few weeks of the regular season. With Boston also navigating injuries to Marcelo Mayer (forearm), Isiah Kiner-Falefa (forearm) and Trevor Story (abdomen), Anthony Seigler and Romy Gonzalez are the top candidates to start at second base for the time being. Nick Sogard will join the big club in a corresponding move to add depth.

Garcia (hand) went 0-for-3 with Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Tuesday.

Garcia logged five innings at third base but went hitless to begin his rehab assignment, as he works his way back from a muscle strain in his left hand that has kept him sidelined since June 22. The 26-year-old likely won't need an extended rehab assignment before rejoining the big-league club, though it's unclear how many minor-league games he'll require before being activated from the injured list. Garcia is slated to serve as the designated hitter for Wednesday's contest, per Anne Rogers of MLB.com. He's slashing .261/.320/.373 with three homers, 30 RBI, 32 runs and five stolen bases across 69 games.

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

The left-handed-hitting Keith had started in each of the Tigers' last seven games, but he'll retreat to the bench Wednesday while southpaw Trevor Rogers takes the mound for the Orioles. Hao-Yu Lee will step in at third base for Keith and will bat third.

White went 4-for-4 with two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox.

White was a hit machine, collecting four singles for the second time since being called up July 17. Through 10 games, the 23-year-old is slashing .359/.390/.410 in 41 plate appearances but has yet to record his first big-league RBI. With Zack Gelof (knee) and Joshua Kuroda-Grauer (groin) on the injured list, White appears to have a firm grip on a regular role at the hot corner.

Okamoto went 1-for-2 with a homer and two runs scored in Toronto's 8-6 loss to Washington on Tuesday.

After replacing the injured Vladimir Guerrero (hamstring) at first base in the bottom of the fourth inning, Okamoto clubbed a homer in his first at-bat in the fifth. The 30-year-old later came around to score on George Springer's three-run homer in the eighth. On the campaign, Okamoto is slashing .226/.304/.449 with 24 homers and 66 RBI in 427 plate appearances. If Guerrero is to miss time, Okamoto would likely receive more playing time at first base.

Ramirez went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and two stolen bases in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Reds.

The star third baseman produced a run nearly single-handedly in the fifth inning of an eventual 6-5 win for Cleveland, reaching on a one-out single, swiping second and third off the battery of Chase Burns and Tyler Stephenson, and then coming home on a Chase DeLauter sacrifice fly. Ramirez, who stole his first bags since returning from a hand injury July 22, is up to 26 steals on the season in just 78 games. After an 0-for-4 showing in the nightcap, he carries a .235/.332/.399 slash line with 10 homers, 35 RBI and 45 runs.

Caminero went 2-for-4 with an RBI triple and a double in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Texas.

Caminero drove in the only Rays run of the night with an RBI triple that scored Yandy Diaz in the sixth. The 23-year-old also notched his 18th double of the campaign in the fourth inning. The powerful third baseman is in the midst of a homer drought with no long balls over his past 10 games, though he's batting .317 with four doubles and Tuesday's triple during that stretch. On the season, Caminero is now slashing .285/.373/.550 with 29 home runs and 64 RBI in 464 plate appearances.

The Red Sox are expected to place Mead on the 10-day injured list after he was diagnosed Tuesday with a fractured left wrist, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.

Mead was hit on the wrist by a pitch during his second at-bat while making his Red Sox debut in Monday's 4-2 win over the Athletics, and the 25-year-old infielder is now facing an extended stint on the IL after follow-up tests on his wrist revealed a fracture. The team hasn't provided an estimated recovery timeline, though if Mead needs surgery, he could be lost for the season. The Red Sox plan to call up Nick Sogard from Triple-A Worcester to replace Mead on the 26-man active roster, and Anthony Seigler will likely reclaim a regular role at second base.

Guzman is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Astros, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Guzman had started the last four games since July 24 for the Angels, going 2-for-14 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored. As the third baseman hits the bench Tuesday, Vaughn Grissom is starting at third with Oswald Peraza taking over at second base.
