Burger is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

Zach Remillard will start at third base and bat eighth versus the Jays and right-hander Jose Berrios. Burger was a great surprise for the White Sox over the first two months of the 2023 season, but he is batting just .150 with a .620 OPS in 109 plate appearances since the beginning of June.

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

The lefty-hitting Peterson will give way to Aledmys Diaz at third base while southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez takes the bump for Detroit. Peterson -- who also sat Tuesday against lefty Tarik Skubal -- is slashing just .171/.222/.171 in 46 plate appearances versus southpaws in 2023.

Miranda is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Royals.

Miranda started each of the last three days at third base after coming up to take Royce Lewis' (oblique) roster spot but went hitless in each game. He'll now take a seat for this one in favor of Donovan Solano.

Jung batted third and went 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI in Tuesday's 6-2 win over Boston.

Jung and Nathaniel Lowe were switched in the batting order, and the rookie third baseman produced a second straight multi-hit game. He has hits in seven of the last eight games, going 10-for-32 with two doubles, two home runs and seven RBI during that stretch. Manager Bruce Bochy has toyed around with Jung hitting third -- Tuesday was the fourth time in the last 15 games -- but the manager hasn't made it a permanent fixture.

Freeman went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over Atlanta.

Freeman has hit safely in just four of his last 11 games, with each of those instances being multi-hit efforts. He's stuck behind Jose Ramirez, Amed Rosario and Andres Gimenez for playing time in Cleveland's infield, but Freeman has made the most of his recent chances. For the season, he's batting .290 with a .715 OPS, four RBI, two steals, 10 runs scored, six doubles and no home runs over 68 plate appearances.

Rendon was pulled from Tuesday's game against San Diego with a left shin contusion.

X-rays came back negative after Rendon fouled a ball off his left leg. While it appears he avoided serious injury, a stint on the injured list isn't completely out of the question. Eduardo Escobar figures to see an uptick in playing time should Rendon sit out.

Rendon was removed from Tuesday's game against the Padres after fouling a ball off his left knee, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon immediately collapsed to the ground after fouling a ball off his knee and appeared to be in a great deal of pain. He had to be helped off the field by trainers and was replaced by Eduardo Escobar. More information regarding Rendon's injury will be available in the near future, but early signs aren't reassuring.

White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said Tuesday that Moncada (back) could begin a rehab assignment after the All-Star break, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Hahn's statement seemingly rules out the possibility of Moncada returning before the All-Star break, and it appears he might not be available immediately afterwards either. The 28-year-old third baseman has been on the injured list since June 15 due to a lingering back issue and is slashing .232/.279/.370 on the season.

Paredes (ribs) is starting at third base and batting fifth Tuesday against the Phillies, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Paredes was involved in a nasty collision with the Mariners' Ty France during Sunday's game, but he escaped without an injury and won't have to miss any contests. The 24-year-old hit his 14th home run of the season Sunday before exiting that tilt.

Donaldson is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Orioles, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

It marks three times in the last five games that Donaldson has been on the bench, and he's started just one contest at third base over that stretch. He's batting just .131 on the season.
