LeMahieu (wrist) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus Baltimore.

The 33-year-old received a cortisone injection after being scratched from Tuesday's lineup with left wrist discomfort, so it's not a major surprise he's not back in the starting nine a day later. The Yankees made a bunch of roster moves Wednesday which didn't include LeMahieu heading to the injured list, and that could indicate he's expected to be available within the next couple days.

Walls is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

With Yandy Diaz (shoulder) returning from a two-game absence to cover third base, Walls will take a seat for the series finale. Even if Diaz ends up seeing most of his starts at the hot corner moving forward, Walls would still have a pathway to playing time at the keystone, where Vidal Brujan hasn't provided much of an impact at the plate while serving as the primary replacement for the injured Brandon Lowe (back).

Cabbage is expected to miss 3-to-4 months after he was diagnosed with a fractured left forearm, which he suffered Friday in a game for Double-A Rocket City, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Before picking up the injury, Cabbage slashed .327/.434/.664 with 10 home runs and 10 stolen bases over 136 plate appearances. His projected recovery timeline puts him in danger of missing the rest of the season.

Bregman went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI on Tuesday against the Guardians.

Bregman made the most of his lone hit by delivering a two-RBI double in the third inning. He's had a productive three-game stretch, collecting three extra-base hits, four RBI and two runs scored. Overall, Bregman is hitting .230/.346/.426 across 179 plate appearances.

Devers went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 16-3 win over the White Sox.

Devers keeps mashing with no sign of slowing down. He's hit safely in 37 of 42 games and is tied for the league lead with 26 extra-base hits. He ranks sixth in average (.337), fifth in slugging (.606) and seventh in OPS (.972).

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two RBI in Tuesday's loss to the Astros.

The third baseman took Framber Valdez deep in the first inning before adding a double and an RBI groundout later in the contest. The long ball was Ramirez's 11th of the year, and he's homered in back-to-back games and four times in his last seven contests. Over that stretch, the 29-year-old has batted .296 with four home runs, 11 RBI, five runs and a stolen base. He's now batting .293 with 11 homers, 24 runs, three stolen bases and an MLB-high 43 RBI over 147 at-bats in 39 games this season.

Urshela went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's victory over the Tigers.

Urshela notched an RBI single off Beau Brieske in the bottom of the second inning, driving in Max Kepler. He later added two more singles, notching his second multi-hit contest of the month and first since May 14. The third baseman has secured at least one hit in five of his last six games, batting .438 with five RBI in those contests. If he can maintain this level of production moving forward, he could see himself reinstated closer to the top of the batting order later this season.

LeMahieu (wrist) had an MRI come back clean and received a cortisone injection Tuesday, and he is expected back in the lineup within a day or two, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

The veteran infielder was scratched from Tuesday's lineup due to left wrist discomfort, and the team didn't waste any time getting him treatment for the injury. LeMahieu seems unlikely to be available for Wednesday's series finale versus Baltimore, but he could return to action during the upcoming four-game set in Tampa Bay, which begins Thursday.

Rivera was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Diamondbacks due to an illness, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Kyle Isbel was also scratched Tuesday due to illness symptoms, though neither player is in the COVID-19 protocols as of yet. The Royals have a scheduled day off Wednesday, and Rivera should be considered day-to-day heading into Thursday's series opener at Minnesota.

Rivera (undisclosed) was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Diamondbacks.

The reason for the late lineup change is unclear, so Rivera should be considered day-to-day until his status is updated. Kansas City has a scheduled day off Wednesday. Ryan O'Hearn has entered the lineup in Rivera's place.
