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

Peterson finds himself on the bench for the fourth time in five games. Though his absence Wednesday comes with southpaw Jose Quintana on the bump, the lefty-hitting Peterson has also sat against two right-handed pitchers during that five-game stretch. Luis Urias looks to have wrested a regular role in the infield away from Peterson.

Moncada isn't starting Wednesday against Minnesota.

Moncada is getting a breather after he went 2-for-7 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and a strikeout over the last two games. Josh Harrison will take over at the hot corner and bat eighth.

The Orioles recalled Nevin from Triple-A Norfolk, and he'll start at third base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Nevin is joining the Orioles' 28-man active roster as a replacement for Ramon Urias (knee), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Assuming he sticks with Baltimore through the final week of the season, Nevin will likely form the short side of a platoon at the hot corner with the lefty-hitting Gunnar Henderson, who is sitting against Boston southpaw Rich Hill.

Henderson isn't starting Wednesday against the Red Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Henderson has gone just 1-for-19 with a homer, two runs, two RBI, five walks and nine strikeouts over his last six games, and he'll get a day off Wednesday. Tyler Nevin is starting at the hot corner and batting sixth.

The Orioles placed Urias on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right knee sprain.

Urias was diagnosed with the injury after he went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and a triple before exiting Tuesday's 13-9 loss to the Red Sox. Though his injury isn't believed to anything significant, his move to the IL will officially spell an end to his 2022 campaign, barring the Orioles overcoming long odds to clinch a wild-card berth. In his 445 plate appearances this season, the 28-year-old infielder contributed 16 home runs, 51 RBI, 50 runs and one stolen base to go with a .248/.305/.414 slash line.

Rivera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Houston.

After making starts in four consecutive games last week, Rivera will now find himself on the bench for the fourth straight contest. He looks set to finish the season as a short-side platoon player for the Diamondbacks.

Devers went 2-for-4 with a walk and two RBI in Tuesday's 13-9 win over the Orioles.

After pounding out a double and a pair of base hits in Monday's 14-8 loss, Devers continued to torture Baltimore pitching in the second game of the series with another two singles. Devers, who is hitting .366 over his last 10 games, will start at third base and bat second in Wednesday's game, according to Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican.

Suarez (finger), activated from the injured list earlier in the day, went 0-for-3 with a walk while serving as the designated hitter in a loss to the Rangers on Tuesday.

The Associated Press reports Suarez took grounders in the infield prior to the game to test out his finger, and the decision was apparently made at that point for him to hold off on playing defense for at least Tuesday's game. Suarez was at least able to return from his IL stint in minimum time, and his bat figures to be key in the Mariners trying to snap their untimely late-season funk and lock down an AL wild-card spot.

Walls went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored Tuesday against the Guardians.

Walls reached base on a one-out single in the second inning and stole second base. He has 10 steals on the season, three of which have come since Sept. 7. Walls has struggled otherwise, maintaining just a .173/.264/.281 line with seven home runs and 51 runs scored across 445 plate appearances on the campaign. Even so, Walls has started in both of the Rays' past two games against right-handed pitchers and appears to have at least temporarily emerged as the team's preferred option at second base ahead of Jonathan Aranda.

Castro isn't starting Wednesday against the Reds.

Castro went 0-for-3 with a walk and three strikeouts Tuesday and will head to the bench for the second time in the last three games. Kevin Newman is taking over at the keystone and batting seventh.
