Martinez was removed from Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays with an apparent injury, Sean McAdam of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

Martinez led off the third inning with a double but appeared to suffer an injury while heading to second base, and he subsequently left the field. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, and the veteran slugger should be considered day-to-day until the team updates his status.

Jimenez is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Guardians due to a sore left ankle, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Manager Tony La Russa noted prior to the White Sox's 11-1 loss earlier Wednesday that Jimenez was dealing with some swelling in his foot after playing through the ankle injury he sustained from fouling a ball off himself. Jimenez was able to take batting practice Wednesday and could still be available as a pinch hitter for the second game of the twin bill.

Reyes isn't starting the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

Reyes started in the first game of Wednesday's twin bill and went 1-for-4 with a run, a walk and a strikeout. Jose Ramirez will serve as the designated hitter while Gabriel Arias starts at third base.

Collins isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Red Sox.

Collins had multi-hit performances in three of the last four games, going 8-for-15 with two homers, two doubles, four RBI and three runs during that time. He'll get a breather Wednesday while Vladimir Guerrero serves as the designated hitter with Cavan Biggio starting at first base.

Buxton (knee) isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Buxton hasn't played since exiting Friday's game against Boston with right knee soreness, but the Twins have remained optimistic about his health. Gilberto Celestino will start in center field and bat ninth Wednesday.

Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and an RBI on Tuesday against the Cubs.

Ramirez drove in what would ultimately prove to be the game-winning run in the seventh inning, driving a single into center field to score Randy Arozarena. Ramirez has been a part-time player to begin the campaign, but he has taken advantage of his recent opportunity by collecting three hits in his last 11 at-bats while scoring two runs and driving in two.

White Sox manager Tony La Russa said Jimenez is dealing with "a little foot soreness," which likely explains his absence from the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader in Cleveland, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Jimenez's foot issue was also a factor in the White Sox bringing up Adam Haseley from Triple-A Charlotte as the 29th man for the twin bill rather than reserving that spot for another pitcher. La Russa didn't seem too concerned about Jimenez's injury, so the slugger should be available off the bench for the first game of the doubleheader before potentially starting in the nightcap. The White Sox could look to deploy Jimenez as a designated hitter to limit the strain on his foot.

Jimenez isn't starting the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

Jimenez was in the lineup for the three-game series against the Rays over the weekend, and he went 2-for-10 with a walk and four strikeouts. Andrew Vaughn will start in left field while Adam Engel takes over in right.

Solak started in left field and went 0-for-4 in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to Seattle.

Solak made a fourth consecutive start in left field. That's by design whenever the Rangers are facing lefty starters, as they were in three of those four contests, but he also started against a righty because primary left fielder Brad Miller dealt with back tightness over the weekend. Miller returned to action Tuesday as a pinch hitter and played three innings at third base, which suggests he could be ready to go in the outfield Wednesday against Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert.

Miller (back) entered Tuesday's game as a pinch hitter for Charlie Culberson in the seventh inning and singled in his one at-bat, subsequently remaining in the game at third base.

Miller was shelved over the weekend, missing two games with tightness in his back, and he was not in Tuesday's starting lineup against left-hander Robbie Ray. He normally sits against lefties, so it was unsurprising to see him open on the bench, but his appearance as a pinch hitter and a fielder in the game suggests good health. The Mariners are scheduled to throw right-hander Logan Gilbert on Wednesday, so expect Miller to return as the left fielder.
