Devers went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners.

Devers extended a hitless streak to 16 at-bats and finished Boston's seven-game homestand 2-for-23, which caused his batting average to dip below .200. He's had a few pockets of hitless runs in 2025, including a historic season-opening slump, when Devers struck out 15 times in his first 19 at-bats. On the bright side, he worked another eight walks during the homestand, and his 18.3 walk percentage is a career high.

Rooker isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers.

Rooker's performance has been trending in the right direction as of late, as he's gone 8-for-25 with three homers, five RBI and eight runs scored over the past week. He'll take a seat Thursday for the first time this season, opening up a spot in the lineup for Seth Brown to serve as the Athletics' designated hitter.

Polanco is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Boston.

The switch-hitting Polanco remains limited from the right side of the plate as he manages a side injury, so he'll take a seat as the Red Sox send southpaw Garrett Crochet to the bump. Cal Raleigh is in the designated-hitter spot Thursday, while Mitch Garver starts at catcher.

The Twins recalled Gasper from Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday.

Minnesota optioned Gasper to Triple-A less than a week ago, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the big club after super-utility man Willi Castro (oblique) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move. Gasper will serve as an emergency No. 3 catcher and will provide depth at three infield spots as well as left field, but he's unlikely to be in store for regular playing time after going 2-for-18 at the plate over 10 games in his initial stint with the Twins this season.

Maton is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.

The left-handed-hitting Maton finds himself on the bench for the second day in a row against a right-handed starting pitcher. After slashing just .167/.298/.313 with a 28.1 percent strikeout rate over 57 plate appearances to begin the season, Maton's time as a strong-side platoon player for the White Sox may well be over. Expect the White Sox to rotate a number of players at the designated-hitter spot rather than deploying Maton as their primary option.

Diaz went 3-for-6 with two doubles and three RBI in Wednesday's extra-inning win over the Diamondbacks.

Diaz established a season high with three RBI on Wednesday, and he also hit two doubles in a game for the first time this season. The veteran infielder now has six multi-hit performances in 2025, and he's been hitting for some more power lately. Over his last 14 outings, Diaz is batting .293 (17-for-58) with three home runs, four doubles, 10 RBI and seven runs scored.

Keaschall went 1-for-3 with one walk, one run scored and two steals in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the White Sox.

Keaschall got on base in the third and seventh innings, and in both frames he showed off his speed by stealing second base. He's up to five stolen bases, which is tied for most through the first five games of a major-league career since 1901, per MLB. Keaschall has gone 6-for-17 with four walks, four runs scored and two RBI to start his major-league career.

Larnach went 2-for-3 with one walk, a solo homer and an additional RBI in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the White Sox.

Larnach logged his first RBI in the fourth inning on a single that brought home Edouard Julien, and the former gave the Twins the lead in the sixth frame on a solo homer off Jordan Leasure. Larnach has belted homers in back-to-back games and in three of his last five outings. Over that span he has gone 6-for-17 with two walks, five runs scored, three home runs and five RBI.

Pederson isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

The lefty-hitting Pederson will grab a seat on the bench Wednesday against the lefty-throwing JP Sears and the A's. The 33-year-old slugger's absence will put Jonah Heim at the DH spot while Kyle Higashioka starts behind the dish.

Maton is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Maton has been a mainstay in the lineup against right-handed pitching for most of the season, but he'll hit the bench Wednesday even while the Twins send rightyDavid Festa to the hill. Since popping a pair of home runs in his first five games of the season, Maton has struggled to a .154/.267/.179 slash line over his ensuing 17 contests and has contributed just one extra-base hit. The White Sox could begin to phase him out of the lineup more frequently and instead rotate a number of players at the designated-hitter spot.
