Canha is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Astros.

Canha will get a breather after he went 1-for-2 with an RBI in Tuesday's 4-2 loss. Tommy Pham will replace him in left field while Daniel Vogelbach takes over at designated hitter and bats seventh in the series finale with Houston.

Cabrera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Cabrera had started each of the Tigers' last four games and seven of the past eight, so the 40-year-old will receive some much-needed maintenance while Detroit and Kansas City wrap up their series with a matinee contest. With Cabrera on the bench, Kerry Carpenter will re-enter the lineup following an off day Tuesday to serve as Detroit's designated hitter.

Winker is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Diamondbacks.

Winker will take a seat after he went 1-for-6 with a two-run homer and four strikeouts over the first two games of the series. Rowdy Tellez will take over at designated hitter and bat cleanup in the series finale with Arizona.

McCutchen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs due to a sore right elbow, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

Manager Derek Shelton downplayed concern about the injury, noting that McCutchen is day-to-day and is just receiving an additional game off to manage the elbow issue. With McCutchen sitting for the second straight contest, rookie Henry Davis will get another look as the Pirates' designated hitter.

Belt (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and will start Wednesday and bat third in the Blue Jays' series finale with the Marlins, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Belt is back in the lineup after missing the minimum 10 days while on the IL with a hamstring injury. The 35-year-old has produced a .296 average with two home runs, four doubles, four RBI and four runs scored over eight games in June. In order to open a roster spot for Belt, Spencer Horwitz was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move.

The Blue Jays optioned Horwitz to Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

With Brandon Belt (hamstring) returning from the injured list Wednesday, the Blue Jays had no room on the 26-man active roster for Horwitz. During his five-day stint in the big leagues, Horwitz started at designated hitter in three games and went 2-for-8 with two walks and a run.

Jimenez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Rangers.

Jimenez helped the White Sox jump out to an early lead by blasting a two-run homer in the first inning. It was his ninth long ball of the season, and third in seven games since he returned from a calf injury. Jimenez has struggled to stay on the field while dealing with an array of injuries in the first three months of the season, but he is showing off plenty of pop and now has a .204 ISO across 180 plate appearances on the campaign.

Winker went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's 7-5 win against the Diamondbacks.

Winker was 1-for-9 with five strikeouts in three games since he returned from the injured list Saturday, but he finally went deep for the first time since joining the Brewers with his two-run shot during the fourth inning Tuesday. The 29-year-old's .200/.312/.250 slash line still leaves plenty to be desired.

Buxton went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's loss to Boston.

Buxton swatted his 11th homer of the campaign, taking Corey Kluber yard in the eighth inning to plate Edouard Julien for MInnesota's first runs of the game. The multi-hit outing was Buxton's first since May 23 and also broke a 10-game cold snap where he went 1-for-34 (0.29) with 17 strikeouts. Though Buxton has been hampered by a knee and ribs injury throughout 2023, Tuesday's contest may be a signal of better things to come from the talented 29-year-old.

Carpenter is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Giants.

Rougned Odor will man DH for the Padres and bat sixth against the Giants and right-hander Anthony DeSclafani. Nelson Cruz and Gary Sanchez are also sitting. Carpenter, 37, has slashed just .135/.243/.214 over his last 103 plate appearances dating back to May 2.
