Giancarlo Stanton DH | NYY
Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Out with calf strain
Stanton was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right calf strain.
Stanton underwent an MRI on Wednesday morning after suffering the injury during Tuesday's contest against the Orioles, and he'll now be sidelined for at least the next 10 days. The severity of the strain is not yet clear, and there's no official timeline for the 32-year-old's return. Joey Gallo (illness) was activated from the COVID-19 injured list in a corresponding move.

Brad Miller DH | SD
Rangers' Brad Miller: On bench against southpaw
Miller isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Angels.
Miller has started against just one left-handed pitcher this season, and he'll take a seat with southpaw Reid Detmers on the mound for the Angels on Wednesday. Eli White is starting in left field and batting ninth.

Franmil Reyes DH | WAS
Guardians' Franmil Reyes: On bench Wednesday
Reyes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.
After kicking off May by producing a 1.256 OPS through the Guardians' first six games of the month, Reyes has taken a big step back offensively. In his subsequent 11 contests, Reyes has gone 4-for-36 with one extra-base hit (a double) and 14 strikeouts. Josh Naylor will handle designated-hitter duties Wednesday while Reyes gets a day off to clear his head.

Jesse Winker DH | NYM
Mariners' Jesse Winker: Scores twice in loss
Winker went 2-for-5 with two runs in a loss to the Athletics on Tuesday.
The Mariners' first loss to the Athletics in 14 games was a mixed bag for Winker, who was productive out of the leadoff spot but also committed a fielding error that allowed the go-ahead run to score in the seventh inning. Winker's current .219/.310/.300 slash line is still falling well below expectations based on his previous body of work, but he's shown a bit more life at the plate recently by reaching safely in 10 of his last 11 games.

Kyle Lewis DH | ARI
Mariners' Kyle Lewis: Two hits in '22 debut
Lewis (knee) went 2-for-4 in a loss to the Athletics on Tuesday, a game that marked his 2022 debut.
Lewis finally logged major-league game action after completing his recovery from June 2021 knee surgery. The talented outfielder wasted no time breaking the ice at the plate after a productive rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma, and he should be a near-everyday fixture in the Mariners lineup moving forward barring any setbacks.

Mark Canha LF | TEX
Mets' Mark Canha: Sits for afternoon game
Canha is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.
Canha turned in a pair of two-hit games in the first two contests of the series, but he'll get a breather for the series finale. With Canha on the bench, the Mets will roll out an outfield of Jeff McNeil, Brandon Nimmo and Starling Marte from left to right.

Mike Ford DH | MIN
Mariners' Mike Ford: Losing work with Kyle Lewis healthy
Ford is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
With Kyle Lewis (knee) making his return from the 10-day injured list Tuesday and serving as Seattle's designated hitter, Ford's time as a regular in the Mariners lineup looks to be over. He'll be on the bench Wednesday for the third game in a row.
-
Luis Torrens C | NYM
Mariners' Luis Torrens: Losing work to Raleigh
Torrens will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
Though he'll be included in the lineup for the series finale, Torrens seems to have slipped behind Cal Raleigh on the depth chart at catcher. Torrens will be starting Wednesday for only the fourth time in nine games, with one of those starts coming as a designated hitter.
-
Darin Ruf DH | MIL
Giants' Darin Ruf: Scores three times
Ruf went 2-for-5 with a walk, three runs and an RBI in Tuesday's 13-12 win over the Mets.
He came around to score his third and final run of the night on Brandon Crawford's game-winning two-out single to left field in the bottom of the ninth inning. Ruf was making his seventh consecutive start Tuesday, and he should have a fairly clear path to an everyday role while LaMonte Wade (knee) and Brandon Belt (knee) are on the injured list.

Miguel Cabrera DH | DET
Tigers' Miguel Cabrera: Takes seat Wednesday
Cabrera isn't starting Wednesday's series finale against the Twins.
Cabrera will get a breather Wednesday after starting four straight games, going 5-for-16 with a double and two RBI in those contests. Javier Baez will take over at designated hitter while Harold Castro enters the lineup at shortstop and bats second as the Tigers try to avoid the sweep.
