Kim (back) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Kim will miss a second consecutive start Wednesday after injuring his back during Monday's game. A day off for the Rays on Thursday will give the 29-year-old even more time to recover, and he'll aim to return for the start of the weekend series in Cincinnati on Friday. In the meantime, Taylor Walls will pick up another start at shortstop.

Correa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

The Twins are closing out their series in Los Angeles with a day game after a night game, so Correa will get a veteran off day after he started each of Minnesota's first five contests coming out of the All-Star break. Brooks Lee will cover shortstop in Correa's stead.

Witt said that the knee injury he appeared to sustain during a plate appearance in Tuesday's 6-0 loss to the Cubs isn't a concern, and his absence from the lineup for Wednesday's series finale is more of a rest day, Pete Grathoff of The Kansas City Star reports.

Witt added that he could have played Wednesday if needed, but because of the quick turnaround for the matinee contest in addition to a team off day Thursday, the Royals will err on the side of caution and hold him out of the lineup. Maikel Garcia will slide over from his usual spot at third base to cover shortstop in place of Witt, who is on the bench for the first time all season. Witt is expected to rejoin the Royals' starting nine Friday against the Guardians.

Witt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs after Royals manager Matt Quatraro said that the shortstop experienced some discomfort in his knee during Tuesday's 6-0 loss, Pete Grathoff of The Kansas City Star reports.

Days off are exceedingly rare for the historically durable Witt, who will exit the starting nine for the first time all season and just the second time dating back to the start of the 2024 campaign. Witt's leg appeared to buckle on him during a plate appearance Tuesday, but he was able to finish out the game, and Quatraro downplayed any concern about the 25-year-old's health when he spoke to the media afterward. The Royals may simply be choosing to hold Witt out of the lineup out of an abundance of caution, as Wednesday's contest is a day game after a night game. Thursday is also an off day for the Royals, so the team is likely hoping that after two days of rest, Witt will be ready to start in Friday's series opener versus the Guardians.

Winn revealed after Tuesday's loss to the Rockies that he received an injection for a nagging knee injury prior to the All-Star break, Fanduel Sports Network Midwest reports.

Winn said of the injection that "I don't really think it did anything" and that his knee is "jacked up right now." However, Winn is receiving daily treatment and plans to continue playing through the issue. It's not clear when exactly Winn's knee began bothering him, but he's 10-for-21 in the first five games of the second half, so it doesn't seem to be greatly hindering him at the plate.

Montgomery went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Rays.

Montgomery's lone hit of the night was a solo home run in the seventh to bring the White Sox within one run. It was the rookie's first career long ball, and he's now hit safely in four of five games coming out of the All-Star break while tallying an RBI in each of those contests. Tuesday also marked the first time in seven games that Montgomery did not strike out. He had punched out 10 times over his past six games coming into Tuesday.

Smith started at designated hitter and went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Athletics.

Smith continues to fill in everywhere for the Rangers. He most recently had a regular gig at third base, but that closed when Josh Jung was called up from Triple-A Round Rock. Besides DH, Smith can get consistent playing time at first base while Jake Burger (quadriceps) is on the 10-day injured list.

Seager went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer and a double in Tuesday's win over the Athletics.

Seager broke the game open in the seventh with a three-run homer off Hogan Harris to put the Rangers up 6-1. Seager now has a 23-game on-base streak during which he's slashing .349/.462/.686 with seven homers, 21 RBI, 20 runs and a 16:21 BB:K. He's been a top-10 hitter in all of baseball in average, on-base, slugging and OPS over that span.

Correa went 2-for-3 with a double, two walks and four runs scored in Tuesday's 10-7 win over the Dodgers.

Correa is 5-for-16 with seven walks over five games since the All-Star break. The shortstop was effective from the cleanup spot Tuesday, which was especially valuable since the Twins' top third of the order combined to go 2-for-15. Correa is at a .266/.319/.392 slash line on the year while adding seven home runs, 31 RBI, 40 runs scored, 19 doubles and no stolen bases across 88 contests.

Perdomo went 3-for-4 in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Astros.

Perdomo is 9-for-20 (.450) over five games since the All-Star break, though just one of those knocks, a triple, has gone for extra bases. The shortstop has hit in the bottom third of the order in the first two games of this series versus Houston, though that is due to a pair of left-handed pitchers starting. That trend is likely to continue Wednesday when Brandon Walter is on the mound for the visiting Astros. Perdomo has been a steady bat in the lineup all year with a .275/.375/.420 slash line, 10 home runs, 72 RBI, 55 runs scored and 15 stolen bases across 101 games.
