Seymour is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Cleveland, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Guardians right-handed starter Slade Cecconi has slight reverse splits, which helps explain why the left-handed-hitting Seymour will sit against a righty for the first time since he was promoted from Triple-A Durham earlier this month. Yandy Diaz will handle first base in Wednesday's rubber match.

Stanton is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Stanton will receive a breather for the series finale after he starred in Tuesday's 5-1 win, going 2-for-3 with a home run, a double and five RBI. With Stanton on the bench, the Yankees will have a spot in the lineup available for Jasson Dominguez, who covers left field while Cody Bellinger shifts over to Stanton's spot in right.

Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Goldschmidt had started in three of the Yankees' last four games -- twice against left-handers, once against a right-hander -- and went 5-for-13 with a pair of doubles during that stretch to bring his OPS up to .876 for August. Though he's performed well at the dish this month, Goldschmidt's season-long numbers versus right-handed pitching still leave much to be desired, so he may have to settle for a part-time role in those matchups. He'll cede first base to Ben Rice in the series finale while righty Cade Cavalli takes the hill for Washington.

Teel went 3-for-4 with an RBI on Tuesday against the Royals.

Teel has gotten on track at the plate since mid-August, and he's now recorded multiple hits in seven of his last 12 games. In that span, he's hit .419 with two home runs, 10 RBI and eight runs scored. Teel remains the White Sox's primary catcher, though he's also started six games at designated hitter since the start of August, limiting the amount of time he's been out of the lineup.

The Twins activated Woods Richardson (illness) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Woods Richardson will rejoin the Twins and will start Wednesday's game in Toronto after missing much of August while recovering from a procedure to remove a parasite from his digestive tract. The righty went 3.1 innings and threw 64 pitches in his second of two rehab starts with Triple-A St. Paul this past Thursday, so his workload could be relatively limited Wednesday.

The Twins optioned Ohl to Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Ohl is clearing out to make room on the active roster for Simeon Woods Richardson (illness), who was activated from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday's game versus the Blue Jays. The right-handed Ohl has collected a 5.66 ERA and 16:5 K:BB over 20.2 innings covering three starts and four relief appearances for the Twins.

Rodgers (concussion/nose) was removed from his rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land due to lumbar spine inflammation, MLB.com reports.

Rodgers was originally placed on the injured list June 18 due to an oblique strain, but he appeared to have made a full recovery from that injury, only to be pulled off a rehab assignment shortly after the All-Star break when he sustained a concussion and fractured nose during an on-field collision. He made enough progress from the two injuries to resume a rehab assignment with Sugar Land on Friday, only to succumb to yet another injury. Rodgers is without a timeline to return to action in the minors.

Latz has been named the Rangers' starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Angels in Arlington.

With Nathan Eovaldi (shoulder) set to go on the injured list with a likely season-ending rotator cuff strain, Latz will get the first chance to replace him in the rotation. Latz has previously made three starts among his 26 appearances for the Rangers, but he most recently worked out of the bullpen in an outing against the Royals on Aug. 20, when he struck out four over 3.1 scoreless innings. Latz should be able to build on the 43-pitch workload he handled in that contest, but the Rangers may not keep him in Wednesday's game long enough for Latz to qualify for a win.

Alvarez went 0-for-2 with two walks Tuesday against the Rockies.

Alvarez made his long-awaited return from the injured list Tuesday, marking his first time in the lineup since April 28. After primarily serving as the designated hitter before his injury, Alvarez started in left field and hit fourth Tuesday. Alvarez went 7-for-15 on a rehab assignment, so rust may not be a significant issue early in his return.

Sanchez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Rockies.

Sanchez accounted for Houston's only run of the game with his 12th home run of the season. He has hit poorly overall since joining the Astros at the trade deadline, batting .230 with two homers, four RBI and 11 runs scored across 22 games. However, he's now homered in consecutive starts and has gone 8-for-14 in his last four games.
