Ryan O'Hearn 1B | PIT
Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn: Sitting versus southpaw
O'Hearn is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.
The lefty-swinging O'Hearn doesn't always sit out versus left-handed pitching, but he'll begin Wednesday's contest on the bench as the Mets send southpaw David Peterson to the bump. Coby Mayo will cover first base and bat eighth for the Orioles.

Oswald Peraza 2B | LAA
Yankees' Oswald Peraza: Settling in at third base
Peraza will start at third base and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Mariners.
Peraza will pick up his fourth consecutive start and his third straight at the hot corner, where he looks to be the Yankees' new top option after Jazz Chisholm was moved back to second base earlier this week. Since the Yankees aren't comfortable playing the 36-year-old DJ LeMahieu at the hot corner at this stage of his career, Peraza doesn't face any obvious threats for his starting gig, but it wouldn't be surprising if the team pursued an upgrade at the position prior to the July 31 trade deadline. Peraza has been a well-below-average hitter over his 146 plate appearances in the majors this season, slashing just .157/.226/.261 with three home runs and a 28.8 percent strikeout rate.

Trent Grisham CF | NYY
Yankees' Trent Grisham: On bench for second straight day
Grisham is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.
The left-handed-hitting Grisham will head to the bench for the second day in a row, with both of his absences coming against right-handed starting pitchers. Though he produced three hits in his most recent start Sunday against the Mets and owns an .826 OPS for the season, Grisham may be shifting into more of a fourth-outfielder role while the Yankees make finding playing time for Jasson Dominguez more of a priority. Dominguez will be included in the lineup Wednesday for the seventh time in eight games.

Alex Bregman 3B | CHC
Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Return before break looking likely
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Wednesday that Bregman (quadriceps) has "a really good chance" of being activated from the 10-day injured list before the All-Star break, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Cora previously didn't rule out Bregman from returning this week but noted that it would depend on how the third baseman came out of workouts Monday and Tuesday. Given Cora's optimistic tone Wednesday, it's safe to assume Bregman's workouts went well. On Thursday, the Red Sox begin a four-game set against the Rays to close out the first half, and Bregman will likely be activated at some point during that series. Bregman has been out since late May due to a strained right quad.

Ben Rice DH | NYY
Yankees' Ben Rice: Playing time trending down
Rice is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.
Over his last eight games, Rice has gone just 4-for-27 with a .324 on-base percentage, and his lack of recent production is beginning to cost him some playing time. For the fourth time in five matchups with a right-handed starting pitcher (Logan Evans), the left-handed-hitting Rice will head to the bench while the Yankees go with Paul Goldschmidt at first base and Giancarlo Stanton at designated hitter.

Nick Burdi RP | NYM
Red Sox's Nick Burdi: Transferred to 60-day IL
The Red Sox transferred Burdi (hip) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.
The move frees a spot on the 40-man roster for designated hitter/outfielder Masataka Yoshida (shoulder), who was activated from the 60-day IL. Burdi originally went on the IL with a foot issue in early June, but he had a setback just over a week ago, when he suffered a hip injury. He won't be eligible to return until early August.

Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT
Rays' Brandon Lowe: Missing third straight start
Lowe (side) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
Though Lowe downplayed the left side injury after he was forced out of Sunday's 7-5 win over the Twins, he'll remain on the bench for a third straight contest Wednesday. Taylor Walls will fill in at the keystone for Lowe, whose 20-game hitting streak came to an end Sunday as he struck out in his lone at-bat.

Masataka Yoshida DH | BOS
Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Activated ahead of season debut
The Red Sox activated Yoshida (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday.
Yoshida is finally ready to make his season debut for the Red Sox after a long recovery from offseason surgery on his right shoulder. The 31-year-old will start at designated hitter and will bat sixth in Wednesday's game versus righty Antonio Senzatela and the Rockies. Yoshida might have to get off to a good start if he wants to see regular playing time, as the Red Sox have lots of mouths to feed between the outfield and DH.

Jacob Hurtubise LF | MIL
Mariners' Jacob Hurtubise: Removed from 40-man roster
The Mariners outrighted Hurtubise to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.
While no longer on the 40-man roster, Hurtubise will remain in the Mariners organization as outfield depth at Tacoma. Hurtubise has spent most of the 2025 season at the Triple-A level, where he's slashed an ugly .145/.325/.179 over 44 contests.
