Carpenter is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

Carpenter and fellow left-handed hitter Colt Keith will remain on the bench for the second straight day while the Athletics send another left-handed starter (Jeffrey Springs) to the mound for the series finale. With Carpenter and Keith sitting, the Tigers will use Jahmai Jones at designated hitter, Spencer Torkelson at first base and Zach McKinstry at third base.

Polanco is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Minnesota.

Polanco made just one start during the Mariners' three-game set against the Twins. The 31-year-old has posted a .494 OPS since the beginning of May and could be at risk of losing out on a regular spot in the lineup. Cal Raleigh will get a start at designated hitter Thursday, while Mitch Garver handles catching duties.

Dingler is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

Story went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Angels.

Story got the Red Sox rolling with a two-out, two-run single in the first inning, but the offense went flat the rest of the game. For Story, it was his fourth multi-RBI game in June and fifth over the last 24 contests, during which he's driven in 20 runs. He's second on the team with 41 RBI, second only to the departed Rafael Devers (58).

Campbell started at first base and went 0-for-4 for Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday.

Campbell struck out four times but handled the defensive chores without an issue. It was his third game with the WooSox since the Red Sox sent him down. He served as the designated hitter in the first two contests. Worcester manager Chad Tracy told Christopher Smith of MassLive.com that Campbell will play first base "a few games a week." In addition to first base, Campbell will play second base and center field.

Gray (wrist) threw a bullpen session Wednesday prior to the Rangers' game against the Orioles at Camden Yards, MLB.com reports.

Gray threw his second bullpen session within the last week and third overall. He'll get one or two more before the Rangers engage in discussions about the right-hander's next steps.

Osuna started in left field and went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Orioles.

All of Osuna's offensive activity came in the fifth inning, when he walked, stole a base and scored on a Corey Seager single. The theft was his first in 17 games since having his contract selected at the end of May. Osuna got the start after Wyatt Langford reported tightness in his left side. Evan Carter replaced Langford defensively in center field, while Osuna slotted in for him in the order.

Semien went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 7-0 win over Baltimore.

Semien doubled and scored the Rangers' first run in the second inning and singled home a run in the fifth. He continued a remarkable turnaround at the plate; Semien sports a .352/.410/.602 line with four home runs, eight doubles, one triple, 15 RBI and 18 runs scored over the last 24 games. He spent 59 games with an average below .200 and is now up to .229, its highest point since Opening Day, when he went 2-for-4.

Mize (leg) is listed as the Tigers' starting pitcher for Saturday's game against the Twins, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Mize was removed from his most recent start Sunday against the Rays due to cramping in his right leg, but he has recovered fine and is ready to roll for his next turn in the rotation. The right-hander has yielded two earned runs or fewer in each of his last four starts, although he's reached the six-inning mark on just one occasion during that stretch.
