White Sox's Luis Robert: Makes early exit Wednesday
Robert was removed for a pinch hitter in the first inning of Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Brooke Fletcher of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Robert played defense in the top of the first inning but was removed before taking his first at-bat in the bottom of the frame. It's not clear if Robert is dealing with an injury, an illness or something else, but the outfielder has also been the subject of trade rumors of late. The White Sox should have more information on his status shortly.

Alex Bregman 3B | CHC
Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Likely out through All-Star break
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Wednesday that it "looks like" Bregman (quadriceps) won't return until after the All-Star break, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Bregman has already missed a month with a right quad strain. While he has progressed in a running program, he has not yet resumed baseball activities. Bregman and the Red Sox have expressed hope that he could skip a rehab assignment, but given that his absence is now expected to extend to the second half, some rehab games seem likely.

Red Sox's Kutter Crawford: Needs season-ending wrist surgery
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Wednesday that Crawford will undergo right wrist surgery that will "most likely" keep the pitcher out for the remainder of the season, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Crawford began the season on the injured list with a right knee injury that first cropped up over the winter. However, it's Crawford's wrist that's been the bigger issue over the last few weeks, and the decision has been made to have surgery. The specific nature of the operation isn't clear, but the team should have more details on Crawford's status after surgery.

LaMonte Wade Jr. LF | HOU
Angels' LaMonte Wade: Claims strong-side platoon role
Wade will start in right field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
After signing with the Angels and getting added to the 26-man active roster June 10, Wade played sparingly over his first week and a half with the team, but he's since moved into a strong-side platoon role in the corner outfield after Jorge Soler (back) landed on the shelf. Wade -- who has gone 4-for-23 with one stolen base, three runs and a 1:10 BB:K since joining the Halos -- will pick up his fifth start in six games Wednesday.

Orioles' Yaramil Hiraldo: Sent back to Triple-A
The Orioles optioned Hiraldo to Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.
Hiraldo didn't make any appearances out of the bullpen in his latest stint with the Orioles, which lasted just three days. His removal from the 26-man active roster frees up a spot for right-hander Brandon Young, who was recalled from Norfolk to start Wednesday's contest versus the Rangers.

Brandon Young SP | BAL
Orioles' Brandon Young: Recalled to start Wednesday
The Orioles recalled Young from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.
Young will start Wednesday's game against the Rangers. The right-hander won't be fully stretched out, as he just recently returned from a shoulder issue at Norfolk and threw 65 pitches in his last outing. Young is likely in line for just one start with the Orioles, so he will likely be optioned to Norfolk within the next couple of days.

Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Taking seat Wednesday
O'Hoppe is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Red Sox, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
O'Hoppe went 1-for-4 while playing 10 innings behind the plate in Tuesday night's 3-2 win and will now get a breather for Wednesday's matinee. Travis d'Arnaud will start behind the dish and bat sixth for the Angels.

Zachary Neto SS | LAA
Angels' Zach Neto: Out of lineup, will undergo MRI
Neto (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Red Sox, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Neto jammed his right shoulder on a stolen base attempt in the eighth inning of Tuesday's 3-2 extra-inning win and was removed from the contest in the ninth after making a wild throw. His injury is to the same shoulder that he had surgically repaired last November, and he is scheduled to undergo an MRI, per Sam Blum of The Athletic. The Angels could have more information on Neto's status after Wednesday's contest. Scott Kingery will fill in at shortstop and bat ninth.
