Correa is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Orioles.

Correa will receive some routine maintenance after he played nine innings at shortstop and went 2-for-4 with a run scored in the Twins' 6-3 victory in the first game of the day. Brooks Lee will get the nod at shortstop for Game 2.

O'Neill is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Twins.

O'Neill returned from the injured list over the weekend following a two-week stay on the shelf due to neck inflammation, so the Orioles likely aren't keen on having him play two full nine-inning games on the same day just yet. He'll get a breather for the second contest of the day after he went 0-for-3 with a walk and contributed his first two stolen bases of the season in the Orioles' 6-3 loss in Game 1.

Urias is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Twins.

After being activated from the injured list earlier in the day, Urias started at third base and went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in the Orioles' 6-3 loss in Game 1. Urias should see the bulk of the starts at third base for Baltimore until Jordan Westburg (hamstring) returns from the injured list. Emmanuel Rivera will spell Urias at the hot corner for the second half of Wednesday's twin bill.

Rutschman is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Twins.

Rutschman will receive a breather for the second game of the day after he went 0-for-3 with a walk while catching all nine innings of the Orioles' 6-3 loss in Game 1. Maverick Handley will replace him behind the dish in Game 2.

The Tigers optioned Jung to Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Jung went just 5-for-45 at the plate since being promoted in late April, and his playing time of late has been inconsistent. Zach McKinstry and Andy Ibanez should handle third base duties for the Tigers, at least until Matt Vierling (shoulder) is ready to return from the injured list.

Abreu is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Abreu had started every game dating back to April 29, but he'll head to the bench while the Tigers send reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal to the hill. Rob Refsnyder will draw the start in right field in place of the lefty-hitting Abreu, who is batting .190 against same-handed pitching this season.

Sogard will start at first base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Sogard will draw his fourth start in five games and looks to have settled in as Boston's preferred option at first base in the wake of Triston Casas (knee) being lost for the season and Romy Gonzalez (back) recently going on the IL. Unless the Red Sox look for help outside the organization or if Rafael Devers reverses his stance and agrees to take some reps at first base, Sogard could be in store for a regular role so long as he performs well enough at the plate to warrant the playing time.

Narvaez will start at catcher and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

He'll get the nod behind the plate for the fourth time in five games and seems to have taken over as the Red Sox's preferred backstop ahead of Connor Wong, who is batting just .146 on the season. Narvaez has performed well at the dish, especially by catcher's standards, throughout the campaign, slashing .260/.313/.433 with four home runs and 14 RBI across 112 plate appearances.

Wong is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

The 28-year-old will hit the bench for the fourth time in five games and looks to have at least temporarily fallen behind Carlos Narvaez on the depth chart at catcher. Wong produced a respectable .758 OPS over 487 plate appearances with Boston in 2024 but has struggled to find a rhythm at the plate since rejoining the big club May 2 following a stint on the injured list due to a broken finger. He's gone just 4-for-18 with one walk against six strikeouts since being activated and is slashing .146/.239/.146 overall on the season.

The Orioles recalled McDermott from Triple-A Norfolk, and he'll start the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Twins.

McDermott will be making his second major-league start and his first of 2025. The right-hander missed the first month of the season with a right lat strain and has thrown only 9.2 innings in the minors, with his last appearance at Norfolk lasting four innings and 65 pitches. He will have a relatively limited workload versus the Twins and is expected to be returned to Triple-A immediately after the outing.
