The Astros designated Scott for assignment Wednesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Scott has struggled in 2025 to replicate his success from last season, posting a 5.40 ERA and 16:12 K:BB over 16.2 frames. He had a 2.23 ERA and 71:35 K:BB across 68.2 innings in 2024, so Scott could draw interest via trade or waivers.

Lewis is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Orioles.

Lewis is just over a week removed from returning from a long stint on the injured list due to a hamstring strain, so the Twins are seemingly just giving him some rest in the second half of the twin bill. He started at third base in the Twins' 6-3 win in Game 1, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts.

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.
