Lee is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

After catching eight innings of the White Sox's 5-0 loss Tuesday night, Lee will get a breather while the club wraps up its series in Anaheim with a day game. Chuckie Robinson will get the nod behind the dish Wednesday.

Ramos is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

Ramos is on the bench for a second straight matchup with a right-handed pitcher (Jack Kochanowicz) and may have lost hold of the primary gig at third base. Yoan Moncada (adductor) hasn't been a factor at the hot corner since being activated from the 60-day injured list Monday, but Miguel Vargas will occupy the position for the third day in a row.

Amaya is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

After making 14 starts at shortstop in a 16-game stretch from Aug. 30 through Monday, Amaya now finds himself on the bench for the second day in a row. He's sat in each of the White Sox's last three matchups with right-handed pitchers, as Amaya looks to have moved into the short side of a platoon at shortstop with the lefty-hitting Nicky Lopez. Since joining the White Sox on Aug. 27 after being claimed off waivers from the Astros, Amaya is slashing .244/.311/.268.

Erceg (2-6) allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and a walk while striking out two over 1.2 innings, taking the extra-inning loss versus the Tigers on Tuesday.

Erceg's six-inning scoreless streak came to an end as he faltered in the 10th inning after he kept the game tied in the ninth. He also ended August in rough form, but he's generally brought some stability to the Royals' bullpen since they acquired him from the Athletics. For the year, Erceg is at a 3.53 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 68:16 K:BB while earning 11 saves, 18 holds and five blown saves over 58.2 innings.

Schuemann is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Cubs.

Schuemann manned third base for the Athletics in each of the previous five games, but he will begin Wednesday's contest on the bench. Nick Allen will handle the hot corner and bat ninth.

Brown is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

The Cubs are starting a third straight lefty in the series in Justin Steele, and the left-handed-hitting Brown has been out of the lineup for all three contests, although he did receive a couple plate appearances off the bench Tuesday. Tyler Nevin is in left field for Wednesday's series finale.

Bleday is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Cubs.

The Cubs are sending lefty Justin Steele to the hill, so the left-handed-hitting Bleday will begin the game on the bench. Daz Cameron will get a start in center field for the Athletics.

Shuster is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Angels, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Shuster will take the hill first for the White Sox in what's likely to be a bullpen day featuring a parade of relievers once the left-hander exits the contest. Considering that he's worked two-plus innings in seven of his last 11 appearances, Shuster should be able to offer more length than the typical opening pitcher, but he's still unlikely to work deep enough into the contest to qualify for a win.

Lowe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Lowe snapped a 17-game stretch without a long ball, during which he hit only .237 with one RBI and four runs scored. That continued a down season from a power perspective for Lowe, as his slugging percentage and ISO have dropped 99 and 48 points, respectively, from 2023. Positively, he has been active and successful on the basepaths, tallying 24 stolen bases on 25 attempts.

Langeliers went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Cubs.

Both blasts came off Jordan Wicks, as Langeliers launched a two-run homer in the first inning and a solo shot in the fifth. The 26-year-old has only three hits in his last 20 at-bats, but all three have left the yard. On the season, Langeliers is slashing .220/.280/.448 with 28 homers, 74 RBI, 54 runs and four stolen bases.
