Major League Baseball issued a three-game suspension to Uceta on Wednesday after he was ejected from Tuesday's game against the Phillies in the eighth inning when he hit Nick Castellanos with a pitch, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Rays manager Kevin Cash was also handed a one-game suspension. Uceta was charged with three runs while retiring just one batter before getting tossed from the contest after umpires determined he intentionally hit Castellanos with a pitch. Uceta is one of four different Rays relievers to pick up at least one save since Pete Fairbanks (lat) went on the injured list last month.

Wells is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Royals.

Wells had made five straight starts, but he'll begin Wednesday's series finale on the bench. Jose Trevino will handle catching duties and bat ninth for New York.

Dominguez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Royals.

Wednesday's starter for the Royals, Cole Ragans, has been more effective against righties than lefties this season, and the switch-hitting Dominguez is better from the right side, so the youngster will begin the series finale on the bench. Alex Verdugo will replace Dominguez in the lineup as the Yankees' starting left fielder.

O'Hoppe is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Minnesota.

It's a routine day off for O'Hoppe, who started each of the first two games of the series. Matt Thaiss will do the catching for Wednesday's finale.

The Mariners outrighted Vosler to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

He's no longer on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Vosler has batted only .179/.233/.286 over 10 games in the majors this season.

Foscue is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Foscue had an opportunity to pick up regular at-bats after Corey Seager (hip) was placed on the injured list last week, but the Rangers have seemingly pulled the plug on the rookie. He'll hit the bench for the third game in a row while Ezequiel Duran has emerged as the preferred option for the lineup spot vacated by Seager.

Heim is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Heim will take a seat for Wednesday's matinee after he logged eight innings behind the plate in the Rangers' 6-0 loss Tuesday night. Carson Kelly will start at catcher in the series finale in Arizona.

White Sox interim manager Grady Sizemore said Wednesday that Burke is "in line" to get a start the next time the club has an opening in the rotation, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Burke pitched well out of the bullpen in his major-league debut Tuesday versus the Guardians, yielding one unearned run with three strikeouts over three innings. The 24-year-old has made 16 starts this season with Triple-A Charlotte, collecting a 4.62 ERA and 86:36 K:BB across 64.1 innings. Burke looks to be on track to start either Sunday at home against the Athletics or Monday on the road versus the Angels.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Wednesday that Jimenez is tending to a left foot injury, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports. "He's pretty sore pushing off of [the foot]," Schneider said. So we want to be careful with it."

Even though he typically starts against left-handed pitchers like the Mets' Sean Manaea, Jimenez will take a seat for Wednesday's series finale after he was hit in the foot in Tuesday's 6-2 win. Jimenez has now been struck by pitches in four consecutive games and five times in seven September contests, so the infielder should benefit from a day off. The lefty-hitting Will Wagner will pick up a rare start against a lefty Wednesday in Jimenez's stead.

Leasure (shoulder) made his second rehab appearance for Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, striking out one and issuing one walk and giving up no hits over a scoreless inning.

Leasure began his rehab assignment last Friday and turned in a 1-2-3 inning for Charlotte that day before following up Tuesday with another strong appearance. On the shelf since July 20 with a right shoulder impingement, Leasure looks like he could be ready to return from the 15-day injured list this weekend and rejoin the bullpen. He'll be a candidate to fill a high-leverage role and could even factor into the closer picture, but save opportunities will likely be few and far between for the 33-113 White Sox down the stretch.
