Rocchio is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Rocchio had manned shortstop for each of the previous five games, but he'll get a break in the series finale. Daniel Schneemann will hold down shortstop for the Guardians.

Naylor is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the White Sox.

After catching both of the first two games of the series, Naylor will take a seat for Wednesday's matinee. Austin Hedges will start behind the dish as the Guardians try to complete the sweep.

Clement went 2-for-4 with a triple and three runs scored in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Mets.

The 28-year-old infielder's hot bat has kept him in the lineup in September. Clement has five multi-hit performances in eight games to begin the month, batting .324 (11-for-34) with a double, a triple, a homer, a steal, two RBI and eight runs. He could get squeezed for playing time once Bo Bichette (calf) comes off the IL, but for now Clement will continue bouncing between shortstop and third base while getting regular at-bats.

Harris (4-3) got the extra-innings win against the Astros on Tuesday, allowing an unearned run on one hit over two innings. He struck out three.

Harris breezed through his first frame in the 11th while preserving a 2-2 tie, striking out two of the three batters he faced. He returned for the 12th after the Athletics had rallied for two runs in the top half of the frame, and although he allowed a double to Jose Altuve, Harris subsequently bore down and retired the dangerous trio of Yordan Alvarez, Kyle Tucker and Alex Bregman to end the game. Harris has been effective out of the bullpen since his return to the big-league club in late August, mustering a 2-0 record, 0.93 ERA and 0.93 WHIP across 9.2 innings over five appearances.

Bassitt (10-12) picked up the win in Tuesday's 6-2 victory over the Mets, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out eight.

The veteran right-hander gave up three singles in the first inning to bring home a run, but Bassitt was dominant after that, leaving the mound after 101 pitches (63 strikes) with his 12th quality start of the year. It's his first win since Aug. 6, and in 10 starts since the All-Star break he's gone 2-6 with a 5.50 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 64:15 K:BB through 55.2 innings. Bassitt will look to string together consecutive victories for the first time since early June in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week against the Rangers.

Raley went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's loss to the Padres.

Raley took Yu Darvish deep in the second inning for his only hit of the evening. The 29-year-old has seven hits over his last five games, with six of those hits going for extra bases. The home run was his 19th, tying his career-high set last year. Raley is slashing .240/.316/.457 with 19 homers, a career-high 50 RBI, 52 runs, nine steals and a 25:121 BB:K in 403 plate appearances.

Lopez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

With lefty Matthew Boyd on the bump for the Guardians, the lefty-hitting Lopez will give way to Jacob Amaya at shortstop. Lopez had started in five of the White Sox's six matchups with right-handed pitchers in September, so he should maintain a strong-side platoon role in the middle infield, at least until Brooks Baldwin (wrist) comes off the injured list.

Morel went 2-for-5 with a double, a triple and an RBI on Tuesday against the Phillies.

Morel got off to a slow start with the Rays but has managed at least one hit in 13 of his last 20 games. He's still lacked power in that span (.368 slugging percentage), so Tuesday's effort was an encouraging sign.

Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Padres.

Raleigh got the Mariners on the board early with a first-inning solo home run off Yu Darvish to bring him up to 30 home runs for a second consecutive season. The 27-year-old is batting .333/.378/.667 with three homers, 11 RBI and seven runs over his last eight games and leads the Mariners by a wide margin in home runs and RBI. For the year, he's slashing .213/.304/.431 with 45 extra-base hits, 91 RBI, 64 runs, six steals and a 60:161 BB:K in 553 plate appearances.

Stroman (10-8) took the loss Tuesday, giving up three runs on seven hits and two walks over 5.1 innings as the Yankees fell 5-0 to the Royals. He struck out four.

The right-hander didn't pitch poorly, tossing 56 of 89 pitches for strikes, but Seth Lugo was dominant Tuesday and the Yankees managed only three singles in support of Stroman. He's completed six innings only twice in nine outings since the All-Star break, stumbling to a 5.40 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 31:13 K:BB through 43.1 innings over that stretch. Stroman will look for a better result in his next start, which lines up to come on the road early next week in Seattle.
