Trivino (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset on Wednesday.

Trivino is finally ready for game action after undergoing Tommy John surgery in May 2023. His rehab assignment will likely be a lengthy one, but the reliever could provide aid in a middle-inning role out of the Yankees bullpen down the stretch.

The Yankees recalled Warren from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.

Warren will make a spot start Wednesday in Chicago against the White Sox. He has coughed up 12 runs over 9.2 innings in his previous two starts with the Yankees this season, though he notched 12 strikeouts. Warren is expected to be sent back down to Triple-A after the game.

The Yankees recalled Peraza from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.

Peraza will join the 26-man active roster as a replacement for Jazz Chisholm (elbow), who was placed on the injured list. The 24-year-old Peraza has slashed .244/.351/.382 with eight home runs and 17 steals across 65 contests with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season. He may see some starts at third base while Chisholm is out, but Peraza could struggle to see consistent playing time.

Rocchio will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Rocchio has now started in three consecutive matchups with a right-handed pitcher and seems to have supplanted Daniel Schneemann -- who has hit the bench in two of those contests -- as the Guardians' preferred option at shortstop. While his .726 OPS since the beginning of August is a stark improvement over his season-long mark of .608, Rocchio's grip on an everyday role would still seem to be tenuous.

The Yankees placed Chisholm on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left elbow sprain.

He was injured during Monday's game against the White Sox on a slide into home plate. A decision on whether Chisholm will be able to rest and rehab the injury or require season-ending surgery has yet to be made, but even in a best-case scenario, he's going to miss multiple weeks of action. In the meantime, Oswaldo Cabrera is likely to see the bulk of the starts at third base for the Yankees, with DJ LeMahieu and Oswald Peraza also in the mix for playing time at the position.

Schneemann is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

The lefty-hitting Schneemann is on the bench for the third straight game, including the second in a row against a right-handed pitcher (Jameson Taillon). The rookie had mostly held down a strong-side platoon role since getting his first big-league call-up June 2, but after producing a modest .660 OPS thus far in August, he looks to have ceded the primary role at shortstop to Brayan Rocchio.

Fry is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Fry had started each of the last five games, going 3-for-17 with a home run. While he's in the midst of a lull at the plate to begin August, Fry will hit the bench Wednesday to make room for a hotter bat in Jhonkensy Noel, who will draw a third consecutive start after slugging three home runs between the first two contests versus the Cubs.

Naylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

The lefty-hitting Naylor typically starts against right-handed pitchers like the Cubs' Jameson Taillon, but Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt will hold out his top backstop for the series finale. Naylor's absence from the lineup may be explained in part by his recent rough patch at the plate; he's slashing just .194/.194/.484 in 11 games since the beginning of August. In spite of his struggles, Naylor's spot atop the depth chart still looks to be fairly secure.

Bautista (elbow) threw a bullpen session Wednesday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Bautista threw off the mound for the first time since he had Tommy John surgery last October. He has already been ruled out for a return in 2024, but Bautista should be in store for a relatively normal offseason and enter spring training with little-to-no restrictions.

O'Neill (lower leg) rejoined the Red Sox at Fenway Park on Wednesday but is not expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list before the end of this week, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

O'Neill is eligible for activation Wednesday, but he resumed baseball activities Tuesday after recovering from a lower leg infection and will need more time to build back up. He will travel with the team on its road trip which begins Thursday and could be activated next week in Houston if all goes well.
