Wells is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Wells will hit the bench after he started behind the dish in three of the Yankees' last four games. Jose Trevino will get the nod at catcher Wednesday, forming a battery with starting pitcher Marcus Stroman.

The Angels recalled Rosenberg from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.

Rosenberg has spent all season in the minors, where he's posted a 3.74 ERA and 1.23 WHIP across 77 innings over 14 starts. Although he's served exclusively as a starter during his time in Salt Lake this year, he'll likely be moved to the bullpen upon joining the Angels. Davis Daniel was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move

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

After coming off the 10-day injured list Monday, Baez started at shortstop in both of the first two contests of the series, going 1-for-6 with a double between the two contests. Though he's expected to see the bulk of the starts at shortstop now that he's healthy again, Baez will give way Wednesday to utility man Zach McKinstry.

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

Even though he had gotten on base in each of his last four starts, Canha is still slashing a dismal .098/.203/.118 dating back to June 19. The extended slump at the plate looks like it will cost Canha some playing time, as he'll hit the bench against a right-handed pitcher for the second day in a row.

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

Though Kelly has an active five-game hitting streak, the playing time behind the plate has tilted in favor of Jake Rogers lately. Rogers will make his third start in four games while Kelly sits.

Garcia is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Cardinals.

Garcia started at second base in the Royals' 6-4 win in the early game, going 1-for-4 with a run scored. He'll receive a breather for the nightcap while Michael Massey covers the keystone.

Ober (8-5) took the loss in the opening game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the White Sox, allowing three runs on four hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out six.

Ober held the White Sox to one run through his first five innings before Luis Robert launched a two-run homer in the sixth, putting Minnesota in a 3-0 hole in an eventual 3-1 loss. Still, Ober was able to deliver his fifth straight quality start -- he's posted a 2.17 ERA over 33.1 innings in that span. The 28-year-old Ober now sports a 4.14 ERA through 18 starts (100 innings) this year with an impressive 1.08 WHIP and 106:24 K:BB.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that Stanton (hamstring) could skip a rehab assignment and return from the 10-day injured list shortly after the All-Star break, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Stanton did some running Tuesday and has been reincorporating baseball activities into his training regimen of late as he works his way back from a strained left hamstring. He'll need to do some more ramping up before the Yankees are confident that he's ready for game action, but bypassing a rehab assignment would shorten the length of his absence a bit.

Fedde (7-3) earned the win in the opening game of Wednesday's doubleheader against Minnesota, allowing four hits and two walks over five scoreless innings. He struck out five.

After escaping a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the first inning, Fedde proceeded to blank the Twins over his subsequent four innings, picking up his team-leading seventh win. Fedde's been one of the few bright spots this year on a last-place White Sox team -- he's now held opponents to two runs or fewer in five of his last six starts. Overall, Fedde's ERA is down to 2.99 with a 1.13 WHIP and 99:30 K:BB across 19 starts (111.1 innings) as he continues to build value ahead of the trade deadline.

Larnach is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the White Sox.

The Twins are facing a righty (Drew Thorpe) for the second leg of the twin bill, but the lefty-hitting Larnach will head to the bench while manager Rocco Baldelli makes space in the starting nine for the hot-hitting Matt Wallner. Larnach went 0-for-3 with a walk in the Twins' 3-1 loss in Game 1, and he had started in each of the six games in July before that.
