Manzardo isn't in the Guardians' lineup Wednesday against Colorado.

The lefty-hitting Manzardo will take a seat Wednesday with southpaw Ty Blach on the mound for the Rockies. Jose Ramirez will assume the role of DH while Gabriel Arias gets the nod at third and bats seventh.

Brennan isn't in the Guardians' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

With left-hander Ty Blach set to toe the slab for Colorado, Brennan and his .550 OPS versus LHP will begin the game in the dugout. His absence will allow Johnathan Rodriguez to start in right field while batting sixth.

Naylor isn't in the Guardians' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

The Rockies will send lefty Ty Blach to the mound to begin Wednesday's contest, so the left-handed bat of Naylor will retreat to the bench. Austin Hedges will step in to play catcher while batting eighth.

Benintendi is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Corey Julks will draw the start in left field while Benintendi retreats to the bench for the series finale. Benintendi manned left field in the first two games versus Toronto and recorded three hits over eight at-bats.

Triple-A Durham placed Caminero on its 7-day injured list Wednesday with a quad strain, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Caminero injured his quad late in Tuesday's game against Jacksonville. He spent time on the IL earlier this season with a left quad strain, though it's not clear if it's the same leg bothering him this time around. Caminero has been in a slump lately with Durham, going 3-for-36 with a 32.5 percent strikeout rate over his last 40 plate appearances.

Pham is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

The White Sox will give rest to two of their veteran outfielders in the series finale, with Andrew Benintendi joining Pham on the bench. Dominic Fletcher will fill in as the White Sox's starting center fielder after Pham had been included in the lineup in each of the last 26 games. Pham has been one of Chicago's most productive hitters since signing with the team in April, but he's fallen into a 0-for-12 funk at the plate over his last three starts.

Maldonado will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Korey Lee remains the White Sox's No. 1 backstop, but he'll serve as the designated hitter Wednesday to open up a start behind the plate for Maldonado. The 37-year-old backstop has gone hitless in his last six starts and carries a lowly .083/.135/.131 slash line into Wednesday's contest.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Jansen will get some routine maintenance in the series finale after he started at catcher in each of the Blue Jays' last three games. Alejandro Kirk will spell Jansen behind the dish.

Buxton is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Though Buxton played the entirety of Tuesday's 4-2 win and reached base four times while adding a steal, his knee collided with the left shin of the Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino in the third inning, when Buxton was running down the first-base line. The Twins haven't indicated that Buxton is dealing with anything more than minor wear and tear a day later, but he'll be given some rest Wednesday in any case. Minnesota will go with Willi Castro in center field against Kansas City starting pitcher Seth Lugo.

DeLuca is out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Athletics, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

DeLuca had started against right-handed pitchers in each of the last four games, but he went just 1-for-14 with one walk against five strikeouts during that stretch. He'll now take a seat Wednesday against Athletics righty Joey Estes and could see most of his opportunities versus left-handed pitching moving forward while Randy Arozarena, Jose Siri and Richie Palacios form the Rays' preferred outfield trio versus righties.
