Aranda is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Athletics, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Aranda started nine of the first 10 games upon his return from the injured list but has now been out of the lineup for two of the last three contests. Harold Ramirez will occupy the designated hitter slot Wednesday while Aranda begins the game on the bench.

Caballero is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Athletics, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Caballero will get a day off after striking out 23 times over his last 53 plate appearances. Amed Rosario will get the start at shortstop Wednesday while Caballero receives some rest.

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

Davis will hit the bench after he went 1-for-6 at the dish while starting in both of the past two games. Tyler Soderstrom will step in for Davis at first base.

Westburg is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox due to a sore right hand, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Westburg was hit in the hand by a pitch in Tuesday's 8-3 loss. Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said that X-rays on Westburg's hand came back negative, but the 25-year-old infielder will benefit from two full days of rest with Baltimore off Thursday. Ramon Urias will handle third base Wednesday in Westburg's stead.

Rutschman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

Rutschman often starts at designated hitter on days he doesn't catch, but he'll be given a true day off Wednesday, barring a pinch-hitting appearance. It's just the fourth day off this season for the 26-year-old. James McCann will pick up the start at catcher.

Rogers is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Pirates, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Rogers will take a seat for the second game of the day after he was behind the plate for all nine innings of the Tigers' 8-0 win earlier in the day. He went 2-for-3 with a walk, a run and an RBI and has now reached base at least once in each of his last five starts. Carson Kelly will draw the start for the second game of the day, but Rogers has performed well enough of late to at the very least keep himself in a timeshare at catcher.

Urshela is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Pirates, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Urshela went 1-for-4 with an RBI single in the Tigers' 8-0 win in Game 1 but will get a breather for the second game of the day. Matt Vierling will replace Urshela at third base.

Baez is absent from the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Pirates, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Baez went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in the Tigers' 8-0 win earlier in the day but will begin the second half of the twin bill on the bench. Zach McKinstry will occupy shortstop for the Tigers.

Cooper is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Baltimore, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Tyler O'Neill (knee) is out for a fourth straight game, but Rob Refsynder has been the preferred option at designated hitter of late, even against right-handed pitchers. Cooper has now started just two of the last nine games for the Red Sox, though he missed some time during that stretch due to right shoulder discomfort.

The Tigers recalled Montero from Triple-A Toledo ahead of his scheduled start in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Pirates.

Because they designated Montero as their 27th man for the twin bill, the Tigers waited until after their 8-0 win in the opening game of the day before activating him. The 23-year-old right-hander will make his MLB debut Wednesday before presumably heading back to Toledo immediately after the start. Over his nine outings with the Triple-A club this season spanning 30.2 innings, Montero has accrued a 4.40 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 36:17 K:BB.
