Triple-A Durham placed Basabe on its 7-day injured list Wednesday with a fractured right wrist, Triple-A Durham radio play-by-play broadcaster Patrick Kinas reports.

Basabe suffered the injury Tuesday, when he was hit by a pitch in his lone plate appearance during Durham's 7-4 loss to Worcester. The Rays haven't indicated whether Basabe's injury will require surgery, but given that he throws and bats from the right side, he'll likely be headed for a multi-week absence even if he doesn't require a procedure. Basabe, who appeared in 31 games for Tampa Bay last season and retains a spot on the Rays' 40-man roster, was hitting .224/.270/.276 over 63 plate appearances with Durham before being shut down with the injury.

Palacios is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

Palacios will hit the bench for the third time in four days, with all three of his absences coming against left-handed pitchers. He continues to hold down a strong-side platoon role in the corner outfield, but he'll give way to Amed Rosario on Wednesday.

Refsnyder (toe) will play at least one more full rehab game with Triple-A Worcester before being activated from the injured list, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Refsnyder noted that his fractured left pinky toe still isn't fully healed and he will just have to play through some pain. He also revealed that he's been told his main role upon his return will be as a late-inning pinch hitter or defensive replacement.

Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

The lefty-hitting Rortvedt will give way to the righty-hitting Rene Pinto behind the plate while southpaw Reid Detmers takes the hill for the Angels. Rortvedt appears to have secured a strong-side platoon role at catcher after posting an .852 OPS through his first 31 plate appearances of the season.

Adell is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Adell will head back to the bench after starting each of the last three games while going 2-for-10 with four strikeouts and getting caught on both of his stolen-base attempts. Despite the recent spike in starting opportunities, Adell shouldn't be viewed as anything more than a part-time player in the Anaheim outfield until he puts together a strong stretch of production at the plate.

Naylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Boston.

Naylor caught the previous two games for the Guardians but will give way to Austin Hedges on Wednesday. The young catcher is slashing .186/.327/.326 with two home runs and a 9:20 BB:K over his first 52 plate appearances this season.

Drury (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Tampa Bay, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Drury will miss a second straight start with a hamstring issue. He declared himself available to play off the bench Tuesday, so it would seem fair to call Drury day-to-day. The Angels will deploy Luis Rengifo at second base and Nolan Schanuel at first base Wednesday.

The Mariners reinstated Haggerty (medical procedure) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday and optioned him to Triple-A Tacoma.

Haggerty opened the season on the shelf after he underwent an unspecified medical procedure at some point late in spring training. He was cleared to begin a rehab assignment with Tacoma on April 5 and will end up sticking around with the affiliate after going 6-for-21 with two stolen bases across six games. Haggerty should still be one of the top options for a call-up if the Mariners have a need for an extra bench bat down the road.

Raley is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

The lefty-hitting Raley will head to the bench with southpaw Andrew Abbott on the hill for the Reds after going 2-for-10 with a triple and an RBI while starting in each of the past three games. Raley's opportunities to play against right-handed pitching look to be on the rise, but he's still not expected to be the primary replacement in left field for Dominic Canzone (shoulder), who was placed on the 10-day injured list earlier in the week. Instead, prospect Jonatan Clase is expected to get the first opportunity to fill in for Canzone.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said in an interview on WEEI that Devers (knee) is feeling better and could be ready to play Wednesday versus the Guardians, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Devers had to depart Tuesday's game against Cleveland with left knee discomfort, but it sounds like he's avoided a serious injury. The Red Sox should reveal their lineup shortly, so it will be known soon enough whether Devers is fully cleared.
