Semien went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Athletics.

Semien logged a second consecutive two-hit game. It's been feast or famine for the second baseman, who in 12 games played has seven multi-hit efforts and five in which he's had zero hits.

Lopez and the Twins won't play Thursday against the Tigers after the game was postponed because of inclement weather in Detroit.

The two clubs will make up the contest as part of a straight doubleheader Saturday. Lopez and Tarik Skubal -- who had also been scheduled to start Thursday -- will both be pushed back a day in the pitching schedule to start Friday's series opener.

Sheets went 3-for-5 with a home run, two doubles, five RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's loss to the Guardians. He also stole a base.

Sheets had himself a day at the plate Wednesday, driving home the first run of the game with a double in the top of the first before coming around to score himself, putting Chicago up 2-0. He then launched a three-run shot in the third and another RBI double in the 10th to put the White Sox up yet again, though his incredible effort would still fall short in the loss. It marked Sheets' first three-hit game of the season and his third multi-hit game in his last six contests. He's now batting .360 in April with two homers, seven RBI and four runs scored.

Naylor went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and a walk in Wednesday's come-from-behind win over the White Sox.

Naylor's two-run shot off Erick Fedde in the bottom of the fourth brought the Guardians back to within two runs of Chicago and came just three at-bats after his older brother Josh's solo home run -- on National Siblings Day. The young catcher then played the role of hero in extra innings, driving home Tyler Freeman with a walk-off single in the bottom of the 10th as Cleveland improved to 9-3 on the season. Naylor is still batting just .194 following the two-hit performance, though he's now homered in two of his last six games. It also marked his third multi-hit game this month.

Fedde allowed five runs (four earned) on four hits over five innings but did not factor into the decision as the White Sox fell to Cleveland on Wednesday. He struck out three and issued three walks.

Fedde appeared to be rolling early as the White Sox jumped out to a 5-0 lead, retiring 10 of the first 12 batters he faced in the contest. However, things began to unravel in the bottom of the fourth when the right-hander surrendered a solo homer to Josh Naylor with one out, followed by a two-run shot off the bat of Josh's brother Bo Naylor just three batters later. Fedde allowed three long balls on the day, the second time in three starts in which he's allowed multiple home runs. On a positive note, the right-hander was able to make it through five innings for the second straight start and still has not suffered a loss on the season.

Bibee (1-0) pitched 4.1 innings during Wednesday's win over the White Sox, allowing five runs on six hits while walking three and striking out two. He didn't factor in the decision

Bibee was victimized by Gavin Sheets early as the first baseman doubled home a run in the first inning and then launched a three-run shot in the third to put the Guardians in an early 5-0 hole. The 25-year-old right-hander was unable to make it through five innings for the second time in his first three starts, allowing a season-high five earned runs, though he managed to avoid the loss thanks to Cleveland's late comeback. He'll look to lower his 5.93 ERA next week when the Guardians travel to Boston to take on the Red Sox.

Isbel went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 11-2 win over the Astros.

Isbel is just 4-for-20 (.200) over his last seven games, but he has three steals in that span. The 27-year-old continues to see a strong-side platoon role in center field, sharing the position with utility man Garrett Hampson. Isbel has a .235/.257/.353 slash line with a home run, three RBI and three runs scored over 36 plate appearances this season, so it's unlikely he'll hit higher than the bottom third of the order.

Frazier went 1-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Wednesday's 11-2 win over the Astros.

Frazier hasn't done much with the bat so far, hitting .231 with no extra-base hits over 31 plate appearances through 11 games. The second baseman has added three RBI, three runs scored and a 5:3 BB:K. Frazier is seeing a bit less than a strong-side platoon role at the keystone -- he has sat in favor of Nick Loftin against a couple of right-handed hitters, making the position more of a 50-50 split early in the campaign. Frazier could see his role reduced further once Michael Massey (back), who has been on a rehab assignment since Friday, is activated from the injured list.

Gelof went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Rangers.

Gelof's eighth-inning solo shot didn't have much of an impact on the final score, but it extended his on-base streak to six games and marked his second homer over his past three contests. The second baseman is 6-for-14 with five RBI over that three-game span, as he appears to be turning things around following a slow start to the campaign. Prior to the the offensive spurt, Gelof began the season batting .156 with no homers or RBI and a 5:13 BB:K across his first 32 at-bats.
