Colas will be recalled from Triple-A Charlotte prior to Wednesday's game in Cleveland, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

The White Sox need reinforcements with Yoan Moncada (adductor) joining Luis Robert (hip) and Eloy Jimenez (adductor) on the shelf. Colas is 9-for-28 with one home run and two doubles in the early going with Charlotte and should get a decent number of reps in the outfield, at least against right-handed pitching.

Kiner-Falefa went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.

It's the first three-hit performance of the season for Kiner-Falefa, and he's gone 6-for-12 over the last three games. The 29-year-old utility player is batting .313 (10-for-32) on the season after the surge, but he has only one steal, two RBI and three runs to show for it as he's mainly hit eighth in the order when he's been in the lineup.

Springer went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.

Outside of a couple early homers, the veteran outfielder had a sluggish start to the season, though Springer's bat seems to be coming around. He's collected six hits over the last five games with two doubles and three walks against only one strikeout, and Tuesday's steal was his first of the year while the RBI were his first since March 29.

Biggio went 2-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.

The steal was his first of the season. Biggio has hit safely in five straight games and has been a near-everyday fixture in the Blue Jays' lineup, primarily at second base, but the team also hasn't faced many left-handed starters yet. Through 11 contests, the 28-year-old is batting .290 (9-for-31) with one homer, three runs and four RBI.

The Orioles designated Kemp for assignment Wednesday.

Kemp's removal from the 40-man roster opens a spot for top prospect Jackson Holliday, who was called up from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move and is expected to take on a near-everyday role in the middle infield. Though he was able to crack the Orioles' Opening Day roster when he was signed shortly after being cut by the Reds in spring training, Kemp appeared in only five of Baltimore's first 10 games while going hitless in his nine at-bats.

The Orioles selected Holliday's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.

Holliday is set to make his much-anticipated major-league debut Wednesday in Boston. The top prospect had been firing on all cylinders early on at Norfolk, batting .333/.482/.595 with two homers, nine RBI, 18 runs scored and one stolen base in 10 games. Holliday will take over as the Orioles' everyday second baseman, which should mean more starts at third base for Jordan Westburg, who has been bouncing back and forth between second and third.

Caballero went 3-for-4 with two runs scored, two runs batted in and a stolen base Tuesday against the Angels.

Caballero's impressive start at the plate continued Tuesday, as he tallied his third-career three-hit game. The shortstop has now reached safely in all 10 games in which he's appeared this season and boasts a .353/.378/.441 slash line with six runs scored, five RBI and five stolen bases.

Trout went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Rays.

For a third consecutive day, Trout tallied a long ball, this time tagging Aaron Civale for a two-run shot. In just 11 appearances, Trout is one-third of the way to matching his home run total from 2023 that he achieved in 82 games played. He's tied with Tyler O'Neill for the most home runs in baseball with six and ranks second in slugging percentage (.780).

Alcala (undisclosed) struck out two over a scoreless inning of relief in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Dodgers.

Per Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com, Alcala dealt with some unspecified soreness coming out of his most recent relief appearance in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Cleveland, prompting the Twins to hold him out of Monday's series-opening 4-2 loss to Los Angeles. Alcala was able to play light catch Sunday without incident, and after returning to action Tuesday and delivering a solid outing, he looks to be good to go moving forward. The right-hander is off to an excellent start to the 2024 campaign, striking out six over 5.2 scoreless innings while allowing just two hits and two walks.

Fairbanks picked up the save Tuesday, allowing one run on two hits and a walk while striking out two during one inning against the Angels.

Fairbanks entered the contest with three runs of cushion but still gave fantasy managers a bit of a scare. He allowed a pair of singles -- one of which plated Aaron Hicks -- then walked Anthony Rendon to put runners on first and second with two outs when he struck out Miguel Sano. After being one of the more reliable closers in baseball last season, Fairbanks owns an awful 15.00 ERA through four appearances and could be losing his grip on the ninth-inning job after allowing at least one run three times to date.
