  • Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Idle versus lefty

    Canzone is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

    The lefty-hitting Canzone will head to the bench while southpaw Logan Allen takes the hill for Cleveland. The Mariners will call on Dylan Moore to replace Canzone in left field.

  • Luke Raley RF | SEA

    Mariners' Luke Raley: Stuck in backup role

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

    After being acquired from the Rays in January, the lefty-hitting Raley looked to be a candidate to open the season in a strong-side platoon role, but a poor spring resulted in him falling behind Dominic Canzone and Mitch Haniger in the competition for regular starts versus righties out of the corner outfield. Though Canzone is on the bench Wednesday, Raley will be riding pine along with him while the Guardians bring southpaw Logan Allen to the hill.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Resting Wednesday

    Raleigh is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

    Raleigh will get a rest for the day game after he logged nine innings behind the dish and went 2-for-4 with a run scored in a 5-2 loss Tuesday night. Seby Zavala will handle the catching duties in the series finale.

  • Dominic Leone RP | CHW

    White Sox's Dominic Leone: Chicago-Atlanta postponed Wednesday

    Leone won't start Wednesday against Atlanta after the game was postponed due to inclement weather in Chicago.

    Leone had been scheduled to open Wednesday's game on the mound in what was set to be a bullpen day for Chicago, but as a result of the postponement, the game will be made up June 27. The White Sox will return to action Thursday in Kansas City, with Michael Soroka scheduled to start that contest and Leone set to return to his familiar bullpen role.

  • Tyler Freeman RF | COL

    Guardians' Tyler Freeman: Heads to bench Wednesday

    Freeman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

    He'll give way to Estevan Florial in center field after starting in five of the Guardians' first six games of the season while hitting .211 with a home run and a stolen base.

  • George Valera LF | CLE

    Guardians' George Valera: Opens season on shelf

    Triple-A Columbus placed Valera (hamstring) on its 7-day injured list Friday.

    The outfield prospect suffered a strained hamstring early in spring training and is still working his way back from the injury, so he'll be inactive for the early part of the minor-league season. Valera, 23, slashed .211/.343/.375 with 10 home runs and one stolen base in 312 plate appearances for Columbus a season ago.

  • Trent Grisham CF | NYY

    Yankees' Trent Grisham: Draws second start of season

    Grisham will start in center field and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    He'll crack the lineup for just the second time in the Yankees' first seven games of the season while Giancarlo Stanton gets a breather and Aaron Judge fills in for him as the designated hitter. While all of Stanton, Judge, Juan Soto and Alex Verdugo are all healthy, Grisham looks as though he'll be limited to a fourth-outfielder role.

  • Jon Berti 3B | CHC

    Yankees' Jon Berti: Takes seat in third straight game

    Berti is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Berti will stay on the bench for a third game in a row after making his first start with the Yankees in 4-3 win over the Astros on Sunday, when he went 1-for-4 with an RBI. Though DJ LeMahieu (foot) is facing an uncertain timeline for a return, Berti looks like he'll be ticketed for a utility role while the hot-hitting Oswaldo Cabrera operates as the club's primary third baseman.

  • Casey Mize SP | SD

    Tigers' Casey Mize: Tigers-Mets postponed Wednesday

    Mize and the Tigers won't face the Mets on Wednesday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather at Citi Field.

    The interleague matchup has now been postponed for consecutive days and will be made up as part of a doubleheader Thursday. Expect Mize to start at least one of the two contests.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Getting breather Wednesday

    Stanton is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Arizona.

    Stanton has been slow out of the gate this season, going 3-for-20 with a 1:11 BB:K, although one of those hits was a home run. The Yankees will give Aaron Judge a start at designated hitter Wednesday, with Trent Grisham getting the call in center field.
