Shewmake will start at shortstop and bat sixth in Wednesday's game versus Atlanta.

Shewmake will get his second straight start at shortstop, and he has now been in the lineup four of the five times the White Sox have faced a right-hander. He could be overtaking Paul DeJong as Chicago's preferred option at shortstop, at least against righties.

Sheets will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game versus Atlanta.

Eloy Jimenez (adductor) has missed three straight starts, with the White Sox turning to Sheets to fill in at DH each time. The 27-year-old reached base three times and drove in a run in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Atlanta.

Jimenez (adductor) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus Atlanta.

Jimenez will miss a third straight start after tweaking his left adductor during Sunday's game against the Tigers. The White Sox maintain optimism that Jimenez will be able to avoid a stint on the injured list, and the rough weather conditions in Chicago also could have played a part in the club's decision to sit him again. Gavin Sheets will pick up another start at designated hitter Wednesday.

Adell will start in center field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game in Miami.

It's Adell's second start in six games, although he did come off the bench in Monday's contest, adding two steals and an RBI. While at-bats in the early going have been tough to come by so far for Adell, the team may eventually give him one last look in a regular role.

Rengifo is starting at third base and batting leadoff in Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

It's just the second start for Rengifo in the Angels' first six games, although he has also entered two additional contests off the bench. Rengifo is filling in for Anthony Rendon at the hot corner.

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

With southpaw A.J. Puk on the bump for Miami, the lefty-hitting Schanuel will head to the bench in the series finale. Miguel Sano will fill in at first base for Schanuel, who had started in each of the Halos' first five games while reaching base at a .400 clip and hitting a home run.

Rendon is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Miami, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Rendon batted leadoff in each of the first five games this season but is still looking for his first hit. Luis Rengifo will take his spot both at the top of the batting order and at third base.

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

Even with the Angels playing a day game after a night game, No. 1 catcher Logan O'Hoppe will remain behind the dish for the second day in a row while Thaiss sticks on the bench. Though he was able to secure the backup catcher job coming out of spring training, Thaiss doesn't look as though he'll play much more than once or twice a week while O'Hoppe is healthy. Through the Angels' first six games, Thaiss has made only one start.

Rosario is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Rosario will hit the bench after he started each of the last four games -- three in right field, one at shortstop -- while going 2-for-15 with a double, a walk and an RBI. The righty-hitting Rosario should be a mainstay in the lineup versus left-handed pitching, but he'll occasionally mix into the starting nine against righties, too. Two of his four starts to date have come versus right-handed pitching.

DeJong went 1-for-2 with a solo home run Tuesday against Atlanta.

DeJong began Tuesday's game on the bench, with Braden Shewmake instead getting the start at shortstop. DeJong has now been out of the lineup for two of the White Sox's first five games and has also struck out seven times in 11 plate appearances. He has also mixed in two homers, but Shewmake has the potential to continue cutting into his playing time.
