Burger is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Twins.

Burger has now been out of the lineup four times across the Rangers' last five games against right-handers. Rowdy Tellez will again be at first base and bat cleanup for Texas.

Jeffers is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Rangers.

Jeffers started each of the last two games after being activated from the 7-day injured list, but he'll grab a seat for Thursday's matinee. Christian Vazquez will be behind the dish and bat ninth for the Twins.

Outman is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Rangers.

The left-handed-hitting Outman had started three of the past four games against righties, but he'll take a seat Thursday as the Rangers send righty Tyler Mahle to the bump. Carson McCusker will be in right field and bat seventh for the Twins.

Rutschman is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Rays.

Rutschman started at catcher in each of the first two games of the series, but he'll get a breather during Thursday's matinee. Alex Jackson is behind the dish and batting eighth for the Orioles.

Holliday (knee) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays.

Holliday will miss a second straight start due to knee soreness. He's considered day-to-day, but even a minor injury at this point of the season could be a season-ender. Jorge Mateo will start at second base and bat ninth for the Orioles on Thursday.

Fermin earned a hold against the Royals on Wednesday with a perfect inning of work.

After Yusei Kikuchi was pulled from the contest due to a left forearm cramp, Fermin took over in the sixth inning and retired all three batters he faced on 11 pitches. The right-hander has been effective since his most recent call-up from the minors Aug. 17, registering a 1.88 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 15:8 K:BB over 14.1 innings spanning 16 appearances. Fermin has recorded a modest six holds over 39 outings this season, but he's picked up a hold in each of his past two games.

Ward went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 3-2 win against the Royals on Wednesday.

Ward gave the Angels a 2-0 lead with his 420-foot solo shot to left-center field in the third inning. The long ball was his second in as many games and his sixth (all of which have been solo shots) over his past 10 contests. Ward has posted a career-high 36 home runs and 103 RBI over 655 plate appearances on the campaign.

Basallo (hand) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Rays but hopes to return to action Friday against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Basallo had to depart Wednesday's game after being hit on the right hand by a pitch, but X-rays came back clean and he's feeling better Thursday. The rookie will hope to return to the lineup after one day of rest.

Grisham went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run and two walks in an 8-1 win over the White Sox on Wednesday.

Grisham added to New York's lead with a two-run blast to center field in the eighth inning. The veteran outfielder has racked up 34 home runs on the campaign -- twice as many as his previous career-high mark, which he established in 2022 with San Diego. Grisham has also set career highs in RBI (74) and runs scored (84), and his .819 OPS is on pace to be his best as a pro as well.

Lowe is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Baltimore.

The left-handed-hitting Lowe has seen more opportunities against lefty hurlers this season, but he'll get a day off Thursday as the Orioles send southpaw Cade Povich to the bump. Jake Mangum is handling right field for the Rays.
