Orioles manager Craig Albernaz said that Henderson (foot) will not be in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Henderson had to be lifted from Tuesday's contest after fouling a ball off his foot, and he remains sore. The Orioles are idle Thursday, so Henderson will aim to return to action Friday when Baltimore begins a road trip in Toronto.

The Diamondbacks activated Soroka (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

Soroka will follow starter Zac Gallen on Wednesday in Kansas City in what's expected to be a piggyback start. The 29-year-old did not make any rehab appearances, instead opting for a 59-pitch simulated game Friday. Soroka could make some starts later this month, though the Diamondbacks have not divulged their specific plans for the righty.

The Diamondbacks activated Gallen (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

Gallen will rejoin the Diamondbacks' rotation with a start Wednesday in Kansas City after missing the past two months with right elbow inflammation. The right-hander built up to four innings and 60 pitches during a simulated game Friday, so he should be capable of 70 pitches Wednesday. Michael Soroka (shoulder) will follow Gallen in the series finale.

Vargas is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's tilt against the Pirates.

It's a rare day off for Vargas, who had started every White Sox game since Aug. 13. Colson Montgomery will slide over to third base for the Southsiders while Vargas gets a breather.

Chisholm (thumb) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rockies.

Chisholm had to be lifted from Tuesday's contest against the Rockies after hurting his right thumb on a slide into second base. He is listed among the Yankees' reserves on the lineup card, so Chisholm has avoided a trip to the injured list for the time being. Jose Caballero is stepping in at second base in Chisholm's stead.

DeLauter (wrist) will start in right field and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

DeLauter missed the previous four contests while battling a sprained right wrist, but he is feeling well enough to give it a go in Wednesday's series finale. The rookie outfielder is slashing .329/.404/.479 during the second half, though he's homered only twice in 40 games.

Winn was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Francisco due to left thumb soreness, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Winn just returned from the 10-day injured list Tuesday after missing more than two weeks with a left thumb fracture, and it seems he might have been activated too soon. If Winn needs to go back on the IL, it would likely end his season. The Cardinals could offer more on the shortstop's status after Wednesday's contest. Jose Fermin will enter the lineup in Winn's place and will play second base, while Thomas Saggese will shift over to shortstop.

The Marlins optioned Blalock to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

A spot on the active roster was needed to accommodate the return of Pete Fairbanks (hand). Blalock made two three-inning relief appearances during his brief stint with the Marlins, yielding a total of two runs with a 6:2 K:BB.

The Marlins activated Fairbanks (hand) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

As expected, Fairbanks required only a minimum 15-day absence while recovering from right medial nerve irritation in his pitching hand. Fairbanks did not make any rehab appearances, but he will likely be immediately thrown back into the closer role after a relatively brief absence.

The White Sox recalled Murphy from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.

He is taking the roster spot vacated by Tyler Davis (bereavement). Murphy has logged 29 appearances for the White Sox this season, collecting a 4.20 ERA and 29:15 K:BB across 30 innings of work. He could be with the big club only while Davis is away for the next few days.
