Solano is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Cleveland.

Solano manned first base for the first two games of the series and went 3-for-11 with a double, a triple, three RBI and a run scored, but he'll get a breather for the day game after a night game. Edouard Julien will cover first base for the Twins in the series finale.

Naylor is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Twins.

Naylor was in the lineup for his first three games back from the injured list but will get some rest Wednesday in the day game after a night game. Kole Calhoun will occupy first base for the Guardians while Naylor sits.

Aranda went 1-for-2 with a triple, three walks, an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-6 win over the Red Sox.

Aranda got the scoring started in the second inning after Wilyer Abreu lost a flyball in the Tropicana Field catwalks, resulting in an RBI triple. The 25-year-old Aranda, who got the start at DH, would reach base three more times via walks in the contest, scoring a pair of runs. Aranda's playing time's been sparse since he was called up Aug. 15. He's gone 5-for-22 (.227) with one home run in that span. He did post eye-popping numbers in the minors, however, batting .339 with 25 homers and a 1.063 OPS across 95 Triple-A games.

O'Hearn isn't in the Orioles' lineup Tuesday against the Angels.

Southpaw Reid Detmers will begin Tuesday's game on the mound for the Angels, forcing O'Hearn's left-handed bat to the bench. O'Hearn's absence will put Ryan Mountcastle at first base, Aaron Hicks in right field and Anthony Santander in as Baltimore's DH.

Manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Rizzo (concussion) will be shut down for the rest of the 2023 season, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

The veteran first baseman continues to make cognitive improvements but won't be rushed back to game action this year with the Yankees eight games back of the final wild-card spot in the American League. Rizzo faced live pitching in late August for the first time since he landed on the injured list Aug. 3 with post-concussion syndrome, and he should continue working through his rehab program even though he won't be back in the lineup in 2023. The 34-year-old is under contract for 2024 at $17 million and will have around six more months to prepare for the start of spring training.

Beaty is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

The lefty-hitting Beaty is on the bench for the third straight game, with two of those absences having come against right-handed starting pitchers. Beaty had a brief run as a strong-side platoon player at first base to close out August, but the Royals appear to have instead opted for a committee approach to the position.

France (elbow) went 1-for-4 with a run in a loss to the Reds on Monday.

France was able to draw the start at first base after a day off Sunday to rest his sore elbow following a hit-by-pitch Saturday. The veteran didn't appear any worse for wear from his MLB-high 29th plunking of the season, but his extra-base-hit drought continued -- France last reached safely with anything more than a single 12 games ago via a double Aug. 21 against the White Sox.

Casas went 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI and two runs scored in Monday's win over Tampa Bay.

Casas put the Red Sox on top with his three-run shot in the sixth inning and later added an RBI single. After a bit of a cold spell for most of August, his bat is getting hot again. Over his last 10 games, Casas has gone 15-for-34 (.441) with three homers, 10 RBI and a 6:7 BB:K. For the season, his slash line is up to .268/.368/.503 with 45 extra-base hits and 59 RBI through 123 games.

O'Hearn is not in Monday's lineup against the Angels.

O'Hearn is hitting .316 with one home run, five runs and nine RBI over his last 10 games. As is typically the case, he'll hit the bench with lefty Kenny Rosenberg starting for the Angels.

Diaz is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Red Sox, Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

It looks to be a routine day off for Diaz. Jonathan Aranda will be filling in at first base and Josh Lowe has been elevated to the leadoff spot.
