Harris was placed on the 7-day injured list at Double-A Frisco on Wednesday. He was seen with a brace on his wrist from an injury suffered Saturday, Michael Tepid of Loonestarball.com reports.

Harris is hitting .259 with 18 home runs and 19 stolen bases with a .831 OPS in Double-A in 86 games this season. He's a dark-horse candidate to be called up to the majors in September, so the hope will be that this injury doesn't sidetrack the rest of his season.

Rizzo (back) is starting at first base and batting third in Wednesday's series finale against the Mariners.

Rizzo will be back in the lineup after missing the last five games while nursing lower-back tightness. Prior to going down with the injury, the 33-year-old went 6-for-19 with four homers, eight RBI and six runs over his last five games.

Kirilloff underwent successful surgery Tuesday in Los Angeles to shorten the ulnar bone in his right wrist and clean up scar tissue, Darren Wolfson of Channel 5 Saint Paul reports.

Kirilloff's season will come to an early end for the second year in a row due to right wrist surgery, with his latest procedure performed by Dr. Steven Shin and considered more uncommon than the prior one, which involved ligament damage. It's the third major surgery of the 24-year-old's professional career, as he previously missed the entire 2017 minor-league season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. The Twins are hopeful that Tuesday's procedure will provide a more permanent fix for Kirilloff's lingering wrist issues, and the expectation is that he'll be ready to go for spring training. He concludes the 2022 campaign with a .250 average, three home runs, 21 RBI and 14 runs over 155 plate appearances with the big club.

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

Raley started each of the Rays' past four games at either designated hitter or in a corner-outfield spot, going 2-for-13 with two walks and seven strikeouts. The 27-year-old is now sitting on a .580 OPS and a 31.9 percent strikeout rate in his 69 plate appearances in the majors this season, so it wouldn't be surprising if Raley sees his opportunities get scaled back in the near future.

Diaz went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Brewers.

Diaz took Freddy Peralta deep in the third inning to tally his sixth homer of the season. He entered the game hitless across his last five starts -- spanning 19 at-bats -- and has struggled to a .185 batting average in 14 games since the All-Star break. Even so, Diaz remains the Rays' primary leadoff hitter, and he is hitting .277/.392/.393 across 401 plate appearances for the season.

Pratto went 3-for-7 with a two-run home run, a sacrifice fly and three strikeouts as the Royals split Tuesday's doubleheader versus the White Sox.

Pratto's two-run home during the sixth inning of Game 1 extended Kansas City's lead to 4-1, and he also delivered a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning of the nightcap to cut the deficit to one run. The 23-year-old was called up by the Royals in mid-July, and he has a .212/.316/.439 slash line with three home runs, eight RBI and six runs in his first 21 big-league games. However, he's also struck out 26 times in 79 plate appearances.

Pasquantino went 3-for-7 with two home runs, a walk and three RBI as the Royals split Tuesday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

The 24-year-old delivered a two-run shot during the matinee and a solo homer during the nightcap, providing half of Kansas City's six total runs on the day. Pasquantino made his major-league debut in late June and is a lineup regular at designated hitter with a .237/.325/.385 slash line, five home runs, nine RBI and a 16:23 BB:K through 37 games.

Rizzo (back) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

Rizzo will sit out for the fifth straight contest as he continues to deal with lower-back tightness. According to Jack Curry of YES Network, manager Aaron Boone said the 33-year-old will go through a full workout Tuesday, and if all goes well he should be back in the lineup Wednesday. DJ LeMahieu will remain at first base with Gleyber Torres receiving another start at the keystone.

Vaughn is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Royals, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Vaughn started in right field during the matinee and went 1-for-4 with a double and a strikeout. AJ Pollock will take over in the field and bat leadoff in the nightcap.

Santana is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Yankees, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Santana is mired in an 0-for-14 slump and will take a seat for the second time in Seattle's past three games. Mitch Haniger will serve as the designated hitter while Sam Haggerty starts in right field.
