Lowe isn't in Thursday's lineup against the Orioles.

Lowe will get a day off with left-hander John Means serving as the starting pitcher for the Orioles on Thursday. Joey Wendle will start at second base while Hunter Renfroe will be deployed as the right fielder.

Dubon is not starting Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.

Dubon is hitting .264/.308/.319 with a homer and two stolen bases across 28 games this season. Mike Yastrzemski is covering center field in his place.

Urias is not starting Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Reds.

Jace Peterson is starting at the keystone in place of Urias in this one. In 12 games since returning from the IL, Urias is slashing .268/.333/.341 with four RBI and four runs scored.

Frazier is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Frazier has started the past five games, going 5-for-20 with a home run and four RBI during that stretch. In his absence, Kevin Newman is covering second base and hitting third.

Garcia went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's loss to the Phillies.

The rookie swiped the first bag of his big-league career in the fourth inning. Garcia continues to find success since being added to the roster, hitting .333 (11-for-33) over his last nine games with a homer, a steal, three RBI and five runs.

Mendick went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during Wednesday's 10-3 win against Pittsburgh.

The 26-year-old capped off the White Sox's four-run second inning by hitting a two-run shot to right field. Mendick has been a fixture at the bottom of the lineup with Nick Madrigal (shoulder) and Leury Garcia (thumb) sidelined, and he's taken advantage of the opportunity with a .266/.314/.443 slash line and nine runs, three homers and six RBI in 25 games.

Hoerner went 3-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-6 loss to the Tigers.

Hoerner has fallen behind Jason Kipnis in the second base pecking order at the moment, but the former is still a plenty capable hitter. The 23-year-old has a bright future in Chicago, and he could certainly earn more playing time this season if he gets hot and Kipnis falls into a slump.

Lowe went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Orioles.

Lowe took Asher Wojciechowski deep in the third inning for his 10th homer of the season. After a power surge throughout the middle of August, Lowe has cooled a bit at the plate, as he's now just 3-for-22 across his last six games. Despite a slow stretch at the dish, Lowe is still hitting an impressive .296/.397/.676 with 26 runs scored and 27 RBI across 126 plate appearances to this point in the season.
