  • Colt Keith 2B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Sitting out with sore shoulder

    Keith (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Kansas City.

    Keith was removed from Tuesday's game with a right shoulder injury. Per Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press, Keith was able to test out his arm with some fielding drills pregame Wednesday, suggesting that his absence might not last long. The Tigers are idle Thursday before beginning a weekend series in Baltimore. Zach McKinstry will cover second base Wednesday.

  • Brett Wisely 2B | SF

    Giants' Brett Wisely: Getting day off

    Wisely is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Wisely will retreat to the bench after he went just 1-for-17 with eight strikeouts and one walk while starting in each of the past six games. Donovan Walton will spell Wisely at second base.

  • Edouard Julien 2B | MIN

    Twins' Edouard Julien: Losing work vs. righties

    Julien is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

    Julien looks like he could be moving out of the strong-side platoon role at second base that he's held since receiving a call-up from Triple-A St. Paul in mid-August. He'll hit the bench for the third time in four games Wednesday, with two of those absences coming against right-handed pitchers.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Absent from Wednesday's lineup

    Garcia (wrist) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Garcia was removed from Tuesday's contest with right wrist discomfort, although the exit was deemed precautionary. With lefty Jose Quintana on the hill for the Mets, there's a good chance Garcia wouldn't have been starting even if he were 100 percent. Jose Tena will cover second base for the Nationals while Ildemaro Vargas occupies third.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Shuttered for season

    Triple-A Worcester placed Campbell (lat) on the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

    Campbell hadn't played since last Wednesday due to the left lat strain, and his move to the IL likely means that Worcester is no longer counting on the 22-year-old to return before its regular season ends Sunday. The injury brings an end to a whirlwind campaign for Campbell, who opened the season at High-A Greenville and received two promotions while slashing .330/.439/.558 with 20 home runs and 24 stolen bases in 519 plate appearances across three levels. His lat injury isn't believed to be a major concern, so he should head into spring training at full strength.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | KC

    Royals' Adam Frazier: Not in lineup Wednesday

    Frazier is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Tigers.

    After a string a five straight starts, Frazier has now been out of the lineup for two games in a row. His absence Wednesday comes against lefty Tarik Skubal, so it's no surprise the left-handed-hitting Frazier will be on the bench to begin the contest.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Sitting against Skubal

    Massey is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

    Ace lefty Tarik Skubal is getting the start for the Tigers, so the left-handed-hitting Massey will begin the contest on the bench. Maikel Garcia will handle second base as the Royals try avoid the sweep.

  • Javier Sanoja CF | MIA

    Marlins' Javier Sanoja: Returns to bench role

    Sanoja is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

    After getting called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sept. 7, Sanoja proceeded to start in seven of the Marlins' ensuing nine games, seeing time in left field, center field and both middle-infield spots during that stretch. However, with Xavier Edwards stepping back in as the Marlins' everyday shortstop and with Miami facing right-handers on consecutive days, Sanoja has found himself back on the bench for both contests. The rookie looks set to operate as a short-side platoon player for the duration of the season.

  • Angels' Christian Moore: Returns for Double-A finale

    Moore (knee) returned to the lineup for Double-A Rocket City's 8-0 win over Chattanooga on Saturday, serving as the designated hitter while going 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, four RBI and two runs.

    Moore had been sidelined for just over two weeks with a left meniscus injury before joining the Rocket City lineup for what proved to be the club's season finale, as Sunday's game versus Chattanooga was cancelled due to inclement weather. The No. 8 overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Moore shined between stops at Rocket City and Single-A Inland Empire following his selection, slashing a combined .347/.400/.584 with six home runs and 20 RBI.

  • Jack Lopez 2B | LAA

    Angels' Jack Lopez: Batting second Wednesday

    Lopez will start at shortstop and bat second Wednesday against the White Sox, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Zach Neto is getting a rare day off, so Lopez will step in at shortstop after each of his previous seven starts with the Angels had come at second base. Since receiving a call-up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Aug. 15, Lopez has slashed a dismal .065/.121/.186 with a 41.2 percent strikeout rate over 34 plate appearances.
