McNeil is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Twins on Wednesday.

McNeil will take a breather after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Tuesday's 4-2 win over Minnesota. Tommy White will start at first base and bat fifth against Twins southpaw Connor Prielipp.

Massey (head) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Massey will need at least one day off following his removal from Tuesday's 5-3 win after falling and hitting his head while making a throw to first base. Per MLB.com, Massey showed improvement after exiting the game, and the Royals haven't indicated that he's exhibiting any symptoms of a concussion. Tyler Tolbert will fill in for Massey at second base in the middle contest of the three-game series.

Moore will start at second base and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

Moore will draw his fifth start in as many days at the keystone following his promotion from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday. He's gotten on base just three times over the last four games, though he's provided a solo home run and a double during that stretch. Moore should have a clear path to an everyday role in the infield while Nolan Schanuel (intercostal) is stuck on the injured list.

Norby will start at second base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game versus the Nationals.

It's the third straight start at second base and fourth consecutive start overall for Norby, who is slashing .289/.386/.500 with one home run in his first 13 games with the Rockies. Willi Castro has been playing third base in place of the injured Kyle Karros (concussion), and Norby could continue to fill in at second base while Karros is out.

Young is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Phillies.

It's only the second day off all season for the left-handed-hitting Young, who will grab a seat as the Phillies send southpaw Jesus Luzardo to the bump. Brock Rodden will slot in at second base in Young's stead.

Furman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

With southpaw Nick Lodolo toeing the rubber for the Reds, Furman will head to the bench along with fellow left-handed batters Drew Gilbert, Jung Hoo Lee (elbow) and Drew Cavanaugh. Shay Whitcomb will step in at second base for Furman, who covered the keystone in the first two games of the series following his promotion from Triple-A Sacramento and went 1-for-5 with three strikeouts.

Foscue went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 11-7 loss to the White Sox.

Foscue launched his ninth home run of the season as part of the Rangers' three-run sixth inning. The right-handed-hitting Foscue typically starts against left-handers and owns a .304/.388/.588 slash line against southpaws in 2026.

Grissom went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three total RBI in Tuesday's 8-6 extra-inning loss to the Guardians.

Grissom did significant damage against Cleveland's pitching, taking Gavin Williams deep for a two-run homer in the first inning before adding a solo shot off Logan Allen in the fifth. The latter blast restored the Angels' lead at 6-5, but the bullpen couldn't protect it. Tuesday marked Grissom's first multi-homer game of the season and represented an encouraging power display for the 25-year-old, who has gone yard a career-high nine times in 2026.

Meidroth went 3-for-5 with an RBI on Tuesday against the Rangers.

Meidroth tallied three singles, the second of which drove in a run to put the White Sox up 8-1. It was a needed performance, as he entered Tuesday's game having gone just 5-for-39 across his last 10 games. Meidroth also recorded an RBI for the first time since Aug. 13, a span of 11 starts.

Albies went 2-for-3 with two RBI in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers.

Albies recorded his third consecutive two-hit performance, with his second knock Tuesday proving to be the biggest -- an RBI single in the eighth inning that brought home the eventual winning run. He has now reached base safely in nine straight games. Through 132 contests this season, Albies is slashing .255/.309/.420 with 20 home runs, 23 doubles, 67 RBI, 73 runs scored and two stolen bases.
