McKinstry (back) isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.

McKinstry will miss a third consecutive start due to a back issue that flared up shortly before Tuesday's contest. Javier Baez will pick up a start at shortstop and bat ninth while McKinstry recovers.

Caminero went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the White Sox.

Caminero has begun September by logging at least one hit in eight of his first nine contests of the month. The 22-year-old slugger has positioned himself as one of Tampa Bay's franchise cornerstones with a breakout 2025 campaign, hitting .263 with 42 homers, 105 RBI, 87 runs scored and seven stolen bases across 548 at-bats. It's worth pointing out Caminero owns a potent .976 OPS at home versus a .710 OPS on the road this year, so he's significantly benefitted from having half of his outings at hitter-friendly George M. Steinbrenner Field.

Mead is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Mead had started in each of Chicago's previous 12 games, but he'll hit the bench while the White Sox welcome Miguel Vargas (wrist) back from the injured list. Given that he slashed a middling .255/.300/.362 over that 12-game stretch, Mead may not have made a compelling enough of a case for the White Sox to continue giving him everyday at-bats in the corner infield ahead of Mead and Lenyn Sosa. The right-handed-hitting Mead will likely continue to play regularly against left-handed pitching, however.

McKinstry (back) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

McKinstry is day-to-day will back stiffness, which resulted in him being scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's 12-2 win. He'll remain on the bench Wednesday, though even if fully healthy, the left-handed-hitting utility player might have sat anyway with southpaw Carlos Rodon on the bump for New York.

The White Sox optioned Ramos to Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.

Ramos went 2-for-12 at the dish during his brief stint with the big club. He's being dispatched to Charlotte in order to clear space on the active roster for the return of Miguel Vargas (hand) from the injured list.

Rivera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

After seeing his eight-game hitting streak come to an end following an 0-for-4 performance in Tuesday's 3-2 win, Rivera will get a breather Wednesday. Jeremiah Jackson will step in at third base in place of Rivera, who had started in each of the previous seven games.

The White Sox activated Vargas (hand) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

He will start at third base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game versus the Rays, marking his return to action following nearly a two-week absence with a left hand sprain. Vargas bypassed a rehab assignment, as the White Sox were satisfied with how he looked and felt while reincorporating baseball activities over the last few days.

Moncada is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Moncada will get a breather for Wednesday's matinee after he had been included in the starting nine in each of the Angels' previous five contests. Oswald Peraza will move across the diamond and will fill in for Moncada at the hot corner.

Moncada went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI, three runs scored and a walk in a 12-2 win over the Twins on Tuesday.

The homer was Moncada's first of the month of September and his 12th of the season. The veteran third baseman is working toward ending the campaign on quite the high note. Across his last 81 plate appearances (23 games), Moncada is slashing .300/.395/.571 with 10 extra-base hits, 10 RBI and 13 runs scored to push his OPS up to .815 for the year.

McKinstry was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Yankees due to upper-back stiffness.

McKinstry lost what had been a six-game hitting streak during Sunday's contest, and his back will now force him to the bench for Tuesday's series opener. While he recovers, Trey Sweeney will start at shortstop and bat ninth.
