Senzel is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Senzel looked as though he might move into a more prominent role for the White Sox in the aftermath of last Tuesday's trade deadline, but he's started in only four of the ensuing eight games since the deadline. Though Paul DeJong is now out of the White Sox's infield mix, the club has prioritized Lenyn Sosa over Senzel for the open spot in the infield. Senzel hasn't helped his case for earning playing time by going 3-for-27 with seven strikeouts since signing with the White Sox over the All-Star break.

The Athletics recalled Alvarez from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Alvarez is taking the spot on the 26-man active roster vacated by Seth Brown (personal), who went on the paternity list. He could see some action at first base while Brown is away but is a good bet to be sent back down later this week when Brown returns.

Lewis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

After starting in each of the Twins' last eight games while batting .222 with three home runs, two doubles, 11 RBI and six runs, Lewis will get a breather for the Wednesday afternoon contest. Jose Miranda will spell Lewis at third base and bat third.

Lewis went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Cubs.

Lewis' power has come right back to him after he missed over three weeks with a groin injury. Over 11 games since his return, he's batting .250 (9-for-36) with four homers and 13 RBI. The third baseman continues to split his time between the hot corner and designated hitter to limit the physical toll of playing the field. Over 35 contests this year, he is slashing .280/.357/.680 with 14 long balls, 31 RBI, 25 runs scored and eight doubles.

Urshela isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Tuesday's game against Seattle.

Urshela will get a day to regroup Tuesday after going just 3-for-27 with two RBI over his last 10 games. Zach McKinstry will start at the hot corner instead and bat eighth.

Rengifo underwent season-ending surgery on his wrist Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rengifo landed on the injured list Saturday due to right wrist inflammation -- the second time this season his wrist has caused him to spend time on the IL. The timing of his procedure will put an early end to his 2024 campaign, but he is expected to be ready for the start of spring training next year. He'll finish with a .300/.347/.417 slash line with six homers, 30 RBI and 24 steals across 78 games.

Lee (shoulder) is starting at second base and batting ninth Tuesday against the Cubs.

Lee sat out the past two games while dealing with soreness in his right shoulder, but he's ready to rejoin the lineup for Tuesday's matchup at Wrigley Field. The 23-year-old has struggled at the plate since the All-Star break with a .229/.309/.229 slash line in 13 games.

The Angels activated Rendon (back) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

The 34-year-old is back on the active roster after spending the 10-day minimum on the shelf due to lower-back inflammation. Rendon will have to wait a day before seeing game action, however, since Tuesday's game was postponed into a doubleheader Wednesday.

DeJong is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

DeJong started at third base in four of the Royals' first five games after being traded from the White Sox, but he's now been withheld from the starting lineup for back-to-back contests. Maikel Garcia will play the hot corner while Michael Massey plays the keystone.

Mayo is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Toronto.

Mayo started the Orioles' first three contests following his promotion, going 0-for-9 with a 5:2 K:BB. He'll begin this one on the bench as Ramon Urias gets the start at third base.
