Smith is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

Smith will get a day off while he's managed a .198/.258/.285 batting line since the All-Star break. The Rangers will give Adolis Garcia a start in the designated-hitter spot, while Travis Jankowski will patrol right field.

Bregman (elbow) will serve as the Astros' designated hitter and leadoff batter in Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Bregman will return to the lineup for the first time in a week, as he had been on the bench for each of the past five games while dealing with swelling on the back of his right elbow. General manager Dana Brown said earlier Wednesday that Bregman could play third base if needed, but the Astros will ease him back in a non-defensive role in his first game since Aug. 14. Bregman had typically served as the Astros' No. 2 hitter prior to suffering the injury, but he'll move into the leadoff spot Wednesday while normal table setter Jose Altuve gets a day off.

Astros general manager Dana Brown said in a radio appearance with SportsTalk 790 Houston that Bregman (elbow) is expected to be back in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Red Sox as the team's designated hitter.

Brown added that Brown could play "third base if we needed him," but the club will ease him back in at DH as he returns from swelling in his right elbow. Bregman has been out of the lineup for the past five contests while dealing with an elbow issue that popped up when he slept on it awkwardly.

Lee (shoulder) will work out Thursday with Triple-A St. Paul and could go on a rehab assignment over the weekend, MLB.com reports.

Lee has progressed in the past few days to throwing and hitting from both sides of the plate. Lee went on the injured list Aug. 9 with right biceps tendinitis, for which he received a cortisone shot. It sounds like he could be activated from the IL early next week.

Bregman (elbow) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

The third baseman will sit for the fifth consecutive game due to swelling in the back of his right elbow. Rome previously speculated Bregman may not rejoin the lineup until Thursday's series opener in Baltimore, but he hasn't been officially ruled out for Wednesday's series finale versus Boston.

Westburg (hand) has been cleared to field grounders and take one-handed swings, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

It's not much, but it's the beginning of a ramp-up for Westburg as he works his way back from a fractured right hand. The infielder will eventually need to undergo some additional imaging to see how his hand has healed before a clearer timetable for his return can be established. Westburg suffered the injury on July 31.

Cabrera is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Cleveland.

Cabrera started at third base in three of the first four games after Jazz Chisholm (elbow) hit the injured list Aug. 14, but he's yielded to Oswald Peraza at the hot corner in back-to-back contests -- both against a left-handed starting pitcher. Cabrera is slashing .251/.296/.376 with eight home runs in 285 plate appearances this season.

Clement is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Clement is absent from the starting nine for the first time in 28 games for what's likely a maintenance day. The infielder has been seeing the ball well this month, going 18-for-65 (.277) with a pair of homers, three stolen bases and a 10.3 percent K rate.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday in his appearance on Jomboy Media's "Talkin' Yanks" podcast that it would be "a little ambitious" to think Chisholm (elbow) could return from the 10-day injured list when first eligible on Aug. 24.

Chisholm has, by all accounts, bounced back quickly from a UCL sprain in his left (non-throwing) elbow, as he's already resumed fielding grounders and hopes to be cleared to swing a bat soon. However, while the player had expressed optimism about returning when his 10 days are up, his manager is downplaying the possibility. A clearer timetable for Chisholm's return should be available in the coming days.

Clement went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Monday's 6-3 loss to the Reds.

Clement salvaged his stat line with a ninth-inning homer off Alexis Diaz, the infielder's eighth long ball of the season. Clement is 6-for-24 (.250) with two home runs and a triple over his last six games and owns a .704 OPS on the year.
