Caminero went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Astros.

Caminero has gone 1-for-7 with a walk and three strikeouts over his first two major-league games this season. He's started against both a left-hander and a right-hander in those contests, which suggests the Rays are willing to let the top prospect handle an everyday role initially. His steal Wednesday was his first in the majors, though it's not likely to be a big part of his game since he's never stolen more than 12 bases across all levels in a single year.

Suarez went 3-for-4 with a grand slam, two doubles and an additional RBI in Wednesday's win against the Rockies.

Suarez smacked two doubles before taking Rockies reliever Riley Pint deep in the sixth inning to record the fourth grand slam of his career. Suarez matched his season high with five RBI, the third time this season he's reached that mark. The 33-year-old is now up to 18 home runs, 69 RBI and 58 runs scored with a .234 batting average in 118 games.

Sosa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

Sosa had batted first or second in each of the past three games, but he failed to provide a spark near the top of the lineup, going 1-for-12 at the plate. Though the White Sox probably aren't ready to pull the plug on Sosa as a near-everyday player just yet, the 24-year-old will head to the bench in the series finale nonetheless.

Cabrera will start at third base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

With Jazz Chisholm (elbow) hitting the injured list Wednesday, Cabrera will man the hot corner for the second game in a row and it looks like he'll get the first chance to claim the open spot in the Yankees' everyday lineup. Cabrera enters Wednesday's contest with a four-game hitting streak, but he's supplied a modest .245/.292/.375 slash line with eight home runs and three stolen bases across 275 plate appearances on the season. Along with Cabrera, DJ LeMahieu and Oswald Peraza could get looks at third base while Chisholm is out indefinitely.

The Yankees recalled Peraza from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.

Peraza will join the 26-man active roster as a replacement for Jazz Chisholm (elbow), who was placed on the injured list. The 24-year-old Peraza has slashed .244/.351/.382 with eight home runs and 17 steals across 65 contests with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season. He may see some starts at third base while Chisholm is out, but Peraza could struggle to see consistent playing time.

The Yankees placed Chisholm on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left elbow sprain.

He was injured during Monday's game against the White Sox on a slide into home plate. A decision on whether Chisholm will be able to rest and rehab the injury or require season-ending surgery has yet to be made, but even in a best-case scenario, he's going to miss multiple weeks of action. In the meantime, Oswaldo Cabrera is likely to see the bulk of the starts at third base for the Yankees, with DJ LeMahieu and Oswald Peraza also in the mix for playing time at the position.

Tena (thumb) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Tena will sit out again while he recovers from a fingernail issue on his right thumb, which stems from being struck by a groundball in Sunday's loss to the Angels. Ildemaro Vargas will fill in at third base for Tena, who can be viewed as day-to-day heading into the Nationals' four-game series with the Phillies that begins Thursday.

Hernaiz will start at third base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Mets, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Hernaiz is emerging as Athletics manager Mark Kotsay's preferred choice at the hot corner, having started at the position four times in a five-game span. The 23-year-old has posted a poor .561 OPS in August since being reinstated from the 60-day injured list Aug. 4, although that's better than what Abraham Toro (.345 OPS) has provided so far this month.

Toro is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Mets, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

For the fourth time in five games, Darell Hernaiz has drawn the start at third base over Toro, though Toro picked up a start at first base during that stretch. Since coming off the injured list last month, Toro is slashing just .151/.224/.189 over 16 games.

Urias is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Nationals, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Rookie Coby Mayo will garner the start at third base instead of Urias, who had manned the hot corner for the first game of the series Tuesday, picking up a single in one of his four plate appearances.
