Bregman (elbow) went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Red Sox.

After missing Houston's previous five games with a swollen elbow, Bregman rejoined the lineup Wednesday at designated hitter and made his presence felt right away, leading off the bottom of the first inning with a solo shot off Cooper Criswell. According to Chandler Rome of The Athletic, Bregman said that his right elbow will be a "fluid situation" for the rest of the season, and though he resumed throwing Wednesday, he could continue to see regular starts at DH rather than third base to help manage the issue. Overall, Bregman is slashing .261/.318/.450 with 20 home runs, 60 RBI, 66 runs and three stolen bases across 513 plate appearances on the season.

Chisholm (elbow) took batting practice on the field ahead of Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

Wednesday marks the first time Chisholm has swung a bat since a sprained left elbow sent him to the injured list last week. Manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that it would be "ambitious" for the 26-year-old could come off the injured list when first eligible Saturday, but Chisholm at least seems to be trending in the right direction.

Cabrera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

Cabrera has now given way to Oswald Peraza at third base in three consecutive matchups, all against left-handed pitchers. The Yankees could still view Cabrera as their preferred option at the hot corner versus right-handed pitching, at least while Jazz Chisholm (elbow) remains on the injured list.

Peraza will start at third base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game agains the Guardians.

Peraza has now started in three consecutive games, but since all have come against left-handed pitching, it's unclear if he'll be given a look as the Yankees' primary third baseman while Jazz Chisholm (elbow) is on the injured list. Oswaldo Cabrera could still be the Yankees' preferred option at the position versus right-handed pitching.

Wade will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Twins, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Wade is in the lineup for a third straight game, as the Padres appear to have settled on him as their primary replacement at shortstop for Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Though he is a competent defender in the middle infield, Wade shouldn't be expected to provide much fantasy value other than the occasional stolen base while he's getting regular playing time. He's batting .231 with no home runs in 138 plate appearances with the Padres in 2024 and is a lifetime .219/.295/.291 hitter over parts of eight seasons in the big leagues.

LeMahieu is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

The Guardians are sending left-hander Joey Cantillo to the hill, but it will be left-handed-hitting Ben Rice occupying first base for the Yankees. LeMahieu had started nine of the previous 12 contests at first base but is slashing a paltry .211/.244/.237 over that span.

The Orioles claimed Rivera off waivers from the Marlins on Wednesday.

Rivera is out of options, so he will report to the major-league club. Once that happens, the Orioles will need to make a corresponding move to their 26-man roster. Rivera slashed only just .214/.294/.269 with one home run in 96 games with the Marlins, but he grades out well defensively at third base, where he could get some reps while the Orioles try to withstand the loss of Jordan Westburg (hand).

Sosa will start at third base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Giants.

The White Sox will keep Sosa in the lineup for a fifth straight game, with two of his starts coming against right-handed pitching during that stretch. Notably, the struggling Miguel Vargas has been out of the lineup versus righties on both occasions, so Sosa might have at least temporarily unseated him as the White Sox's preferred option at the hot corner. Sosa has produced a lowly .309 OPS since being recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on July 30, but Vargas has gone hitless in his last four starts and has performed almost equally poorly (.385 OPS) since making his White Sox debut that same date.

Vargas is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Francisco.

Vargas started in both of the first two games of the series but will begin Wednesday's matinee on the bench. The beginning of the 24-year-old's tenure with the White Sox couldn't be going much worse, as he's gone just 5-for-54 (.093 average) at the plate, which includes four straight hitless contests. Lenyn Sosa will occupy third base Wednesday.

Norby went 2-for-4 with two doubles in Tuesday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

Making his second start for the Marlins, Norby collected his first extra-base hits with his new club. The 24-year-old batted fifth while playing third base, and with Otto Lopez getting a long look at second base, the hot corner figures to be Norby's main home for the rest of the season. Before the trade that sent him south from Baltimore, he had gone just 6-for-32 (.188) with the O's this season but compiled a .300/.392/.522 slash line in 80 games at Triple-A Norfolk.
