Madrigal is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

Madrigal will take a seat for the fourth consecutive game, with each of those absences coming against right-handed pitchers. At least for the time being, Mike Tauchman appears to have edged ahead of Madrigal for the final spot in the Cubs' regular lineup versus righties.

Manager Aaron Boone said LeMahieu (foot) will travel with the Yankees on their road trip this week to Cleveland and Toronto, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

LeMahieu took batting practice Wednesday and has been incorporating more baseball activities into his rehab regimen, and his ability to join the team on its road trip is a sign that he isn't too far off from starting a rehab assignment. The veteran infielder has been out since late March with a bone bruise and non-displaced fracture in his right foot.

Dunn is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

Dunn will take a seat after he went 1-for-10 with four strikeouts through the first two games of the series in Cincinnati, halting some of the momentum he had built during his hot start to the season. Joey Ortiz will replace Dunn at third base Wednesday, but the latter still looks to have a grasp on a regular role at this point.

The White Sox placed Moncada on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left adductor strain. He's expected to be out for 3-to-6 months.

The strain is evidently of the Grade 2 or 3 variety, given that the White Sox are expecting a long-term stay on the shelf for Moncada. It's yet another injury for a player that has been plagued by chronic back and leg issues over the last two seasons. Lenyn Sosa and Braden Shewmake could be in line for more playing time in the infield while Moncada is sidelined.

Urias is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

The Orioles had included at least one of Urias and Jorge Mateo in their starting infield in all but one of their first 10 games, but both players look set to lose out on playing time following the promotion of top prospect Jackson Holliday from Triple-A Norfolk. With Holliday expected to handle an everyday role at the keystone, Jordan Westburg should see most of the starts at third base, closing off both of Urias' primary avenues to playing time. Urias has just two hits in his first 22 at-bats of the season.

Ramirez went 3-for-5 with one RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the White Sox.

Ramirez has hit safely in all but one game this season, and he's already turned in four multi-hit efforts. The third baseman is yet to attempt a stolen base after swiping 28 bags on 34 tries last season. He's produced a .294/.308/.490 slash line with two home runs, 10 RBI, 12 runs scored, two doubles and a triple through 52 plate appearances.

Rengifo will start at second base and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game against the Rays, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Brandon Drury will slide over to first base Wednesday in place of a resting Nolan Schanuel while Rengifo mans the keystone. After starting just two of the first seven contests, Rengifo has now been in the lineup for four of the last five games, including three straight.

Rendon isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Rays, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

The veteran third baseman appears to be receiving some routine maintenance in the series finale. Miguel Sano will handle the hot corner Wednesday while Rendon takes a seat.

Caminero (quad) took batting practice and fielded grounders prior to Triple-A Durham's game Tuesday, Patrick Kinas of Westwood One Sports reports.

Caminero is eligible for activation from the 7-day injured list now and his return looks to be imminent as long as he can avoid a setback with his left quad. The 20-year-old went 4-for-12 with a home run in his first three games for Durham before getting injured. All three starts for Caminero came at third base.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

With lefty Yusei Kikuchi on the bump for Toronto, Rojas and fellow left-handed hitter Dominic Canzone will retreat to the bench. Luis Urias will fill in for Rojas at third base, while Dylan Moore replaces Canzone in left field.
