Gunnar Henderson SS | BAL
Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Absent from Wednesday's lineup
Henderson isn't starting Wednesday against the Red Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Henderson has gone just 1-for-19 with a homer, two runs, two RBI, five walks and nine strikeouts over his last six games, and he'll get a day off Wednesday. Tyler Nevin is starting at the hot corner and batting sixth.

Ramon Urias 3B | STL
Orioles' Ramon Urias: Shut down with knee injury
The Orioles placed Urias on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right knee sprain.
Urias was diagnosed with the injury after he went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and a triple before exiting Tuesday's 13-9 loss to the Red Sox. Though his injury isn't believed to anything significant, his move to the IL will officially spell an end to his 2022 campaign, barring the Orioles overcoming long odds to clinch a wild-card berth. In his 445 plate appearances this season, the 28-year-old infielder contributed 16 home runs, 51 RBI, 50 runs and one stolen base to go with a .248/.305/.414 slash line.

Emmanuel Rivera 3B | BAL
Diamondbacks' Emmanuel Rivera: Returns to bench role
Rivera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Houston.
After making starts in four consecutive games last week, Rivera will now find himself on the bench for the fourth straight contest. He looks set to finish the season as a short-side platoon player for the Diamondbacks.

Rafael Devers 1B | SF
Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Hot start to series
Devers went 2-for-4 with a walk and two RBI in Tuesday's 13-9 win over the Orioles.
After pounding out a double and a pair of base hits in Monday's 14-8 loss, Devers continued to torture Baltimore pitching in the second game of the series with another two singles. Devers, who is hitting .366 over his last 10 games, will start at third base and bat second in Wednesday's game, according to Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican.

Eugenio Suarez 3B | CIN
Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: Returns in DH role Tuesday
Suarez (finger), activated from the injured list earlier in the day, went 0-for-3 with a walk while serving as the designated hitter in a loss to the Rangers on Tuesday.
The Associated Press reports Suarez took grounders in the infield prior to the game to test out his finger, and the decision was apparently made at that point for him to hold off on playing defense for at least Tuesday's game. Suarez was at least able to return from his IL stint in minimum time, and his bat figures to be key in the Mariners trying to snap their untimely late-season funk and lock down an AL wild-card spot.

Taylor Walls SS | TB
Rays' Taylor Walls: Tallies 10th stolen base
Walls went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored Tuesday against the Guardians.
Walls reached base on a one-out single in the second inning and stole second base. He has 10 steals on the season, three of which have come since Sept. 7. Walls has struggled otherwise, maintaining just a .173/.264/.281 line with seven home runs and 51 runs scored across 445 plate appearances on the campaign. Even so, Walls has started in both of the Rays' past two games against right-handed pitchers and appears to have at least temporarily emerged as the team's preferred option at second base ahead of Jonathan Aranda.

Rodolfo Castro 2B | PHI
Pirates' Rodolfo Castro: Riding pine Wednesday
Castro isn't starting Wednesday against the Reds.
Castro went 0-for-3 with a walk and three strikeouts Tuesday and will head to the bench for the second time in the last three games. Kevin Newman is taking over at the keystone and batting seventh.

Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE
Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Triples in three-hit effort
Ramirez went 3-for-6 with a triple and two RBI in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Rays.
Ramirez went just 1-for-12 against the Rangers last weekend, but he bounced back Tuesday with his first multi-hit effort in seven games. The triple was his first extra-base hit since Sept. 17. The third baseman has cooled ever so slightly recently, but he still owns a .277/.354/.515 slash line with 28 home runs, 18 stolen bases, 119 RBI, 86 runs scored, 42 doubles and five triples through 150 games this year.

Josh Jung 3B | TEX
Rangers' Josh Jung: Powers offense in win
Jung went 3-for-4 with two home runs, two runs and five RBI in a 5-0 win against the Mariners on Tuesday.
Jung was responsible for all five Texas runs Tuesday, connecting on a solo home run in the second inning, an RBI single in the sixth and a three-run homer in the eighth to provide valuable insurance. The 24-year-old has recorded multiple hits in each of his last two contests, batting 5-for-8 with a double and two long balls to up his season line to .227/.250/.515 across 16 games. His slugging is propped up by five of his 15 leaving the yard.

J.D. Davis 1B | LAA
Giants' J.D. Davis: Tallies three more hits
Davis went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in a 5-2 win against the Rockies on Tuesday.
Davis singled in the first inning, connected on a solo home run off Colorado starter German Marquez in the fourth and singled again in the ninth. The 29-year-old continued a strong September with multiple hits for the second straight game as he's 7-for-9 with a pair of homers and doubles apiece over his last two contests.
