Kirk isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Rays.

Kirk is getting a day off after he hit .333 with two doubles, six RBI, four runs, three walks and five strikeouts over the last eight games. Vladimir Guerrero will rest his legs as the designated hitter during Wednesday's matchup.

Mejia isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Blue Jays, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Mejia has alternated starts behind the dish recently and will retreat to the bench after he went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in Tuesday's nightcap. Christian Bethancourt is starting at catcher and batting seventh.

Vazquez will start at catcher and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

With top backstop Martin Maldonado resting for the day game after a night game, Vazquez will draw just his fifth start of September. The 32-year-old catcher is hitting .246 with no extra-base hits in 22 games since being acquired from the Red Sox on Aug. 1.

Grandal is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Grandal is getting a breather for the day game after catching each of the White Sox's last three contests. Seby Zavala will start behind the plate, forming a battery with Dylan Cease.

Jeffers (thumb) has started to play rehab games in instructional league, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

It sounds like he could return in the next week or so, but there's no definitive timetable for his activation from the injured list. It's also possible he could be shut down with any setback with the Twins falling far out of playoff contention. Jeffers has been on the 10-day IL since undergoing surgery to repair an avulsion fracture of his right thumb July 20.

Maldonado isn't starting Wednesday against the Tigers, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Maldonado is on the bench for the second time in the last four games after he went 1-for-7 with a run and two strikeouts over the last two matchups. Christian Vazquez is starting behind the plate and batting seventh.

Huff went 1-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's 8-7 win over the Athletics.

Huff is in a full-on job share with the switch-hitting Jonah Heim behind the plate, though it isn't based on the handedness of the opposing starter. Huff's started five of the last eight games since being called up. He has just three hits over 18 at-bats, but Heim has been fighting it at the plate since mid-August.

McGuire went 2-for-3 with a solo homer in Tuesday's extra-inning loss to the Yankees.

The backup catcher had a big day at the plate Tuesday, launching his first home run of the season, a shot to right against Yankees ace Gerrit Cole. McGuire also singled in the seventh inning, earning him his first multi-hit game since Aug. 25. He is slashing .269/.306/.347 through 246 plate appearances this season.

Rutschman went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's win over Washington.

Rutchsman broke out of a mini slump with two hits, as he was just 2-for-15 in his previous five games entering Tuesday. The rookie has earned regular playing time for Baltimore since being called up in May and has made the most of it, slashing .254/.361/.466 through 382 plate appearances and positioning himself in the discussion for AL Rookie of the Year. He has played great defense as well.

Pinto was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville ahead of Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader in Toronto, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Pinto was sent down in early August but will rejoin the major-league club Tuesday. He has a .548 OPS in 22 games this year and is unlikely to see much playing time with Francisco Mejia and Christian Bethancourt healthy.
