Larnach isn't in the Twins' lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers.

The lefty-hitting Larnach will get a breather Thursday while southpaw Cody Bradford starts on the bump for Texas. Manuel Margot, Austin Martin and Max Kepler will make up the Twins' outfield while Larnach sits.

Jimenez is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Red Sox.

Jimenez made four straight starts from Aug. 3-7 but has not started consecutive games over the past week. Each of his last two starts have been against left-handers, as he now looks to be pegged for a short-side platoon at designated hitter with Ryan O'Hearn.

The Angels designated Calhoun for assignment Thursday, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

Calhoun has been the Angels' primary designated hitter and cleanup man against right-handed pitching since he was added to the roster back in early May. However, after slashing just .245/.315/.380 over 254 plate appearances, the Halos have decided to remove him from the 26-man and 40-man rosters. Calhoun seems likely to clear waivers. Manager Ron Washington could opt to filter through multiple players at DH down the stretch.

The Orioles recalled Soto from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday.

Soto was acquired from the Reds at the trade deadline but has yet to see any action with the Orioles. He'll provide more defensive versatility than the player he will replace on the roster in Coby Mayo, who was optioned to Triple-A.

Rooker (personal) is expected to return from the paternity list Saturday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

He'll miss a second straight game Thursday against the Mets following the birth of his new child but Rooker looks like he'll be ready to go coming out of the Athletics' off day Friday for the start of a two-game set versus the Giants. Rooker had put up three straight multi-hit games before going on the paternity list and has a .910 OPS over 38 at-bats in August.

Malloy will start in left field and bat leadoff in Thursday's game against the Mariners.

Malloy had a pinch-hit single in the first game of the series and reached base three times in the second contest after being a late addition to the lineup. That's earned him not only another start in the series finale, but also his first-ever look at the leadoff spot.

Malloy is starting in left field and batting seventh Wednesday against the Tigers.

The 24-year-old was initally absent from the starting nine Wednesday, but he'll end up receiving a start since Javier Baez (undisclosed) was scratched. Malloy has a .642 OPS through 10 games in August, and he could see a diminished role going forward with Kerry Carpenter back from the injured list.

Stanton is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Stanton will get a chance to rest Wednesday after going 1-for-8 with three strikeouts through the first two games of the series. His absence open up the designated-hitter spot for Aaron Judge while allowing Trent Grisham to start in center field.

Fry is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Fry had started each of the last five games, going 3-for-17 with a home run. While he's in the midst of a lull at the plate to begin August, Fry will hit the bench Wednesday to make room for a hotter bat in Jhonkensy Noel, who will draw a third consecutive start after slugging three home runs between the first two contests versus the Cubs.

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

Southpaw DJ Herz will toe the slab for the Nationals, so the left-handed-hitting O'Hearn will grab a seat. Austin Slater will occupy left field and Eloy Jimenez will start at designated hitter for the Orioles.
