Jimenez went 0-for-3 with an RBI in Wednesday's 4-0 win over Cleveland.

Jimenez returned to action after missing two games due to lightheadedness. He delivered a run on a sacrifice fly in the White Sox's four-run ninth inning; it was his second RBI of the season.

Solak started at designated hitter and went 1-for-5 with an RBI and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

The Rangers continue to juggle pieces in an effort to get Solak's bat into games. He's hit safely in three straight games with two RBI and two steals. Solak, who's made starts in left field and at DH, may be running out of options soon. Willie Calhoun, who dealt with a hip injury in camp, played the field for the first time Wednesday and may be ready to assume his starting job in left field. And with Shin-Soo Choo the primary designated hitter, Solak's opportunities may dry up.

Vogelbach is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Angels, Lauren Smith of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Vogelbach will stick on the bench for a fourth straight game with left-hander Andrew Heaney toeing the rubber for the opposition. The left-handed slugger has appeared in three games this season and is 0-for-7 with a 1:3 BB:K. Jose Marmolejos is starting at DH in his place.

Carpenter is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Twins, FOX Sports Midwest reports.

Carpenter had been in the lineup for each of the Cardinals' first four games, all of which came against right-handed pitchers. He'll hit the bench for the first time Wednesday with a southpaw (Rich Hill) on the mound for Minnesota. Rangel Ravelo gets his first start of the season as the designated hitter in his absence.

Choi (shoulder) is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Braves.

He exited Tuesday's game with right shoulder soreness and will need at least another day to get right. Yandy Diaz will start at first base while Joey Wendle occupies the hot corner. Choi could be available off the bench, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Buxton is not starting Wednesday against the Cardinals.

Buxton missed the first three games of the season with a sprained left foot, but he returned to action Tuesday. There's been no indication that he re-injured his foot in that contest, so it's likely that he's simply not being asked to start on back-to-back days immediately after returning to the lineup. Jake Cave starts in center field in his absence.

Jimenez (head) will bat sixth and play left field Wednesday against Cleveland.

Jimenez was never diagnosed with anything worse than light-headedness after crashing into the outfield wall Sunday, though he remained sidelined while in the league's concussion protocol. He'll return Wednesday, pushing Nicky Delmonico back to the bench.

Canha went 1-for-2 with two RBI from a sacrifice fly and fielder's choice groundout and also drew a walk during a loss to the Rockies on Tuesday.

Canha's pair of RBI didn't exactly come from the most notable of hits, but they did account for all but one of the Athletics' runs on the night. The veteran outfielder is now tied with Matt Olson for the team lead with five RBI and has hit safely in all four games he's appeared in this season.

Miller (ankle) traveled with the Cardinals to Minnesota for the current series against the Twins instead of remaining at the team's alternate training site in Springfield, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

The fact Miller is along for the road trip appears to bode well for his impending season debut. The veteran is eligible to come off the injured list as early as Friday, when the Cardinals will begin a three-game set against the Brewers, but president of baseball operations John Mozeliak noted Tuesday the team still wanted to see how Miller felt over the next few days before a decision on potential activation was made.

Buxton went 0-for-3 but scored one run and drove in another in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Cardinals.

The center fielder was making his 2020 debut after missing the first few games with a foot injury, and Buxton got an opportunity right away to prove he was OK. After bringing home Luis Arraez in the second inning with a fielder's choice for the Twins' first run of the game, he went first to third on a Max Kepler single and then trotted home on a sac fly by Josh Donaldson. Staying healthy has never been Buxton's strong suit, but after posting a career-high .827 OPS over 87 games last season, the 26-year-old still has a chance to deliver on the upside his speed and athleticism promise.
