The White Sox are expected to call up Meidroth from Triple-A Charlotte, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Acquired from the Red Sox over the offseason in the Garrett Crochet trade, Meidroth earned the promotion by slashing .267/.450/.600 with three home runs, two stolen bases and a 5:8 K:BB over his first nine contests with Charlotte. He has played both second base and shortstop with Charlotte, but each of his last four starts there have come at shortstop, and that's likely the position where the White Sox intend to use him. The White Sox will need to make space on their 40-man roster in order to add Meidroth.

Walls is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.

Walls will get a breather for the day game after he started in each of the Rays' last three contests. Jose Caballero will pick up the start at shortstop in place of Walls, who has produced a .143/.273/.143 slash line with three stolen bases, two runs and one RBI over 33 plate appearances.

Pena went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs scored, a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 7-6 loss to Seattle.

Pena doubled on a line drive to lead off the ninth frame, and he wound up coming around to score on a wild pitch after stealing third base. The 27-year-old shortstop is off to a slow start at the plate, slashing .186/.286/.349 with two solo homers over 49 plate appearances, but he does have six runs scored, four walks and four thefts through 12 contests.

Seager went 2-for-5 with a pair of solo home runs in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Cubs.

Seager opened the scoring with a first-inning homer off Shota Imanaga before adding a second long ball off Nate Pearson in the seventh, extending the Rangers' lead to 6-1. Seager looks to be heating up at the plate -- he now has back-to-back two-hit games after going 5-for-31 (.161) with just one homer in his first nine contests this year.

Baldwin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

Baldwin will begin Wednesday's game on the bench after he started in each of the last six games while playing four different positions (second base, shortstop, left field and right field). The White Sox haven't settled on a permanent spot for Baldwin, but the switch-hitting utility player should continue to hold down a near-everyday role.

The White Sox recalled Jones from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.

Jones was claimed off waivers just before Opening Day and is now up in the majors despite hitting just .138/.286/.276 with a 40 percent strikeout rate at Charlotte. He could see some action in left field while Andrew Benintendi (adductor) is on the injured list.

Rocchio is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the White Sox.

Rocchio will get a routine day off after starting the previous four contests. Gabriel Arias will start at shortstop and Daniel Schneemann will handle second base for the Guardians.

The Mariners recalled Rivas from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

Rivas was with the big club briefly earlier this month but didn't see any action. He might be used some at second base while Ryan Bliss (biceps) is on the shelf.

The Rangers optioned Ornelas to Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Ornelas was recalled in late March but played sparingly, making just one start. Ezequiel Duran and Dustin Harris have joined the big club as Ornelas goes down and Wyatt Langford (oblique) lands on the injured list.

McGonigle's placement on High-A West Michigan's 7-day injured list Tuesday was the result of a right ankle sprain, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

McGonigle suffered the injury while running the bases in his season debut Friday, when he went 2-for-5 with two doubles and four RBI. He's taking part in daily rehab for the ankle injury but is without a clear timeline to return to action.
