  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Sitting down Wednesday

    Baez isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

    Baez will take a seat Wednesday after going 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in Tuesday's loss. While he rests, Riley Greene, Wenceel Perez and Kerry Carpenter will start across the outfield for Detroit.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Resting up Wednesday

    Wilson isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Detroit.

    Wilson has gone 6-for-20 with a pair of homers, eight RBI and four runs scored in five games since his return from the injured list. The A's will give him a chance to rest Wednesday while Darell Hernaiz moves to shortstop, giving Zack Gelof a start at the keystone.

  • White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Still nursing side soreness

    White Sox general manager Chris Getz said that Montgomery is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Royals due to continued soreness in his left side, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    Montgomery missed one game last week with the same injury. He returned to action last Wednesday and has gone 6-for-20 with four home runs and one double in his five starts since then, but Montgomery apparently still hasn't totally moved past the injury. Getz noted that imaging on Montgomery's side came back negative, so consider the rookie infielder day-to-day heading into Thursday's series opener versus the Yankees.

  • Jared Triolo 3B | PIT

    Pirates' Jared Triolo: Settling into leadoff spot

    Triolo will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

    Triolo will occupy the leadoff spot for a second straight matchup versus a right-handed pitcher, and he's also hit leadoff each of the last two times the Pirates have gone up against a lefty. The infielder has earned a move up in the batting order by tallying five straight multi-hit games and slashing .338/.420/.506 in August.

  • White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Not in Wednesday's lineup

    Montgomery is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Royals.

    Montgomery extended his streak of games with a home run to four during Tuesday's 5-4 loss, but the left-handed hitter is out of the lineup a day later, even with the Royals sending righty Ryan Bergert to the bump. The rookie infielder missed a game last week due to side soreness, so it's possible he could be less than 100 percent. Chase Meidroth will play shortstop and Lenyn Sosa will be at second base for the White Sox in the series finale.

  • Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL

    Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: Progressing well

    Kim (back) fielded grounders Wednesday, and Rays manager Kevin Cash said the team is "happy with the progression" the infielder has made, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    Kim has been receiving treatment for lower-back inflammation and appears to be trending in the right direction. He's eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list Saturday, and the infielder may be ready to return by then. Carson Williams is off to a hot start while filling in for Kim at shortstop, but he could be pushed aside soon if the Rays elect to reinstall Kim as their primary option at the position.

  • Tanner Schobel SS | MIN

    Twins' Tanner Schobel: Returns to Triple-A lineup

    Schobel (forearm) started at third base and went 1-for-4 on Tuesday in Triple-A St. Paul's 5-4 win over Toledo after being reinstated from the 60-day injured list Monday.

    Schobel had been on the shelf since June 15 due to a right forearm fracture before being cleared to rejoin the Triple-A club this week after completing a three-game rehab assignment with Single-A Fort Myers. Over 12 games with St. Paul on the season, Schobel is hitting .231/.348/.410 with one home run.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Goes deep again Tuesday

    Neto went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in a loss to Texas on Tuesday.

    Neto had two of the Angels' three extra-base hits in the defeat -- a double to lead off the game and a solo blast to left-center field in the ninth inning. It was the second straight game with a long ball for the young shortstop, and Neto has gone deep eight times over 23 games in August. He's added 17 RBI, 10 runs, two stolen bases and a .247/.320/.584 slash line so far this month.

  • Nick Allen SS | HOU

    Braves' Nick Allen: Receiving afternoon off

    Allen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

    Vidal Brujan will cover shortstop for the matinee contest while Allen rests after starting in each of Atlanta's last three games. Allen is a dependable defender at shortstop, but he's gone 0-for-16 at the plate over his last seven starts to bring his season-long batting line down to .220/.285/.249 across 394 plate appearances.

  • Ryan Ritter SS | COL

    Rockies' Ryan Ritter: Scores twice

    Ritter went 0-for-2 with two runs scored Tuesday against the Astros.

    Ritter has started 10 of Colorado's last 11 games since returning from the injured list. Seven of those games have come on the road, and he's managed to go 10-for-34 with two doubles, a triple, five RBI and six runs scored.
