Wendle is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Astros.

Wendle looks to be getting a routine day off for the series finale. With Wendle beginning Wednesday's game on the bench, Jon Berti will draw the start at shortstop.

Crawford is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rays, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The Rays are starting a right-hander (Aaron Civale), but the lefty-hitting Crawford will get a breather for the day game after a night game while he remains in the midst of a 1-for-25 slide at the dish. Johan Camargo will occupy shortstop Wednesday while Crawford sits.

Perdomo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

Though he's a switch hitter, Perdomo often sits against left-handed pitchers, so it comes as little surprise that he'll head to the bench Wednesday while southpaw Austin Gomber takes the hill for Colorado. Nick Ahmed will step in for Perdomo at shortstop and bat seventh.

Winn (lower body) has gone 3-for-11 over three games since returning to Triple-A Memphis' lineup.

Winn was managing a mild glute strain over the last week, but he's been just fine since getting back into action after a few days off. The top prospect is slashing .284/.356/.467 with 17 home runs, 17 stolen bases, 60 RBI, 95 runs scored, 15 doubles and seven triples through 103 Triple-A games this year. It's expected he'll be called up to the majors some time before the end of the season.

Edman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Athletics.

Edman has gone 10-for-24 (.417) with four homers and two doubles during his six-game hitting streak. It's an impressive show of power from a player not known for his slugging. He's up to 11 homers, 37 RBI, 54 runs scored, 15 stolen bases and a .251/.314/.433 slash line through 97 contests. Edman is likely to continue starting at shortstop rather than shifting back to the outfield with Dylan Carlson (oblique) landing on the injured list, though that could change if or when the Cardinals decide to call up Masyn Winn from Triple-A Memphis.

Correa's absence from the lineup Wednesday against the Tigers is a result of him feeling sore after he legged out an infield single in the sixth inning of Tuesday's 5-3 win, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Correa didn't appear to be in too much pain after he reached first on the base hit, as he was able to stay in the game and play the full nine innings. The Twins haven't provided much clarity on the source of Correa's soreness, but the injury could be related to his foot, given that he's been playing through plantar fasciitis for multiple months. Regardless, Correa isn't believed to be dealing with anything significant, and the Twins believe that after a maintenance day Wednesday followed by a team off day Thursday, the 28-year-old will be good to go for Friday's series opener versus the Pirates.

Correa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

The Twins haven't indicated that Correa is nursing an injury, but he'll remain on the bench for the second time in three games after he previously received a day off in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Phillies. Correa returned to the lineup for Tuesday's 5-3 win over Detroit and went 1-for-3 with a run scored, but he'll give way to Kyle Farmer at shortstop in the day game after a night game.

Tena was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

Tena went 2-for-8 at the plate during his brief first stint in the majors. He's being sent out to make room for Tyler Freeman's (shoulder) return from the 10-day injured list.

Anderson's (neck) appeal for his six-game suspension is scheduled to be heard Thursday, Jim Bowden of The Athletic reports.

Unless Anderson drops his appeal or agrees to a settlement Wednesday, he'll be eligible to play in the White Sox's series finale with the Cubs, but he appears set to miss time when the South Siders open their three-game series in Colorado on Friday. Anderson has already missed Chicago's last two games, with his first absence being for rest purposes and the second one being the result of a stiff neck. For whatever length of time Anderson misses due to the injury or suspension, Elvis Andrus is expected to step in as Chicago's primary shortstop.

Witt went 1-for-4 with a grand slam and an additional run scored in Tuesday's loss to Seattle.

Witt played a big role in the Royals' seven-run comeback, taking Emerson Hancock yard for a grand slam in the fifth inning to plate Matt Beaty, Kyle Isbel and Maikel Garcia. The long ball was Witt's 23rd of the season and his third in the last four games. He's now hit safely in 15 of his last 16 appearances, a stretch in which he's batting .441 with seven homers, 25 RBI, 15 runs scored and six steals.
