Bichette went 3-for-5 with two runs scored in Tuesday's rout of the Rays.

The Blue Jays nearly set franchise records with a 20-run, 27-hit outburst, and Bichette carved out his share of the production. It's the third time in the last six games the shortstop has rapped out three hits, and since the calendar flipped to May he's slashing .333/.375/.489 with three homers, a steal, 12 runs and 12 RBI in 21 contests.

Duran is absent from the lineup Wednesday against the Pirates as he nurses rib cage soreness, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Duran was replaced by Brad Miller at the plate in the ninth inning of Tuesday's 6-1 win, and now an explanation behind Duran's departure is known. The 23-year-old believes he's OK, so he can be considered day-to-day heading into the Rangers' series with Baltimore that begins Friday.

Correa (heel) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

Correa's move to the bench for the day game after a night game comes as little surprise after an MRI administered on his bruised left heel Tuesday revealed inflammation. The Twins are treating Correa as day-to-day for the time being, presumably with the hope that he'll be fit to return to the lineup at some point during the weekend series with Toronto following a team off day Thursday. Kyle Farmer will pick up another start at shortstop Wednesday while Correa sits for a second consecutive day.

Marcano is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest with the Rangers.

Marcano will head to the bench as the Pirates take on southpaw Martin Perez on Wednesday. Chris Owings with draw the start at shortstop and bat ninth in the series finale with Texas.

Duran is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus Pittsburgh, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

After Duran was removed for a pinch hitter in the top of the ninth inning Tuesday, the 23-year-old will be on a bench for the series finale. It's unclear whether his health played a factor in his removal Tuesday and his subsequent absence from the lineup one day later, though more information should be provided Wednesday. Corey Seager will draw the start at designated hitter while Josh Smith starts at shortstop and bats eighth against the Pirates.

Perdomo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Philadelphia.

The switch-hitting Perdomo has begun to wriggle his way out of his platoon at shortstop with the righty-hitting Nick Ahmed, as the former has started in each of the past six games, including Tuesday, when the Phillies brought southpaw Matt Strahm to the hill. Though Perdomo will give way to Ahmed with lefty Ranger Suarez on the bump for Philadelphia on Wednesday, Ahmed's chances to play regularly against southpaws could soon come to an end while he's maintaining a .204/.220/.245 slash line (22 wRC+) over 50 plate appearances in those matchups for the season. Perdomo, meanwhile, owns a 128 wRC+ and 158 wrC+ versus lefties and righties, respectively, and brings more speed to the table than Ahmed.

Chang (wrist) could begin a rehab assignment this weekend.

The Red Sox were hopeful Chang would kick off a rehab stint Wednesday, but the infielder experienced soreness after swinging the bat Monday.

DeJong went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Reds.

DeJong didn't contribute an RBI after logging four of them in each of the last two games, but he still had a solid effort. The shortstop's gone 7-for-23 (.304) over his last seven contests, and he's batting .291 with a .987 OPS, eight home runs, three steals, 18 RBI and 21 runs scored through 25 games overall.

Witt went 2-for-4 with one run scored and one steal in Tuesday's win over the Tigers.

Witt broke out of a mini-slump Tuesday, tallying a pair of singles after going 1-of-15 (.067) in his last four games. He showcased his elite speed, reaching on a bunt to lead off the fifth then stealing second before being driven in by Edward Olivares. After stealing 30 bases in 2022 (150 games), Witt has swiped 14 through 49 games while slashing .227/.266/.404.

Crawford went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Athletics.

Crawford tied the game at 2-2 with his fifth-inning blast. The shortstop has gone 6-for-20 (.300) with three RBI over his last five contests. He's slashing .245/.367/.351 with two homers, 19 RBI, 23 runs scored, a stolen base and 10 doubles through 46 games this season. He's done a decent job atop the order since taking over the leadoff spot from Julio Rodriguez two weeks ago.
