DeLauter (wrist) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the White Sox.

DeLauter experienced a setback with his right wrist injury during Monday's game, and he will now sit out a second straight contest. The Guardians are idle Thursday, but with the nature of the injury, it's not a given DeLauter is ready to play by Friday versus the Athletics.

The White Sox optioned Quero to Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.

He's clearing off the active roster in order to make space for the return of Tommy Pham (calf) from the injured list. Quero went hitless in five plate appearances during his most recent stint in the majors.

The White Sox activated Thorpe (elbow) from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.

Coming back from Tommy John surgery, Thorpe has pitched well in 10 rehab starts, posting a 2.85 ERA and 38:13 K:BB over 41 innings. However, rather than throw him into a playoff race, the White Sox will keep Thorpe at Charlotte for the time being.

The White Sox activated Pham (calf) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Pham required just a minimum 10-day stay on the IL with a left calf strain. He will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup Wednesday in the series finale in Cleveland.

Caminero went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the A's.

For the second time in five days, Caminero walked it off for the Rays, this time by getting hold of a 100.4-mph fastball from Elvis Alvarado and driving it the other way to clear the fence in the right-field corner. Caminero is up to 41 homers on the season, first in the American League and third in the majors behind the Phillies' Kyle Schwarber (45) and the Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong (42), and the 23-year-old needs four more RBI to reach 100 for the second straight year.

Baker (3-2) picked up the win Tuesday, working a perfect ninth inning without a strikeout in a 2-1 victory over the A's.

With the game tied 1-1 and a save situation off the table at home, Baker was called in for the top of the ninth and needed just seven pitches (three strikes) to set down the 2-3-4 hitters for the A's. The right-hander then got rewarded when Junior Caminero walked it off with a solo shot. Baker has been scored upon in only one of his last nine appearances, picking up two wins and three saves during that stretch with a 1.08 ERA and 0.96 WHIP, but a lackluster 6:5 K:BB.

Jax didn't factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing two hits over five scoreless innings in a 2-1 win over the A's. He struck out seven without walking a batter.

The right-hander was dominant over 67 pitches (46 strikes), but an early hook from manager Kevin Cash nearly cost the Rays when Ty Johnson gave up the tying run in the top of the sixth inning. Jax has been held under 70 pitches in all three of his September starts following a month-long absence due to elbow discomfort, but the strict workload limit appears to be working, as he's given up just one run in 10 innings over his last two trips to the mound with a 9:1 K:BB. Jax will look to stay stingy in his next outing, which lines up to come at home this weekend against the Red Sox.

Perkins didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Rays, allowing one unearned run on four hits and one walk over 6.2 innings. He struck out eight.

In his longest and best performance of the season, Perkins fired 53 of 83 pitches for strikes, and the only run to cross the plate against him came as the result of a passed ball by Jonah Heim, which let Chandler Simpson scamper home from third base. Perkins has had a rough season overall, but the 26-year-old right-hander is providing some optimism for 2027 -- over his last six outings, he's produced a 2.86 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 33:16 K:BB through 28.1 innings. He's scheduled to make his next start on the road this weekend in Cleveland.

Ober (7-6) took the loss Tuesday against the Yankees after allowing three runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out three over 5.1 innings.

Ober fell behind almost immediately when Cody Bellinger launched a two-run homer in the top of the first, and the Yankees would never relinquish that lead. The right-hander allowed another run on George Lombard's RBI single in the third but kept New York from breaking the game open and departed with one out in the sixth. This outing ended a run of four straight starts in which he allowed two earned runs or fewer.

Fried (5-4) earned the win Tuesday against the Twins after allowing one run on six hits while striking out six over seven innings. He did not issue a walk.

Fried delivered his longest outing since April 22, though he needed only 88 pitches (58 strikes) to complete seven frames. Minnesota's lone run came on Emmanuel Rodriguez's RBI single in the second, and Fried immediately ended the threat by picking Rodriguez off first. Fried didn't issue a walk for the first time since April 11 and retired 15 of the final 18 hitters he faced. The victory was Fried's first since April 27, and he lowered his ERA to an impressive 2.63 with this outing. Fried is scheduled to make his next start at home against the Rays next week.
