The Angels selected Porter's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.

The 30-year-old backstop will join the big club to replace Sebastian Rivero, who landed on the injured list Wednesday with a hamate fracture. Porter has slashed .241/.292/.362 with 10 RBI and nine runs in 65 plate appearances at Triple-A this season, though he hasn't played since signing a minor-league deal with the Angels last week. He isn't likely to see much playing time with the big club either behind regular starter Logan O'Hoppe.

Antonacci is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Derek Hill will receive the starting nod in left field over the left-handed-hitting Antonacci, who will hit the bench while southpaw Chris Sale toes the rubber for Atlanta. Since being called up from Triple-A Charlotte on April 15, Antonacci has gone just 3-for-33 with a 1:10 BB:K in 40 plate appearances versus lefties.

Benintendi is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

With a tough lefty (Chris Sale) on the bump for Atlanta, the left-handed-hitting Benintendi will retreat to the bench. Randal Grichuk will enter the lineup as Benintendi's replacement at designated hitter.

Romo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Edgar Quero will handle catching duties Wednesday while Romo receives a breather. Romo had started each of the last three games behind the dish, going 0-for-9 with a walk and an RBI.

The Angels placed Rivero on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left hamate fracture.

Rivero injured himself while fouling off a pitch in Tuesday's game, forcing him to make an early exit. He's scheduled to undergo surgery to repair the fracture in the near future and is expected to miss roughly four weeks, per Jack Janes of TheSportingTribune.com. Logan Porter was selected from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move and will act as the Halos' backup catcher while Rivero and Travis d'Arnaud (foot) are both on the shelf.

Messick (6-3) took the loss Wednesday as the Guardians fell 8-4 to the Yankees, giving up five runs (four earned) on five hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out four.

While the 25-year-old southpaw was able to keep the ball in the yard, triples by Jazz Chisholm in the second inning and Trent Grisham in the sixth played big roles in a pair of three-run frames for New York. It was the first time since May 3 that Messick was tagged for more than three runs in a start, but after two stellar months to begin the season, he's kicked off June by going 0-2 in two outings with a 5.56 ERA and 8:4 K:BB in 11.1 innings. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, which lines up to come on the road next week in Milwaukee.

Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a walk, a triple, two runs scored, three RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Guardians.

The 28-year-old infielder ripped a two-run triple in the second inning, kicking off a big day for the Yankees' offense despite zero home runs for the team. The three-bagger was Chisholm's 10th extra-base hit in his last 21 games (three doubles, two triples and five homers), a stretch in which he's batting .288 (23-for-80) with six steals, 15 RBI and 17 runs.

Rodon (2-2) picked up the win Wednesday, giving up three runs on four hits and three walks over six innings in an 8-4 victory over the Guardians. He struck out seven.

The veteran left-hander delivered his third straight quality start on 96 pitches (58 strikes) as he gets rolling following his belated season debut May 10. Over those last three outings, Rodon has gone 2-0 with a 2.50 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB in 18 innings. He'll look to stay locked in for his next trip to the mound, which is scheduled to come at home next week against his former club, the White Sox.

The Blue Jays designated Seabold for assignment Wednesday.

Following his acquisition from the Tigers on May 27, Seabold made five appearances out of the Toronto bullpen and gave up three earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out one batter in 3.1 innings. The 30-year-old right-hander will give up his spot on the roster to Max Scherzer (ankle/forearm), who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday versus the Phillies.

Cleavinger gave up one run on one hit and one walk in the ninth inning Wednesday to record his second save of the season in a 7-5 win over the Red Sox. He struck out one.

A solo shot by Caleb Durbin accounted for the damage off Cleavinger, who got the call in a save situation with Bryan Baker having pitched the prior two days. The long ball was only the second Cleavinger has served up this season, and through 15.1 innings he's produced a 4.70 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 21:9 K:BB in 15.1 innings while recording one win and eight holds over 17 appearances, in addition to his two saves.
