  • White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Resting Wednesday

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

    Benintendi will get a breather for the matinee contest after he had started in each of the White Sox's last five games. Will Robertson will spell Benintendi in left field and will bat seventh.

  • Michael Taylor CF | CHW

    White Sox's Michael Taylor: Filling in for Baldwin

    Taylor will start in center field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

    Brooks Baldwin will be getting the afternoon off after he returned to the lineup Tuesday following a three-game absence due to a hip injury, so Taylor will get the call in center in the series finale. Taylor has played sparingly in the first half of September, making six starts while going 6-for-27 (.222 average) at the dish.

  • Brooks Baldwin SS | CHW

    White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Idle Wednesday

    Baldwin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

    Baldwin had missed three straight starts due to a hip injury but returned to the lineup for Tuesday's 8-7 loss, occupying center field while going hitless in three at-bats. He doesn't appear to be dealing with a setback coming out of Tuesday's contest, but Baldwin will rest Wednesday while the White Sox wrap up their series with Baltimore with a day game.

  • Kyle Teel C | CHW

    White Sox's Kyle Teel: Retreating to bench Wednesday

    Teel is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

    Teel will be getting a routine breather for the matinee contest, paving the way for Edgar Quero to start at catcher. The White Sox had included Teel in each of their last three lineups, with the rookie going 3-for-13 with a home run and two RBI over that stretch.

  • Colton Cowser RF | BAL

    Orioles' Colton Cowser: Receiving Wednesday off

    Cowser is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

    The left-handed-hitting Cowser will take a seat for Wednesday's matinee while the White Sox send southpaw Martin Perez to the bump. Jorge Mateo will check in for Cowser in center field and will bat ninth.

  • Orioles' Samuel Basallo: Taking seat Wednesday

    Basallo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

    With the Orioles closing out their series in Chicago with a day game after a night game and with a lefty (Martin Perez) on the hill for the White Sox, the left-handed-hitting Basallo will get a breather. Alex Jackson will step in behind the plate in place of Basallo, who is batting .186 with two home runs, seven RBI and five runs through 12 games in September.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Fading into reserve role

    Mountcastle is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

    Mountcastle is on the bench for the fourth time in five games and looks like he'll be limited to a part-time role down the stretch. Since returning from the injured list Aug. 8, Mountcastle has posted a .702 OPS, nearly 100 points above Coby Mayo's mark during that same stretch (.612 OPS). However, because Mayo is seen as a core building block for the Orioles, he'll continue to be prioritized as the team's everyday first baseman ahead of Mountcastle, who is entering his final year of arbitration in 2026 and could be a possible trade or non-tender candidate this offseason.

  • Cole Wilcox RP | SEA

    Rays' Cole Wilcox: Added to roster

    The Rays selected Wilcox's contract from Triple-A Durham on Wednesday.

    Wilcox was shifted to the bullpen this season in the minors and has collected a 3.70 ERA and 63:27 K:BB over 58.1 innings between Double-A Montgomery and Durham. He will be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game.

  • Taylor Walls 3B | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: Shifts to 60-day IL

    The Rays transferred Walls (sports hernia) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    Manager Kevin Cash had already announced earlier this month that Walls would be shut down for the season after requiring sports hernia surgery, so the infielder's move to the 60-day IL was merely a formality. The transaction opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Cole Wilcox, who was called up from Triple-A Durham.

  • Joey Gerber RP | NYM

    Rays' Joey Gerber: Dispatched to minors

    The Rays optioned Gerber to Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    Gerber pitched well in two relief outings for the Rays, allowing one run with a 4:0 K:BB across 4.1 frames. He's being replaced by a fresh bullpen arm, as the Rays have summoned Cole Wilcox from Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move.
