The White Sox placed Gilbert on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a left shoulder impingement.

Gilbert retired one of three batters he faced in Tuesday's extra-innings win over Atlanta and finds himself on the IL a day later. Chris Murphy will take over Gilbert's vacated roster spot.

McKinstry will start in center field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Twins.

After earning a Silver Slugger Award as a utility player in 2025, McKinstry has noticed a big drop in production to begin the current season but has begun to show signs of life at the plate since the calendar flipped to June. Through his first five games on the month, McKinstry has gone 5-for-15 with a triple, four walks and four runs. He'll be rewarded with a third consecutive start and appears to have at least temporarily moved ahead of Matt Vierling and Wenceel Perez in the pecking order for one of two spots at the bottom of the Detroit lineup.

Perez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Perez will head to the bench for the second day in a row while the Tigers roll out a starting outfield of Riley Greene, Zach McKinstry and Kerry Carpenter from left to right. After producing a .738 OPS over 100 games in 2025, Perez has taken a big step back this season, slashing just .176/.241/.333 across 166 plate appearances. Perez could be relegated to a part-time role until his bat begins to heat up.

Vierling is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Vierling will head to the bench after having gone hitless in eight at-bats over his last three games, dropping his average to .208 through 188 plate appearances on the season. Zach McKinstry will get the nod in center field in place of Vierling on Wednesday.

Triple-A Norfolk reinstated Bradfield (hand) from the 7-day injured list Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

The 24-year-old landed on the injured list due to a left hand injury in late April, but he's back in action at Triple-A after a 10-game rehab assignment in the lower minors. Bradfield went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in his first game back with Norfolk on Tuesday and has a .658 OPS through 61 plate appearances at Triple-A this year.

The Astros acquired Delgado from the Rays on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Delgado has put together a .250/.320/.362 batting line with three homers and 24 steals this season at Triple-A Durham while seeing playing time at shortstop, second base and third base. The 26-year-old will report to Triple-A Sugar Land, where he will give Houston additional infield depth.

Wells (head) will resume baseball activities at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

Wells did not accompany the Yankees on their road trip, but he's been cleared for activities after concussion tests and an MRI came back negative. The catcher was placed on the 10-day injured list this past weekend due to cervical headaches, but he looks to be tracking toward a return when first eligible June 16.

The Angels are expected to call up Porter from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.

The transaction won't be made official until shortly before the Angels' game against the Astros later Wednesday, but Porter could be joining the big club as a replacement on the active roster for fellow catcher Sebastian Rivero, who exited Tuesday's 10-1 win with a left hand injury. The 30-year-old Porter saw action in five games at the big-league level with the Giants in 2025 but had played exclusively with San Francisco's Triple-A affiliate in Sacramento this season, producing a .654 OPS across 65 plate appearances before electing free agency last week. Porter is likely to see limited playing time behind top backstop Logan O'Hoppe while he's up with the Angels.

Mayer is absent from Wednesday's lineup versus the Rays due to back and neck stiffness, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy is hopeful that Mayer will be available to pinch hit. However, with a team off day looming Thursday, the club could elect to stay away from Mayer on Wednesday with the goal of having him return to the lineup Friday, when the Red Sox begin a three-game set against the Rangers.

Mayer is out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest at Tampa Bay.

The left-handed-hitting Mayer will get a rare day off versus a right-handed starting pitcher, as the Rays are sending Drew Rasmussen to the bump. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will handle shortstop for the Red Sox, leaving Andruw Monasterio to cover second base.
