Kwan is not in the Guardians' starting lineup against the Twins on Wednesday.

The Twins are sending southpaw Connor Prielipp to the mound, and Kwan has struggled against left-handers this season, slashing .165/.287/.200 with five RBI across 102 plate appearances. With Kwan on the bench, the Guardians will start David Fry, Kahlil Watson and Chase DeLauter in the outfield from left to right.

Bailey is not in Cleveland's starting lineup against Minnesota on Wednesday.

Bailey will get a breather while Austin Hedges starts behind home plate to do the catching for right-hander Slade Cecconi. Bailey is slashing .179/.232/.250 with two home runs and 12 RBI across 182 plate appearances this season.

Jansen (forearm) played catch Wednesday for the first time in two weeks, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Jansen noted that the plan for him moving forward is to throw every other day and see how his right forearm responds. He has been on the 10-day injured list since June 6 due to a right forearm strain, which has allowed Elias Diaz to surpass Kyle Higashioka as the Rangers' primary catcher in Jansen's absence.

Red Sox manager Chad Tracy said Wednesday that Bello could be called up from Triple-A Worcester and to pitch Saturday against the Yankees if Ranger Suarez (adductor) is unable to start, Sean McAdam of MassLive.com reports.

Suarez was pulled early in his most recent start Sunday against the Angels due to adductor tightness. The Red Sox are hopeful that the left-hander can avoid a stint on the injured list and make a start during the upcoming weekend, but Boston may have to turn to Bello to fill in either as a conventional starter or in a bulk-relief role if Suarez is unable to pitch. Since being optioned to Worcester on June 5, Bello has submitted a 4.34 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 22:4 K:BB across 18.2 frames over four starts.

Soler is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Rangers on Wednesday.

Soler will get a breather Wednesday while Mike Trout (hamstring) serves as the designated hitter in his return from the 10-day injured list. Soler is slashing .216/.301/.396 with 11 home runs and 39 RBI over 292 plate appearances this season.

Schanuel is absent from Wednesday's lineup against Texas.

Schanuel has been in the lineup against southpaws this season, though he's slashing .197/.280/.303 with two home runs and 10 RBI across 75 plate appearances against left-handed pitching. He'll be on the bench for the beginning of Wednesday's contest while Vaughn Grissom starts at first base and bats third against Rangers southpaw Mackenzie Gore.

Meckler is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Rangers on Wednesday.

The Rangers are sending southpaw Mackenzie Gore to the mound, so the lefty-hitting Meckler will take a seat while Josh Lowe, Jose Siri and Jo Adell start in the outfield from left to right. With Mike Trout (hamstring) back from the 10-day injured list, it's possible that either or both of Meckler and Lowe lose out on playing time against right-handed pitching. Meckler is slashing .284/.357/.394 with two steals, two home runs and 16 RBI over 129 plate appearances this season.

Tromp cleared outright waivers Wednesday and accepted an assignment to Triple-A Norfolk, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Baltimore removed Tromp from its 40-man roster last Friday after Adley Rutschman was reinstated from the 7-day injured list in a corresponding move. Tromp will end up sticking around in Baltimore's organization and head to the Triple-A level, where he's slashed .182/.270/.341 with three home runs and 13 RBI in 100 plate appearances between Gwinnett and Norfolk this season.

Peraza will start at second base and bat sixth Wednesday against the Rangers.

Peraza will cover the keystone for the third game in a row, with two of his starts having come versus left-handers and one coming versus a righty. With the Angels designating Donovan Walton for assignment Wednesday, Peraza could end up getting a look as an everyday second baseman, though Vaughn Grissom still looms as potential threat for playing time at the position.

Peters is not in the White Sox's starting lineup against the Red Sox on Wednesday.

Peters saw his eight-game hitting streak come to an end in Tuesday's 8-1 loss to Boston, when he went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. He'll be on the bench for the beginning of Wednesday's contest while Junior Perez starts in center field and bats seventh against Red Sox southpaw Jake Bennett.
