Jung (knee) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

The Rangers will keep Jung on the bench for a third straight game while he tends to knee discomfort, which stemmed from him fouling a ball off himself during Saturday's loss to the Tigers. Ezequiel Duran will get the start at third base in place of Jung, whom the Rangers are viewing as day-to-day while he continues to receive treatment for the injured knee. Per Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com, Jung is available off the bench as a pinch hitter for Wednesday's game.

Kelly was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Worcester with a right elbow injury, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Kelly has made 17 appearances out of the Red Sox's bullpen this season, holding a 3.31 ERA and 14:7 K:BB over 16.1 innings. It's unclear how long he might be out, but Kelly won't be an option for the Red Sox in the immediate future.

Grisham is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Grisham started each of the first five games for the Yankees upon his return from the injured list last week, but the left-handed batter will take a seat Wednesday as the Rays send southpaw Shane McClanahan to the bump. Max Schuemann will cover center field for New York.

Chisholm is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Tampa Bay.

Chisholm has just a .448 OPS with a 2:14 BB:K over his last 30 plate appearances, so he will get a day off to recalibrate. Jose Caballero is drawing a start at second base for the Yankees and will bat ninth.

Carpenter is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

The Tigers will send Carpenter and fellow left-handed hitters Colt Keith and James Outman to the bench while southpaw Jeffrey Springs takes the hill for the Athletics. Ben Malgeri will spell Carpenter in right field and will bat seventh.

Keith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

The Tigers will send Keith and fellow left-handed hitters Kerry Carpenter and James Outman to the bench while southpaw Jeffrey Springs takes the hill for the Athletics. Detroit manager A.J. Hinch has shielded Keith from same-handed pitching throughout the season, with the 24-year-old logging just 17 of his 260 plate appearances against lefties.

Outman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

The Tigers will send Outman and fellow left-handed hitters Kerry Carpenter and Colt Keith to the bench while southpaw Jeffrey Springs takes the hill for the Athletics. Matt Vierling will cover center field in place of Outman, who went 5-for-35 (.143 average) with two home runs, six RBI, five runs and a 3:14 K:BB while starting in each of the Tigers' last 11 games.

Palacios is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's tilt against the Yankees.

The lefty-swinging Palacios started the previous four games and six of the last seven versus righty hurlers, but he'll step out of the starting lineup Wednesday. Ben Williamson is covering second base for the Rays.

Feduccia is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Yankees.

Feduccia started at catcher in Tuesday's contest but will begin Wednesday's festivities on the bench. Nick Fortes is behind the dish for the Rays.

Mesa is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Yankees.

Mesa has now started just one of three games in the series after being in the lineup for nine of the previous 10 contests. Jonny DeLuca will patrol right field and hit fifth for the Rays.
