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

The left-handed-hitting Teel started behind the plate in both of the White Sox's previous two contests but will take a seat for Wednesday's matinee while the Blue Jays send lefty Eric Lauer to the bump. Edgar Quero will draw the start at catcher in the series finale.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-4 with a double, two runs and two RBI in a 10-3 win against Seattle on Tuesday.

Goldschmidt scored New York's first run of the game in the fifth inning and stroked a two-run single in the seventh. He notched his fourth multi-hit performance over his past five contests, a span during which he's batting .391 with five doubles. The hot stretch comes on the heels of a rough 1-for-23 stretch to end the month of June. On the season, Goldschmidt is slashing .290/.349/.435 with eight homers, 34 RBI, 54 runs and five stolen bases over 347 plate appearances.

Judge went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI against the Mariners in a 10-3 victory Tuesday.

Judge hit one of three Yankees long balls in the win, swatting a 345-foot solo shot in the seventh inning. The All-Star outfielder has homered in his past two games and has gone deep six times while driving in 12 runs over his past nine contests. Judge is up to 34 home runs on the campaign, two shy of MLB leader Cal Raleigh (36).

Stanton went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in a 10-3 win against Seattle on Tuesday.

Stanton's homer was a 401-foot, three-run shot in the sixth inning that gave New York a 4-0 lead. It was the second home run of the season for the slugger, who has played in 17 contests since making his season debut June 16 following a lengthy stint on the IL. Stanton's OPS on the season is at .712 through 66 plate appearances, but he's beginning to look more like his old self at the plate, with both of his homers and six RBI coming over his past five games.

Benintendi is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Blue Jays.

The left-handed-hitting Benintendi isn't a platoon bat, but he'll get a breather Wednesday as the Blue Jays send southpaw Eric Lauer to the hill. Michael Taylor will patrol left field and bat ninth for the White Sox.

The White Sox recalled Elko from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday. He'll start at first base and bat seventh in the White Sox's series finale versus the Blue Jays.

Elko has struggled during his big-league chances thus far, putting up a .601 OPS and 38.1 percent strikeout rate over 63 plate appearances. The right-handed-hitting Elko could be a regular part of the White Sox lineup against left-handed pitching, but his opportunities to start versus righties could be more limited.

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

After a stretch of seven consecutive starts, Schneider has now hit the bench in two of the Blue Jays' last three contests, with both of his absences from the lineup coming against right-handed pitchers. Schneider should be locked into a regular spot in the starting nine versus lefties, but left-handed hitters Joey Loperfido and Will Wagner could be prioritized ahead of Schneider when the Blue Jays face righties.

The White Sox placed Baldwin on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a lower-back strain.

Baldwin was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Blue Jays and didn't bounce back well enough from his back issue to avoid the IL. Tim Elko was called up from Triple-A Charlotte to replace Baldwin on the roster.

Heineman will start at catcher and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

With top backstop Alejandro Kirk resting for the matinee contest, Heineman will get the nod behind the plate. Since being activated from the 7-day injured list June 3, Heineman has started 11 games and has gone 7-for-29 (.241 average) with one home run, six RBI and eight runs.

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

After starting in each of the last 31 contests, Clement will get a well-deserved breather for the day game after a night game. With a respectable .722 OPS over 328 plate appearances in addition to providing excellent defense at multiple infield spots, Clement has been an indispensable piece for the Blue Jays in 2025, but he could fade into more of a part-time role against right-handed pitching once Toronto gets healthier. Clement has been far more effective versus lefties (.396/.438/.635 slash line, 198 wRC+) than righties (.244/.283/.273 slash line, 57 wRC+) this season.
