Hendriks (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

After checking out fine upon completing a bullpen session over the weekend, Hendriks has received the green light to head to the minors, where he'll likely make a handful of appearances before coming off the 15-day injured list. Heading into spring training, Hendriks appeared to be a leading candidate to take over as Boston's closer in 2025, but he'll likely have to settle for a setup role in front of Aroldis Chapman once he's activated.

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

Baldwin will begin Wednesday's game on the bench after he started in each of the last six games while playing four different positions (second base, shortstop, left field and right field). The White Sox haven't settled on a permanent spot for Baldwin, but the switch-hitting utility player should continue to hold down a near-everyday role.

Maton is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

With southpaw Logan Allen toeing the rubber for Cleveland, the left-handed-hitting Maton will retreat to the bench. Austin Slater will fill the designated-hitter spot in Maton's stead.

Thaiss is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

The left-handed-hitting Thaiss will check out of the lineup while the Guardians send southpaw Logan Allen to the mound Wednesday. Korey Lee will handle the catching duties for the White Sox.

The White Sox recalled Jones from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.

Jones was claimed off waivers just before Opening Day and is now up in the majors despite hitting just .138/.286/.276 with a 40 percent strikeout rate at Charlotte. He could see some action in left field while Andrew Benintendi (adductor) is on the injured list.

The White Sox placed Benintendi on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a left adductor strain.

Benintendi exited Sunday's game against the Tigers and hasn't improved enough in subsequent days to avoid the IL. Per Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times, Benintendi believes he could have played in a few days, but the team wanted to exercise caution. He should have a good shot to be activated when first eligible April 16. The White Sox have been using Brooks Baldwin and Michael Taylor in left field on days Benintendi is unavailable. The club has also recalled Greg Jones from Triple-A Charlotte, and he could factor into the mix in left field.

Rengifo is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Rays, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rengifo will hit the bench for the first time all season after reaching base seven times over his last four games. Fletcher notes that Rengifo didn't appear to be running well during Tuesday's 4-3 win, but the Angels haven't indicated that he's dealing with an injury. Tim Anderson will occupy second base and bat eighth for the Angels on Wednesday.

Adell is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Tampa Bay.

Adell is only 2-for-19 across his last five games, so he'll get a day off to regroup. The hot-hitting Kyren Paris will start in center field and bat seventh for the Angels on Wednesday.

Moncada (thumb) will start at third base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Moncada missed the previous three contests after aggravating a right thumb injury, but he is feeling well enough to give it a go in this one. The 29-year-old is just 4-for-20 at the plate to start off his Angels career.

Garver is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Though he's been limited to just one start at designated hitter through Seattle's first 13 games, Garver could end up being the team's primary option at the position in the aftermath of Victor Robles (shoulder) landing on the IL. Luke Raley had been serving as the team's primary DH against right-handed pitching to begin the season, but he'll pick up a third straight start at Robles' spot in right field. The Mariners have deployed Jorge Polanco at DH in two of their three games versus Houston while he manages a side injury, but the spot could open up for Garver once Polanco is cleared to play third base again.
