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

Jeffers will get a break Wednesday after he had started in each of the last three games (two at catcher, one at designated hitter). Christian Vazquez will step in behind the plate for Jeffers and will form a battery with starting pitcher Bailey Ober.

Cano said Wednesday that he had been dealing with right forearm tightness but is now available to pitch, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Cano hasn't pitched in a week, but the reliever said he would have been available out of the bullpen for Tuesday's 10-0 loss to the Giants, had he been needed. The setup man has collected a 2.78 ERA and 59:21 K:BB across 55 relief innings for the Orioles in 2024.

Urias (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.

The Orioles haven't indicated how many rehab games he will require, but Urias is nearing a return from the 10-day injured list after being out since late August with a sprained right ankle. Urias and Jordan Westburg (hand) look to be tracking toward returns around the same time, and the latter should be the priority for playing time at third base.

Triple-A Worcester placed Campbell (lat) on the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Campbell hadn't played since last Wednesday due to the left lat strain, and his move to the IL likely means that Worcester is no longer counting on the 22-year-old to return before its regular season ends Sunday. The injury brings an end to a whirlwind campaign for Campbell, who opened the season at High-A Greenville and received two promotions while slashing .330/.439/.558 with 20 home runs and 24 stolen bases in 519 plate appearances across three levels. His lat injury isn't believed to be a major concern, so he should head into spring training at full strength.

Isbel is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Tigers.

Southpaw Tarik Skubal is on the hill for Detroit, so the left-handed-hitting Isbel will take a seat. Garrett Hampson will occupy center field and bat ninth for Kansas City.

Frazier is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Tigers.

After a string a five straight starts, Frazier has now been out of the lineup for two games in a row. His absence Wednesday comes against lefty Tarik Skubal, so it's no surprise the left-handed-hitting Frazier will be on the bench to begin the contest.

Massey is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Ace lefty Tarik Skubal is getting the start for the Tigers, so the left-handed-hitting Massey will begin the contest on the bench. Maikel Garcia will handle second base as the Royals try avoid the sweep.

Caballero is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Red Sox.

Cabellero started each of the previous five games for the Rays, but he will begin Wednesday's contest on the bench. Taylor Walls will garner the start at shortstop and will bat eighth.

Siri is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Red Sox.

Siri hit a home run and drove in four runs in Tuesday's win over Boston, but he nonetheless finds himself on the bench a day later. Jonny DeLuca will patrol center field for Tampa Bay on Wednesday.

Diaz is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

Diaz had started the last three games, although he's seen his playing time cut into a bit the last couple weeks as the Rays get a look at some younger players. Jonathan Aranda will start at first base Wednesday, and Austin Shenton will serve as the Rays' designated hitter.
