  • Amed Rosario 3B | NYY

    Yankees' Amed Rosario: Not starting versus Skubal

    Rosario is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Detroit.

    Ace lefty Tarik Skubal is on the bump for the Tigers, marking the first time all season that Rosario has not been in the lineup versus a southpaw when he was on the active roster. Jose Caballero will cover third base for the Yankees.

  • Caleb Durbin 3B | BOS

    Red Sox's Caleb Durbin: Makes early exit Wednesday

    Durbin was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rockies prior to the bottom of the third inning due to an apparent injury, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports. He went 0-for-2 prior to leaving the game.

    Though the nature of Durbin's injury isn't yet known, he appeared to get hurt while sliding into first base as he attempted to leg out an infield single in the top of the third inning. For the bottom half of the frame, Anthony Seigler slid over from second base to cover the hot corner in place of Durbin, who owns a .635 OPS on the season but had been one of the Red Sox's hottest hitters with a .317/.343/.587 slash line through his first 18 games of June heading into Wednesday. The Red Sox should have an update on Durbin's condition later in the day.

  • Jack Flaherty SP | DET

    Tigers' Jack Flaherty: On track to return Sunday

    Flaherty (ankle) is expected to return from the 15-day injured list to start Sunday against the Astros, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Flaherty was sharp in his rehab start with Double-A Erie on Tuesday, striking out seven while holding the opposition to two runs over 5.2 frames. He got his pitch count up to 83, so Flaherty should be prepared for a relatively normal workload Sunday. With Keider Montero pitching well, the Tigers could stick with a six-man rotation once Flaherty returns, at least for one turn.

  • Jahmai Jones DH | BOS

    Tigers' Jahmai Jones: Not starting against lefty

    Jones is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Though he's on the Tigers' roster primarily as a specialist against left-handed pitching, Jones will be on the bench Wednesday for a matchup with Yankees southpaw Ryan Weathers. Jones has failed to live up to his billing as a lefty masher thus far in 2026, slashing .162/.253/.270 with a 28.9 percent strikeout rate over 83 plate appearances. The 28-year-old is likely on a tight leash and could soon be in danger of being designated for assignment.

  • James Outman CF | DET

    Tigers' James Outman: Taking seat versus lefty

    Outman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Though Matt Vierling will get the call in center field for the second straight game while the Tigers go up against another lefty (Ryan Weathers), Outman may have moved into the strong side of a platoon at the position. Outman started over Vierling in the Tigers' last two matchups with righties and has gone 3-for-16 with a home run, a stolen base and a 2:10 BB:K overall since joining Detroit earlier this month as a waiver pickup from Minnesota.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Idle versus lefty

    Keith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    The left-handed-hitting Keith will be on the bench for the second day in a row while the Yankees send another lefty starter (Ryan Weathers) to the bump. Keith has logged just 13 plate appearances versus lefties all season, reaching base on only two occasions.

  • Tigers' Kerry Carpenter: Sitting against southpaw again

    Carpenter is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    The left-handed-hitting Carpenter will be on the bench for the second day in a row while the Yankees send another lefty starter (Ryan Weathers) to the bump. Ben Malgeri will fill in for Carpenter in right field once again after going 2-for-3 with a run scored in his MLB debut Tuesday.

  • Ernie Clement 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Sitting again with hip issue

    Clement (hip) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

    Clement will be relegated to the bench for a second straight game while he tends to a sore left hip, which previously kept him out of the lineup for two games over the weekend. Luis Urias will pick up another start at the keystone Wednesday while Clement receives further maintenance for his hip.

  • Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Checking back into starting nine

    Canzone (hamstring) will start at designated hitter and bat sixth Wednesday against the Pirates.

    He'll check back into the starting nine after a right hamstring injury kept him from playing in Tuesday's 3-2 win. The 29-year-old has been holding down a strong-side platoon role at DH for the Mariners this season and has torched right-handed pitching to the tune of a .288/.348/.581 slash line with 11 home runs in 178 plate appearances.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Missing out on fifth straight start

    Witt (knee) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

    Though he's out of the starting nine for a fifth consecutive game while he tends to a Grade 1 MCL sprain, Witt noted that his right knee is feeling better with each passing day, per Brian Murphy of MLB.com. For the third day in a row, Witt said that he will field groundballs and hit in the batting cage prior to the game, and he expects to be available off the bench if he's needed. The Royals will likely re-evaluate Witt on Thursday before determining if he's ready to return to the lineup for the series finale in Tampa Bay, but even if he requires another day off, the two-time All-Star looks poised to avoid a stint on the injured list.
