Sammons allowed one run on two hits across 5.2 innings of relief in Wednesday's 3-2, 10-inning win over the Mariners. He walked two and struck out four.

After opener Beau Brieske tossed 1.1 innings to begin the game, Sammons took over and pitched well, though he left with the Tigers trailing 1-0. While the southpaw was unable to pick up his first MLB win, he did manage to lower his ERA to 3.38 to go along with a stellar 0.70 WHIP across 18.2 innings. If Sammons continues to work behind an opener and pitch well, he could have some fantasy value in deeper formats.

Carpenter went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 3-2, 10-inning win over the Mariners.

Carpenter was 0-for-3 with three strikeouts entering the eighth inning, and the Tigers trailed 2-0, but he delivered a key home run to tie the contest. The 26-year-old has now gone deep three times in two games since returning from the injured list following a nearly three-month absence, giving him 11 homers for the season in just 154 at-bats. Carpenter appears to be fully healthy, though Detroit will likely find him some rest days in the near future to ease him back into action.

Sogard was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rangers due to calf tightness, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Sogard fouled a ball off his leg during his at-bat in the eighth inning and felt his calf tighten up on him while in the field during the ninth frame. It's unclear if he'll be available for Thursday's series opener against Baltimore.

Sosa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

Sosa had batted first or second in each of the past three games, but he failed to provide a spark near the top of the lineup, going 1-for-12 at the plate. Though the White Sox probably aren't ready to pull the plug on Sosa as a near-everyday player just yet, the 24-year-old will head to the bench in the series finale nonetheless.

Lee is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

Lee will take a seat in the series finale after catching each of Chicago's last four games. Chuckie Robinson will replace Lee behind the dish.

Wagner is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

Wagner has gone 5-for-8 with three doubles, three RBI and a run in his first two MLB games this season, but he'll take a seat for Wednesday's series finale in Anaheim. Addison Barger will enter the lineup in Wagner's place against Angels lefty Tyler Anderson.

Cabrera will start at third base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

With Jazz Chisholm (elbow) hitting the injured list Wednesday, Cabrera will man the hot corner for the second game in a row and it looks like he'll get the first chance to claim the open spot in the Yankees' everyday lineup. Cabrera enters Wednesday's contest with a four-game hitting streak, but he's supplied a modest .245/.292/.375 slash line with eight home runs and three stolen bases across 275 plate appearances on the season. Along with Cabrera, DJ LeMahieu and Oswald Peraza could get looks at third base while Chisholm is out indefinitely.

Drury isn't in the Angels' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Drury has gone 4-for-18 with two RBI and two runs scored over his last six games and will take a seat for Wednesday's matchup against Jose Berrios. Michael Stefanic will take over at the keystone and bat ninth.

Adell is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Adell has an .806 OPS with two homers and two doubles through 12 games in August, and he'll take a seat for Wednesday's series finale versus Toronto. Kevin Pillar will start in right field and bat third.

Neto is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

The 23-year-old's trip to the bench will end a run of 30 straight starts, during which he slashed .343/.442/.608 with seven doubles, six homers, eight steals, 22 RBI and 21 runs. Luis Guillorme will start at shortstop and bat eighth Wednesday while Neto sits.
