Rutschman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

Samuel Basallo will handle the catching duties while Taylor Ward receives a start at designated hitter as Rutschman rests for the Wednesday matinee game. While starting in four of Baltimore's first six games, Rutschman has gone 4-for-14 with three doubles, three walks, one RBI and one run.

Anthony is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

With an off day looming Thursday, Red Sox manager Alex Cora will hold the struggling Anthony out of the lineup Wednesday to effectively give the young outfielder two full days to clear his head. After donning the Golden Sombrero in Tuesday's 9-2 loss to Houston, Anthony has now gone hitless with eight strikeouts in 12 at-bats over his last three starts.

Teodo (back) has allowed three runs (two earned) on zero hits and three walks while recording three outs through his first two relief appearances at Triple-A Round Rock. He's also hit three batters and has thrown three wild pitches.

Before the Rangers optioned him to minor-league camp March 2, Teodo had been tending to a back injury early in spring training that prevented him from making any Cactus League appearances. Teodo was apparently able to move past the issue ahead of the start of the Triple-A season, and he'll be primed to fill a key relief role for Round Rock in 2026. The right-hander has gotten off to a rough start through his first two appearances and will need to show improved control over an extended period before earning his first big-league call-up.

Pederson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

The left-handed-hitting Pederson has now hit the bench for each of the Rangers' first three matchups versus southpaws, which doesn't come as a major surprise with the 33-year-old having produced a 79 wRC+ over 668 career plate appearances against lefties. Andrew McCutchen is expected to serve as Pederson's primary platoon mate this season, but Brandon Nimmo will be in the designated-hitter spot Wednesday while McCutchen draws his first start in right field.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Red Sox.

Diaz had started at catcher each of the previous two days, so he will get some rest with the Astros wrapping up their series against the Red Sox with a day game after a night game. Christian Vazquez will start at catcher Wednesday as Houston attempts to finish off a series sweep.

Pena is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

Pena continues to play every other day as the Astros ease him back into action following a recovery from a fractured finger. He should be ready to resume playing on an everyday basis soon, but it's unclear when exactly it will happen. Carlos Correa will start at shortstop and Isaac Paredes will cover third base Wednesday as the Astros go for the series sweep.

Smith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Smith was part of the lineup against a lefty (the Phillies' Cristopher Sanchez) on Opening Day, but the left-handed-hitting infielder will hit the bench for a second straight matchup versus a southpaw. Ezequiel Duran will get the nod at second base Wednesday against Trevor Rogers and could serve as a regular platoon partner for Smith.

Higashioka is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Through Texas' first six games, Higashioka has drawn two starts at catcher to Danny Jansen's four. The Rangers could split the reps fairly equitably between the two backstops this season, but at least in the early going, Jansen looks to be Option 1A of the duo.

Acuna will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's contest versus the Marlins.

It's the third start at shortstop already this season for Acuna, who has also made two starts in center field. Colson Montgomery is at third base for the White Sox on Wednesday. The 24-year-old Acuna is currently eligible only at second base on most fantasy platforms, but he's on track to pick up eligibility at shortstop and outfield soon. Acuna is 2-for-12 with a 1:1 BB:K and two stolen bases in his first four games this season.

Hays is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Miami.

Hays will receive a day off after going 3-for-19 with a 0:9 BB:K over his first 19 plate appearances this season. Andrew Benintendi will patrol left field for the White Sox on Wednesday and Miguel Vargas will get a start at designated hitter.
