Nimmo (ankle) will start in right field and bat second Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.

Nimmo was lifted from Tuesday's 7-4 win in the sixth inning after spraining his left ankle earlier in the game when he tried to leg out an infield single. According to Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News, Nimmo's status heading into Wednesday's series finale was a question mark, but he's been given the green light to start after completing a pregame running workout. After leading off in his first 39 starts of the season, Nimmo will occupy the No. 2 spot for the second day in a row while designated hitter Joc Pederson serves as the Rangers' table setter.

The Athletics recalled Barnett from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

The 25-year-old will return to the majors to replace Brooks Kriske, who landed on the injured list Wednesday with a shoulder injury. Barnett pitched two shutout innings during his lone appearance with the A's this season in mid-April, and he owns a 3.07 ERA and 1.27 WHIP through 29.1 frames at Las Vegas. He'll likely take on a multi-inning role out of the bullpen while with the A's.

The Athletics placed Kriske on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a right shoulder impingement.

Kriske was removed from his appearance Tuesday due to a shoulder issue, and he'll now officially be sidelined for at least the next 15 days after being diagnosed with an impingement. Mason Barnett will come up from Triple-A Las Vegas to round out the Athletics' bullpen.

Soderstrom isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

Soderstrom doesn't usually step out of the lineup when a lefty is on the mound, but he'll take a seat Wednesday with Matthew Liberatore set to start on the bump for St. Louis. Brent Rooker, Henry Bolte and Colby Thomas will start across the outfield for the A's while Soderstrom sits.

Larnach isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Larnach has gone 8-for-30 (.267) with three RBI, two runs scored and a steal since the start of May, but the Twins will hold him out of the starting nine Wednesday. While he sits, Austin Martin, Byron Buxton and Matt Wallner will form Minnesota's outfield trio.

Lewis isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Miami.

Lewis will grab a seat on the bench to begin Wednesday's contest after going 2-for-13 with an RBI, two runs scored and a steal across his last four starts. Tristan Gray will cover the hot corner and bat ninth.

Jeffers isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Jeffers will take a seat Wednesday after going 1-for-3 with a two-run homer during Tuesday's series opener. Victor Caratini will fill in behind the plate and bat seventh.
