Jump (3-6) took the loss against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, allowing six runs on eight hits and four walks with five strikeouts over 4.2 innings.

Jump opened with three scoreless innings but unraveled from there, departing at 83 pitches after surrendering three homers and being charged with six earned runs over the fourth and fifth frames. It continued a rough stretch for the rookie, who's lost five straight outings while yielding five earned runs or more three times during that stretch. He owns a 4.42 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 61:21 K:BB across 57 innings this season and lines up to face the Red Sox at home next week.

Detmers (3-7) took the loss against the Cardinals on Wednesday, allowing one run on two hits and two walks with six strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

Detmers was locked in a pitcher's duel with Hunter Dobbins before surrendering a solo homer to JJ Wetherholt in the sixth inning, which proved to be the game's only run. The southpaw scuffled a bit entering the All-Star break but has opened the second half with two strong outings, allowing just one earned run with 13 strikeouts over 11.1 innings. He'll take a 4.05 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 136:37 K:BB across 120 innings this season into a home matchup with the Astros next week.

Slawinski was pulled from his most recent minor-league outing with the ACL Angels on July 18 after three innings due to a right oblique injury, MLB.com reports.

The issue isn't considered serious, but it's unclear how long Slawinski will be sidelined. The left-hander was selected by the Angels 79th overall in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft and has been doing well in his first season of pro ball. Across 12 starts spanning 54 innings with the team's ACL affiliate, Slawinski has posted a 3.33 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 82:17 K:BB.

Moncada (knee) has been rehabbing at his home and hasn't started baseball activities, MLB.com reports.

Moncada underwent right knee surgery in mid-June and was consequently placed on the 60-day IL. While the veteran third baseman is expected to return this season, a definitive timeline isn't clear given his inability to resume baseball activities to this point. Denzer Guzman and Vaughn Grissom have been sharing duties at the hot corner for the Angels of late.

Caballero isn't in the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against Pittsburgh.

After going 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts during New York's matinee loss, Caballero will move to the bench to begin the nightcap. Anthony Volpe will step in as the Yankees' shortstop and bat seventh.

Wells isn't in the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Pirates.

Wells went 1-for-1 with a walk and a run scored during the first half of the twin bill and will watch the nightcap from the bench while Ali Sanchez starts at catcher and bats ninth.

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

Smith will wind up taking a seat for all three games of the series with Miami, though he made an impact off the bench in the opener Monday by walking in his lone plate appearance and claiming his 10th stolen base of the season. Taylor Trammell covered right field for the first two games against the Marlins, but LaMonte Wade will occupy the position in the finale. Smith could be part of a committee in right field while he's been in a prolonged slump at the plate. Dating back to July 4, Smith is slashing just .105/.186/.184 over a stretch of 13 contests.

Altuve is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Altuve will head to the bench for the first time since June 28, ending a streak of 17 consecutive starts. Nick Allen will fill in for Altuve at the keystone in the series finale.

Wong isn't in the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against Baltimore.

After going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts during Boston's matinee victory, Wong will get a chance to rest his legs during Game 2. Carlos Narvaez will take over behind the plate and bat ninth.

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

The Rangers will keep Pederson on the bench for the second day in a row while the White Sox send another lefty starter (Anthony Kay) to the bump. Wyatt Langford will replace Pederson as the Rangers' designated hitter and leadoff batter.
