Stanton is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Seattle.

Stanton will receive his first day off of the season after picking up exactly two hits in each of the Yankees' first five games. Ben Rice will get a day off from first base but will stick in the lineup at designated hitter in Stanton's stead.

Mayer is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

After a string of four straight starts, Mayer will get a breather Wednesday while the Red Sox conclude their series in Houston with a day game after a night game. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will fill in for Mayer at second base.

Narvaez was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros for non-injury reasons, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Connor Wong will start at catcher for the second day in a row and the third time in four games, but Narvaez doesn't appear to be dealing with any sort of health-related concern. Instead, manager Alex Cora hinted that Narvaez's absence might be a matter of discipline, as the skipper noted that he would keep the reason as to why Narvaez was scratched between himself and the catcher. After undergoing surgery in October to repair the meniscus in his left knee, Narvaez enjoyed a healthy spring training and had recorded four hits in nine at-bats through his first three games of the season.

Rays manager Kevin Cash said Wednesday that Lux (shoulder) is headed to Triple-A Durham to begin a rehab assignment, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

Cash said that Lux will play a few games in a row to "see how it goes" before the team decides whether he's ready for activation from the 10-day injured list. Lux -- who is recovering from a right shoulder impingement -- is eligible to return at any time, so he should be ready for his season debut at some point next week if all goes well. The 28-year-old is poised to operate as Tampa Bay's primary second baseman.

Feduccia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Feduccia had been included in the starting nine in the Rays' first two matchups of the season against right-handed starters, but he'll end up hitting the bench Wednesday for the third game in a row. Two of those absences have come against righties, which suggests that the Rays aren't planning to go with a hard platoon of the left-handed-hitting Feduccia and the right-handed-hitting Nick Fortes at catcher.

Williams is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Ben Williamson will cover shortstop in the series finale in Milwaukee after Williams had occupied the position in each of the Rays' first five games. The 22-year-old rookie has gotten off to a slow start, slashing just .158/.200/.211 while striking out in six of his 21 plate appearances.

Sousa (oblique) will throw a live batting practice session next week, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

It will be his first time facing hitters since he suffered a Grade 1 left oblique strain in his final spring training appearance. He's eligible to be activated from the 15-day injured list next week and the Astros have been optimistic that Sousa won't need more than a minimum stay on the IL, so it's possible he skips a rehab assignment.

Cease won't start Thursday against the White Sox after the game was postponed to Friday due to a forecast of inclement weather in Chicago.

The Blue Jays are likely to push Cease and the rest of their rotation back a day as a result of the postponement, so the right-hander should still be lined up to start the series opener Friday.

Burke won't start Thursday against the Blue Jays after the game was postponed to Friday due to a forecast of inclement weather in Chicago.

The White Sox are likely to push Burke and the rest of their rotation back a day as a result of the postponement, so the right-hander should still be lined up to start the team's home opener Friday.

Pearson (elbow) has progressed to throwing a live batting practice session, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Pearson developed soreness in his surgically repaired right elbow a month ago and has been brought along slowly since then. That he's now facing hitters suggests a rehab assignment could be right around the corner. Pearson signed with the Astros over the offseason with the intent to be a starting pitcher, but his best path to a role right now is as a reliever.
