The Guardians placed DeLauter (rib) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Since his IL stint is retroactive to Sunday, DeLauter will be eligible for activation June 24, but a return in the minimum amount of time could prove to be ambitious for the outfielder after an MRI on Tuesday revealed a small right side rib fracture in addition to bone bruising. Cleveland recalled Kahlil Watson from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move, but he'll be on the bench Wednesday against the Brewers while the Guardians go with Steven Kwan, Petey Halpin and David Fry as their starting outfielders. A clearer target date for DeLauter's return should emerge once he's able to resume full baseball activities.

Lombard sustained an apparent left wrist injury and exited in the fifth inning of Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's 3-1 win over Columbus on Tuesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Lombard doubled and walked in two plate appearances before checking out of the contest after he appeared to hurt his wrist while trying to tag a baserunner. Yankees manager Aaron Boone didn't have an update Wednesday when asked about Lombard's injury, so the 21-year-old prospect can be viewed as day-to-day for now. One of the top prospects in the upper levels of the minors, Lombard has slashed .231/.381/.385 with four home runs and eight steals in 42 games at Triple-A since being promoted from Double-A Somerset on April 29. Lombard has made starts at second base, third base and shortstop since arriving at Triple-A, giving him multiple pathways to playing time if the Yankees decide to call him up at some point later this season.

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

Left-hander Carlos Rodon is starting for the Yankees, so the left-handed-hitting Benintendi will be given a night off as the White Sox stock up on some extra right-handed bats. Randal Grichuk will step in for Benintendi as Chicago's designated hitter.

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

After Peters started in each of the White Sox's last 10 games, manager Will Venable has elected to give the left-handed-hitting outfielder a breather while the Yankees send southpaw Carlos Rodon to the bump. Peters has been an unsung hero in the White Sox's surprise 38-33 start to the season. While the 26-year-old rookie hasn't provided much in the way of counting statistics with three home runs, four stolen bases, 22 runs and 21 RBI in 68 games, he's produced a strong .294/.352/.450 slash line across 200 plate appearances.

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

After starting behind the dish in the White Sox's previous two games, Romo will cede catching duties to Edgar Quero on Wednesday. The two backstops are likely to be deployed in a timeshare arrangement until Kyle Teel (knee) is deemed ready to return from the 60-day injured list.

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

The left-handed-hitting Pinango will be on the bench once again Wednesday while the Red Sox send a lefty starter (Jake Bennett) to the hill for the second straight day. Toronto will roll out a starting outfield of Davis Schneider, Myles Straw and Jesus Sanchez from left to right in the penultimate game of the series.

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

With southpaw Jake Bennett on the bump for Boston, the left-handed-hitting Lukes will retreat to the bench after he had started each of the last seven games while going 8-for-28 (.286 average) with two runs and one RBI. Toronto will work with a starting outfield of Davis Schneider, Myles Straw and Jesus Sanchez from left to right.

The Mariners optioned Washington High-A Everett on Wednesday.

Likely because of Everett's proximity to Seattle more than anything else, the Mariners opted to call up Washington from High-A ahead of Tuesday's game against the Orioles to provide the club with some emergency outfield depth after Randy Arozarena (hamstring) was placed on the injured list. Washington didn't get the chance to make his MLB debut in the Mariners' 3-1 win and will now head back to Everett after Connor Joe arrived from Triple-A Tacoma to fill the spot on the active roster vacated by Arozarena. Given that he's 26 years old and has produced a modest .674 OPS at the High-A level this season, Washington will likely be designated for assignment the next time Seattle needs to open up a 40-man roster spot.

Fisher will serve as the Blue Jays' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game in Boston, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Max Scherzer had been scheduled to start Wednesday, but after he developed back spasms that resulted in his unexpected placement on the IL, the Blue Jays will pivot to a bullpen game. The opener assignment is a familiar one for Fisher, who has made four of his 36 appearances this season as a starter. He hasn't recorded more than six outs in any of those outings, so he'll likely cover no more than an inning or two before exiting the game. Chad Dallas and Simeon Woods Richardson are on hand as fresh arms capable of covering multiple frames in relief behind Fisher.

The Blue Jays recalled Dallas from Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.

Toronto had optioned Dallas to Triple-A on June 5, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the big club less than two weeks later since Max Scherzer (back) was placed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday. Scherzer had been scheduled to start Wednesday's game in Boston, but his move to the IL will prompt the Blue Jays to turn to Braydon Fisher to open the contest. Dallas will be available on five days' rest and could be called upon to cover multiple innings out of the bullpen once Fisher exits the game, though Simeon Woods Richardson also lingers as a fresh arm that Toronto could lean on in bulk relief.
