Goodman (wrist) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

Goodman was a late scratch from the lineup Tuesday due to a jammed wrist suffered during a play at the plate Monday, and the injury will now officially cost him another start. Brett Sullivan will fill in at catcher and bat ninth Wednesday.

Red Sox manager Chad Tracy said Wednesday that Bello could be called up from Triple-A Worcester and to pitch Saturday against the Yankees if Ranger Suarez (adductor) is unable to start, Sean McAdam of MassLive.com reports.

Suarez was pulled early in his most recent start Sunday against the Angels due to adductor tightness. The Red Sox are hopeful that the left-hander can avoid a stint on the injured list and make a start during the upcoming weekend, but Boston may have to turn to Bello to fill in either as a conventional starter or in a bulk-relief role if Suarez is unable to pitch. Since being optioned to Worcester on June 5, Bello has submitted a 4.34 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 22:4 K:BB across 18.2 frames over four starts.

Pages isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

After going 1-for-9 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored across the first two games of the series, Pages will retreat to the dugout to begin Wednesday's finale. Alex Call will fill the void in center field and bat eighth.

Rushing isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Colorado, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Rushing will get a day off Wednesday after going 3-for-8 with a walk, an RBI and a pair of runs scored through the first two games of the series. Eliezer Alfonzo will take over at catcher and bat ninth.

Soler is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Rangers on Wednesday.

Soler will get a breather Wednesday while Mike Trout (hamstring) serves as the designated hitter in his return from the 10-day injured list. Soler is slashing .216/.301/.396 with 11 home runs and 39 RBI over 292 plate appearances this season.

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

Frelick will get a chance to catch his breath Wednesday after going 0-for-6 across both games of Tuesday's twin bill. Luis Lara will replace him as Milwaukee's right fielder and bat sixth.

Schanuel is absent from Wednesday's lineup against Texas.

Schanuel has been in the lineup against southpaws this season, though he's slashing .197/.280/.303 with two home runs and 10 RBI across 75 plate appearances against left-handed pitching. He'll be on the bench for the beginning of Wednesday's contest while Vaughn Grissom starts at first base and bats third against Rangers southpaw Mackenzie Gore.

Medical imaging revealed an injury to Woodruff's right anterior shoulder capsule Wednesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Woodruff landed on the injured list Sunday with right shoulder inflammation -- an issue that has already caused the veteran righty to miss more than a month of action this year. However, his latest diagnosis is being described as a new injury, so there's no telling how long he may be on the shelf for. He's set to receive a second opinion from Dr. Keith Meister -- the surgeon who performed Woodruff's 2023 shoulder surgery -- that will aid in determining his return timeline.

Meckler is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Rangers on Wednesday.

The Rangers are sending southpaw Mackenzie Gore to the mound, so the lefty-hitting Meckler will take a seat while Josh Lowe, Jose Siri and Jo Adell start in the outfield from left to right. With Mike Trout (hamstring) back from the 10-day injured list, it's possible that either or both of Meckler and Lowe lose out on playing time against right-handed pitching. Meckler is slashing .284/.357/.394 with two steals, two home runs and 16 RBI over 129 plate appearances this season.

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

With Milwaukee sending a tough lefty in Kyle Harrison to the bump, Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol will elect to give the lefty-swinging Church a breather. Lars Nootbaar will cover center field in place of Church, who went 7-for-43 (.163 average) with three home runs, eight RBI and five runs while starting in each of the past 12 games.
