Outman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Though Matt Vierling will get the call in center field for the second straight game while the Tigers go up against another lefty (Ryan Weathers), Outman may have moved into the strong side of a platoon at the position. Outman started over Vierling in the Tigers' last two matchups with righties and has gone 3-for-16 with a home run, a stolen base and a 2:10 BB:K overall since joining Detroit earlier this month as a waiver pickup from Minnesota.

The Nationals designated Lara for assignment Wednesday.

Lara possesses a big arm capable of regularly reaching triple digits, but he's often struggled to throw strikes. After walking 65 batters over 68.2 innings between Double- and Triple-A in 2025, he's posted a 10.13 ERA and 22:31 K:BB across 16 frames at the Double-A level in 2026. That said, Lara is just 23 years old and could draw interest via waivers because of his upside.

Keith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

The left-handed-hitting Keith will be on the bench for the second day in a row while the Yankees send another lefty starter (Ryan Weathers) to the bump. Keith has logged just 13 plate appearances versus lefties all season, reaching base on only two occasions.

Carpenter is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

The left-handed-hitting Carpenter will be on the bench for the second day in a row while the Yankees send another lefty starter (Ryan Weathers) to the bump. Ben Malgeri will fill in for Carpenter in right field once again after going 2-for-3 with a run scored in his MLB debut Tuesday.

The Nationals claimed Lawrence off waivers from the Twins on Wednesday.

Lawrence has struck out 37 in 28 innings between stints with the Pirates and Twins this season, but he's also walked 21 and posted an 8.04 ERA. He'll aim for more consistency as he joins the Nationals bullpen.

The Phillies announced that Garcia underwent successful surgery Wednesday to repair a torn right lat, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Garcia will face a 6-to-8-month recovery from surgery, which will keep him out for the remainder of the season but give him a good chance at being cleared ahead of spring training in 2027. The 33-year-old is set to become a free agent this winter after he slashed .195/.270/.329 with seven home runs, three stolen bases, 21 RBI and 21 runs over 67 games during his lone season with Philadelphia.

Clement (hip) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Clement will be relegated to the bench for a second straight game while he tends to a sore left hip, which previously kept him out of the lineup for two games over the weekend. Luis Urias will pick up another start at the keystone Wednesday while Clement receives further maintenance for his hip.

Canzone (hamstring) will start at designated hitter and bat sixth Wednesday against the Pirates.

He'll check back into the starting nine after a right hamstring injury kept him from playing in Tuesday's 3-2 win. The 29-year-old has been holding down a strong-side platoon role at DH for the Mariners this season and has torched right-handed pitching to the tune of a .288/.348/.581 slash line with 11 home runs in 178 plate appearances.

Witt (knee) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Though he's out of the starting nine for a fifth consecutive game while he tends to a Grade 1 MCL sprain, Witt noted that his right knee is feeling better with each passing day, per Brian Murphy of MLB.com. For the third day in a row, Witt said that he will field groundballs and hit in the batting cage prior to the game, and he expects to be available off the bench if he's needed. The Royals will likely re-evaluate Witt on Thursday before determining if he's ready to return to the lineup for the series finale in Tampa Bay, but even if he requires another day off, the two-time All-Star looks poised to avoid a stint on the injured list.

The Diamondbacks optioned Drake to Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.

Drake was promoted to the majors Sunday but is still looking to make his big-league debut. The 25-year-old is clearing off the active roster to make space for Mitch Bratt, who is up from Reno to start Wednesday's game in St. Louis.
