Volpe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Tigers, and Yankees manager Aaron Boone said he's "in day-to-day mode" in terms of his decision on who will start at shortstop, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

Boone said Tuesday that Volpe remained his starting shortstop, but he seemed to back off that declaration a day later, noting that Jose Caballero -- who is drawing the start at the position Wednesday -- is also in the mix for regular reps at shortstop. Volpe is slashing just .125/.135/.222 with a 29:1 K:BB over his last 21 games and has had numerous defensive lapses.

Carpenter is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

As per usual, the left-handed-hitting Carpenter will take a seat while the Tigers face off against a lefty starter (Carlos Rodon) in Wednesday's tilt. With Carpenter on the bench, the Tigers will go with Jahmai Jones as their designated hitter.

Keith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

With southpaw Carlos Rodon on the hill for the Yankees, the left-handed-hitting Keith will retreat to the bench. Andy Ibanez will replace Keith in the starting nine, manning third base and batting sixth.

McKinstry (back) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

McKinstry is day-to-day will back stiffness, which resulted in him being scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's 12-2 win. He'll remain on the bench Wednesday, though even if fully healthy, the left-handed-hitting utility player might have sat anyway with southpaw Carlos Rodon on the bump for New York.

Baldwin is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

After starting three straight games and seven of the past eight contests, Baldwin will begin Wednesday's contest on the bench. Michael Taylor will be in center field and bat ninth for the White Sox.

Altuve is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Toronto.

Altuve enters action Wednesday having gone just 2-for-29 at the plate over his last seven games, so he will get a day off to regroup. Ramon Urias will handle second base and Victor Caratini will be in the designated-hitter spot for the Astros.

Adams (groin) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Adams will get at least one game off after he was removed from Tuesday's 7-5 win during the bottom of the second inning after taking a foul tip to the groin area while he was catching. Per MLB.com, interim manager Miguel Cairo said after the game that Adams was "fine," but Jorge Alfaro will receive a turn behind the plate Wednesday.

The White Sox optioned Ramos to Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.

Ramos went 2-for-12 at the dish during his brief stint with the big club. He's being dispatched to Charlotte in order to clear space on the active roster for the return of Miguel Vargas (hand) from the injured list.

Rivera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

After seeing his eight-game hitting streak come to an end following an 0-for-4 performance in Tuesday's 3-2 win, Rivera will get a breather Wednesday. Jeremiah Jackson will step in at third base in place of Rivera, who had started in each of the previous seven games.

The White Sox activated Vargas (hand) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

He will start at third base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game versus the Rays, marking his return to action following nearly a two-week absence with a left hand sprain. Vargas bypassed a rehab assignment, as the White Sox were satisfied with how he looked and felt while reincorporating baseball activities over the last few days.
