The White Sox placed Peguero on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a right elbow strain.

Peguero recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday and evidently hurt his elbow during his appearance in the White Sox's 11-10 loss to Atlanta later that night. He'll be eligible for activation Sept. 4, but given the nature of the injury, the righty might not be ready at that time.

Baldwin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

With lefty Martin Perez toeing the rubber for the White Sox, the left-handed-hitting Baldwin will cede catching duties to Sean Murphy in the series finale. Baldwin was behind the dish for the first two games of the three-game set with Chicago and went 1-for-9 with a walk, three RBI and one run.

Sanoja will start at third base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

The 22-year-old will occupy the hot corner for the third time in four games and appears to have settled in as the Marlins' preferred option at the position with Graham Pauley (oblique) on the injured list. Sanoja may move back into a utility role before long, however, as Connor Norby (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday and could be ready to return from the IL next week.

Martin (calf) will attempt to go through pitchers' fielding practice Wednesday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Martin suffered a setback with his left calf strain last week when he tried going through PFPs, but he will give it another go Wednesday. The veteran reliever has been sidelined for most of the second half and is likely to need at least a couple rehab appearances before being activated, even if things go better for him Wednesday than they did last week.

Pirates manager Don Kelly confirmed that Chandler will be called up from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday and will be available in a bulk role in the bullpen behind starter Braxton Ashcraft, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Kelly didn't go into specifics regarding what the extent of Chandler's workload might look like if he makes his big-league debut Friday, as his usage may hinge on how deep into the game Ashcraft is able to work after covering an MLB season-high five innings last Friday versus the Cubs. Ashcraft will be making his third straight turn through the rotation after getting his feet wet as a reliever in 16 of his first 17 big-league outings, and Kelly suggested that Chandler could follow a similar path that may eventually culminate in the top prospect getting starts before the end of the season. Chandler had been working exclusively out of the rotation at Triple-A and struck out 121 batters over 100 innings, but a bloated 12 percent walk rate played a large part in his elevated 1.48 WHIP. The Pirates are hopeful that pitching out of the bullpen initially could take some pressure off the 23-year-old and help him harness his command, but wringing fantasy value from him -- even as a streaming option -- could prove to be difficult if he follows an unpredictable pitching schedule.

Lopez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's tilt versus the Cardinals.

It appears to be a routine day off for Lopez, who had started each of the previous 10 contests. Maximo Acosta will handle shortstop and bat ninth as the Marlins try to avoid being swept by St. Louis.

Perez (illness) will start at catcher and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

Perez missed each of the previous two contests with an illness, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go Wednesday. The Royals will be going for their sixth straight victory and eighth win over their last nine contests.

Boushley will start for the Rangers in Wednesday's game versus the Royals, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Boushley has made five starts at Triple-A Round Rock this season and often pitches multiple innings in his relief outings with the Rangers. However, he will be taking the hill on one day of rest and last covered more than one inning in an appearance 10 days ago, so the Texas bullpen will be heavily involved Wednesday. Boushley shouldn't be expected to work deep enough into the start to qualify for a win.

Adams is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Drew Millas will pick up a start behind the plate while Adams sits for the second time in three games. Adams is slashing .302/.388/.419 since the beginning of August and is still projected to see the bulk of the playing time at catcher until Keibert Ruiz (concussion) is activated from the 7-day injured list.

House is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

After a string of three straight starts at the hot corner, House will give way to Paul DeJong on Wednesday. Since the beginning of August, House is hitting just .178 with zero home runs, one stolen base, six RBI and three runs in 14 games. Though the Nationals remain committed to giving House an extended look at third base down the stretch, mining fantasy value from the rookie could prove difficult.
