Adell went 2-for-4 with a walk, a triple and three RBI in Game 3 of the ALDS against the White Sox on Wednesday.

After striking out in all four of his at-bats during the series opener Saturday -- which was his postseason debut -- Adell has responded by going 3-for-7 with two triples and four RBI in the past two contests. The 27-year-old came to the plate Wednesday with the bases loaded and two outs during the third inning, and he cleared the bases with a triple to give Cleveland a lead it would not relinquish while facing elimination.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a triple, a stolen base, two RBI and two runs during the Guardians' 9-3 win against the White Sox in Game 3 of the ALDS on Wednesday.

The veteran third baseman walked and scored during Cleveland's four-run third inning, then he doubled, stole third and scored in the fifth before providing some insurance runs in the eighth with a two-RBI triple. Ramirez went 0-for-6 with two walks, a run and three strikeouts in the first two games of the series, but he broke out in a big way Wednesday to help the Guardians stave off elimination.

The Padres removed Peralta from their NLDS roster on Wednesday.

Peralta was added to the roster Tuesday as a replacement for Mason Miller, but now that the latter has returned from paternity leave, Peralta will be required to come off the roster without making an appearance in the NLDS.

Miller was reinstated from the paternity list ahead of Game 4 of the NLDS versus the Brewers on Wednesday.

He was away from the club for Game 3 on Tuesday in order to attend the birth of his first child, but it will be only a one-day absence for the star closer. Miller was saddled with a blown save and loss in Game 2 on Sunday.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Rojas (back) is feeling "not great" and will be unavailble off the bench for Game 4 of the NLDS versus Atlanta, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Rojas had to be lifted from Game 3 on Tuesday because of tightness in his left lower back/hip area. The veteran infielder expressed optimism after that contest that he'd be available for Game 4, but Roberts will play it safe and rest Rojas. The skipper noted that there's been no consideration to this point regarding the removal of Rojas from the NLDS roster, in large part because it would make him ineligible for the NLCS.

Simpson is out of the lineup Wednesday for ALDS Game 3 versus the Rays.

The left-handed-hitting Simpson was predominately an everyday player for the Rays this season, but he'll begin this one on the bench as the Yankees send southpaw to Fried to the bump. Ryan Vilade is getting a start in the outfield in place of Simpson, who is 1-for-8 at the plate in the first two games of the series.

McMahon is absent from the lineup Wednesday in Game 3 of the ALDS against the Rays.

The Yankees typically like to have McMahon's glove at third base when groundball pitcher Max Fried is on the mound, but they're desperate for offense so McMahon will take a seat. It will be Jose Caballero manning the hot corner for the Bronx Bombers.

Chisholm is not in the lineup Wednesday for ALDS Game 3 against the Rays.

Chisholm made one of the Yankees' four errors in their Game 2 loss, and he's hitless so far in the series. As a result, the lefty-swinging Chisholm will sit out versus righty Nick Martinez, who has fairly neutral splits. Anthony Volpe is covering second base in Game 3 as the Yankees try to stave off elimination.

Acuna underwent an MRI on his right knee after Tuesday's NLDS Game 3 loss to the Dodgers, which came back negative, Jesus Cano of The Athletic reports.

Acuna experienced lingering soreness in the knee after tweaking it on a stolen base in Sunday's Game 2 win for Atlanta. He was deployed at designated hitter in Game 3, but Acuna is back in right field for Game 4 after imaging returned clean. Drake Baldwin will slot in at DH on Wednesday, while Sean Murphy will do the catching.

Kim is not in the lineup Wednesday for Game 4 of the NLDS versus the Dodgers.

Kim started at shortstop in Games 1 and 3, but he will depart the lineup in Game 4 for the second time in the series. The 30-year-old infielder is 0-for-5 with a 2:3 BB:K so far this postseason, and he made an error in Atlanta's Game 3 loss. Mauricio Dubon will occupy shortstop as Atlanta tries to even the series.
