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

Campusano will rest up for Wednesday's matinee after he caught all nine innings of the Padres' 11-2 win Tuesday night while going 3-for-4 with a home run, a walk, three RBI and an additional run. Freddy Fermin will spell Campusano behind the dish in the series finale.

Stephenson is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the White Sox.

It's routine day off after Stephenson started each of the last two games. Jose Trevino will do the catching and bat seventh for the Reds.

Yelich is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

The Brewers and Padres are closing out their series with a day game after a night game, and a lefty (Robbie Ray) is on the hill for San Diego, so the left-handed-hitting Yelich will unsurprisingly receive the afternoon off. William Contreras will get a day off from catching but will stick in the lineup in Yelich's usual spot at designated hitter.

Lara is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

Lara will sit for just the second time in nine games while the Brewers roll out a starting outfield of Jackson Chourio, Brandon Lockridge and Jake Bauers from the left to right. Since receiving the call to the big leagues July 7, Lara has shown good plate discipline with a 13.1 percent walk rate and a 19 percent strikeout rate, but he's provided limited fantasy value. Through 26 games, Lara is batting .236 with no home runs, two steals, 11 RBI and nine runs.

Mitchell is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

The Brewers will send the left-handed-hitting Mitchell to the bench while southpaw Robbie Ray takes the hill for the Padres. Brandon Lockridge will step in for Mitchell in center field and will bat seventh.

Meidroth (wrist) will start at shortstop and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Reds.

With the discomfort in his left wrist having subsided, Meidroth will check back into the starting nine after he had been relegated to a bench role for the White Sox's previous two contests. Meidroth will pick up a start at shortstop for the first time all season while the White Sox's main option at that position, Colson Montgomery, slides over to third base to fill in for a resting Miguel Vargas.

Vargas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

Though Vargas slugged a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-4 extra-inning loss, he's slashing just .198/.288/.396 with four long balls, 15 runs, nine RBI and one steal in 23 games since the All-Star break. Vargas had started every game since June 22, so manager Will Venable will give the 26-year-old a breather with the hope that the rest day helps ignite his bat over the remaining six and a half weeks of the season.

The Tigers optioned Diaz to Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

He's being sent out in order to make space for the return of Enmanuel De Jesus (personal) from the paternity list. Diaz made one scoreless appearance during his brief stint with the Tigers.

The Tigers activated De Jesus (personal) from the paternity leave list Wednesday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

De Jesus was away from the team for only one day while welcoming a new addition to the family. Yilber Diaz was sent down to Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding roster move.

The Mariners claimed MacIver off waivers from the Blue Jays on Wednesday.

MacIver will report to Triple-A Tacoma, where he will provide the Mariners with some catching depth. The 29-year-old has hit .270/.344/.459 at the Triple-A level in 2026.
