Martinez (side) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the White Sox.

Martinez suffered a right side injury during Tuesday's contest. He seems to have avoided a serious injury, but with it being an afternoon game Wednesday ahead of an off day Thursday, Martinez will receive some rest. Steven Kwan is handling left field and Petey Halpin will patrol center field for the Guardians.

DeLauter (wrist) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the White Sox.

DeLauter experienced a setback with his right wrist injury during Monday's game, and he will now sit out a second straight contest. The Guardians are idle Thursday, but with the nature of the injury, it's not a given DeLauter is ready to play by Friday versus the Athletics.

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

He's clearing off the active roster in order to make space for the return of Tommy Pham (calf) from the injured list. Quero went hitless in five plate appearances during his most recent stint in the majors.

The White Sox activated Thorpe (elbow) from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.

Coming back from Tommy John surgery, Thorpe has pitched well in 10 rehab starts, posting a 2.85 ERA and 38:13 K:BB over 41 innings. However, rather than throw him into a playoff race, the White Sox will keep Thorpe at Charlotte for the time being.

The White Sox activated Pham (calf) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Pham required just a minimum 10-day stay on the IL with a left calf strain. He will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup Wednesday in the series finale in Cleveland.

Winn is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

Winn will get the afternoon off after starting each of the previous five contests. It will be Thomas Saggese manning shortstop and batting seventh for the Cardinals in Wednesday's rubber match.

Herrera is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Giants.

It's the first day off since July 23 for Herrera, who is hitless over his last five games. Leo Bernal will slot in at designated hitter, and Pedro Pages is getting a start at catcher while Herrera gets a day to regroup.

Caminero went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the A's.

For the second time in five days, Caminero walked it off for the Rays, this time by getting hold of a 100.4-mph fastball from Elvis Alvarado and driving it the other way to clear the fence in the right-field corner. Caminero is up to 41 homers on the season, first in the American League and third in the majors behind the Phillies' Kyle Schwarber (45) and the Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong (42), and the 23-year-old needs four more RBI to reach 100 for the second straight year.

Baker (3-2) picked up the win Tuesday, working a perfect ninth inning without a strikeout in a 2-1 victory over the A's.

With the game tied 1-1 and a save situation off the table at home, Baker was called in for the top of the ninth and needed just seven pitches (three strikes) to set down the 2-3-4 hitters for the A's. The right-hander then got rewarded when Junior Caminero walked it off with a solo shot. Baker has been scored upon in only one of his last nine appearances, picking up two wins and three saves during that stretch with a 1.08 ERA and 0.96 WHIP, but a lackluster 6:5 K:BB.

The Cardinals designated Urias for assignment Wednesday.

Urias has been limited to only 43 games this season due to tennis elbow in both arms, and he's slashed just .151/.260/.326 in those contests. The veteran infielder is likely to pass through waivers and reach free agency.
