Meidroth went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Reds.

Meidroth sat out two games while battling a sore left wrist. It didn't seem to be much of a concern when he went deep in the sixth inning to give the White Sox some breathing room. Meidroth has gone 10-for-30 (.333) with three homers and eight RBI over his eight games in August. On the year, he's batting .276 with a .763 OPS, 12 homers, 48 RBI, 68 runs scored, 21 doubles and two stolen bases over 114 contests.

Clement went 1-for-3 with a walk, two RBI, one run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Red Sox.

Clement drove in runs in the second and eighth innings while also adding his fifth stolen base of the season. The 30-year-old has tallied four RBI over his past four games, though he's posted a lowly .469 OPS through 12 August contests. For the year, he's slashing .282/.306/.406 with nine homers, 46 RBI, 50 runs scored and five steals across 480 plate appearances.

Torres went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Guardians.

Torres was the only Detroit player with multiple hits and he also delivered his eighth home run of the season in the third inning, which gave the Tigers a short-lived 3-2 lead. The veteran infielder batted leadoff for the first time since Aug. 2, with Kevin McGonigle sliding down from first to third in the lineup against lefty Foster Griffin. Whether he's batting leadoff or not, Torres should regularly occupy a spot near the top of Detroit's order most days, and he should remain a steady if not spectacular fantasy performer.

Young was removed from Wednesday's game against the Yankees due to dizziness, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Young went 1-for-4 with a run scored before coming out of the game in the seventh inning. Leo Rivas would likely be next in line to start at second base if Young needs to miss additional time, but he doesn't seem to be dealing with anything that would require an IL stint.

Seigler is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Seigler is back on the bench for a second straight day while the Red Sox go with Nick Sogard at second base. Prior to Tuesday, Seigler had covered the keystone in four of the Red Sox's previous five contests, but his uptick in playing time appears to have been mostly the result of Willson Contreras and Masataka Yoshida missing out on two starts apiece due to illness.

McKinstry is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

The Tigers will keep McKinstry on the bench along with fellow left-handed hitter Colt Keith while southpaw Foster Griffin takes the hill for the Guardians. Corey Julks was called up from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday and will step in for McKinstry in right field in his Tigers debut.

Bazzana is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

The left-handed-hitting Bazzana will be left out of the lineup for the second time in the Guardians' last three matchups versus a left-handed starting pitcher. Angel Genao will fill in at second base for Bazzana, who is slashing just .192/.306/.240 (65 wRC+) over 121 plate appearances versus same-handed pitching this season.

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.

McNeil is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

McNeil will take a seat for the series finale after he had started in each of the previous three contests and served as the Athletics' table setter in the past two games. Tommy White will fill in for McNeil at first base Wednesday, while shortstop Donovan Walton receives a look out of the leadoff spot.

Altuve (foot) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's tilt in San Francisco.

Altuve departed Tuesday's 4-1 loss after being hit on the left foot by a pitch. Astros manager Joe Espada said Wednesday that Altuve remains sore and will be evaluated by team doctors when the team returns home this weekend, according to Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle. Nick Allen will fill in for Altuve at second base Wednesday.
