Mullins is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The left-handed-hitting Mullins will hit the bench for the third time in four games while the Royals send southpaw Noah Cameron to the bump. Jonny DeLuca will fill in for Mullins in center field and bat second.

The Angels recalled Lowe from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday. He'll start in center field and bat eighth in the Angels' series finale with the Orioles.

Lowe opened the season on the strong side of a platoon in left field, but the Angels demoted him to Triple-A on May 22 after he struggled to a .184/.226/.320 slash line with a 29.1 percent strikeout rate over 134 plate appearances. While handling a regular role for Salt Lake over the past month, Lowe has trimmed his strikeout rate to 26.2 percent while producing a 1.014 OPS, though that strong production comes with the caveat that he did his damage in hitter-friendly parks in the Pacific Coast League. He received a call-up to the Angels nonetheless, though Lowe may be in store for only a short-term stay with the big club after everyday center fielder Jose Siri (personal) was placed on the paternity list in a corresponding move.

Adell is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Manager Kurt Suzuki will give Adell and shortstop Zach Neto breathers for the matinee contest after both players started in every game dating back to June 5. Wade Meckler will shift over from his usual spot in left field to cover right field in Adell's stead.

The Angels placed Siri on the paternity list Wednesday.

Siri will have to miss between one and three games while he's on the paternity list, so he'll be back with the Angels no later than Sunday's series finale versus the Athletics. The Angels called up Josh Lowe from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move, and he'll take Siri's spot in center field during Wednesday's game against the Orioles. Siri had covered center in each of the Angels' last seven games, going 5-for-22 with a home run, a walk, a stolen base, four RBI and five runs during that stretch.

Interim manager Chad Tracy said Wednesday that Anthony (finger/wrist) hasn't made any substantive progress in his recovery back in Boston since the Red Sox began their road trip last weekend, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Though a recent MRI on a partially torn tendon in his right ring finger showed healing, Anthony is still experiencing some discomfort that has prevented him from initiating a hitting progression. He'll simply have to wait until the pain subsides before he can make any meaningful strides in his recovery, leaving Anthony without a definitive timeline for a return. The young outfielder has been on the shelf since May 7.

Duran is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Duran went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts in Tuesday's 5-2 win, leaving him hitless over his last four starts and bringing his season-long average down to .199, which places him 150th among the majors' 153 qualified hitters. The left-handed-hitting Duran's fortunes were unlikely to take a turn for the better with southpaw Kyle Freeland on the mound Wednesday, so the struggling outfielder will head to the bench after a stretch of 46 consecutive starts. Nate Eaton will take over Duran's spot in left field and will bat leadoff.

The Yankees recalled Cabrera from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.

He's taking the roster spot vacated by Ryan McMahon, who was moved to the injured list due to a throat infection. Cabrera missed all of the 2025 season while recovering from ankle surgery and had spent all of 2026 at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to this point, slashing.271/.330/.397 with seven home runs and six steals in 68 games. Cabrera could see some action at third base while McMahon is shelved.

Halpin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the White Sox.

Halpin had started each of the previous four contests in center field, but he will begin Wednesday's game on the bench. Steven Kwan will cover center field Wednesday, and David Fry will patrol left field.

Smith went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Blue Jays.

Smith extended the Astros' lead to 3-0 with a 436-foot blast off Shane Bieber in the fourth inning, his eighth homer of the year, before adding a second RBI with a sacrifice fly that tied the game 6-6 in the ninth. The homer was Smith's first in 10 games -- he'd gone 7-for-33 (.212) in his previous nine contests. Overall, Smith is slashing .223/.301/.366 with 28 RBI, 31 runs scored and eight stolen bases across 299 plate appearances this season.

Trammell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-7 win over Toronto.

Trammell extended Houston's lead to 4-0 in the fourth inning with his 421-foot blast off Shane Bieber, his first homer this season. Trammell had gone just 2-for-14 in his previous 10 games entering Tuesday and had been relegated to a bench role since Joey Loperfido was recalled from Triple-A in early June. Tuesday's start was Trammell's first in over a week. Overall, the outfielder is slashing .275/.333/.400 with eight RBI and 10 runs scored over 88 plate appearances this season.
