Bellinger went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double, a walk and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 10-5 win over the White Sox.

With Aaron Judge (ribs) sitting on the shelf, Bellinger continues to help hold down the fort in New York's lineup. The star outfielder has gone 16-for-51 (.314) in June, racking up three homers, 11 RBI, three stolen bases and eight runs scored this month. Through 308 trips to the dish, Bellinger is slashing a robust .280/.373/.487 with 11 long balls, 49 RBI, eight pilfers and 45 runs scored as a five-category fantasy contributor.

Rave went 2-for-4 with a triple, a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Nationals.

The second-inning long ball off Zack Littell was Rave's first of the season in the majors, while the three-bagger was his first in the majors in his 74th career game. Rave got called up over the weekend to supply outfield depth while Kyle Isbel (foot) and Vinnie Pasquantino (hand) are on the shelf, but performances like this could earn the 28-year-old more playing time against right-handed pitching. Through 60 games with Triple-A Omaha prior to his promotion, Rave was slashing .278/.395/.475 with 10 homers and 16 steals.

Carpenter went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Astros.

The seventh-inning blast for Carpenter was his 10th of the season and fourth this month across 13 games. The 30-year-old outfielder is now sporting a .946 OPS in June, and he continues to do most of his damage against righties. On the season, Carpenter has an .832 OPS in those matchups versus only a .490 OPS in limited action against southpaws.

Cortes isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

Cortes will get a chance to regroup Wednesday after going 0-for-8 with five strikeouts across the first two games of the series. While he sits, Lawrence Butler will start in right field and Shea Langeliers will serve as the DH, putting Jonah Heim behind the plate.

Raley (back) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's matchup against Baltimore.

Raley will sit for the second consecutive game versus the Orioles since his back tightness has yet to be relieved. The outfield will consist of Connor Joe in left, Julio Rodriguez in center and Victor Robles in right for Wednesday's contest.

Jones is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

The Yankees will go with a right-handed-heavy lineup to counter White Sox southpaw Anthony Kay, so Jones will retreat to the bench along with fellow left-handed hitters Ryan McMahon and J.C. Escarra. Amed Rosario will step in for McMahon at third base and will bat third. After covering left field Tuesday in the series opener, Cody Bellinger will slide over to center in place of Jones on Wednesday.

The Guardians placed DeLauter (rib) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Since his IL stint is retroactive to Sunday, DeLauter will be eligible for activation June 24, but a return in the minimum amount of time could prove to be ambitious for the outfielder after an MRI on Tuesday revealed a small right side rib fracture in addition to bone bruising. Cleveland recalled Kahlil Watson from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move, but he'll be on the bench Wednesday against the Brewers while the Guardians go with Steven Kwan, Petey Halpin and David Fry as their starting outfielders. A clearer target date for DeLauter's return should emerge once he's able to resume full baseball activities.

Peters is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

After Peters started in each of the White Sox's last 10 games, manager Will Venable has elected to give the left-handed-hitting outfielder a breather while the Yankees send southpaw Carlos Rodon to the bump. Peters has been an unsung hero in the White Sox's surprise 38-33 start to the season. While the 26-year-old rookie hasn't provided much in the way of counting statistics with three home runs, four stolen bases, 22 runs and 21 RBI in 68 games, he's produced a strong .294/.352/.450 slash line across 200 plate appearances.

Pinango is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

The left-handed-hitting Pinango will be on the bench once again Wednesday while the Red Sox send a lefty starter (Jake Bennett) to the hill for the second straight day. Toronto will roll out a starting outfield of Davis Schneider, Myles Straw and Jesus Sanchez from left to right in the penultimate game of the series.

Lukes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

With southpaw Jake Bennett on the bump for Boston, the left-handed-hitting Lukes will retreat to the bench after he had started each of the last seven games while going 8-for-28 (.286 average) with two runs and one RBI. Toronto will work with a starting outfield of Davis Schneider, Myles Straw and Jesus Sanchez from left to right.
