Vierling is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Vierling will head to the bench after having gone hitless in eight at-bats over his last three games, dropping his average to .208 through 188 plate appearances on the season. Zach McKinstry will get the nod in center field in place of Vierling on Wednesday.

Triple-A Norfolk reinstated Bradfield (hand) from the 7-day injured list Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

The 24-year-old landed on the injured list due to a left hand injury in late April, but he's back in action at Triple-A after a 10-game rehab assignment in the lower minors. Bradfield went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in his first game back with Norfolk on Tuesday and has a .658 OPS through 61 plate appearances at Triple-A this year.

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

Jones hit just .167 while striking out at a 44.4 percent clip during a 10-game stint in the majors back in May, but he's gotten off to a nice start since receiving another call-up to New York last week after Aaron Judge's (rib) placement on the injured list. In his four games (three starts) upon rejoining the Yankees, Jones has gone 6-for-12 with two extra-base hits (one home run, one double) and an 0:4 BB:K. The Yankees will hold the left-handed-hitting Jones out of the lineup Wednesday while southpaw Parker Messick takes the hill for Cleveland, but the 25-year-old rookie should be in line for an extended run as a starter versus right-handed pitching so long as he can hit for power and get on base at a steady rate.

Mesa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

The left-handed-hitting Mesa will remain on the bench for the third time in as many days while the Rays have faced off against left-handed starting pitchers in all three games of their series with the Red Sox. The Rays will go with Austin Slater in right field in place of Mesa, who is batting just .176 with one home run, three RBI and four runs in 12 games for Tampa Bay since being promoted from Triple-A Durham on May 24.

Simpson is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Red Sox.

Simpson returned to the lineup Tuesday after missing three starts with left thumb soreness. He went hitless in that contest and the left-handed hitter will now sit out Wednesday's matinee versus Boston southpaw Jake Bennett. Ryan Vilade will cover left field for the Rays.

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

The Guardians will roll out a right-handed-heavy lineup to counter Yankees southpaw Carlos Rodon in the series finale, so DeLauter will take a seat Wednesday along with fellow lefty hitters Kyle Manzardo and Steven Kwan. Albeit in a small sample of 80 plate appearances, DeLauter has more than held his own against same-handed pitching this season, slashing .342/.388/.452 versus lefties.

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

The Guardians will roll out a right-handed-heavy lineup to counter Yankees southpaw Carlos Rodon in the series finale, so Kwan will take a seat Wednesday along with fellow lefty hitters Chase DeLauter and Kyle Manzardo. Cleveland will go with David Fry in left field in Kwan's stead.

Buxton went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 10-4 loss to the Tigers.

Back in the lineup after a two-game absence due to a shoulder bruise, Buxton was in his usual spot in center field and as the leadoff hitter, and he demonstrated he was healthy by crushing the first pitch he saw from Troy Melton over the fence in left-center field. It was Buxton's 19th homer of the season in 56 games, and he's slashing .255/.316/.554 with five steals, 29 RBI and 42 runs.

Arozarena went 3-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Orioles.

After leading off the Mariners' three-run fourth inning with a single and coming around to score, and then bringing home another run in the seventh, Arozarena capped his big night with a two-run homer off Rico Garcia in the top of the 10th to finally put the game away. The veteran outfielder snapped a 12-game power drought with the performance, but he's come racing out of the gates in June, slashing .367/.472/.533 through the first eight games of the month with two doubles, three steals, five runs and seven RBI.

Montgomery went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI on Tuesday against Atlanta.

Montgomery made his big-league debut Tuesday and hit sixth while starting in right field. He singled in a run in his second at-bat, but his heroic two-run homer in the bottom of the 10th inning was the highlight of his performance. Montgomery is one of the best prospects in the league and should get considerable run in Chicago's outfield moving forward.
