Antonacci went 3-for-4 with a walk, three RBI and two runs scored Wednesday against the Twins.

Antonacci delivered the first three-hit game of his MLB career Wednesday, tallying three singles that drove in two runs in the second and one more in the fifth. The 23-year-old now has 22 runs scored through 38 games. The rookie's strong contact and on-base skills (.287 average and .389 on-base percentage) have vaulted him up to the leadoff spot, where he's made his past eight starts.

Buxton went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 15-2 loss to the White Sox.

Buxton hit his team-leading 17th home run to lead off the game against impressive rookie hurler David Sandlin. The Silver Slugger started his third straight game at designated hitter as he deals with right hip soreness and an issue in his right throwing shoulder. Since missing five days because of the hip issue, Buxton has gone 7-for-28 with two home runs and four RBI in seven games.

Rafaela went 3-for-5 with two RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 8-0 win over Atlanta.

The 25-year-old center fielder posted his fourth three-hit effort of the campaign Wednesday as well as his 11th multi-hit showing. Rafaela has hit safely in 17 of his 23 outings in the month of May, now slashing a healthy .285/.350/.441 with 16 extra-base hits, 23 RBI, 23 runs scored and four stolen bases across 197 plate appearances overall in 2026.

Refsnyder went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the A's.

Refsnyder put the Mariners ahead early with a two-out, three-run blast off Jeffrey Springs in the first inning, his third homer this year. Refsnyder has logged hits in back-to-back games on the heels of a 1-for-27 slump that spanned his previous 13 contests. Overall, the veteran outfielder is slashing .122/.200/.243 with eight RBI and seven runs scored across 85 plate appearances while manning the short side of a platoon with Luke Raley and Dominic Canzone.

Grisham is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Though he started in Tuesday's 15-1 win while lefty Bailey Falter opened the game for Kansas City, the left-handed-hitting Grisham will hit the bench while the Royals go with a more traditional lefty starter in Noah Cameron for Wednesday's contest. Cody Bellinger will slide over to center field in place of Grisham, while Jose Caballero will start in left field for the first time this season to open up shortstop for Anthony Volpe.

Beavers (oblique) hit in the batting cage Wednesday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

It's the first time he's hit in the cage since going down with a right oblique strain in mid-May. Whether Beavers is asked to go out on a rehab assignment before rejoining the Orioles' active roster isn't clear, but he appears close to participating in a game setting of some kind.

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

The Royals often hold the left-handed-hitting Isbel out of the lineup against southpaws, but he'll take a seat against right-hander Gerrit Cole in the series finale. Lane Thomas will replace Isbel in center field and will bat sixth.

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

Mesa will head to the bench after he went 2-for-8 with a home run and a walk over the first two games of the series in Baltimore. While Ryan Vilade will get the nod in right field Wednesday against Orioles righty Trey Gibson, the left-handed-hitting Mesa is the better bet to see the bulk of the starts versus righties while he's up with the big club.

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

The White Sox will shield the left-handed-hitting Nishida from Twins southpaw Connor Prielipp and will go with Randal Grichuk in right field in place of the rookie. After being called up from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, Nishida opened his MLB career with a pair of starts against Minnesota and went 2-for-7 with a run scored between those contests. Nishida looks like he'll get a look as a strong-side platoon outfielder after the White Sox designated Jarred Kelenic for assignment Monday.

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

He had been included in the lineup the last time the White Sox faced a lefty starter (the Giants' Robbie Ray) on Sunday, but the left-handed-hitting Peters will bow out of the starting nine Wednesday while southpaw Connor Prielipp takes the hill for Minnesota. Luisangel Acuna will receive the nod in center field in place of Peters.
