Antonacci is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Cleveland.

Antonacci plays against most lefties, but he'll take a seat Wednesday as the Guardians send southpaw Parker Messick to the hill. Randal Grichuk is in left field, and Tommy Pham will serve as the designated hitter for the White Sox.

Montgomery is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Cleveland.

Montgomery has been held out of the lineup for two straight contests (both against lefties) and in three of the past four games. The rookie outfielder is sporting a .495 OPS thus far in September. Tristan Peters will shift to right field Wednesday while Brenton Doyle patrols center field for the White Sox.

Martinez (side) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the White Sox.

Martinez suffered a right side injury during Tuesday's contest. He seems to have avoided a serious injury, but with it being an afternoon game Wednesday ahead of an off day Thursday, Martinez will receive some rest. Steven Kwan is handling left field and Petey Halpin will patrol center field for the Guardians.

DeLauter (wrist) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the White Sox.

DeLauter experienced a setback with his right wrist injury during Monday's game, and he will now sit out a second straight contest. The Guardians are idle Thursday, but with the nature of the injury, it's not a given DeLauter is ready to play by Friday versus the Athletics.

Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt said Tuesday that Martinez "avoided something major" after exiting Monday's loss with discomfort in his side, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Martinez was held out of Tuesday's game as was Chase DeLauter (wrist), which led to Petey Halpin drawing a start in the outfield. Martinez has a .248/.285/.443 slash line in 2026 and has improved his OPS by 100 points from 2025.

Halpin started in center field and went 0-for-4 in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the White Sox.

Halpin was in the lineup as both Chase DeLauter (wrist) and Angel Martinez (side) were held back. When all hands are healthy, Halpin usually works as a pinch runner, pinch hitter or defensive replacement. He's been grinding the last month, going 9-for-49 (.188) over his last 25 games.

Meckler went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Mariners.

Meckler logged his first multi-hit effort in nine games with this performance. He's picked up a pair of steals over his last four contests and now has eight steals on the year. The outfielder is batting .297 with a .760 OPS, three home runs, 26 RBI, 39 runs scored and 14 doubles over 87 contests while primarily playing in a strong-side platoon role.

Lowe went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Mariners.

Lowe went deep off Logan Gilbert in the sixth inning, and that play was the difference in the game. After doubling his hit total for the month, Lowe is 4-for-20 (.200) across 11 games in September while filling a part-time role. He's batting .210 with a .644 OPS, 12 homers, 29 RBI, 28 runs scored, eight doubles and nine stolen bases across 104 contests this season.

Adell went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during the Guardians' 7-6 win over the Guardians on Tuesday.

In a crucial game for control of the AL Central division, Adell got the Guardians on the board early with a two-run homer off Chris Murphy in the first inning. Adell has gone deep in two of his last three outings and has reached base safely in seven of his last eight games, going 9-for-33 (.273) with six RBI, four extra-base hits and seven runs scored in that span.

Clark went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 10-1 win over the Blue Jays.

The rookie outfielder extended his hitting streak to six games with another dynamic performance, and he's now batting a solid .278 this year with an .805 OPS. Clark is really hitting his stride in September, as he's batting .366 across 12 contests this month with a 1.041 OPS. While he didn't steal a base Tuesday, Clark has also swiped four bags this month. The youngster offers a tantalizing mix of power and speed, and the sky is the limit moving forward for the former No. 3 overall pick as he continues to acclimate to the MLB level.
