Beavers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

With the Orioles facing a left-handed starter (Eduardo Rodriguez) for the first time this season, manager Craig Albernaz will counter the Diamondbacks with a lineup featuring eight right-handed bats. Along with Beavers, fellow left-handed hitters Colton Cowser and Samuel Basallo will hit the bench for the series finale, paving the way for Sam Huff, Johnathan Rodriguez and Weston Wilson to make their first starts with the Orioles.

Abreu is out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Minnesota.

Abreu will receive his first breather of the season in a planned day off. Roman Anthony will occupy right field, Jarren Duran will play left field, and Masataka Yoshida will serve as the designated hitter as the Red Sox try to avoid the sweep.

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

The left-handed-hitting Larnach will sit for the second time in the series while the Red Sox send another southpaw (Connelly Early) to the bump for the finale. A career .215/.276/.317 hitter against lefties, Larnach will likely continue to see limited exposure to same-handed pitching throughout the season.

Adell went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Yankees.

Mike Trout, Adell and Jorge Soler went back-to-back-to-back with solo shots in the top of the first inning against left-hander Ryan Weathers. Adell's homer was just his second of the season, as his flyball and hard-hit rates are down to begin the 2026 campaign. Even with the depressed rates, Adell is still getting on base and finding holes in the defense, as he's slashing .315/.351/.411 with the two long balls, eight RBI, eight runs scored, one stolen base and a 1:13 BB:K across 77 plate appearances.

Varsho went 2-for-5 with a solo home run during the Blue Jays' 9-7 extra-inning win over the Brewers on Tuesday.

Varsho cut the Blue Jays' deficit to 3-2 after belting a solo homer off Jacob Misiorowski in the sixth inning. It was Varsho's third long ball of the season, which have all come over his last four outings. He has reached base safely in 10 straight games since April 3, and over that span he has gone 12-for-39 (.308) with one steal and six RBI.

Pereira went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer and two strikeouts during the White Sox's 8-5 loss to the Rays on Tuesday.

Pereira was activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game after recovering from an ankle sprain. He struck out in his first at-bat in the first, but he emphatically put the White Sox on the board in the third, when he took the first pitch he saw from Shane McClanahan deep to left-center field for a three-run shot. Pereira saw regular playing time in the outfield prior to his stint on the injured list and should continue to do so, at least for as long as Austin Hays (hamstring) is on the 10-day IL.

Vilade went 3-for-5 with an RBI double and three runs scored during the Rays' 8-5 win over the White Sox on Tuesday.

Vilade put the Rays on the board with an RBI double to left field in the first. He came home to score in the same frame and tallied runs in the third and seventh frames. It was Vilade's first multi-hit game of the season and first since July 14, 2024, as a member of the Tigers. It was just his fourth start of the regular season, but his versatility to play in both the infield and outfield should allow him to see the field fairly often this year.

Collins was removed from Tuesday's game against the Tigers with a right knee contusion.

Collins ran into the fence and fell into the stands while attempting to catch a foul ball in the first inning and came down awkwardly on his shoulder/head. He seems to have escaped the incident with nothing other than a bruised knee, so an extended absence shouldn't be necessary. Tyler Tolbert entered the game as Collins' replacement, though Michael Massey and Lane Thomas would also be in the mix for extra playing time if Collins has to miss any starts.

Langford (quadriceps) will serve as Texas' designated hitter and bat second against the Athletics on Tuesday.

Langford managed to avoid a trip to the injured list after suffering a right quad strain Friday, and he'll now return to the starting nine following a three-game absence. The 24-year-old has started slowly this season, slashing just .170/.185/.340 with a homer, three RBI and four runs scored through his first 54 plate appearances. He'll have an opportunity to turn things around Tuesday, however, as lefty Jeffrey Springs will be on the mound for the A's, and Langford boasts an .828 OPS against southpaws in his MLB career.

Rafaela is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Rafaela started the previous seven games and collected a hit in each contest, going 8-for-22 with a double, two RBI and four runs during that span. He'll receive a day off Tuesday while Jarren Duran shifts to center field and Roman Anthony to left, opening up the DH spot for Masataka Yoshida.
