Valera (calf) started in right field for Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday and went 0-for-4 with a walk.

Valera had been scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, but it was pushed back a day. He last appeared in a game for the Guardians during spring training on March 9 and likely will need a few more plate appearances while on rehab. Once ready to go, Valera is expected to rejoin the Guardians.

Isbel went 4-for-4 with a solo home run, a second RBI, a stolen base and three total runs scored in Wednesday's 13-9 win over the Twins.

Isbel has homered in his last two games, and he's hit safely in all four of his contests so far. He's batting .571 (8-for-14) with two homers, four RBI, four runs scored and three stolen bases. Isbel hit .255 with a .654 OPS over 135 regular-season games in 2025, so there's unlikely to be much power in his bat, but he should be able to top his four homers from last year. Isbel's strong defense should help him maintain a regular role in center field once the hitting drops off.

Anthony went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Astros.

After starting the game on the bench, Anthony came on as a pinch hitter in the top of the ninth and launched an opposite-field homer off a Bryan Abreu two-strike slider, his first long ball this season. While Boston's comeback bid would fall short, Anthony's homer is certainly a positive sign -- the outfielder had gone 0-for-12 with eight strikeouts in his previous three contests.

DeLauter (foot) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

DeLauter was forced to depart Tuesday's contest versus Los Angeles after fouling a ball off his left foot. X-rays came back negative, but with the Guardians having an off day looming Thursday, it makes sense to hold DeLauter out Wednesday for the final game of the road trip and give him two straight rest days. Angel Martinez will patrol right field and bat second for Cleveland in the rubber match.

Beavers went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Rangers.

The 24-year-old outfielder launched his first homer of the year in the sixth inning, ripping a Carter Baumler fastball over the fence in right field. Beavers has been used exclusively against right-handed pitching to begin the season, seeing action in all three outfield spots. He's batting .286 (4-for-14) in that role with a double, a homer, three RBI and three runs.

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

With the Twins facing a lefty starter (Noah Cameron) for the second day in a row, the left-handed-hitting Larnach will head to the bench for another game. Austin Martin will take Larnach's spot in left field and will bat leadoff.

Pereira was removed from Wednesday's game against the Marlins ahead of the bottom of the fifth inning due to left ankle soreness.

Pereira struck out in both of his trips to the plate and may have tweaked the ankle while batting in the top of the fifth. Derek Hill stepped in as the replacement in right field for Pereira, whom the White Sox are viewing as day-to-day heading into their three-game series with Toronto that begins Friday.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

The left-handed-hitting Lowe will sit for the first time this season while the Angels face off against a lefty (Matthew Boyd) for the series finale in Chicago. Bryce Teodosio will spell Lowe in left field and will bat ninth.

Peters will start in center field and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Austin Hays will rest for the series finale, opening up room in the outfield for Peters. The 26-year-old will be making his fifth consecutive start, after opening the season by going 4-for-12 with a double, a stolen base, a run and a 2:6 BB:K. Though Peters isn't necessarily locked into an everyday role, the White Sox could continue to open up starts for him by building in occasional rest days for veterans such as Hays and Andrew Benintendi.

Varsho is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

With a lefty (Kyle Freeland) on the hill for Colorado and the Blue Jays wrapping up their season-opening homestand with a day game after a night game, the left-handed-hitting Varsho will receive a breather Wednesday. Myles Straw will step in for Varsho in center field and will bat eighth.
