Soderstrom (groin) will start in left field and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

Soderstrom was out of the lineup for the previous five games with groin tightness, but he picked up two hits off the bench in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox and is back in the lineup Wednesday. The 23-year-old is slashing .349/.408/.566 since the beginning of August.

Refsnyder will start in right field and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

The right-handed-hitting Refsnyder traditionally sees his playing time versus lefties. However, injuries to Roman Anthony (oblique) and Wilyer Abreu (calf) have afforded Refsnyder some reps against right-handed pitching, as he'll be making his second straight start versus a righty and fourth consecutive start overall. The 34-year-old Refsnyder is slashing .303/.410/.576 in 11 contests since returning from the injured list Aug. 28.

Benintendi is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Benintendi will get a breather for the matinee contest after he had started in each of the White Sox's last five games. Will Robertson will spell Benintendi in left field and will bat seventh.

Taylor will start in center field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Brooks Baldwin will be getting the afternoon off after he returned to the lineup Tuesday following a three-game absence due to a hip injury, so Taylor will get the call in center in the series finale. Taylor has played sparingly in the first half of September, making six starts while going 6-for-27 (.222 average) at the dish.

Baldwin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Baldwin had missed three straight starts due to a hip injury but returned to the lineup for Tuesday's 8-7 loss, occupying center field while going hitless in three at-bats. He doesn't appear to be dealing with a setback coming out of Tuesday's contest, but Baldwin will rest Wednesday while the White Sox wrap up their series with Baltimore with a day game.

Cowser is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

The left-handed-hitting Cowser will take a seat for Wednesday's matinee while the White Sox send southpaw Martin Perez to the bump. Jorge Mateo will check in for Cowser in center field and will bat ninth.

Carpenter appeared as a pinch hitter and went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-5, 10-inning loss to the Guardians.

Carpenter didn't get the start with Cleveland sending lefty Joey Cantillo to the mound, but the former still managed to have an impact. Appearing as a pinch hitter in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Detroit outfielder went deep to tie the game at 3-3 and force extra innings. Carpenter has been in a nice power groove recently with four long balls in his last 10 games, and he's already set a new career high with 26 home runs this season.

Grisham went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 10-9 win over the Twins.

Grisham played a big part in Tuesday's slugfest, pacing the Yankees with three RBI. The center fielder is putting together a career-best season, slashing .238/.347/.465 with nine doubles, a triple, 31 homers and 67 RBI through 133 games. The homer and RBI did both break a rare nine-game drought where Grisham was shut out in both categories.

Langford went 0-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Astros.

Langford's steal was his 20th, surpassing the 19 bags he swiped as a rookie in 2024. The theft also cemented his first 20-homer/20-steal season, likely the first of many to come for the 23-year-old.

Canzone went 5-for-5 with three homers and four RBI in Tuesday's 12-5 victory over the Royals.

Canzone turned in a career night Tuesday, recording a hit in every at-bat and notching the first three-homer game of his career. The outfielder is heating up at the perfect time, going 8-for-10 with a double, three homers and seven RBI over his last two contests. Overall, he's been highly productive when called upon in 2025, carrying an .854 OPS across 72 big-league appearances.
