Baldwin will start at third base and bat eighth in Thursday's game against the Mariners.

After being withheld from the lineup in four consecutive games last week, Baldwin appears to have moved back into a near-everyday role. He'll collect his fifth straight start Thursday -- all of which have come at third base -- after going 6-for-12 with a double, two walks and a run scored in the previous four contests.

Butler is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.

The Athletics appear to be treating the left-handed-hitting Butler as a strong-side platoon player at this point; he'll be on the bench for the third time in four games, with all of his absences coming against southpaw starters. With Butler bowing out of the lineup, Colby Thomas will step in as the Athletics' starting center fielder.

Taylor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a loss to the Mariners on Wednesday.

Taylor gave the White Sox some hope when he began the ninth inning with a solo shot off All-Star closer Andres Munoz to narrow his team's deficit to two runs. It was the veteran outfielder's sixth long ball of the campaign and just his second over his past 29 games. Taylor certainly needed to wake up his bat -- he's played sparingly of late and entered Wednesday in a 2-for-22 slump.

Rodriguez went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, an additional run and a walk Wednesday in an 8-6 win against the White Sox.

Rodriguez contributed to Chicago starter Jonathan Cannon's rough outing by clubbing a 434-foot, three-run homer in the second inning. The talented young outfielder has really perked up in the power department of late, going deep seven times over his past 13 contests. Rodriguez is at 21 long balls and 21 thefts on the season, making him one of just five big-leaguers to reach the 20-20 mark thus far.

Roden went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 9-4 win over the Tigers.

Roden singled and scored in the first inning before launching his first home run with the Twins in the sixth. In six games since being acquired at the trade deadline, the 25-year-old has gone just 3-for-18 with an 0:8 BB:K. For the year, he's slashing .198/.273/.319 with two home runs, nine RBI and 15 runs scored across 132 plate appearances between Minnesota and Toronto.

Soderstrom went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to Washington.

Soderstrom went yard for the 20th time this season Wednesday. While he's cooled down a bit since taking the major leagues by storm with a .989 OPS through April 25, the 23-year-old slugger has remained very productive of late. Across 109 plate appearances since the beginning of July, Soderstrom is slashing .275/.321/.549 with six homers, 10 doubles and 19 RBI.

DeLuca was removed in the sixth inning of Wednesday's game against the Angels due to left hamstring tightness, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

DeLuca went 1-for-3 with a triple before being replaced by Jake Mangum in center field. DeLuca -- who has seen regular playing time in the oufield over the past week -- will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury, and the Rays should provide an update after Wednesday's contest.

Schneider went 3-for-7 with two home runs, a double and four total RBI in Wednesday's 20-1 win over the Rockies.

Schneider extended Toronto's lead to 7-1 with a solo shot off Angel Chivilli in the sixth inning before piling on in the ninth with a 454-foot, three-run blast off position-player Austin Nola. The 26-year-old Schneider has racked up four extra-base hits in his last two games after going just 4-for-20 with no extra-base knocks in his previous nine contests. Overall, Schneider is slashing a respectable .239/.368/.469 with seven homers, 21 RBI and 20 runs scored across 136 plate appearances this season.

Greene, who went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Wednesday's loss to the Twins, is now batting just .171 in 17 games since the All-Star break.

Outside of a three-hit game with a home run on July 29, Greene has only nine hits and one long ball in the second half of the season, and he's struck out 28 times. The All-Star starter was excellent before the break, and he still leads the team with 26 home runs and 84 RBI, but he is scuffling at the moment. The Tigers have a day off Thursday, which could help Greene reset before a weekend series against the Angels.

Carpenter went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 9-4 loss to the Twins.

Carpenter now has three home runs through just six games this month and 20 for the season, which matches his career high from 2023. Since his return from the injured list on July 27, the slugging outfielder has been red hot with a .407 batting average and eight extra-base hits across nine contests. Carpenter remains vulnerable against left-handed pitching, but he's otherwise been a fantasy force in 2025, particularly lately.
