  • Matt Vierling CF | DET

    Tigers' Matt Vierling: Idle Wednesday

    Vierling is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    Vierling will get a breather Wednesday after he started in each of the Tigers' previous three games, including both ends of a doubleheader Sunday. Wenceel Perez will replace Vierling in center field and will bat seventh.

  • Tigers' Kerry Carpenter: Faces live pitching Wednesday

    Carpenter (shoulder) hit in a simulated game Wednesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Carpenter took at-bats against fellow rehabber Justin Verlander (hip) in what was his first time facing live pitching since he went down with an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder in early May. A rehab assignment appears imminent for the 29-year-old Carpenter.

  • Phillies' Gabriel Rincones: Returns from stint on IL

    Rincones (knee) started in right field and went 1-for-5 in his return to the lineup Tuesday in Triple-A Lehigh Valley's 5-4 loss to Buffalo after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list.

    Tuesday marked the 2026 Triple-A debut for Rincones, who had been on the shelf all season while recovering from left knee soreness. Rincones was cleared to rejoin the Triple-A club after going 6-for-33 (.182 average) with a home run, two steals and an 8:9 BB:K over 41 plate appearances in 10 rehab games between Single-A Clearwater and High-A Jersey Shore.

  • Brandon Marsh LF | PHI

    Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Bowing out of lineup Wednesday

    Marsh (finger) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    The Phillies will unsurprisingly keep Marsh on the bench for the series finale Wednesday after the outfielder exited Tuesday's 4-3 win in the fourth inning due to a right middle finger sprain, an injury he initially suffered while diving back to first base on a pickoff attempt in the top of the first. Per Paul Casella of MLB.com, Marsh said he plans to wear mitts on both of his hands as a baserunner to guard against future injuries while sliding, but at this point, the Phillies are viewing his sprained finger as a day-to-day concern and not something that will keep him out of the lineup for long. Philadelphia is off Thursday, so Marsh could be ready to start when the team opens up a three-game series with the Dodgers on Friday.

  • Jo Adell RF | CLE

    Angels' Jo Adell: Slugs eighth homer

    Adell went 1-for-5 with a solo home run against the Tigers in a 10-6 victory Tuesday.

    Adell fanned three times in the contest, but he made his mark with a solo homer to left field in the fourth inning. Punchouts have been a problem for Adell of late -- over his past 12 games, he has a 32.7 percent strikeout rate and has drawn just two walks while batting .133 (6-for-45). Still, Adell's overall 24.0 percent strikeout rate through 55 contests is on pace to be the second-best mark of his career, and he's recorded eight homers, 29 RBI, 19 runs and two stolen bases along with a .245/.293/.392 slash line.

  • Jose Siri LF | LAA

    Angels' Jose Siri: Swats first homer as Angel

    Siri hit a solo home run in his only at-bat during a 10-6 victory versus Detroit on Tuesday.

    Siri entered the contest as a defensive substitute in the eighth inning. He made the most of his lone plate appearance, belting a homer to left field to lead off the top of the ninth. Since joining the Angels' active roster May 16, Siri has played sporadically but has hit well, going 3-for-11 with two extra-base hits (a double and Tuesday's long ball).

  • Nathan Church CF | STL

    Cardinals' Nathan Church: Cleared for strengthening program

    Church (shoulder) received clearance from a specialist Tuesday to start a plyometric and strengthening program, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    It's a necessary first step in Church's rehab, but he's still in the early stages of recovery and there remains no timetable for his return from a left shoulder strain. Lars Nootbaar (heels) appears poised to beat Church back from the injured list, which will likely lead to a dip in playing time for Church after he returns.

  • Giants' Harrison Bader: Taking seat Wednesday

    Bader is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    The Giants will extend Bader a breather after he started in each of the previous five games while going 4-for-18 with a grand slam, a double and a walk during that stretch. Drew Gilbert will fill in for Bader as the Giants' starting center fielder Wednesday.

  • Luke Raley RF | SEA

    Mariners' Luke Raley: Idle against southpaw

    Raley is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

    The Mariners will keep Raley and fellow left-handed hitter Dominic Canzone on the bench for the second game in a row while the Athletics send another lefty starter (Jeffrey Springs) to the hill. Seattle will go with Randy Arozarena as its designated hitter and Rob Refsnyder, Julio Rodriguez and Victor Robles as its starting outfield trio for the series finale in Sacramento.

  • Bryan Torres LF | STL

    Cardinals' Bryan Torres: Fifth straight start in left field

    Torres will start in left field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

    The left-handed-hitting Torres will make his fifth consecutive start in left field since being summoned from Triple-A Memphis. He's gone 5-for-15 with one home run and a 2:2 BB:K in his first four big-league contests. Torres should continue to receive regular playing time for now, though he's likely to head to the bench when Lars Nootbaar (heels) returns next week.
