Jarred Kelenic LF | TEX
White Sox's Jarred Kelenic: Drives in two runs Wednesday
Kelenic went 2-for-3 with a two-run double, a walk and a run scored during the White Sox's 6-5 win over the Royals on Wednesday.
Kelenic broke the 3-3 tie in the fifth inning after smacking a double to right field that brought both Andrew Benintendi and Colson Montgomery home. It was the second multi-hit game of the season for Kelenic, who should continue to see more starts in the outfield as long as both Austin Hays (calf) and Everson Pereira (pectoral) are on the 10-day injured list.

Riley Greene LF | DET
Tigers' Riley Greene: Records three hits Wednesday
Greene went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Wednesday's 3-2, 10-inning loss to the Mets.
Greene provided all of Detroit's offense with a two-run single in the top of the first inning. The star outfielder then tallied two more hits to notch his third three-hit effort of the season. Greene has been excellent with a .325/.419/.487 slash line through 43 games, and he should continue to be the main offensive weapon for the Tigers, giving him plenty of fantasy utility moving forward.

Mike Yastrzemski LF | ATL
Braves' Mike Yastrzemski: Pinch-hit double vs. Cubs
Yastrzemski went 1-for-1 with an RBI double in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Cubs.
The veteran outfielder pinch hit for Jose Azocar in the eighth inning with runners on first and second. Yastrzemski answered the call, lacing a double to right field to bring home Michael Harris before crossing home plate himself on a two-run homer from Mauricio Dubon. Yastrzemski has gone 7-for-21 with one home run, four RBI and five runs scored over his last nine games.

Juan Soto LF | NYM
Mets' Juan Soto: Exits early Wednesday
Soto was removed from Wednesday's game against the Tigers with an apparent ankle injury, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Soto fouled a ball hard off his ankle in the third inning of Wednesday's contest. He looked to be in a considerable amount of pain afterward, but he remained in the game for a few more innings before his eventual removal in the seventh. The Mets will likely have an update on the star outfielder's status after the game, though the fact that he was briefly able to play through the injury is an encouraging sign.

Brandon Nimmo RF | TEX
Rangers' Brandon Nimmo: Returning to lineup
Nimmo (ankle) will start in right field and bat second Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.
Nimmo was lifted from Tuesday's 7-4 win in the sixth inning after spraining his left ankle earlier in the game when he tried to leg out an infield single. According to Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News, Nimmo's status heading into Wednesday's series finale was a question mark, but he's been given the green light to start after completing a pregame running workout. After leading off in his first 39 starts of the season, Nimmo will occupy the No. 2 spot for the second day in a row while designated hitter Joc Pederson serves as the Rangers' table setter.

Owen Caissie RF | MIA
Marlins' Owen Caissie: Rejoining lineup Wednesday
Caissie (triceps) will start in right field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Twins.
Caissie will rejoin the starting nine for the first time since Saturday, after left triceps discomfort kept him on the bench for the previous two contests. Before the injury cropped up, Caissie had gotten off to an underwhelming start to the 2026 campaign, slashing just .198/.254/.317 with a 41.2 percent strikeout rate over 114 plate appearances.

Ramon Laureano LF | SD
Padres' Ramon Laureano: On bench again Wednesday
Laureano is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.
The Padres will hold Laureano out of the starting nine for the second time in three games while he has yet to break out of an extended funk at the plate. Over his last 24 contests, Laureano has struck out at least once in every contest while slashing a porous .181/.278/.313. With Laureano on the bench Wednesday, the Padres will go with Gavin Sheets, Jackson Merrill and Nick Castellanos as their starters in the outfield from left to right.
-
Harrison Bader CF | SF
Giants' Harrison Bader: Sitting vs. Ohtani
Bader is not in the Giants' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Wednesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
With the Dodgers sending Shohei Ohtani to the mound, Bader will be on the bench for the beginning of Wednesday's game while the Giants start Heliot Ramos, Drew Gilbert and Jung Hoo Lee in the outfield from left to right. Bader has gone 3-for-11 with a solo home run and a double over his last three games.

Trevor Larnach LF | MIN
Twins' Trevor Larnach: Sitting down Wednesday
Larnach isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
Larnach has gone 8-for-30 (.267) with three RBI, two runs scored and a steal since the start of May, but the Twins will hold him out of the starting nine Wednesday. While he sits, Austin Martin, Byron Buxton and Matt Wallner will form Minnesota's outfield trio.
