  • White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Taking seat against lefty

    Montgomery is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

    Montgomery will hit the bench along with fellow left-handed hitter Sam Antonacci while southpaw MacKenzie Gore takes the hill for Texas. Luisangel Acuna will spell Montgomery at shortstop and will bat ninth.

  • Drew Romo C | CHW

    White Sox's Drew Romo: Resting up Wednesday

    Romo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

    Romo will hit the bench after he went 1-for-7 with a walk and a run scored while starting behind the dish in the first two contests of the series. Jake Rogers will handle catching duties Wednesday.

  • Jake Burger 1B | TEX

    Rangers' Jake Burger: Idle for series finale

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

    After making an early exit from Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Angels due to a left wrist contusion, Burger proceeded to start in the Rangers' ensuing three games and went 3-for-10 with two home runs, one double, four walks, one steal and three RBI. The wrist issue evidently isn't affecting his power production, but the Rangers will give Burger a maintenance day nonetheless for the series finale in Chicago. Joc Pederson will spell Burger at first base.

  • Bryan Woo SP | SEA

    Mariners' Bryan Woo: Stumbles vs. Phillies

    Woo (9-9) took the loss Wednesday against the Phillies, allowing six runs on five hits and a walk over four innings. He struck out five.

    Woo was limited to 76 pitches Wednesday after missing his last start due to shoulder soreness, though he may have gotten an early hook regardless -- the Phillies tagged Woo for six runs over the first two frames, highlighted by a pair of home runs. In his previous three starts, Woo had given up just two runs across 18 innings while posting a 0.67 WHIP. His ERA now sits at 4.36 on the season with a 1.10 WHIP and 142:30 K:BB over 25 starts (142.1 innings). Woo will look to bounce back his next time out, which is tentatively lined up for next week in Boston.

  • Erik Sabrowski RP | CLE

    Guardians' Erik Sabrowski: Notches first save

    Sabrowski earned the save in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Angels, allowing a hit while striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning.

    With Cade Smith unavailable after pitching the previous two days, it was Sabrowski who got the call in the ninth inning Wednesday, tasked with protecting a one-run lead. The southpaw gave up an infield single to lead off the frame, but he rebounded to retire the next three batters en route to his first save this season. Sabrowski has been excellent of late, holding opponents scoreless in 10 straight appearances (eight innings) while claiming a high-leverage role in the Guardians' bullpen. Sabrowski's ERA is down to 3.00 through 39 innings this year with a 1.26 WHIP and 65:25 K:BB.

  • Angels' Grayson Rodriguez: Sharp in no-decision

    Rodriguez didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Guardians, allowing a run on seven hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out four.

    It was a strong outing from Rodriguez, who held Cleveland to just one run on a fifth-inning sacrifice fly. The 26-year-old right-hander has been sharp recently, giving up just one run over 12.2 frames in his last two starts. Rodriguez's ERA now sits at 6.03 through 15 starts (71.2 innings) this season with a 1.52 WHIP and 65:31 K:BB. He's currently in line to face the Yankees at home his next time out.

  • Joey Cantillo SP | CLE

    Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Issues seven walks Wednesday

    Cantillo didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Angels, allowing three runs (two earned) on two hits and seven walks across six innings. He struck out one.

    Cantillo somehow managed to turn in a quality start Wednesday despite issuing a career-high seven walks -- the southpaw allowed three runs over the first two innings before bearing down to blank the Halos over his final four frames. Command has been a struggle for Cantillo this season -- his 70 walks tie Robbie Ray for most given up in the majors. However, Cantillo's held opponents to just four earned runs across 16.2 frames in his last three outings, as he's lowered his ERA to 3.70 with a 1.45 WHIP and 145 strikeouts across 28 starts (136.1 innings) this season. Cantillo is currently in line to face the Blue Jays at home his next time out.

  • Jack Leiter SP | TEX

    Rangers' Jack Leiter: Set for third rehab appearance

    Leiter (ankle) will make the third appearance of his rehab assignment Wednesday with Triple-A Round Rock.

    Through his first two rehab starts -- one with Round Rock, one with Double-A Frisco -- Leiter has posted an 8:3 K:BB over 5.2 innings while yielding five runs (four earned) and four hits. He tossed 59 pitches in his most recent outing with Frisco and will look to build on that workload Wednesday before potentially making his return from the 60-day injured list. Leiter has been on the shelf since June 21 after undergoing arthroscopic surgery two days later to address a loose body near his right ankle region.

  • Luis Vazquez 3B | BAL

    Orioles' Luis Vazquez: Contract selected by Baltimore

    The Orioles selected Vazquez's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.

    The move corresponds with the Orioles placing Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list. Vazquez has spent the entire 2026 season in the minors and most of the year at Triple-A, where he is slashing .225/.272/.360 with seven steals, six home runs and 18 RBI over 194 plate appearances. He has the versatility to play multiple infield positions, with most of his reps this season coming at shortstop.
