Jac Caglianone is not in the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the division-rival Guardians.

Kansas City continues to platoon Caglianone against left-handed starters with veteran Starling Marte handling the short-side assignment. The 23-year-old slugger has four homers and eight RBI through 32 games. He’s also struck out in just over 31 percent of his 118 plate appearances this season. Carter Jensen is also on the bench in this one with Cleveland throwing lefty Joey Cantillo.

José Caballero

NYY Shortstop #72

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said X-rays on José Caballero’s elbow came back negative for any fractures.

Boone added that Caballero is dealing with some swelling and could wind up sitting out Thursday’s series finale. The 29-year-old shortstop was hit by a pitch during Wednesday’s contest but managed to remain in the game. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.

Ryan Weathers

NYY Starting Pitcher #40
Ryan Weathers has been scratched from Thursday’s start against the Rangers due to illness.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Weathers has been sick recently and will slot back into the rotation against the Orioles on Monday. The 26-year-old told reporters he lost nearly 10 pounds due to a viral infection that threw off his typical routine between starts. It’ll likely be a bullpen game on Thursday against the Rangers with long reliever Paul Blackburn taking the ball to kick things off.

Sonny Gray

BOS Starting Pitcher #54

Sonny Gray pitched four-hit ball for five innings and combined with three relievers on a 4-0 shutout of the Tigers on Wednesday.

Tyler Samaniego, Zack Kelly and Greg Weissert finished up for the Red Sox. Gray had just two strikeouts and two swings-and-misses tonight in his return from the injured list, but most of the contact was soft, and when got into big trouble by loading the bases in the second, Wilyer Abreu bailed him out with a terrific sliding catch on a Jace Jung liner to right. Gray moved to 3-1 with a 3.54 ERA in six starts. He’ll get the Phillies next week.

Jack Flaherty

DET Starting Pitcher #9

Jack Flaherty struck out 10 while allowing four runs — two earned — in five innings Wednesday in a loss to the Red Sox.

The two runs in the fourth were unearned because of a Colt Keith error. The two runs in the third could have been unearned, too, but no error was given to Spencer Torkelson for botching a foul popup prior to Caleb Durbin’s RBI double. Flaherty wound up dropping to 0-3 with a 5.56 ERA tonight, but it was probably his best performance of the season. He allowed three hits and walked one. The 10-strikeout game was his first since Aug. 2024 and 14th overall. He’ll face the Mets next.

Caleb Durbin

BOS 3rd Baseman #5

Caleb Durbin doubled in a run and stole a base against the Tigers on Wednesday.

He wound have had a second steal, but the pitcher balked as Durbin was in the process of taking third base. It was a good night for the struggling hitter, though. Durbin’s 105.9-mph double off Jack Flaherty barely missed being his hardest-hit ball of the year, and he had another hard-hit grounder in the ninth. He’s at .178/.260/.263 with four steals on the year.

Willson Contreras

BOS 1st Baseman #40

Willson Contreras was checked on by a trainer because of a left hand issue in the ninth inning Wednesday against the Tigers.

Interim manager Jim Tracy said after the game that the hand has bothered Contreras for several days, but that he doesn’t think it’s a significant issue. Contreras switched to an axe-handled bat to finish his final at-bat tonight. Contreras went 0-for-3 with a walk in the contract. All three outs were via the K.

Adolis García

PHI Right Fielder #53

Adolis García went 2-for-4 with a homer and two runs scored Wednesday as the Phillies topped the A’s 6-3.

García homered off Jeffrey Springs in the fifth and then singled and scored during a four-run rally in the eighth. He’s hitting .311 with two homers and eight RBI in his last 12 games. That still leaves him with a .707 OPS overall, but as the Phillies’ primary cleanup hitter, he remains pretty intriguing in mixed leagues.

Zack Wheeler

PHI Starting Pitcher #45

Zack Wheeler surrendered three runs in 6 1/3 innings against the A’s on Wednesday.

He allowed five hits, walked one and struck out four. Wheeler averaged 95.0 mph with his fastball tonight, up from 94.3 mph in his season debut, so it seems like he just might wind up close to his 2024 average of 96.1 mph as he continues to build up. That’s great news for those who stashed him in drafts this spring. He’ll face the Red Sox next.

Brad Keller

PHI Relief Pitcher #40
Brad Keller pitched himself out of a bases-loaded jam in the ninth for his third save of the season Wednesday against the A’s.

As suspected, the Phillies avoided Jhoan Duran tonight after he threw 27 pitches in his return from the IL on Tuesday. That means one more save chance for Keller, who will mostly pitch the eighth with Duran back. He gave up a leadoff single and then a walk with one out and another with two outs before Jacob Wilson grounded out to end the game.
