It’s an extremely rare day off for Butler, who has made 11 consecutive starts in right field dating back to April 13. Meanwhile, Langeliers has caught 10 of the last 12 games for the Athletics during that span. It’ll be rookie shortstop Jacob Wilson bumping up to occupy the leadoff spot in place of Butler. Brent Rooker heads out to right field and Jhonny Pereda will handle the catching duties.

Urias drove in one of the Athletics’ three runs with a solo homer in the seventh inning for his only hit of the day. The 27-year-old infielder has operated as the A’s primary second baseman until Zack Gelof (hand) returns. Urias is hitting 270/.333/.514 with three homers over 43 plate appearances.

The White Sox were on Springs early in this one. Luis Robert Jr. took him deep for a solo homer before a walk and three hits brought three more runs in to score in the opening frame. Two hits and a sacrifice fly put two more runs on the board for Chicago in the second. Springs was left in to save the bullpen and gave up one more run in the sixth. The 32-year-old left-hander ends the day with a 6.04 ERA, 1.62 WHIP, and a 27/16 K/BB ratio across 28 1/3 innings, giving fantasy managers little reason to hold him at this point. He’ll make his next start against the Rangers in Texas on Thursday.

Ginn heads to the injured list just a couple days after allowing three home runs over 3 2/3 innings on Thursday against the Rangers. No word yet on how much time he’s going to miss. The 25-year-old righty has recorded a serviceable 4.61 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 15/6 K/BB ratio across 13 2/3 innings (three starts) this season at the big-league level.

Noel entered the day with a .167/.200/.190 line in 45 plate appearances, which is why he’s only been playing a lefties. The Guardians could give him time over the struggling Carlos Santana if they want to get him going, but we’re not optimistic it will happen. The club isn’t slated to face any lefties for at least a week, so it could be right back to the bench for Noel.

Kelenic has not been successful whatsoever to begin the 2025 campaign, and Atlanta will go with Eli White in the lineup even with right-hander Merrill Kelly on the bump for Arizona. Kelenic has shown glimpses of being a competent outfielder, but they have been too few and far between. Kinda sad.
