Milwaukee Brewers rookie outfielder Jackson Chourio is starting in right field and is back in the leadoff spot on Wednesday versus the visiting Minnesota Twins and right-hander Chris Paddack. With Chourio back in the top spot, outfielder Sal Frelick moves down the order to No. 6. The 20-year-old was the team's leadoff hitter on Opening Day last Thursday but then hit ninth the next three games against righties. The Venezuelan outfielder has earned more time atop the batting order by going 6-for-16 (.375) with a double, three RBI and a stolen base in his first four major-league contests. Chourio signed a record-setting $80 million extension with Milwaukee in the offseason before even playing in his first big-league game, so if he continues to hit well, we should see him atop the batting order more often than not.

After sitting out Tuesdays' victory, Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo is starting at third base and batting leadoff on Wednesday against the Miami Marlins and left-hander A.J. Puk. With Rengifo getting the start at the hot corner, Anthony Rendon is getting the day off in Miami. Brandon Drury is at second base and batting fifth in the order. The 27-year-old switch-hitting Rengifo has only started two of the team's first six games on the year and has gone 2-for-7 with a double, two runs scored and a strikeout in three games played. Unless he starts to play more regularly for the Halos, Rengifo probably isn't worth a roster spot in deep-mixed leagues for infield depth. Rengifo is 0-for-3 in his career against Puk.

Texas Rangers outfielder Evan Carter finds himself on the bench for the start of Wednesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Aaron Civale. Carter has drawn a league-leading six walks in the first five games of the season, but he's also hitless in his 22 plate appearances with an RBI, stolen base, five runs scored and two strikeouts, so the Rangers are giving him an early blow so that he can clear his head. The 21-year-old should be able to rebound eventually for his fantasy managers, but you may want to keep him out of lineups until he shows signs of life. Rookie Wyatt Langford is getting the start in left field on Wednesday and is hitting in the three-hole for Texas. Last year's fourth overall pick out of Florida has gone 6-for-21 (.286) with a triple and three RBI in his first five big-league games in 2024.

Baltimore Orioles outfield Cedric Mullins is not in the team's starting lineup on Wednesday with the team taking on left-hander Cole Ragans and the Kansas City Royals. It's just a routine day of rest for Mullins after he started each of the first five games of the season. With the 29-year-old sitting out, Jorge Mateo is getting the start in center field and will hit seventh for the O's. Mateo will be looking for his first career hit against Ragans. He's only faced the southpaw two times before. Mullins could probably use the rest day, as he's gotten off to a slow start to his 2024 campaign, going 3-for-18 (.167) with a home run, four RBI, three runs scored and seven strikeouts in his first 19 plate appearances. Fantasy managers need to make sure to take Mullins out of their lineups for the early start on Wednesday.

After coming off a three-steal performance on Monday, Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran stole another base in Tuesday's victory versus the Oakland Athletics. He also went 2-for-3 with a run and RBI. Duran has been having a big series and has been off to a nice start for the Red Sox as he sits atop their batting order. For the young season, he is now hitting .292 with four runs, two RBI and six stolen bases. Duran hasn't homered yet, but he has the ability to hit 10+ in a season to go along with helping in the stolen base department. Managers should hold onto Duran as one of the premier base stealers in the league, but he can also help with runs and batting average. He should be rostered in most formats.
