Grissom went 1-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 7-0 win over the Rangers.

Grissom has gone 14-for-58 (.241) over his last 15 games, adding four extra-base hits and six RBI with a 1:15 BB:K in that span. The infielder's been seeing more time at third base lately to cover for a slumping Denzer Guzman, though Guzman had a three-hit effort while playing shortstop Thursday. Grissom would likely be in more of a utility role if the Angels were getting quality at-bats from around the infield, but he's managed to carve out pretty steady playing time for himself. Grissom is hitting .249 with a .692 OPS, seven home runs, 47 RBI, 31 runs scored, 16 doubles and a steal over 80 contests this season.

Lopez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Thursday's 7-0 loss to the Angels.

Lopez entered the contest just 1-for-12 over his last six games. The steal was his first since July 2 versus the Tigers, and he hasn't been particularly active since that date with just two stolen-base attempts. On the year, the infielder is batting .268 with a .621 OPS, one home run, 20 RBI, 19 runs scored, three doubles, one triple and five steals over 211 plate appearances.

Peraza (hand) is set to take some swings prior to Thursday night's contest against the Rangers, Jack Janes of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

Peraza is not in the starting lineup Thursday after suffering a left hand contusion in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Rangers. Manager Kurt Suzuki said that Peraza can play defense, but the team wants to ensure that he feels comfortable at the plate. The 26-year-old can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Godbout (hand) has gone 0-for-9 with three strikeouts over his first two games at Double-A Portland since being assigned to the affiliate Tuesday after being reinstated from High-A Greenville's 60-day injured list.

Godbout slashed .277/.410/.492 with seven home runs and two stolen bases over 34 games with Greenville before hitting the shelf June 2 after fracturing his left hand and requiring surgery. The 23-year-old shortstop kicked off a rehab assignment at Single-A Salem on July 31, and after playing in five games in the Carolina League, the Red Sox decided that he was ready to make his Double-A debut.

Young (head) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.

Young was removed from Wednesday's contest due to dizziness. He's no longer experiencing dizziness but is still not feeling great, per Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times. With southpaw Max Fried on the bump for the Yankees, it make sense to give the left-handed-hitting Young a day off. Brendan Donovan is sliding over to second base, and Weston Wilson will play third base for the Mariners.

The Athletics outrighted Ornelas to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Ornelas has been outrighted previously, so he has the ability to elect free agency. If he does decide to stick around, the 26-year-old will provide the Athletics with some infield depth at Las Vegas.

Genao started at second base and went 1-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-4 win over Detroit.

Genao replaced the primary second baseman, Travis Bazzana, for the second time in the last three games in which the Guardians faced a left-handed starter. Bazzana has a .192./.306/.240 slash line over 121 plate appearances against lefties. The switch-hitting Genao logged an .881 OPS against left-handers while with Triple-A Columbus prior to his call-up to Cleveland.

Peraza was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rangers with a left hand contusion.

Peraza took a 95-mph fastball off his hand during the sixth inning and was replaced on defense at the start of the seventh. He seems to have escaped the incident with nothing more than a bruise, but the Angels could still keep him on the bench for a day or two while he deals with lingering soreness.

Meidroth went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Reds.

Meidroth sat out two games while battling a sore left wrist. It didn't seem to be much of a concern when he went deep in the sixth inning to give the White Sox some breathing room. Meidroth has gone 10-for-30 (.333) with three homers and eight RBI over his eight games in August. On the year, he's batting .276 with a .763 OPS, 12 homers, 48 RBI, 68 runs scored, 21 doubles and two stolen bases over 114 contests.

Clement went 1-for-3 with a walk, two RBI, one run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Red Sox.

Clement drove in runs in the second and eighth innings while also adding his fifth stolen base of the season. The 30-year-old has tallied four RBI over his past four games, though he's posted a lowly .469 OPS through 12 August contests. For the year, he's slashing .282/.306/.406 with nine homers, 46 RBI, 50 runs scored and five steals across 480 plate appearances.
