    Athletics' Zack Gelof: Begins rehab assisgnment

    Gelof (wrist) is 1-for-4 with a walk for Triple-A Las Vegas in the first two games of a rehab assignment that began Tuesday.

    Gelof underwent surgery in March to repair a fractured hamate bone in his right wrist. He'll likely need a week or more of rehab games before he's ready to be activated from the injured list.

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Dealing with hamstring issue

    Torres is dealing with a hamstring injury and will not be in the lineup Friday against the Angels, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Torres was removed from Thursday's game after singling to lead off the eighth inning. Manager A.J. Hinch stated after the contest that Torres was set for a day off Friday regardless of the injury, so there doesn't seem to be much concern about the issue at this point.

  • Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Taking live at-bats

    Cronenworth (ribs) has been cleared for all baseball activity and began taking live at-bats at the Padres' spring complex Thursday, MLB.com reports.

    Cronenworth has been on the injured list since April 11 due to a non-displaced right rib fracture, and while he hasn't fully healed, the infielder could return to action before that occurs. It's not yet clear how long Cronenworth will need to ramp back up, and he may need at least a brief minor-league rehab stint before returning to the big club, but he could be back with San Diego within the next few weeks. While Cronenworth has been out, Jose Iglesias has been getting the bulk of the starts at second base.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Swipes two bags Thursday

    Garcia went 2-for-4 with an RBI single, two steals and one run scored in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Phillies.

    Garcia gave the Nationals a two-run lead in the sixth inning, when his single to left field brought Keibert Ruiz home. The second baseman proceeded to steal second base, advanced to third on a passed ball and then took home on a double steal. Garcia has reached base safely in seven straight games, and over that span he has gone 9-for-25 (.360) with three stolen bases, three runs scored, one home run and two RBI.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Labeled day-to-day

    Campbell (ribs) is considered day-to-day after being scratched from the lineup Thursday against the Blue Jays, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    Campbell was diagnosed with rib soreness that he reportedly felt while stretching. It appears as if a stint on the injured list is not currently being considered, though more details about his status should emerge Friday.

  • Adael Amador SS | COL

    Rockies' Adael Amador: Sitting down Thursday

    Amador isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants.

    Despite going 4-for-11 in his last three games, Amador will sit down for the third time in the last five days against Justin Verlander and the Giants. Kyle Farmer will fill in at second base and bat seventh.

  • Reds' Santiago Espinal: Drives in two runs

    Espinal went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 9-1 win against the Cardinals.

    Espinal delivered his second consecutive multi-hit game and finished the three-game set versus St. Louis with five hits in nine plate appearances. The 30-year-old hasn't had a regular presence in the lineup since Matt McLain returned from his hamstring injury in mid-April, but Espinal has been performing well as a bench option this year with a .324/.378/.382 slash line through 23 contests.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Scratched Thursday

    Campbell was scratched from the lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the Blue Jays due to right rib discomfort, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    The severity of Campbell's injury remains unknown, but it's apparently enough of a nuisance to warrant a day off Thursday. While we wait for more information, Jarren Duran will shift to center field to cover for the 22-year-old, opening up left field for Rob Refsnyder.

  • Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: On injured list with fractured rib

    The Giants placed Fitzgerald on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left rib fracture.

    Fitzgerald dealt with a chest contusion that sidelined him in both games over the weekend, but was able to return to action Tuesday and Wednesday. After going 1-for-5 in those two contests, he will spend some time on the injured list with Brett Wisely being recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday. Fitzgerald had an MRI on Thursday that revealed the fracture, and he expected to be out at least two weeks, per Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle.

  • Brett Wisely 2B | ATL

    Giants' Brett Wisely: Recalled from Sacramento

    The Giants recalled Wisely from Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday.

    With Tyler Fitzgerald on the injured list and set to miss time due to a fractured rib, the Giants will turn to Wisely to replenish their infield depth. The 25-year-old has been in the minors all season, slashing .235/.325/.431 with five homers, 19 RBI, 18 runs scored and three stolen bases through 27 games. He'll likely operate in a reserve role while Christian Koss receives the bulk of starts at the keystone.
