Henderson was added to the Orioles' 60-man player pool Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

The 19-year-old was selected 42nd overall by Baltimore in the 2019 draft, and he'll be able to continue his development at the alternate training site. Henderson appeared in 29 games at rookie ball last year and had a .259/.331/.370 slash line with one homer and two stolen bases.

Ramirez went 3-for-5 with a triple, two home runs, four runs scored and four RBI in Thursday's 13-0 win over the Reds.

Ramirez got the scoring started for Cleveland, smashing a 98-mph fastball from Luis Castillo into the right-field seats. He went on to homer from the other side of the plate against a lefty (Cody Reed). This game bumped his line from .277/.382/.447 to .308/.400/.615 -- Ramirez has only attempted one steal through 14 games, but nobody's complaining.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double during Thursday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

Bregman launched a two-out, two-run blast to help the Astros regain the lead in the eighth inning. Ultimately, Houston came up short in the end. The 26-year-old, who has now hit safely in six consecutive games, is batting .235 on the season with three home runs and nine RBI.

LeMahieu is not starting Thursday against the Phillies.

LeMahieu, who is 17-for-41 with two home runs this season, will get the day off following a string of 10 consecutive starts. Tyler Wade is covering the keystone and hitting ninth in his stead Thursday.

Donaldson (calf) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Pirates, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

Donaldson hasn't appeared in a game for the Twins since Friday, when he exited the contest with right calf tightness. While the Twins have thus far downplayed Donaldson's calf issue, the fact that he hasn't been deployed even as a pinch hitter suggests a move to the injured list remains a distinct possibility. Marwin Gonzalez will cover third base again Thursday while Donaldson sits on the bench.

Toro went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an RBI single and two runs scored in Wednesday's 14-7 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Toro opened the scoring by plating Carlos Correa with a single in the second inning before scoring on a Kyle Tucker homer. The 23-year-old rookie then went yard himself in the fourth -- his first home run of the season. He has two RBI, five runs and a .158 batting average in 26 plate appearances, but Toro has hit well in the minor leagues and should keep getting opportunities -- if not everyday ones -- to bring his numbers up.

Madrigal was diagnosed with a separated left shoulder and will be placed on the 10-day injured list, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

The 23-year-old suffered the injury Tuesday as his left arm was jammed into the ground on a feet-first slide attempt. Madrigal is expected to be sidelined for at least a few weeks, but the White Sox hope he'll be able to return by the end of August. Tim Anderson (groin) is also on the IL, leaving Leury Garcia and Danny Mendick as the top options to work in the middle infield.

Urshela will sit for the first half of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Phillies.

The Yankees are able to rest several players given the expanded rosters this season. Miguel Andujar starts at the hot corner for Game 1 of the doubleheader, but there's a good chance Urshela will be in the lineup for Game 2.

Donaldson (calf) will sit for the fifth straight game Wednesday against the PIrates.

Donaldson has been on the shelf with right calf tightness since leaving Friday's game against Cleveland due to the injury. The issue is apparently not too serious, but the veteran has had calf issues in the past, and the Twins can afford to be quite cautious due to the expanded playoffs and their 9-2 start. Ehire Adrianza will be the third baseman in this one, with Marwin Gonzalez shifting over to first base.

Bregman went 1-for-5 in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Bregman didn't have a standout performance Tuesday, but he managed to extend his hitting streak to four games. He has gone 5-for-20 (.250) with one home run, one double, two RBI and two runs scored during that stretch.
