    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Avoids fracture after HBP

    X-rays on Ramirez's right forearm came back negative after he was lifted from Thursday's game versus the Blue Jays following a hit-by-pitch, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    Ramirez was plunked by a Kevin Gausman pitch in bottom of the fourth inning and was removed from the game prior to the top of the fifth. However, Ramirez can be considered day-to-day after he avoided any fractures.

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Exits after HBP

    Ramirez was removed from Thursday's game against the Blue Jays after getting hit on the arm by a pitch, Chris Assenheimer of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Ramirez ran the bases for himself after taking a 95-mph fastball off his arm in the fourth inning, but he was replaced on defense when the Guardians took the field in the fifth. Initial X-rays on his arm came back negative, per Assenheimer, and the team has labeled the slugging third baseman as day-to-day going forward.

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Undergoing CT scan

    Schmitt (wrist) will undergo a CT scan Thursday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    X-rays on Schmitt's left wrist came back negative after he was hit by a pitch in Wednesday's game versus the Marlins, but he'll have additional testing to make sure he didn't suffer a fracture. Schmitt is not in the Giants' lineup Thursday, and the team could have more on his condition after the contest.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Sitting versus southpaw

    Muncy is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Colorado.

    The left-handed-hitting Muncy doesn't always sit out versus lefty pitching, but he'll begin Thursday's tilt on the bench as the Rockies send southpaw Austin Gomber to the bump. Miguel Rojas will handle third base and bat ninth for the Dodgers.

  • Royce Lewis 3B | MIN

    Twins' Royce Lewis: Cleared to begin rehab assignment

    Lewis (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

    Lewis was cleared to play in rehab games after running the bases without issue Thursday. The third baseman is eligible to be activated from the 10-day injured list at any time, but it's not clear how many rehab games the Twins will ask him to play.

  • Max Schuemann 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Max Schuemann: Filling in for resting Soderstrom

    Schuemann will start in left field and bat eighth in Thursday's game against the Tigers.

    Schuemann will enter the starting nine for the first time since the Athletics' 11-4 loss to the Astros on June 18, when he stepped in for a resting Tyler Soderstrom while Houston sent lefty Framber Valdez to the hill. Though the Athletics haven't been treating the left-handed-hitting Soderstrom as a strict platoon player, he'll sit again Thursday versus Tigers southpaw Dietrich Enns to create room in the lineup for Schuemann, who is slashing .225/.351/.325 with one home run and three steals over 97 plate appearances this season.

  • Noelvi Marte 3B | CIN

    Reds' Noelvi Marte: Rehab at Double-A begins

    Marte (oblique) started at designated hitter and went 0-for-4 with a run scored for Double-A Chattanooga on Wednesday.

    This was Marte's first rehab game at an affiliate following a weekend spent in the Arizona Complex League. He's expected to play five consecutive games and then will be re-evaluated, per Greg Kuffner of MSN.com. Marte has been on the 10-day injured list since May 7.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Walks off Toronto

    Ramirez went 2-for-5 with two RBI in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Blue Jays.

    Ramirez's 10th-inning single plated the game-winning run. He had earlier drove in the Guardians' first run. After a rare two-game hitless run in the middle of June, Ramirez has hit safely in six of the last seven contests, going 9-for-29 (.310) with one extra-base hit and four RBI. He leads the Guardians with 38 RBI over 76 games.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | SEA

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Takes light batting practice

    Suarez (hand) participated in a light batting practice session Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

    Suarez, who was hit by a pitch in Monday's game, is confident he will return to the lineup Friday, but the Diamondbacks want him to undergo an MRI when the swelling subsides. That potentially could happen Thursday. Ildemaro Vargas took over at third base Tuesday, but he suffered a fractured foot and landed on the 10-day injured list. Tim Tawa is currently handling the hot corner, and the team also called up infielder Blaze Alexander from Triple-A Reno.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Has another big RBI day in victory

    Muncy went 2-for-4 with a home run, two total runs and six RBI in an 8-1 win against the Rockies on Wednesday.

    Muncy's first two RBI can be attributed to the weather -- he lofted a pop fly in the infield with two runners on base in the sixth inning, but rain impeded the catch, allowing the ball to drop and resulting in two Dodgers crossing the plate. The veteran third baseman earned every bit of his next hit, as he blasted a 418-foot grand slam in the seventh frame to break the game open for Los Angeles. Muncy has six hits -- including three long balls -- and 13 RBI over his past three games, pushing his season OPS to .829 after it stood at .723 coming into June.
