Angels' Mike Moustakas: Exits with wrist soreness
Moustakas was removed from Tuesday's game against Seattle due to left wrist soreness.
The Angels didn't provide details on how long Moustakas might be out for, but he will nonetheless join a long list of Angels that are currently battling some sort of injury. Fantasy managers should consider Moustakas day-to-day going forward.

Josh Donaldson 3B | MIL
Brewers' Josh Donaldson: Clobbers first homer as Brewer
Donaldson went 2-for-2 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-1 victory over Miami.
After having his contract selected by Milwaukee on Monday, Donaldson delivered an RBI and a run scored in his Brewers debut. He was even better Tuesday, reaching in all four of his plate appearances (two hits, two walks), including via a solo home run off Edward Cabrera in the fourth frame. Though the change of scenery could be exactly what the former MVP needed, it's worth noting Donaldson slashed just .142/.225/.434 in 33 games with the Yankees this season.

Chapman (finger) hopes to return later this week, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
He went through a full day of workouts, including making throws in the infield and hitting off a velocity machine. For weeks, he'd only been fielding groundballs, so advancing to making throws is a big step. In the meantime, Cavan Biggio and Santiago Espinal have been platooning at third base.
