  • Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk: Getting some rest Thursday

    Kirk is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Cubs.

    Rutschman is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Mariners.

  • Mitch Garver DH | SEA

    Mariners' Mitch Garver: Filling in for resting Raleigh

    Garver will start at catcher and bat seventh in Thursday's game against the Orioles.

    With star backstop Cal Raleigh getting a rare rest day as the Mariners conclude their series in Baltimore with a day game after a night game, Garver will receive a turn behind the plate. Since the All-Star break, Garver has struggled to get much going offensively while seeing inconsistent playing time, slashing just .184/.273/.289 with a home run and a 4:14 BB:K over 44 plate appearances.

    Diaz amassed at least three RBI for the second time this month and the seventh time this season. The backstop now has four multi-hit games in August, and he's been a steady bat in the middle of Houston's order throughout 2025. Since the beginning of July, Diaz is batting a strong .281 with seven homers, seven doubles and 19 RBI covering 128 at-bats (34 games).

    Jensen suffered the injury after his hand hit a batting helmet on a throw during Tuesday's game. The 22-year-old top prospect is considered day-to-day, and he could return to the lineup before the end of the week. Jensen is slashing .252/.358/.574 with two steals, eight doubles, nine home runs and 26 RBI over 135 plate appearances in Triple-A this season.
