  • Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Absent from lineup

    Canzone is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest in Pittsburgh.

    Canzone returned to the lineup Wednesday following a one-day absence with a right hamstring injury, but he'll be back on the bench Thursday. He did not suffer any known setback Wednesday, so the Mariners are likely just giving Canzone a break for Thursday's matinee. Cal Raleigh is in the designated-hitter slot, and Mitch Garver will grab a start at catcher.

  • Joc Pederson DH | TEX

    Rangers' Joc Pederson: Goes yard again Wednesday

    Pederson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Marlins.

    For the second straight day, Pederson launched a late homer off Miami closer Pete Fairbanks in a losing effort. The veteran DH is up to 11 long balls on the season, and over 20 games in June he's batting a respectable .250 (17-for-68) with two doubles, two triples, three home runs, seven runs scored and nine RBI.

  • Jahmai Jones DH | BOS

    Tigers' Jahmai Jones: Not starting against lefty

    Jones is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Though he's on the Tigers' roster primarily as a specialist against left-handed pitching, Jones will be on the bench Wednesday for a matchup with Yankees southpaw Ryan Weathers. Jones has failed to live up to his billing as a lefty masher thus far in 2026, slashing .162/.253/.270 with a 28.9 percent strikeout rate over 83 plate appearances. The 28-year-old is likely on a tight leash and could soon be in danger of being designated for assignment.

  • Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Checking back into starting nine

    Canzone (hamstring) will start at designated hitter and bat sixth Wednesday against the Pirates.

    He'll check back into the starting nine after a right hamstring injury kept him from playing in Tuesday's 3-2 win. The 29-year-old has been holding down a strong-side platoon role at DH for the Mariners this season and has torched right-handed pitching to the tune of a .288/.348/.581 slash line with 11 home runs in 178 plate appearances.

  • Brent Rooker DH | ATH

    Athletics' Brent Rooker: Yet to start baseball activities

    Rooker (knee) is still not participating in any baseball activities as of Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

    Rooker hit the injured list June 12 due to a bone bruise in his left knee and has yet to make much headway in his recovery. The Athletics hope to have a better idea of his status next week, though that suggests a return before the end of June is unlikely. Before being shelved, the veteran hit .200/.281/.389 with 10 homers, 29 RBI, 20 runs and two stolen bases across 48 games.

  • Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Not starting Tuesday

    Canzone (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

    Canzone will miss at least one start after departing Sunday's game against the Red Sox due to a hamstring injury. The severity of the injury isn't clear, but the 28-year-old should be considered day-to-day until more information is available. Randy Arozarena (hamstring) is serving as the DH in his return from the injured list.

  • Blue Jays' George Springer: On base three times Monday

    Springer went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Monday's win over the Astros.

    Facing the team he won a World Series with in 2017, Springer delivered another strong performance from the leadoff spot, recording his fifth multi-hit effort in the last seven games. Over 16 games in June, the 36-year-old sports a .271/.389/.475 slash line with three homers, three steals, seven RBI and nine runs as he puts a quiet start to the campaign behind him.

  • Jorge Soler DH | LAA

    Angels' Jorge Soler: Homers in return

    Soler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Orioles.

    Soler missed just over two weeks due to a left oblique strain. The veteran kept the Angels from getting shut out Monday, lifting a ninth-inning homer. He went 13-for-55 (.236) in the 14 games prior to his absence, a slight improvement compared to his overall numbers. He's batting .220 with a .713 OPS, 10 homers, 34 RBI, 29 runs scored, 10 doubles and a triple over 59 contests this season.

  • Jorge Soler DH | LAA

    Angels' Jorge Soler: Comes back from IL

    The Angels reinstated Soler (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday. He'll start at designated hitter and bat cleanup in the Angels' series opener versus the Orioles.

    Soler had been on the shelf since June 6 due to a left oblique strain, and after he checked out well after taking on-field batting practice in recent days, the Angels elected to bring him back from the IL without having him complete a rehab assignment beforehand. Because he returned a bit earlier than anticipated, Soler could be in line for a maintenance day or two during the Angels' upcoming six-game week, but he should settle back into a near-everyday role at DH.

  • Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Dealing with hamstring injury

    Canzone suffered a right hamstring injury during Sunday's 3-1 win over the Red Sox, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Canzone exited the contest in the bottom of the sixth frame after hustling down the line on the groundout. The 28-year-old grabbed at his right leg after crossing first base, and it is now understood that he is dealing a hamstring injury. Canzone will travel with the team to Pittsburgh before Seattle will open a three-game series against the Pirates on Tuesday, and he is considered day-to-day for the time being.
