Reyes was placed on the 10-day injured list with right hamstring tightness Thursday, retroactive to May 25, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Reyes was sidelined Wednesday against the Astros, and his absence was apparently due to a hamstring issue that will force him to miss at least a week and a half. The 26-year-old had been struggling prior to sustaining his injury, as he hit just .095 with a double, an RBI, three walks and eight strikeouts over his last seven games. Richie Palacios and Oscar Gonzalez were called up from Triple-A Columbus as part of a move to provide additional depth in Reyes' absence.

Carpenter signed a major-league contract with the Yankees on Thursday.

Carpenter joined the Rangers on a minor-league deal in mid-March and spent the first six weeks of the season at the Triple-A level, where he hit .275/.379/.613 with six home runs and 19 RBI in 21 games. The 36-year-old has struggled over the past couple years in the majors but will now receive an opportunity with the Yankees since DJ LeMahieu (wrist) is banged up and Giancarlo Stanton (ankle) and Josh Donaldson (illness) are on the injured list.

Choi isn't starting Thursday against the Yankees.

Choi has started exclusively against right-handed pitchers this year, and he'll get a breather with southpaw Nestor Cortes on the mound Thursday. Wander Franco will serve as the designated hitter while Harold Ramirez enters the lineup at first base.

Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Marlins.

Ramirez went yard in the first inning to collect his second home run of the season and in as many days. He's tallied multiple hits in three of his last seven starts, during which he's also driven in four and scored four runs. Despite the strong stretch, Ramirez could find himself squeezed for playing time due to the return of Manuel Margot.

Ohtani went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in Wednesday's loss to the Rangers.

There weren't many highlights for the Angels in the contest, but Ohtani did help the team get an early jump by leading off the first inning with a walk, swiping second base and coming around to score on an Anthony Rendon single. After collecting a career-high 26 steals last season, the two-way star is on a similar pace with seven thefts through 44 contests in 2022. Most of his other offensive numbers are slightly down, but Ohtani is still putting up solid production with nine homers, 28 RBI and 30 runs scored.

Manager Aaron Boone said after Wednesday's win over the Orioles that Stanton is dealing with right ankle inflammation rather than a calf strain as previously announced, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

The 32-year-old's injury was labeled as a calf issue when he exited Tuesday's contest and when he was placed on the 10-day injured list earlier Wednesday, but it instead appears he's managing an ankle issue. It's unclear exactly how long Stanton will be out, but Boone hopes the slugger will be able to be activated when first eligible June 4.

Stanton was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right calf strain.

Stanton underwent an MRI on Wednesday morning after suffering the injury during Tuesday's contest against the Orioles, and he'll now be sidelined for at least the next 10 days. The severity of the strain is not yet clear, and there's no official timeline for the 32-year-old's return. Joey Gallo (illness) was activated from the COVID-19 injured list in a corresponding move.

Miller isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Angels.

Miller has started against just one left-handed pitcher this season, and he'll take a seat with southpaw Reid Detmers on the mound for the Angels on Wednesday. Eli White is starting in left field and batting ninth.

Reyes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

After kicking off May by producing a 1.256 OPS through the Guardians' first six games of the month, Reyes has taken a big step back offensively. In his subsequent 11 contests, Reyes has gone 4-for-36 with one extra-base hit (a double) and 14 strikeouts. Josh Naylor will handle designated-hitter duties Wednesday while Reyes gets a day off to clear his head.

Winker went 2-for-5 with two runs in a loss to the Athletics on Tuesday.

The Mariners' first loss to the Athletics in 14 games was a mixed bag for Winker, who was productive out of the leadoff spot but also committed a fielding error that allowed the go-ahead run to score in the seventh inning. Winker's current .219/.310/.300 slash line is still falling well below expectations based on his previous body of work, but he's shown a bit more life at the plate recently by reaching safely in 10 of his last 11 games.
