    Padres' Gavin Sheets: Plates four runs Wednesday

    Sheets went 2-for-5 with a triple and four RBI in a loss to San Francisco on Wednesday.

    Sheets got the scoring started with a two-run triple -- just the second three-bagger of his career -- in the first inning. He added a two-run single in the fifth to give the Padres a 5-0 lead, but those were the final runs the team scored. Sheets was pulled early from Sunday's game against Pittsburgh after colliding with the outfield wall, but he seems to be fine now, as he's started the Padres' past two contests. He's up to 38 RBI through 57 games this year, just 15 short of the career-high 53 RBI he produced across 124 contests in 2022 with the White Sox.

  • Jorge Soler DH | LAA

    Angels' Jorge Soler: Exits with tight groin

    Soler was removed from Wednesday's game against the Red Sox due to groin tightness.

    Soler went 1-for-1 with a walk and a base hit before Matthew Lugo came on to replace him in right field in the bottom of the third inning. The severity of Soler's groin injury isn't yet known, and the Angels could send him in for further tests before an update on his status is provided ahead of Friday's series opener versus the Mariners.

    Angels' Jorge Soler: Leaves with apparent injury

    Soler was removed from Wednesday's game in Boston in the third inning with an undisclosed injury, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    The Angels haven't provided word on what exactly happened with Soler, but he was replaced by Matthew Lugo in right field before the bottom of the third inning. Soler had an infield single and drew a walk in his two plate appearances before departing. The Angels should have an update on his condition soon.

    Padres' Gavin Sheets: Back in lineup

    Sheets (head) will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth in Tuesday's game against the Giants.

    Sheets missed a start Monday after colliding with the outfield wall Sunday, though he appeared as a pinch hitter during Monday's game. Now fully recovered, he'll aim to bounce back after going 2-for-18 across his last seven games.

  • Blue Jays' Anthony Santander: Gets PRP injection in shoulder

    Santander will rest for 5-to-7 days after receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection in his injured left shoulder, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

    Santander landed on the 10-day injured list this past Friday with a shoulder injury that had been nagging at him for a while. The hope is that the PRP injection will help speed along the recovery process and that he will be ready to resume throwing and ramping up after a brief shutdown period.

  • Kyle Manzardo 1B | CLE

    Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Sitting versus southpaw

    Manzardo is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

    With lefty Carlos Rodon on the bump for the Yankees, the left-handed-hitting Manzardo will begin the tilt on the bench. David Fry is at designated hitter and batting cleanup for the Guardians.

  • Blue Jays' Tyler Heineman: Back from concussion IL

    The Blue Jays activated Heineman from the 7-day concussion injured list Tuesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Heineman missed a little over a week of action with concussion symptoms. He'll serve as Alejandro Kirk's understudy at catcher.

  • Gavin Sheets RF | SD

    Padres' Gavin Sheets: Pinch hits Monday

    Sheets (head/hip/wrist/thumb) grounded out as a pinch hitter in Monday's 1-0 win over the Giants.

    Per AJ Cassavell of MLB.com, Sheets was evaluated for a head bruise, hip soreness and wrist/thumb soreness after colliding with the outfield wall Sunday against Pittsburgh. The veteran slugger was also evaluated for a concussion, though he appears to have passed through protocol given his ability to enter as a pinch hitter Monday. Sheets said prior to the game against San Francisco that he expects to avoid being placed on the IL, and the pinch-hit appearance similarly suggests that such a stint won't be needed.

  • Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Increases intensity

    Yoshida (shoulder) has increased the intensity of his throwing program while playing catch out to 75 feet, MLB.com reports.

    Yoshida had been throwing out to 120 feet prior to being shut down in April. The club hasn't pegged an estimated return date for Yoshida, other than this report indicating July at the earliest. Even when Yoshida is ready to go, there's no guarantee he has a spot in the starting lineup.

  • Shohei Ohtani DH | LAD

    Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Homers in loss Monday

    Ohtani went 1-for-4 with a home run and a sacrifice fly Monday in an extra-inning loss to the Mets.

    The Dodgers were held scoreless through six frames before Ohtani launched a solo shot to right field in the seventh. The star slugger added a sacrifice fly in the ninth off Mets closer Edwin Diaz to send the game to an extra frame. Ohtani has recently ramped up his preparation as a pitcher as he gets closer to making his Dodgers debut on the mound, but that work hasn't impacted his hitting -- he's belted six long balls among his eight total hits over his past eight games.
