  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Sitting out with minor injury

    Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said that Holliday is not in Thursday's lineup versus the Yankees because he's nicked up, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

    Mansolino didn't divulge any more details, but it seems like some general soreness Holliday is dealing with that shouldn't keep him out of action more than a day or two. Luis Vazquez is drawing a start at second base for the Orioles on Thursday, while Ryan Mountcastle has been elevated to the leadoff spot.

  • Trey Yesavage SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Drawing start Sunday versus Royals

    Yesavage will start Sunday's game in Kansas City, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Yesavage was impressive in his major-league debut Monday against the Rays, striking out nine over five innings of one-run ball. That has earned him at least one more regular-season start, and it's a favorable matchup versus the Royals. Yesavage threw just 69 pitches in his outing against the Rays, and it's not clear what the Blue Jays have planned for his workload Sunday.

  • Jazz Chisholm 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Idle Thursday

    Chisholm isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles.

    Chisholm is slashing .259/.283/.414 with three homers, eight RBI, six runs scored and five steals through 15 games in September, and the Yankees will now use a matchup against southpaw Cade Povich as a chance to get the lefty-hitting infielder a day off. Amed Rosario will draw the start at second base instead and bat fifth.

  • Colt Keith DH | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Exits with injury

    Keith was removed from Thursday's game against the Guardians due to an apparent back injury, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Keith was spotted grabbing at his lower back at the end of the second inning before heading into the clubhouse alongside one of the Tigers' trainers. The severity of his injury isn't immediately clear, but the team should provide an update in the near future.

  • Royals' Bailey Falter: Kicking off rehab assignment

    Falter (biceps) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha on Thursday.

    It will be his first game appearance since he landed on the 15-day injured list with a left biceps contusion in late August. Falter had been demoted to the Royals' bullpen before getting hurt, and if he does make it back before the end of the season, it could be in a low-leverage relief role.

  • Jordan Hicks RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Jordan Hicks: Resumes playing catch

    Hicks (shoulder) has been cleared to play catch, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    Hicks has a chance to make it back from his right shoulder tendinitis before the end of the regular season, but it's far from guaranteed. The hard-throwing righty holds an 8.20 ERA and 15:12 K:BB over 18.2 innings during his time with the Red Sox, putting his role in question even if he does return.

  • Dustin May SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Dustin May: Throws bullpen session

    May (elbow) threw a bullpen session Wednesday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    May landed on the 15-day injured list last week with right elbow neuritis. While May appears to be trending in the right direction, Red Sox manager Alex Cora conceded that the righty has "maybe" run out of time to contribute down the stretch. Even if May is deemed healthy enough to return this month, his role is very much in flux, as he's posted a 5.40 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 26:13 K:BB over 28.1 innings with Boston.

  • Rio Foster RF | LAA

    Angels' Rio Foster: In terrible car accident

    Foster is in critical but stable condition after suffering skull and facial fractures following a car crash earlier this month in Richland, Wash., Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

    Foster underwent brain surgery and will require several more procedures in the coming months, according to his mother, Iris Cleveland. He slashed .267/.407/.439 with 10 home runs, eight steals and a 25.4 percent strikeout rate in 93 games this year at High-A Tri-City.

  • Jose Urquidy RP | DET

    Tigers' Jose Urquidy: DFA'd, but expected to be optioned

    The Tigers designated Urquidy for assignment Thursday.

    While the transaction for the time being is officially labeled as Urquidy being designated for assignment, the righty has agreed to be optioned to Triple-A Toledo and that is expected to happen Friday. Urquidy has allowed two runs over 2.1 innings since the Tigers reinstated him from the injured list earlier this week, and the club has decided it doesn't have a spot for him on the active roster right now.

  • Paul Sewald RP | DET

    Tigers' Paul Sewald: Returns from 60-day IL

    The Tigers activated Sewald (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Thursday.

    Sewald was recovering from a right shoulder strain when the Tigers acquired him from the Guardians at the trade deadline, but he's made his way onto the active roster following five rehab appearances. The veteran reliever will likely be used in low-leverage spots initially but could find himself working in key situations if he looks sharp.
