Pasquantino (back) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Pasquantino aggravated a back injury Tuesday that has been bothering him for a while, so the Royals will keep him on the bench Wednesday as a precaution. Salvador Perez will fill in for him at first base, moving Jac Caglianone into the DH spot and giving Lane Thomas a start in right field.

Soderstrom (shoulder/head) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Soderstrom landed awkwardly on his right side after attempting to make a diving catch in left field Tuesday and was eventually taken out of the game. Manager Mark Kotsay said after the contest that the 24-year-old hasn't displayed any signs of a concussion but is dealing with some soreness, per Martin Gallegos of MLB.com, and the A's will opt to keep him on the bench Wednesday. Carlos Cortes will pick up a start in left field as a result and bat third.

Brash was taken out of Wednesday's game against the Twins due to side discomfort, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Brash entered for the eighth inning Wednesday and threw just two pitches before departing with the training staff. The severity of the injury isn't fully clear, but the right-hander will have a team day off Thursday to aid in his recovery before the Mariners begin their next series against the Royals on Friday.

Dominguez was diagnosed with a left elbow contusion after exiting Wednesday's game against the Rangers in the fourth inning following a hit-by-pitch, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Dominguez was lifted from the contest after being struck by an 89.1 mile per hour Nathan Eovaldi cutter. X-rays were already taken and came back inconclusive, per Chris Kirschner of The Athletic, and Dominguez will likely undergo additional testing when the Yankees return home this weekend. Consider Dominguez day-to-day heading into Friday's series opener versus the Orioles.

The Tigers recalled De Jesus from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.

De Jesus was sent down one week ago following a particularly ugly relief appearance. He turned in two scoreless frames for Toledo after the demotion and will now get another chance with the big club as Casey Mize (thigh) head to the injured list.

The Tigers recalled Jung from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday. He'll start at designated hitter and bat ninth in Detroit's matchup with Atlanta.

Though he'll be making his 2026 debut for Detroit in a non-defensive role, Jung will be an option for the Tigers at three infield spots (first base, second base and third base) while he's up with the big club. With Javier Baez (ankle) landing on the injured list in a corresponding move, the Tigers have an opening the everyday lineup, but it's not clear if Jung will be in line for regular starts or if Detroit will lean on a committee of players to replace Baez. Jung has struggled in his limited opportunities at the big-league level over the previous two seasons and got off to a so-so start to the campaign at Toledo, producing a .222/.358/.364 slash line and 103 wRC+ while striking out at 22.8 percent clip over 123 plate appearances.

The Tigers placed Baez on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right ankle sprain.

Baez suffered the injury while trying to leg out a base hit in Tuesday's loss to Atlanta and was carted off the field. The Tigers haven't revealed the severity of Baez's sprain, but he's likely to need more than just a minimum 10-day absence. Wenceel Perez and Matt Vierling should see upticks in playing time while Baez is shelved.

Brash was removed from an appearance Wednesday against the Twins in the eighth inning with an undisclosed injury, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Brash threw only two pitches, the second of which being a changeup that was spiked into the dirt. After a conversation with the Mariners trainer and manager Dan Wilson, Brash walked off the field. Seattle should have more on his status soon. The right-hander entered action Wednesday having allowed only one unearned run with an 8:2 K:BB over 11.1 innings this season.

Nimmo was removed from Wednesday's game against the Yankees due to right hamstring tightness, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. He went 1-for-2 with a walk prior to his exit.

After reaching base on an infield single in the fifth inning, Nimmo appeared to tweak his leg while advancing to third base on a fielder's choice later in the frame. The outfielder met briefly with a team trainer before the Rangers summoned Sam Haggerty from the bench to pinch run for him. Nimmo will presumably be sent in for further testing, but even if his tight hamstring isn't significant enough to send him to the injured list, the 33-year-old may not be ready to rejoin the lineup for Friday's series opener in Detroit.

The Tigers placed Mize on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a right adductor strain.

After exiting midway through the third inning of his start Tuesday against Atlanta due to a tight groin, Mize was diagnosed with the adductor strain following an MRI on Wednesday. According to Chris McCosky of The Detroit News, Mize's strain is of the Grade 1 variety, offering hope that the right-hander may be ready to able to return from the IL in close to the minimum amount of time. Justin Verlander (hip) has been ramping up his throwing program and could eventually beat Mize back from the IL to claim the open spot in the rotation, but the Tigers may have to turn to Sawyer Gipson-Long or Drew Anderson to make a spot start when Mize's turn comes up Sunday versus the Rangers.
