  • Kyle Bradish SP | BAL

    Orioles' Kyle Bradish: To face live hitters next week

    Bradish (elbow) will head to Baltimore's complex in Florida on Sunday and will begin throwing live batting practice, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Bradish is on track in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, recently completing a goal he set in May of facing live hitters at the start of July. Bradish will likely require a few live sessions before seeing game action. He shouldn't be expected back until at least early August.

  • Carlos Santana 1B | ATL

    Guardians' Carlos Santana: Taking seat Friday

    Santana is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.

    Santana will yield to Kyle Manzardo at first base Friday, ending Santana's three-game start streak. The veteran first baseman is 13-for-77 (.169) with a pair of home runs in June.

  • Wyatt Langford LF | TEX

    Rangers' Wyatt Langford: Dealing with strained oblique

    Langford said Friday that he's dealing with a minor strained left oblique and believes the Rangers will give him a few days off before deciding about placing him on the 10-day injured list, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

    Langford is not in the lineup for Friday's series opener against the Mariners and could sit out the entire weekend after he was removed from Wednesday's game with the injury. Langford missed time at the beginning of the season with an oblique strain and has also dealt with some back stiffness of late. The 23-year-old is slashing .232/.308/.421 with 13 home runs, 31 RBI, 32 runs scored and 11 stolen bases across 292 plate appearances this season.

  • Luis Urias 2B | TOR

    Athletics' Luis Urias: Idle Friday

    Urias isn't part of the starting nine for Friday's game against the Yankees.

    Urias will get the night off Friday after making nine consecutive starts at second base. In his place, Max Schuemann will bat ninth and play the keystone.

  • Austin Wynns C | TEX

    Athletics' Austin Wynns: On bench Friday

    Wynns is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.

    Wynns has one hit in his last 15 at-bats, and he'll get the night off Friday. Willie MacIver will bat eighth and fill in behind the dish.

  • Nick Burdi RP | NYM

    Red Sox's Nick Burdi: Suffers setback

    Burdi (foot) has been shut down due to a hip injury, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    Burdi had been rehabbing at Triple-A Worcester, but he hasn't appeared in a game since June 15. It's now known he's picked up a hip injury and has been temporarily shut down. The severity of his setback is unclear.

  • Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Rehab assignment pending

    Yoshida (shoulder) could begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    Yoshida is expected to play outfield during his rehab stint, a notable development considering Yoshida exclusively played DH in 2024. It's unclear how many games Yoshida will need to ramp up, but he's nearing a big-league return. He's been on the shelf since October after undergoing right shoulder surgery.

  • Justin Slaten RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Justin Slaten: Starting up throwing program

    Slaten (shoulder) is scheduled to play catch Saturday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

    It will be the right-hander's first time throwing since he landed on the injured list nearly a month ago due to shoulder inflammation. Slaten will require some time to build back up in his throwing program, so he shouldn't be expected to rejoin the Red Sox until after the All-Star break.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Taking swings Friday

    Bregman (quadriceps) will hit Friday and take groundballs Saturday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    Bregman has been running since the start of June, but he hadn't yet resumed baseball activities. However, the third baseman will begin hitting and fielding groundballs this weekend, which is a big step in his recovery from a right quad strain. He isn't expected to return before the All-Star break, however.

  • Denzel Clarke OF | ATH

    Athletics' Denzel Clarke: Resting Friday

    Clarke is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.

    Clarke will get the night off Friday after making four consecutive starts in center field. In his place, JJ Bleday will bat seventh and patrol center field.
