Astros' Zach Dezenzo: Still not hitting
Dezenzo (hand) has not resumed hitting since being placed on the injured list June 3, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
There haven't been many updates on Dezenzo's status, likely because he hasn't made much progress in his recovery from a capsule strain in his hand. There's no timeline for his return, though he'll almost certainly be out until July.

Mike Tauchman CF | NYM
White Sox's Mike Tauchman: Suffers another injury
Tauchman exited the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against St. Louis with right groin soreness, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Tauchman entered the game as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and reached base on a single and a walk in his two plate appearances. However, he was removed from the contest after being thrown out at home in the ninth frame. Tauchman is considered day-to-day but has spent much of the 2025 season on the injured list due to a hamstring injury, so it's possible the issues are related.

Chris Paddack RP | TEX
Twins' Chris Paddack: Another shaky start
Paddack (3-6) picked up the win Thursday against the Reds, allowing four runs on six hits and no walks with three strikeouts over five innings.
Fresh off a nine-run, 12-hit start last week, Paddack failed to bounce back Thursday, yielding a trio of extra-base hits, including a two-run home run by Gavin Lux. It's been an uncharacteristic stretch of play for Paddack, who had allowed two or fewer runs in six consecutive starts before his past two outings. On the year, Paddack owns a 4.48 ERA and a 56:23 K:BB across 80.1 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Mariners in his next start.
