Wilson (0-2) took the loss Thursday against Cincinnati, allowing seven runs on 10 hits and one walk with three strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

Wilson made his fifth consecutive appearance at the back end of an injury-depleted White Sox rotation, and he allowed his most hits and runs in an outing this season, including three solo home runs. Since stepping into the rotation, Wilson has posted a 6.86 ERA across 21 innings. He's tentatively scheduled for a start next week against the Mariners.

Keirsey went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Thursday's 4-0 win over the Orioles.

Keirsey tagged Tomoyuki Sugano for a two-run shot in the third inning -- the first of back-to-back home runs for the Twins. The long ball was Keirsey's first of 2025 and the second of his big-league career. The 28-year-old entered Thursday's contest with one hit in his previous 21 at-bats. Keirsey has played in 33 games this season but has just 39 plate appearances as he's often entered as a pinch runner or late-inning defensive replacement.

Smith is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Texas.

Following a stretch of four straight starts in right field, Smith has now been out of the lineup in consecutive games. Playing time for the rookie continues to be hit-or-miss over the last few weeks, and he hasn't helped himself by batting just .179/.319/.231 over the last 12 contests. Zach Dezenzo is in right field and batting ninth for the Astros on Thursday.

The Orioles confirmed Thursday that Reilly has undergone a right elbow UCL reconstruction, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Reilly had been sidelined with an elbow injury and recently was moved to the full-season injured list at Double-A Chesapeake, so the news that he required a UCL repair doesn't come as a surprise. The 23-year-old righty will likely be sidelined until around midseason next year.

Buxton entered concussion protocol after exiting Thursday's game against Baltimore following a collision with Carlos Correa, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Buxton appeared to bang heads with a backpedaling Correa while chasing down a shallow flyball in the third inning. The latter left the game immediately after the incident, and Buxton followed a half-inning later. Both of them are being evaluated for a concussion, and more details on their respective statuses should come out in the near future.

Correa is in concussion protocol after exiting Thursday's game versus the Orioles following a collision with teammate Byron Buxton, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Correa was backpedaling as he chased a pop-up in the third inning and his head snapped back violently after he collided with Buxton. The shortstop immediately left the game and Buxton -- who is also in concussion protocol -- was eventually pulled. The Twins could have more on the status of both players after the contest.

The White Sox claimed Capra off waivers from the Brewers on Thursday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Capra had been designated for assignment by Milwaukee last week after going just 4-for-54 at the dish. He is out of minor-league options, so the utility player will go directly onto Chicago's active roster.

Matthews is slashing .269/.398/.462 with four home runs, eight steals, a 17.3 percent walk rate and a 23.5 percent strikeout rate over his last 23 games with Triple-A Sugar Land.

Matthews hit for the cycle Saturday and all four of his home runs this year have come after April 15. He has also cut his strikeout rate after striking out 35.5 percent of the time in the first 14 games of the year. Matthews is the Astros' second baseman of the future, provided he makes enough contact at the highest level. He has a low chase rate (19.9 percent), but his 65.4 percent contact rate and 14.0 percent swinging strike rate are poor marks.

Buxton departed Thursday's game in Baltimore following a collision with teammate Carlos Correa, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Buxton and Correa collided in the bottom of the third inning while they were both chasing a pop-up that Buxton caught. Correa immediately exited the contest and Buxton joined him an inning later. The Twins should have more on Buxton's condition shortly. Buxton homered in one of his two plate appearances before leaving.

Correa was removed from Thursday's game against the Orioles due to an apparent injury, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Correa collided with Byron Buxton while chasing down a flyball in the third inning. Both players were down for a moment before returning to their feet, though Correa seemed to get the worst of it and was immediately lifted from the game. It's unclear exactly what kind of injury the infielder is dealing with, but the Twins should provide some more details once they take a closer look at him.
