Foley was placed on the 7-day injured list by Triple-A Toledo on Thursday due a right shoulder strain, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Foley struck out nine and permitted just one hit over 6.2 scoreless innings in his first five appearances with Toledo, but he hadn't pitched in several days and now it's been revealed why. It's not clear how long he might be sidelined, but the former Tigers closer will not be an option for the big club for a while.

Dobbins will be recalled from Triple-A Worcester to start Friday's game against the White Sox, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora indicated previously that Dobbins was the likely choice to pitch Friday, and that is indeed the direction the team will go in. The 25-year-old was charged with two runs over five innings in his major-league debut versus the Cardinals earlier this month. With Brayan Bello (shoulder) due back next week, this will be a spot start for Dobbins.

Naylor is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest in Baltimore.

Naylor caught each of the first two games of the series but will yield to Austin Hedges for the finale. The 25-year-old Naylor sports just a .516 OPS across his first 45 plate appearances in 2025.

Manzardo is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Baltimore.

Manzardo is just 1-for-14 at the dish over his last five games, so he'll get a day off to regroup. Jose Ramirez is handling designated-hitter duties for the Guardians on Thursday, while Gabriel Arias plays third base and Daniel Schneemann covers second.

Renfroe is not in the lineup for Thursday's tilt in Detroit.

Renfroe has now started only three of the last nine games against right-handed pitching and hasn't started consecutive contests over that span. Cavan Biggio will patrol right field and hit seventh for Kansas City.

Melendez is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Detroit.

Right-hander Reese Olson is on the bump for the Tigers, but the lefty-hitting Melendez will grab a seat. Drew Waters will start in left field and bat eighth for the Royals.

Morel isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Morel will get a chance to catch his breath Thursday after making 10 consecutive starts, during which he slashed .289/.341/.447 over 41 plate appearances. His absence will give Richie Palacios (finger) a chance to make his season debut in left field after spending the first several weeks of the season on the injured list.

Jansen isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Jansen will grab a seat on the bench in Thursday's series opener after going just 1-for-11 over his last four games. Ben Rortvedt will catch for Taj Bradley as a result and bat eighth.

Lewis (hamstring) will do some light baserunning Thursday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

While he won't be running full-bore, this appears to be the first time Lewis has run the bases since he suffered a strained left hamstring in mid-March. Lewis has also taken on-field batting practice and gone through defensive drills this week, so he is making clear progress. That said, it's uncertain when he will be ready for a rehab assignment, so a target for his return to the Twins' lineup remains up in the air.

Lopez (hamstring) will make a rehab start with Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Lopez got through a 31-pitch bullpen session Wednesday without any issues with his right hamstring, clearing the path for him to make a rehab start. It should be the only one he needs before rejoining the Twins' rotation, which can happen as soon as April 24 against the White Sox.
