Anderson (9-10) earned the win over the Yankees on Thursday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over six innings.

Anderson surrendered a solo homer to Jazz Chisholm in the second inning but otherwise had little trouble with New York's lineup. The left-handed hurler notched his third quality start over his past eight contests and brought his ERA back down to a sub-3.00 mark at 2.99. One of Anderson's flaws in fantasy over the course of his career has been his low strikeout numbers, but he's seen an uptick in that category of late, as Thursday marked the fourth time over his past six outings that he's recorded at least seven punchouts. In fact, he has racked up a healthy 42 strikeouts across his past 37.2 frames.

Vierling was forced to exit Thursday's contest against the Mariners due to lower-back spasms, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Vierling left the game ahead of the bottom of the seventh inning, and it's unclear when he may have suffered the injury. He finished his night 0-for-3 from the plate and can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Volpe (foot) underwent X-rays on his left foot, which came back clean following Thursday's 9-4 loss to the Angels, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Volpe was forced to leave Thursday's contest in the eighth inning after dealing with foot pain stemming from a foul ball in the second frame. The shortstop avoided any fractures and is dealing with a contusion ahead of Friday's series opener at home against the Rangers. Manager Aaron Boone is uncertain if Volpe will be able to go Friday, but he can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Volpe was removed from Thursday's contest against the Angels in the eighth inning with an apparent left foot injury, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Volpe fouled a ball off his left foot in the bottom of the second inning and was ultimately removed from the contest as a result. He finished his day 0-for-3 from the plate, including a strikeout. The shortstop is set to be examined by the Yankees' head physician, and he should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.

Baez is dealing with neck soreness, leading to his removal from the lineup Thursday against Seattle, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Baez was a late removal from the lineup, which is now understood to have been the result of a neck issue. The 31-year-old can be considered day-to-day until more information is available.

Baez was scratched from the lineup Thursday versus the Mariners.

Baez was originally slated to start at shortstop Thursday, but he'll now take a seat. It's unclear why he was scratched, but Zach McKinstry will take over at shortstop while Ryan Vilade enters the lineup in right field and bats ninth.

Lowe suffered a right knee contusion in Thursday's contest against the Cardinals, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Lowe fouled a pitch off his right leg in the top of the first inning before ultimately striking out in what ended up being his only at-bat. The outfielder exited the contest before the bottom of the frame and subsequently underwent X-rays, which came back negative. Lowe should be considered day-to-day until his status is updated.

Vosler was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.

Vosler will head back to Tacoma after spending over two weeks with the major-league club, going 5-for-28 with a triple, a double, three RBI and two runs scored. In a corresponding move, Dominic Canzone (thigh) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list.

Bazardo was called up from Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.

Bazardo will return to the big-league bullpen after being sent down to Tacoma on July 12. The right-hander has made 13 appearances with Seattle this season, posting a 6.62 ERA and 1.08 WHIP over 17.2 innings, the latter of which suggests better results are ahead. Bazardo will replace Jonathan Hernandez on the major-league roster after Hernandez was designated for assignment Thursday.

Canzone (thigh) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Thursday.

Canzone will make his return to the major-league roster after missing nearly a month of action due to a right adductor strain. The 26-year-old produced a .375 average with three home runs, a double, six RBI and five runs scored over his six games with Triple-A Tacoma during his rehab assignment. Although he's not in the lineup Thursday, Canzone will likely step back into his starting role in right field as soon as Friday against the Mets.
