Robles will receive an MRI on his left hamstring Thursday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Robles appeared to tweak his left hamstring while running to third base during the second inning of Wednesday's win over Pittsburgh. More will be known about the severity of his injury once the MRI results come back Thursday, but a stint on the IL may be necessary for the 26-year-old. Ildemaro Vargas entered the game as Robles' replacement and could be in line for more outfield work if Robles ends up on the injured list, though it's possible the Nationals recall Jacob Young or Alex Call from Triple-A Rochester to make up for the lost outfield depth.

Manager Torey Lovullo said after Wednesday's loss that Perdomo is day-to-day with right knee discomfort, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Perdomo injured his knee rounding first base after reaching on an error during the bottom of the 10th inning. The team doesn't seem to be very concerned about his injury, and having a scheduled day off Thursday may allow the 24-year-old infielder to play again Friday against Atlanta without missing any games.

Hoskins went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Twins.

The 31-year-old slugger gave the Brewers an early 2-0 lead in the fourth inning when he ripped a hanging changeup from Chris Paddack into the second deck down the left-field line. It was Hoskins' second homer of the season and first in his new home stadium, and a quick start to his Milwaukee tenure has seen him go 5-for-17 through five games with five RBI, five runs scored and a 3:3 BB:K.

Chourio went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Twins.

Hitting leadoff against Chris Paddack, Chourio struck out in both his at-bats against the right-hander but then greeted Daniel Duarte with a blast to center field three pitches into the fifth inning. The rookie outfielder is 7-for-20 to begin his career with a homer, a steal and four RBI in five games, but a 1:6 BB:K offers at least a small yellow flag that leaner times could be ahead as pitchers build a book on Chourio.

Donovan was removed from Wednesday's game versus the Padres after getting hit by a pitch, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Donovan became the fourth Cardinal to get hit by a pitch Wednesday when he took a 95-mph sinker off his elbow during the top of the eighth inning -- his second HBP of the game. He remained in to run the bases but was replaced in left field by Mike Siani before the bottom half of the frame. The severity of Donovan's injury is unknown, but getting hit by two pitches may prompt a day off Thursday versus Miami at the very least.

Ross came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Twins, giving up two hits and five walks over 3.2 scoreless innings. He struck out three.

Making his first big-league start since late 2021, Ross threw only 38 of 73 pitches for strikes before being lifted, although he was able to avoid any damage from all the traffic he put on the basepaths. Despite the shaky outing, he might not be in much danger of losing his spot in the rotation for the time being. Per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Milwaukee will likely need to use a six-man rotation over the next month, as the team is scheduled for 13 games in a row and 26 over the next 27 days.

Perdomo was removed from Wednesday's game against the Yankees with an apparent knee injury, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Perdomo reached base on an error during the bottom of the 10th inning but was limping as he ran toward second base. The Diamondbacks will take him into the clubhouse for a closer look and should have more information on his status after Wednesday's contest.

Outman is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

Outman started the previous four games -- including one start against a southpaw -- but the young outfielder will sit Wednesday with lefty Kyle Harrison pitching for San Francisco. Enrique Hernandez will take over in center field and bat seventh.

Lux isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Wednesday's game against San Francisco.

The Giants will send out lefty Kyle Harrison to start Wednesday's contest, meaning the left-handed bat of Lux will retreat to the bench. Mookie Betts will shift to second base while Lux sits, allowing Miguel Rojas to start at shortstop and bat ninth.

King is recovering from right shoulder surgery in October and is expected to get in games later this summer, MLB.com reports.

A fourth-round pick in 2022, King is a glove-first catcher with no experience above rookie ball. He hit .324 with zero home runs, 23 strikeouts and five steals in 21 games in the Arizona Complex League last year as a 19-year-old.
