Luis Arraez 2B | PHI
Giants' Luis Arraez: Held out of lineup again Thursday
Arraez (foot) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Athletics.
Arraez will miss a second consecutive start after he had to depart Tuesday's game when he fouled a ball off the arch of his right foot. X-rays were clean, but Arraez remains sore. He's considered day-to-day. Casey Schmitt will cover second base again for the Giants in Thursday's series finale.

Zach Thornton SP | NYM
Mets' Zach Thornton: Getting call to pitch Friday
The Mets will recall Thornton from Triple-A Syracuse to pitch Friday against the Phillies, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
It's unclear whether he'll be in store for a traditional start or a bulk-relief outing, but Thornton has a chance to remain in the Mets rotation for a while following the trade of David Peterson and demotion of Kodai Senga to the bullpen. Thornton struggled in a spot start in his major-league debut last month, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks in 4.1 innings in a loss to the Nationals. The lefty holds a 4.25 ERA and 56:23 K:BB over 55 innings this season between Double-A Birmingham and Syracuse.

Jasson Dominguez RF | NYY
Yankees' Jasson Dominguez: Homers off Skubal on Wednesday
Dominguez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 4-2 victory versus the Tigers.
With Tigers ace lefty Tarik Skubal on the mound, Yankees manager Aaron Boone slid Dominguez into the No. 3 slot in the batting order. That move paid off when Dominguez broke a 2-2 tie with a two-run blast in the sixth inning. Dominguez struck out in each of his other three plate appearances, but his homer was ultimately the difference, as neither team scored for the remainder of the game. Since returning from the minors June 13, Dominguez has slashed .250/.268/.500 with two long balls, four doubles, four runs, three RBI, four stolen bases and a 1:12 BB:K.

Cooper Ingle LF | CLE
Guardians' Cooper Ingle: Getting outfield reps
Ingle has recently begun playing left field for Triple-A Columbus to potentially carve out another path to the majors, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
The 24-year-old has been focusing on improving his defensive abilities behind the plate at Triple-A, but recent injuries to Jose Ramirez (hand), Chase DeLauter (ribs) and Angel Martinez (foot) have resulted in some major lineup holes for Cleveland. Ingle has now made seven starts in left field at Columbus and should continue to see time there as the Guardians weigh their options. Ingle has certainly been able to handle Triple-A pitching by posting a .284/.416/.551 slash line and 12 homers through 51 games this season, so a promotion could come soon if he proves to be a serviceable option in left field.

Mitch Farris RP | LAA
Angels' Mitch Farris: Logs two scoreless frames Wednesday
Farris allowed one hit, issued one walk and struck out one batter over two scoreless relief innings against the Orioles on Wednesday.
Angels starter Jose Soriano struggled and was able to give the team only three innings before Farris was brought in to begin the fourth. The lefty reliever got into a bit of trouble by allowing a one-out double and then hitting Gunnar Henderson with a pitch, but Farris was able to get out of the frame unscathed thanks to a double play. He returned for the fifth and induced another double play en route to a second scoreless inning. Farris has covered two or more frames in nine of his 14 appearances this season and has posted a 3.45 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 31:16 K:BB with one hold across 31.1 innings.

Brandon Pfaadt SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Brandon Pfaadt: Making start for Arizona on Friday
The Diamondbacks will recall Pfaadt from Triple-A Reno to start Friday against the Rays at Tropicana Field, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
Pfaadt has been getting stretched back out during his time at Reno after he had been used in relief toward the end of his previous stint with Arizona. The right-hander threw 52 pitches over 3.2 innings in his last appearance with Reno over the weekend, so he will still be somewhat limited from a workload perspective Friday. Pfaaft should receive at least one additional start for the Diamondbacks after Friday while Ryne Nelson (elbow) and Michael Soroka (glute) remain on the injured list.

Jung Hoo Lee RF | SF
Giants' Jung Hoo Lee: Doubles in win
Lee went 2-for-4 with a double in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Athletics.
Lee lined a double to right field in the second inning and singled in the seventh, recording his fourth multi-hit performance over the last five games. The 27-year-old outfielder has been highly productive over 20 appearances in June, batting .408 with 16 runs scored, eight RBI, five stolen bases and two long balls in 81 plate appearances during that span. Overall, he's slashing .333/.367/.474 with 40 runs scored, 27 RBI, five home runs and five stolen bases across 289 plate appearances this season.

Mitch Bratt SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Mitch Bratt: Going back to minors
The Diamondbacks will option Bratt to Triple-A Reno prior to Thursday's game in St. Louis, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
Bratt had a solid abbreviated major-league debut Wednesday versus the Cardinals, yielding one run over three innings of work. The left-hander is not fully stretched out yet after recently returning from injury at Reno, so he will continue to rebuild his stamina at the team's top minor-league affiliate. Brandon Pfaadt will enter the Arizona rotation in Bratt's place.

Jorge Soler DH | LAA
Angels' Jorge Soler: Goes deep again Wednesday
Soler went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and two walks in a 7-6, 10-inning victory against Baltimore on Wednesday.
Soler got the Angels off to a fast start with a two-run blast to left field in the first inning. Though he didn't log another hit in the game, the veteran outfielder reached twice more via walks. Soler returned Monday from a stint on the injured list, and he's gone 2-for-9 with a pair of homers, four RBI and a 3:5 BB:K across three games since his return. Overall, Soler is slashing .220/.305/.422 with 11 long balls, 37 RBI, 30 runs and no stolen bases through 61 contests on the campaign.

Christian Koss SS | SF
Giants' Christian Koss: Begins rehab assignment
Koss (wrist) went 2-for-3 with an RBI in the ACL Giants' 9-1 win over the ACL Padres in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Wednesday.
After being optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on May 15, Koss fractured his left wrist and landed on the injured list. However, he began a rehab assignment in Arizona on Wednesday, logging two singles and an RBI over the first two innings before being lifted in the sixth. The 28-year-old infielder made San Francisco's Opening Day roster but slashed just .071/.133/.143 with a run scored in 15 plate appearances before being sent down.
