Soderstrom (shoulder/head) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Soderstrom landed awkwardly on his right side after attempting to make a diving catch in left field Tuesday and was eventually taken out of the game. Manager Mark Kotsay said after the contest that the 24-year-old hasn't displayed any signs of a concussion but is dealing with some soreness, per Martin Gallegos of MLB.com, and the A's will opt to keep him on the bench Wednesday. Carlos Cortes will pick up a start in left field as a result and bat third.

Brash was taken out of Wednesday's game against the Twins due to side discomfort, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Brash entered for the eighth inning Wednesday and threw just two pitches before departing with the training staff. The severity of the injury isn't fully clear, but the right-hander will have a team day off Thursday to aid in his recovery before the Mariners begin their next series against the Royals on Friday.

The Diamondbacks optioned Hoffmann to Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.

Hoffmann will go back down to the minors following his rough performance against the Brewers on Tuesday, when he recorded just one out while allowing eight runs (seven earned) on eight hits and a walk. Prior to that disastrous outing, Hoffman posted a 2.38 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 12:7 K:BB across 11.1 major-league innings this year. Philip Abner was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

The Diamondbacks recalled Abner from Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.

Abner failed to crack the Diamondbacks' Opening Day roster, but he'll report to the big club prior to Wednesday's game against the Brewers. In nine appearances in Triple-A, Abner has a 4.82 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 7:3 K:BB across 9.1 innings. In a corresponding move, right-hander Andrew Hoffmann was optioned to Reno following Tuesday's game against Milwaukee.

Atlanta manager Walt Weiss said Wednesday that Iglesias (shoulder) could be reinstated from the 15-day injured list when first eligible next Tuesday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Per Grant McAuley of the Marietta Daily Journal, Iglesias completed a major step in his recovery from right shoulder inflammation by throwing off a mound Tuesday. Iglesias' shoulder is feeling a good a day later, and if he continues to respond well to his subsequent throwing sessions, Weiss believes that the right-hander will be able to bypass a rehab assignment before returning from the IL. Given the brevity of his absence, Iglesias should be able to reclaim closing duties upon his return, though Robert Suarez has converted both of his save chances without much drama since Iglesias hit the shelf.

Dominguez was diagnosed with a left elbow contusion after exiting Wednesday's game against the Rangers in the fourth inning following a hit-by-pitch, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Dominguez was lifted from the contest after being struck by an 89.1 mile per hour Nathan Eovaldi cutter. X-rays were already taken and came back inconclusive, per Chris Kirschner of The Athletic, and Dominguez will likely undergo additional testing when the Yankees return home this weekend. Consider Dominguez day-to-day heading into Friday's series opener versus the Orioles.

The Tigers recalled De Jesus from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.

De Jesus was sent down one week ago following a particularly ugly relief appearance. He turned in two scoreless frames for Toledo after the demotion and will now get another chance with the big club as Casey Mize (thigh) head to the injured list.

The Tigers recalled Jung from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday. He'll start at designated hitter and bat ninth in Detroit's matchup with Atlanta.

Though he'll be making his 2026 debut for Detroit in a non-defensive role, Jung will be an option for the Tigers at three infield spots (first base, second base and third base) while he's up with the big club. With Javier Baez (ankle) landing on the injured list in a corresponding move, the Tigers have an opening the everyday lineup, but it's not clear if Jung will be in line for regular starts or if Detroit will lean on a committee of players to replace Baez. Jung has struggled in his limited opportunities at the big-league level over the previous two seasons and got off to a so-so start to the campaign at Toledo, producing a .222/.358/.364 slash line and 103 wRC+ while striking out at 22.8 percent clip over 123 plate appearances.

The Tigers placed Baez on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right ankle sprain.

Baez suffered the injury while trying to leg out a base hit in Tuesday's loss to Atlanta and was carted off the field. The Tigers haven't revealed the severity of Baez's sprain, but he's likely to need more than just a minimum 10-day absence. Wenceel Perez and Matt Vierling should see upticks in playing time while Baez is shelved.

Strider (oblique) will return from the 15-day injured list to start Sunday's game against the Rockies at Coors Field, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Strider's left oblique checked out fine following his third and final minor-league rehab start last Sunday with Triple-A Gwinnett, setting the stage for the right-hander to make his 2026 debut with the big club. The 27-year-old gets a less-than-ideal landing spot for his first start with Atlanta in hitter-friendly Colorado, but he should be in line for relatively standard workload. He upped his pitch count to 82 and covered five innings in his final rehab outing.
