Ferguson (oblique) will throw a bullpen session Thursday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

It appears to be the first time Ferguson has thrown off a mound since he suffered a right oblique strain in mid-March. Ferguson will need a rehab assignment before rejoining the Reds' bullpen.

Stowers (hamstring) has been doing fielding drills at first base while getting ready to begin a rehab assignment, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

The 28-year-old was a Gold Glove finalist in left field last season so a permanent position switch is unlikely, but the Marlins are looking for answers at first base after Christopher Morel (oblique) also landed on the IL right before Opening Day. "It's definitely a possibility," manager Clayton McCullough said about the chance Stowers sees time at first base when he's healthy. "I spoke with Kyle about this in November, over the offseason, that as much I value and we do as an organization, positional flexibility and optionality, Kyle potentially had a skill set to maybe do that." Four different players have already seen time at first base for Miami this season, and the position could remain a revolving door as McCullough mixes and matches his lineups depending on who's hot and who's on the mound for the opposition. Stowers could begin a rehab stint with Triple-A Jacksonville this weekend.

Lodolo (finger) will throw a bullpen session Thursday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

It will be his first time throwing off the mound since he exited a rehab start a week ago when he had a setback with the blister on his left index finger. Reds manager Terry Francona said that how aggressive Lodolo will be with his throwing during the bullpen session will depend on how he feels. If Lodolo is able to complete his mound work without any issues, more clarity should be available regarding a rehab start and return to the Reds' rotation.

Grisham is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Athletics.

The Yankees are facing a lefty for just the second time this season, and Grisham has been absent from the lineup for both contests. Cody Bellinger will slide over to center field and Randal Grichuk will get the start in left field.

Chisholm is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Athletics.

The Athletics are sending lefty Jeffrey Springs to the bump, allowing for the left-handed-hitting Chisholm to get his first day off of the season. Amed Rosario will cover second base and bat leadoff for the Yankees.

Barger (ankle) might only miss the minimum 10 days on the injured list, MLB.com reports.

The 26-year-old sprained his left ankle after landing on first base awkwardly Sunday while attempting to beat out a grounder, and he was placed on the IL on Tuesday, retroactive to April 6. Barger has been off to a slow start at the plate, batting .053 (1-for-19) through eight games, so the time off could allow him to reset.

Klassen is slated to start Saturday's game against the Reds in Cincinnati.

Summoned from Triple-A Salt Lake last weekend to make his MLB debut, Klassen faltered in his first start with the Angels, failing to escape the third inning while yielding two earned runs on three hits and five walks. Though the 24-year-old righty's control left much to be desired, he displayed lively stuff, recording four punchouts while finishing with a strong 30.1 percent called-strike-plus-whiff rate. With Ryan Johnson (illness) recently joining Grayson Rodriguez (shoulder) and Alek Manoah (finger) on the injured list, Klassen will get at least one more chance to prove that he's worthy of a spot in the big-league rotation.

Hagaman has not been assigned to an affiliate as he continues to build up in extended spring training, Sam Dykstra of MLB Pipeline reports.

He underwent internal brace surgery in 2024 and had an excellent return to action in 2025, logging a 2.98 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 27.6 K-BB% in 13 starts across the lower levels before striking out 14 in 12 innings in the Arizona Fall League. The Diamondbacks aren't saying Hagaman is hurt, but he presumably dealt with some soreness at some point in camp to be behind at this stage. He only logged 20 innings at High-A, but Hagaman could be ready for a bump to Double-A once he's fully built up, or shortly thereafter.

Langeliers is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.

Langeliers started each of the Athletics' first 11 games of the season, so he's earned a breather for Thursday's matinee in the Bronx. The A's will turn to Austin Wynns at catcher in the rubber match.

Riley went 1-for-3 with two walks, a double, three runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Angels.

It was a busy day on the basepaths for the third baseman, who isn't exactly known for his wheels -- the steal was just the eighth of Riley's career, and his first of 2026. He's still looking for his first homer of the year, and through 13 games Riley is slashing .200/.308/.244 with two doubles, three RBI and six runs.
