The Giants placed Winn on the 15-day injured list Thursday with right elbow neuritis.

Winn missed more than a month of action earlier this season with a right elbow strain, and he will now be shelved for at least the next couple weeks. Reiver Sanmartin is taking Winn's spot on the Giants' roster.

Adames went 3-for-4 in Wednesday's 1-0 win over Cleveland.

After missing four straight games with back spasms, Adames returned to action Wednesday. The veteran shortstop hit singles in the first, sixth and eighth innings, marking his sixth game of the season recording three or more hits. He's batting .262 through 49 plate appearances in August and is now slashing .229/.288/.416 with 59 runs scored, 48 RBI, 19 long balls and five stolen bases across 489 plate appearances this season.

Kirk went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Rays.

The backstop got the Jays on the board with a solo shot off Drew Rasmussen in the top of the fourth inning. Kirk has left the yard in consecutive games and three times in the last five as part of an eight-game hitting streak. Over that heater, he's produced a .424/.500/.758 slash line with two doubles, five runs, nine RBI and a 5:2 BB:K.

Jensen is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Athletics.

Jensen -- who is sporting a .178/.302/.346 batting line in the second half -- will get a routine breather after starting the last four contests. Luke Maile is grabbing a start at catcher for the Royals.

Caglianone (ankle) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

Caglianone had to be pulled from Wednesday's contest due to right ankle soreness. Per Anne Rogers of MLB.com, Caglianone said after that game that the ankle issue had "been nagging for a little bit," but he's confident he "should be back in here pretty soon." Nick Loftin is playing right field Thursday in Caglianone's stead.

Clement (illness) will start at second base and bat seventh in Thursday's contest against the Rays.

Clement was unavailable for Wednesday's game because he was under the weather, but he'll give it a go in Thursday's series finale. The infielder has produced just a .550 OPS so far in August.

Bateman (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Rays.

Bateman had to be removed from Wednesday's game because of right hamstring tightness, so it's not a surprise he's not ready to play in Thursday's afternoon contest. Per Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca, an MRI on Bateman's hamstring came back negative, and he could be available off the bench. Myles Straw will handle center field for Toronto.

DeLauter (hamstring) is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants.

DeLauter tweaked his left hamstring during Sunday's game versus the Padres, and he will now miss a fourth consecutive start. To this point, the Guardians have considered DeLauter day-to-day, but he'll need to improve in a hurry to avoid the injured list.

Adell (knee) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants.

Adell will miss a second straight start after departing Tuesday's game with left knee soreness. He is considered day-to-day. The Guardians will roll out Steven Kwan, Petey Halpin and Angel Martinez in the outfield for Thursday's series finale.

Walls is not in the lineup for Thursday's tilt versus the Blue Jays.

He'll get a day off after starting the first two games of the series. Jorge Mateo will cover shortstop for the Rays in Walls' stead.
