Kristian Campbell 2B | BOS
Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Sidelined at Triple-A
Campbell was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Worcester on Thursday with a left foot contusion, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
While the injury seems relatively minor, there's a chance it will end Campbell's season given how little of the schedule is left. Campbell put up a .631 OPS with just two home runs through the end of June at Worcester this season, but he's slashed .320/.440/.524 with six long balls since July 1.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. 2B | NYY
Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Move to IL made official
The Yankees placed Chisholm on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a right thumb sprain.
Chisholm was injured Tuesday on a slide into second base. He will be shut down from all baseball activities for 7-to-10 days before being re-evaluated, and the Yankees could know by that point whether he has a chance to make it back before the end of the regular season. Anthony Volpe has taken Chisholm's roster spot and could share second base with Jose Caballero while Chisholm is shelved.

Justin Foscue 2B | TEX
Rangers' Justin Foscue: Hit streak reaches seven games
Foscue started at second base and went 1-for-3 with a walk in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Seattle.
The Rangers faced Mariners left-hander Kade Anderson, which meant Foscue picked up a start. It was the fifth southpaw faced in the club's last eight games, and Foscue has done well with his recent surge in plate appearances. His single Wednesday extended a hit streak to seven contests, during which he's gone 8-for-20 with two doubles, one home run and seven RBI. Foscue is batting .271 with an .838 OPS across a career-high 218 plate appearances.

Hao Yu Lee 2B | DET
Tigers' Hao-Yu Lee: Patience on display Wednesday
Lee went 0-for-2 with three walks and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Twins.
Getting the start at second base and batting second, Lee did an effective job setting the table for the heart of Detroit's order. The rookie infielder is batting just .115 (3-for-26) in September, but he's drawn seven free passes and scored six runs in eight games. With the Tigers having fallen out of the wild-card picture, the 23-year-old will likely continue getting consistent playing time while bouncing between the keystone and the hot corner.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. 2B | NYY
Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Heading to IL with sprained thumb
Chisholm has been diagnosed with a right thumb sprain and will be placed on the 10-day injured list, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
Chisholm suffered the injury on a slide into second base during Tuesday's game versus the Rockies. He will be shut down from baseball activities for 7-to-10 days before being re-evaluated. Given the timing of the injury, it's possible Chisholm won't make it back before the end of the regular season. Anthony Volpe could replace Chisholm on the active roster, and if that happens Volpe is an option to share starts at second base with Jose Caballero.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Sitting out with thumb injury
Chisholm (thumb) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rockies.
Chisholm had to be lifted from Tuesday's contest against the Rockies after hurting his right thumb on a slide into second base. He is listed among the Yankees' reserves on the lineup card, so Chisholm has avoided a trip to the injured list for the time being. Jose Caballero is stepping in at second base in Chisholm's stead.

Donovan Walton 2B | ATH
Athletics' Donovan Walton: Drives sixth homer
Walton went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jays.
Walton roped a solo homer off Jose Soriano in the seventh inning to cut the deficit to 4-2, though no further comeback ensued for the Athletics. The journeyman infielder has started each of the past five contests at second base, going 3-for-15 (.200) during that stretch. In 76 games between the Angels and Athletics this season, Walton is hitting .272/.380/.451 with six homers, 23 RBI, 33 runs and two stolen bases.
