  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Back with big club

    The Orioles recalled Jackson from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.

    He will provide utility depth and could get some starts against left-handed pitching while Blaze Alexander (back) is sidelined. Jackson has slashed .226/.255/.359 with seven home runs in 89 games for the Orioles this season.

  • 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.

  • Jeff McNeil 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Jeff McNeil: Exiting starting lineup

    McNeil is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Blue Jays.

    McNeil started each of the previous 12 contests for the Athletics, but he'll take a seat during Wednesday's matinee. Tommy White will handle first base, and Donovan Walton will be covering second base for the rubber match.

  • 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.

  • Hao Yu Lee 2B | DET

    Tigers' Hao-Yu Lee: Taking seat Wednesday

    Lee is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Twins.

    After making 17 straight starts, Lee has now been on the bench for two of three during the series versus the Twins. Gleyber Torres will be at second base, and Kevin McGonigle will play third base for the Tigers.
