Kristian Campbell 2B | BOS
Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Held out again Friday
Campbell (ribs) remains out of the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Twins.
Campbell was scratched from Thursday's lineup with sore ribs and will miss a second straight start. It's unclear whether he will be available off the bench. David Hamilton will play second base in Campbell's stead.

David Hamilton SS | BOS
Red Sox's David Hamilton: Starts at second base
Hamilton started at second base and went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jays.
Hamilton filled in for Kristian Campbell, who was scratched from the lineup after feeling rib soreness while stretching prior to the game. Hamilton's potential value has been limited due to lack of playing time behind Campbell. Thursday's steal was his third in 14 games, and the activity was his first appearance in a week. He'll be the primary fill-in at the keystone while Campbell is unavailable.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Lands on IL with oblique strain
The Yankees placed Chisholm on the 10-day injured list Friday with a right oblique strain.
Chisholm suffered the injury during Tuesday's game in Baltimore. While he and the team were holding out hope that he could avoid a stint on the IL, it ultimately didn't happen. Chisholm will be eligible for activation May 10, but it's uncertain at this point whether he'll be ready to go on that date. Pablo Reyes and Oswald Peraza should see the bulk of the second-base reps while Chisholm is shelved.

Marcus Semien 2B | NYM
Rangers' Marcus Semien: Getting better
Semien went 1-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Thursday's 3-0 loss to the Athletics.
Like several Texas hitters Semien is off to a slow start, but he's coming around. Thursday's single extended his hit streak to six games, during which he's batting .400 with a .520 on-base percentage. Since being dropped from leadoff to the fifth spot in the batting order, Semien has a .787 OPS over 10 games compared to .401 in 21 games atop the order.

Athletics' Zack Gelof: Begins rehab assisgnment
Gelof (wrist) is 1-for-4 with a walk for Triple-A Las Vegas in the first two games of a rehab assignment that began Tuesday.
Gelof underwent surgery in March to repair a fractured hamate bone in his right wrist. He'll likely need a week or more of rehab games before he's ready to be activated from the injured list.

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Dealing with hamstring issue
Torres is dealing with a hamstring injury and will not be in the lineup Friday against the Angels, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Torres was removed from Thursday's game after singling to lead off the eighth inning. Manager A.J. Hinch stated after the contest that Torres was set for a day off Friday regardless of the injury, so there doesn't seem to be much concern about the issue at this point.

Campbell (ribs) is considered day-to-day after being scratched from the lineup Thursday against the Blue Jays, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Scratched Thursday
Campbell was scratched from the lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the Blue Jays due to right rib discomfort, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
The severity of Campbell's injury remains unknown, but it's apparently enough of a nuisance to warrant a day off Thursday. While we wait for more information, Jarren Duran will shift to center field to cover for the 22-year-old, opening up left field for Rob Refsnyder.
