  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Labeled day-to-day

    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.

    Campbell was diagnosed with rib soreness that he reportedly felt while stretching. It appears as if a stint on the injured list is not currently being considered, though more details about his status should emerge Friday.

  • Adael Amador SS | COL

    Rockies' Adael Amador: Sitting down Thursday

    Amador isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants.

    Despite going 4-for-11 in his last three games, Amador will sit down for the third time in the last five days against Justin Verlander and the Giants. Kyle Farmer will fill in at second base and bat seventh.

  • Reds' Santiago Espinal: Drives in two runs

    Espinal went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 9-1 win against the Cardinals.

    Espinal delivered his second consecutive multi-hit game and finished the three-game set versus St. Louis with five hits in nine plate appearances. The 30-year-old hasn't had a regular presence in the lineup since Matt McLain returned from his hamstring injury in mid-April, but Espinal has been performing well as a bench option this year with a .324/.378/.382 slash line through 23 contests.

  • 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.

  • Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: On injured list with fractured rib

    The Giants placed Fitzgerald on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left rib fracture.

    Fitzgerald dealt with a chest contusion that sidelined him in both games over the weekend, but was able to return to action Tuesday and Wednesday. After going 1-for-5 in those two contests, he will spend some time on the injured list with Brett Wisely being recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday. Fitzgerald had an MRI on Thursday that revealed the fracture, and he expected to be out at least two weeks, per Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle.

  • Brett Wisely 2B | TB

    Giants' Brett Wisely: Recalled from Sacramento

    The Giants recalled Wisely from Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday.

    With Tyler Fitzgerald on the injured list and set to miss time due to a fractured rib, the Giants will turn to Wisely to replenish their infield depth. The 25-year-old has been in the minors all season, slashing .235/.325/.431 with five homers, 19 RBI, 18 runs scored and three stolen bases through 27 games. He'll likely operate in a reserve role while Christian Koss receives the bulk of starts at the keystone.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Grabbing seat Thursday

    Gimenez is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Red Sox.

    Gimenez is in a 4-for-51 freefall at the plate, so he will get a day off to regroup. Ernie Clement is at second base and Addison Barger is handling third base for Toronto.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Back in Milwaukee lineup

    Turang (illness) will start at second base and bat leadoff in Thursday's contest against the White Sox.

    Turang was scratched from the lineup ahead of Wednesday's 6-4 win and was sent back to the team hotel while he battled a stomach bug, but he's ready to roll for Thursday's series finale. The second baseman is slashing .317/.368/.408 with three home runs and eight stolen bases in his first 30 games for the Brewers this season.

  • Mets' Luisangel Acuna: Taking seat Thursday

    Acuna is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Jeff McNeil has mostly been playing in the outfield since returning from the injured list a week ago, but he'll return to his more natural spot at second base Thursday, which leaves no room in the lineup for Acuna. The 23-year-old had occupied the keystone for each of the Mets' last five games, going 6-for-20 with two runs, two RBI and a stolen base.

  • Dameury Pena 2B | MIN

    Twins' Dameury Pena: Shut down at Single-A

    Single-A Fort Myers placed Pena on its 7-day injured list April 16 due to an unspecified injury.

    The 19-year-old infield prospect was hitting .259/.323/.407 with a home run and two stolen bases across 31 plate appearances for Fort Myers before being deactivated.
