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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Gorman is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Cincinnati.

The left-handed-hitting Gorman is in a 1-for-17 funk at the plate and the Reds are starting southpaw Andrew Abbott, so Gorman will sit out Thursday's series finale. Luken Baker is at designated hitter and batting sixth.

Tawa batted leadoff and went 0-for-5 in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Mets.

Tawa typically occupies the ninth spot in the order against pitchers of either hand. Against lefties, Corbin Carroll is dropped to second and Geraldo Perdomo leads off, but Perdomo was getting a rest day Wednesday, prompting Tawa's promotion. Once Ketel Marte (hamstring) returns from the 10-day injured list, he'll be the default leadoff batter against southpaws. Tawa is batting .182 (10-for-55) with a .728 OPS (six extra-base hits) over 18 games.

Keith went 1-for-2 with a walk, a two-run home run and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 7-4 victory over the Astros.

Keith has seen his playing time dip recently, as this was just his fourth start over Detroit's last eight contests, though he did start all three games of the series against Houston. The second-inning home run was the first of the season for the 23-year-old, who is still batting just .181. Keith may have to get on a hot streak soon to hold onto anything close to an everyday role.
