Stott went 2-for-5 with a solo homer and a second run scored in Thursday's 5-4 win over Arizona.

Stott got the Phillies on the board with a leadoff homer to right field to open the second inning. He came right back with a single in the third before coming around to score on an Alex Bohm double, putting Philadelphia up 3-0. The second baseman has been red-hot at the dish this month, hitting .354 (17-for-48) with two homers, six RBI and nine runs scored. He's also homered in two of his last three games and has multiple hits in four of his last six.

Semien went 0-for-3 before being ejected from Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Angels.

He appeared to check his swing on a 3-2 pitch that the first base umpire ruled a swinging strike three. Semien was not pleased and was tossed in between innings, as was manager Bruce Bochy and pitching coach Mike Maddux. As a result, Ezequiel Duran finished out the game at second base.

Marte went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Thursday's 5-4 loss to Philadelphia.

Marte returned to the starting lineup after being given two days off due to back tightness, although he did serve as a pinch hitter Wednesday. His third-inning homer briefly gave Arizona a lead, but starter Ryne Nelson couldn't hold it. The home run was the 10th in 64 games for Marte, who hit 12 in 137 games last season.

Wong was traded from the Mariners to the White Sox on Thursday, Mike Curto of the Tacoma Rainiers broadcast team reports.

The return for the Mariners was unclear, though the move opened up a needed roster space for Triple-A Tacoma. Wong has recorded 109 plate appearances this season with Tacoma and maintained a .315/.422/.500 line. However, the 28-year-old has earned only 18 big-league plate appearances during his career and will likely remain organizational depth with the White Sox.

Drury (suspension) isn't in the Angels' lineup Thursday against Texas, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Drury received a one-game suspension after making contact with an umpire during Monday's game, and he will pay the price Thursday. While Drury sits, Luis Rengifo will fill in as the Angels' second baseman and bat ninth.

Lux (knee) said Thursday that he's on track to begin a running program early next week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Lux is progressing more quickly than anticipated in his recovery from March 8 surgery to repair the ACL and LCL tears in his right knee, though the expectation remains that he will not appear in a game for the Dodgers this season. Miguel Rojas continues to serve as the primary shortstop in Los Angeles.

Dubon isn't in the Astros' lineup Thursday against Washington.

After going 2-for-9 with a home run during Houston's first two games against the Nationals, Dubon will sit out the series finale Thursday. Chas McCormick will take over in left field and bat leadoff.

The White Sox selected Remillard's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday, Daryl Van Schowen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Remillard is batting .236/.344/.354 with five homers in 59 games at Charlotte this season. The 29-year-old can play all over the field and will be making his major-league debut when he gets into a game.

Albies went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader sweep of the Tigers.

After reaching base three times in the matinee on two walks and a single, Albies flexed his muscles in the nightcap, launching a Michael Lorenzen changeup deep to right field in the second inning for his 15th homer of the year. The switch-hitting second baseman has caught fire in June, and over his last 10 games he's batting .333 (12-for-36) with four long balls, two steals, eight RBI and 10 runs.

Julien is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Tigers.

Julien started each of the first four games after his recall and was in the leadoff spot every time. Those were against right-handers, though, and the left-handed batter will begin Thursday on the bench versus southpaw Matthew Boyd. Kyle Farmer will be at second base.
