Jung is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Toronto.

Jung -- who had started every game since May 26 -- went hitless during the Rangers' last series in Miami, so he'll get a day to regroup. Ezequiel Duran will play the hot corner in Thursday's series opener versus the Blue Jays.

Durbin (finger) will start at third base and bat sixth in Thursday's contest versus the Yankees.

Durbin had to leave Wednesday's game against the Rockies due to a partial dislocation of his left pinkie finger. While Durbin's finger surely isn't fully recovered, he will attempt to play through the injury.

Caminero went 3-for-5 with three home runs and six total RBI in Thursday's 13-2 victory over the Royals.

Caminero opened the scoring with a two-run blast off Seth Lugo in the first inning and extended Tampa Bays' lead to 6-0 with a solo shot in the fifth. Caminero would then cap his huge day with a three-run shot off infielder Tyler Tolbert in the eighth. It's the first career three-homer game for Caminero, who's gone 12-for-31 (.387) with a 1.203 OPS in his last eight contests. The 22-year-old third baseman is now slashing .285/.377/.519 with 19 homers, 43 RBI and 49 runs scored across 342 plate appearances this season.

The Athletics placed Gelof on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a right hand contusion.

Gelof suffered a laceration and contusion when he got his hand stepped on in Tuesday's contest in San Francisco. The injury had seemed relatively minor initially, but Gelof ultimately was unable to avoid the IL. Max Muncy has seen a dip in playing time lately, but he should be back in the lineup on a regular basis while Gelof is sidelined.

Keys went 2-for-4 with a walk, two home runs and four RBI for Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.

The 23-year-old third baseman began the year with a .287/.419/.585 slash line and 14 homers in 49 games for Double-A New Hampshire, and since getting promoted to Buffalo in early June, Keys has kept right on slugging with a .288/.408/.712 line and six long balls in his first 17 games at Triple-A. A fourth-round pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft out of Bucknell, Keys is knocking loudly on the door of the majors, but it's unclear where he might fit this summer on a Blue Jays roster that has Vladimir Guerrero at first base, Kazuma Okamoto at third and George Springer at DH.

Muncy went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Giants.

Muncy opened the scoring with his eighth-inning blast. The infielder has handled a short-side platoon role since returning from a broken hand earlier in June. He's now batting .230 with a .725 OPS, five homers, 18 RBI, 20 runs scored, two stolen bases, six doubles and two triples over 38 games this season. Muncy could see an uptick in playing time if Zack Gelof (hand) or Jacob Wilson (shoulder) miss more action after sustaining injuries this week.

Gelof (hand) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's matchup against San Francisco.

Gelof will sit Wednesday after being removed from Tuesday's game early in the second inning after suffering a laceration and contusion on his right hand. Max Muncy will take over at third base for Gelof and bat eighth in the lineup.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Wednesday that Barger (elbow) will fly back to Toronto soon to be examined by the medical staff before potentially beginning a rehab assignment, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

The Blue Jays initially hoped Barger would be ready for a rehab assignment last week, but he's still feeling a bit of soreness in his right elbow at times when hitting. A revised timeline pointed toward Barger kicking off his rehab assignment Thursday, but it's unclear whether that could still happen. The 26-year-old has been sidelined since mid-May due to right elbow inflammation.

The Red Sox announced that Durbin was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rockies in the third inning due to a partial dislocation of his left pinkie finger, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Durbin went 0-for-2 before being lifted from the contest after suffering the injury while sliding into first base as he attempted to beat out an infield single. Interim manager Chad Tracy will likely elaborate further on Durbin's situation after the game, but for the time being, the 26-year-old infielder can be viewed as day-to-day. Durbin bats from the right side and throws right-handed, but the injury to his non-dominant hand could still present discomfort for him in the field and/or when he swings.

Rosario is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Detroit.

Ace lefty Tarik Skubal is on the bump for the Tigers, marking the first time all season that Rosario has not been in the lineup versus a southpaw when he was on the active roster. Jose Caballero will cover third base for the Yankees.
