    Twins' Brooks Lee: Lands on IL with biceps tendinitis

    The Twins placed Lee on the 10-day injured list Friday with right biceps tendinitis, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

    Lee recently missed some time with what had been referred to as right shoulder soreness, but there's now a different diagnosis and it's an injury bad enough to sideline him at least for the next 10 days. The rookie had seen most of his playing time of late at shortstop while Carlos Correa (heel) was out, but that job now should go to Willi Castro, with Austin Martin and Kyle Farmer mixing in at second base.

    Twins' Brooks Lee: Could be headed to injured list

    Lee (undisclosed) has been scratched from the lineup for the first game of Friday's doubleheader versus the Guardians and could be headed to the 10-day injured list, Declan Goff of SKOR North reports.

    It's unclear what injury Lee is dealing with, but he is no longer listed on the Twins' lineup card as a starter or reserve, so a stint on the IL looks imminent. The Twins should have more information on his status shortly.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Goes deep again Thursday

    Cabrera hit a solo home run in his only at-bat in a loss to the Angels on Thursday.

    Cabrera entered as a defensive replacement at shortstop in the eighth inning as a result of Anthony Volpe departing after fouling a ball off his foot earlier in the contest. Cabrera made the most of his lone plate appearance, swatting a solo shot to left field in the ninth frame. It was his second homer in as many games, and though X-rays on Volpe's foot came back clean, Cabrera could see an uptick in playing time if the former is forced to miss any contests.

  • Jazz Chisholm 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Homers in loss Thursday

    Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Angels on Thursday.

    Chisholm hit four homers over his first three games after joining New York at the trade deadline, but he came into Thursday in a bit of a rut with no long balls or RBI and a .174 batting average over six games since. He snapped the homer and RBI drought with a solo shot in the second inning, though he also struck out for the eighth time over his past four contests. Chisholm can be a bit streaky, but his overall numbers make for a strong fantasy asset, as he's slashing .250/.322/.430 with 18 homers, 59 RBI, 54 runs and 24 stolen bases over 109 games on the campaign.

  • Jason Vosler 3B | SEA

    Mariners' Jason Vosler: Headed back to Tacoma

    Vosler was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.

    Vosler will head back to Tacoma after spending over two weeks with the major-league club, going 5-for-28 with a triple, a double, three RBI and two runs scored. In a corresponding move, Dominic Canzone (thigh) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list.

  • Gio Urshela 3B | MIN

    Tigers' Gio Urshela: Resting Thursday

    Urshela isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Thursday's game against Seattle.

    Urshela will take a seat for Thursday's series finale after going 2-for-5 and driving in two RBI during Wednesday's victory. While he rests, Zach McKinstry will get the starting nod at the hot corner and bat eighth.

  • Coby Mayo 3B | BAL

    Orioles' Coby Mayo: Not starting Thursday

    Mayo isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Thursday's game against Toronto.

    Mayo has struck out in eight of his first 13 major-league at-bats, and he is still searching for his first career hit after five games in the big leagues. He'll get a day to regroup Thursday while Ramon Urias starts at the hot corner and bats ninth.

  • Athletics' Armando Alvarez: Productive in majors return

    Alvarez went 1-for-3 with an RBI single and a run in a win over the White Sox on Wednesday.

    Alvarez, who was summoned from Triple-A Las Vegas earlier in the day, drew the start at first base and delivered the Athletics' first run with his seventh-inning single. The 29-year-old rookie has performed well over a small sample in his long-awaited opportunity versus big-league pitching, as he now sports a .261 average and .320 on-base percentage during his seven total games with Oakland this season.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Homers in Game 1 of doubleheader

    Cabrera went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Wednesday in the first game of a twin bill versus the Angels.

    Cabrera belted New York's only homer in the doubleheader, smashing a solo shot to right field in the second inning of Game 1. He got the start at second base in that contest but returned to the bench and didn't see a plate appearance in the second game. Cabrera has seen his playing time shrink since the Yankees acquired Jazz Chisholm to play third base at the trade deadline -- Wednesday marked Cabrera's first start at any position across the team's past seven contests.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Productive in doubleheader

    Ramirez went 2-for-7 with a walk, a solo home run, an additional RBI and a stolen base over both games of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Diamondbacks.

    Ramirez logged his 25th steal of the campaign in the first game, then followed it up with his 30th homer of the year in the second contest. The third baseman has reached the 30-homer mark for the third time in his career, having previously done it in 2018 and 2021. He's gone 16-for-40 (.400) with six homers over his last 11 contests, and he's slashing .282/.335/.548 with 96 RBI and 85 runs scored across 111 games this year.
