The Orioles placed Alexander on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a fractured left hand, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

The move is retroactive to July 13, as Alexander suffered the injury in Sunday's game against the Royals when he was hit by a pitch in the hand. He's likely looking at more than the minimum stay on the injured list. Alexander is enjoying a career year in his first season with Baltimore, slashing .312/.368/.439 with four homers, 29 RBI, 31 runs scored, nine stolen bases and a 16:54 BB:K across 246 plate appearances. Alexander has become the Orioles' everyday third baseman. Coby Mayo, Jeremiah Jackson and Christian Encarnacion-Strand could all see extra playing time with Alexander sidelined.

The Athletics selected White's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

White has quickly ascended the ranks of the Athletics' farm system since being drafted 40th overall in 2024, and he'll now get a chance to contribute for the big club after slashing .303/.345/.489 with nine homers, 47 RBI and 44 runs in 55 games at Las Vegas. The 23-year-old will help bolster the Athletics' corner-infield depth and could even make a handful of starts while both Nick Kurtz (thumb) and Zack Gelof (knee) are on the injured list.

Camerino (hand) said he plans to be in the lineup for both games of Friday's doubleheader against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The 23-year-old had X-rays come back negative after being hit by a pitch on the left hand during Tuesday's All-Star Game, and he doesn't expect to need any time off to begin the second half of the season. Caminero entered the break on a bit of a skid at the plate with a .143 average (4-for-28) and 32.4 percent strikeout rate in his last eight games, though all four of his hits in that span went for extra bases.

Caminero was removed from the All-Star Game on Tuesday after getting hit on the hand by a pitch in the third inning, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Caminero left the game immediately after taking a 97.6-mph sinker off his left hand, though X-rays on his hand came back negative shortly after his departure, per Topkin. Caminero is considered day-to-day and will now have two days to rest and recover before the Rays begin their second-half schedule Friday in Boston.

Wilson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Rays.

Wilson added to Seattle's lead by taking Ian Seymour deep for a solo homer in the fourth inning. It was his second long ball of the season and first since the Mariners claimed him off waivers June 18. The utility man has seen limited production with his new club, going 3-for-18 across his first 10 games with Seattle.

Guzman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Twins.

Guzman had gone 15 games without a homer, hitting .236 with two doubles in that span. The infielder provided the Angels' second run of the game when he went deep off Taj Bradley in the seventh inning. Guzman is now hitting .262 with a .718 OPS, four homers, 14 RBI, 11 runs scored, four doubles and one stolen base over 114 plate appearances this season.

Manager Craig Albernaz said Alexander was diagnosed with a non-displaced fracture in his left hand after being hit by a pitch in Sunday's game against the Royals, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Alexander went 2-for-2 with a walk and two runs scored before being plunked in the bottom of the seventh inning and being replaced by a pinch runner. It's a brutal development for the 27-year-old, who is now likely to miss at least the next couple weeks after batting .365 (35-for-96) with 10 extra-base hits, three steals, 15 RBI and 16 runs in 32 games since the start of June.

The Athletics claimed Walton off waivers from the Angels on Sunday.

The 32-year-old was designated for assignment by the Angels on Wednesday but will end up back on a major-league roster. Walton played in 32 games for the Halos and was productive at the plate with three home runs and a .319/.352/.505 slash line in 97 plate appearances. He could push Jeff McNeil for playing time at second base while the Athletics contend with injuries to two of their everyday infielders in Nick Kurtz (thumb) and Zack Gelof (knee).

Loftin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

He'll head to the bench for the series finale while Josh Rojas receives the nod at third base. Loftin had started each of Kansas City's last six games, going 9-for-23 (.391 batting average) with one home run, three doubles, two walks, five runs and four RBI during that stretch.

Lewis went 2-for-4 with a double, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Angels.

The first baseman got the Twins on the board in the second inning by taking Ryan Johnson deep, then came home with the winning run in the seventh after a leadoff double. Lewis is still struggling to put together a true hot streak, but over his last 12 games he's batting .255 (12-for-47) with four doubles and three of his 10 homers on the season.
