    Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Dealing with quad tightness

    Bregman exited the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Orioles due to tightness in his right quadriceps. Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

    Bregman left the game in the fifth inning after coming up limping while rounding first base. The third baseman immediately called for a trainer and exited the field, and it's likely he'll continue to be evaluated Friday. Abraham Toro pinch ran for Bregman and is playing first base while Nick Sogard slides over to third base.

    Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Leaves with apparent leg injury

    Bregman exited the first game of Friday's doubleheader versus the Orioles in the fifth inning with an apparent leg injury, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    Bregman appeared to tweak something in his lower half as he rounded first base on a single. He called for the trainer and immediately exited the field somewhat gingerly. The Red Sox should offer an update on his condition shortly.

  • Addison Barger SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Contributes three hits in win

    Barger went 3-for-4 with a double, one RBI, and two walks in Thursday's 7-6 win over the Padres.

    Barger reached in five of his six plate appearances and improved his slash line to .267/.330/.442 in 94 plate appearances on the season. The 25-year-old has been feeling good at the plate lately, with Thursday being his fourth multi-hit performance in his last seven games, going 10-for-23 with three doubles and a home run in that stretch.

  • Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Expected to return in early June

    Westburg (hamstring) is expected to return in early June, MLB.com reports.

    Westburg has been recovering on the injured list since April 27 due to a strained left hamstring, and this timeline suggests he's beginning to progress after suffering a setback two weeks ago. Baltimore's plans remain uncertain as it pertains to a potential rehab assignment for the infielder, but it's likely Westburg will need to get some reps in the minor leagues since he'll soon have been sidelined for over a month. In the meantime, Ramon Urias should continue to serve as the Orioles' primary third baseman.

  • Mariners' Miles Mastrobuoni: Late addition to Thursday's lineup

    Mastrobuoni will hit eighth and play right field Thursday against the Astros.

    Mastrobuoni was not originally in Thursday's lineup but will enter to play right field after Julio Rodriguez (undisclosed) was a late scratch. Leody Taveras will shift from right field to center field.

  • Gio Urshela 3B | ATH

    Athletics' Gio Urshela: Destined for IL

    Urshela strained his left hamstring Thursday and will be placed on the injured list, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Urshela suffered the injury Thursday against the Angels, and the team wasted little time in making a determination about his status. The severity of the injury remains unclear, though Urshela's absence isn't likely to affect the A's lineup much on a daily basis as he already lost his regular role at third base.

  • Gio Urshela 3B | ATH

    Athletics' Gio Urshela: Exits with trainer

    Urshela was removed from Thursday's game against the Angels due to a left hamstring injury, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    The severity of Urshela's injury remains unknown, but the A's should provide more details relatively soon. The 33-year-old lost his grip on the starting third base job earlier this month and is slashing just .224/.276/.337 across 107 plate appearances in 2025.

  • Matthew Lugo SS | LAA

    Angels' Matthew Lugo: Out of Halos' lineup

    Lugo is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Athletics.

    After a stretch with five straight starts -- four of them coming in center field -- Lugo has now been on the bench twice in three games. It will be Kyren Paris in center field and batting ninth for the Angels in Thursday's series finale.

  • Luis Rengifo 3B | LAA

    Angels' Luis Rengifo: Taking seat Thursday

    Rengifo is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Athletics.

    It appears to be a routine day of rest for Rengifo, who had started each of the previous six tilts. Tim Anderson is at second base and batting seventh as the Halos try to run their winning streak to seven games.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    Angels' Yoan Moncada: Absent from lineup again Thursday

    Moncada is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

    Moncada has now been absent from the lineup two days in a row, and that's come after he hit a three-run homer Tuesday. The infielder has dealt with a nagging thumb issue, although there's no indication that that's the reason for his exclusion from the Angels' lineup. Kevin Newman is at third base and batting eighth Thursday.
