  • Vinny Capra 3B | BOS

    White Sox's Vinny Capra: Claimed by White Sox

    The White Sox claimed Capra off waivers from the Brewers on Thursday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Capra had been designated for assignment by Milwaukee last week after going just 4-for-54 at the dish. He is out of minor-league options, so the utility player will go directly onto Chicago's active roster.

  • Will Wagner 2B | SD

    Blue Jays' Will Wagner: Out at Triple-A with sore foot

    Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Thursday that Wagner has been sidelined recently at Triple-A Buffalo after fouling a ball off his foot, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Wagner hasn't played since Saturday but is expected back in action soon, per Schneider. The infielder is 8-for-30 with two home run in eight games with Buffalo since being optioned there in late April.

  • Ramon Urias 2B | HOU

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Resting up Thursday

    Urias is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.

    After a week-and-a-half-long absence due to a hamstring strain, Urias made his return from the injured list Wednesday. He started at third base and went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored during Baltimore's 6-3 loss in the first game of a doubleheader, then sat out a 8-6 loss in the second game. Emmanuel Rivera will receive a second straight start at the hot corner Thursday as the Orioles wrap up their series with the Twins, but Urias could see the bulk of the starts at the position once he's further removed from the hamstring injury.

  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Gets back on track with homer

    Garcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional RBI in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to Houston.

    It was the 14th multi-hit effort of the season by Garcia, who tallied multiple extra-base hits Wednesday for just the second time this year. The utility man had gone just 1-for-20 in his previous five outings, so it was a strong bounce-back performance as well. Garcia is still trending up overall, as he's batting .323 with three homers, five doubles, nine RBI and seven stolen bases over his last 65 at-bats.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Belts homer in back-to-back games

    Bregman went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to Detroit.

    Bregman -- who entered Wednesday's contest 1-for-11 with four strikeouts in his three prior games -- gave the Red Sox a 2-1 lead in the fourth inning, when he took Tarik Skubal deep to left-center field for a solo home run. Bregman has hit a home run in consecutive games and is up to 11 on the year, which is tied with Wilyer Abreu for most on the Red Sox and fourth-most in the American League. Bregman has a .981 OPS through 199 plate appearances this season, which is his highest since the 2019 season with the Astros (1.015).

  • Luis Rengifo 3B | LAA

    Angels' Luis Rengifo: Not starting Wednesday

    Rengifo is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Padres on Wednesday, Jack Janes of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

    Rengifo will take a seat Wednesday while Tim Anderson starts at second base and bats ninth. Rengifo has gone 3-for-26 (.115) with one stolen base, three runs scored and three RBI since the beginning of May.

  • Gage Workman 3B | DET

    Tigers' Gage Workman: Returns to Tigers

    Workman cleared waivers Wednesday and was returned to the Tigers, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Since being selected by the Cubs in the Rule 5 Draft this offseason, Workman has slashed .188/.235/.250 in the majors and has been cast off the active rosters of both Chicago clubs. He'll now return to his original organization without a spot on the 40-man roster and will presumably report to Triple-A Toledo to serve as organizational depth.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Clubs three-run homer

    Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a walk, a three-run homer and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 9-5 loss against the Brewers.

    The 32-year-old launched a three-run shot to center field during the eighth inning to cut into a 7-2 deficit, but Cleveland was unable to rally any further. It was Ramirez's second homer in as many days, which brings his total to eight for the season. In addition to the long balls, the third baseman continues to be one of the most productive hitters in the league with 12 steals and a .295/.363/.510 slash line through 41 games.

  • Royce Lewis 3B | MIN

    Twins' Royce Lewis: On bench for second game of day

    Lewis is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Orioles.

    Lewis is just over a week removed from returning from a long stint on the injured list due to a hamstring strain, so the Twins are seemingly just giving him some rest in the second half of the twin bill. He started at third base in the Twins' 6-3 win in Game 1, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts.

  • Ramon Urias 2B | HOU

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Idle for second game of day

    Urias is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Twins.

    After being activated from the injured list earlier in the day, Urias started at third base and went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in the Orioles' 6-3 loss in Game 1. Urias should see the bulk of the starts at third base for Baltimore until Jordan Westburg (hamstring) returns from the injured list. Emmanuel Rivera will spell Urias at the hot corner for the second half of Wednesday's twin bill.
