Vientos (hamstring) said Thursday that he will be reinstated from the injured list Friday for the start of the Mets' series against Pittsburgh, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Vientos rejoined the team in New York on Thursday after playing seven rehab games at Triple-A Syracuse, during which he went 5-for-28 with six RBI and four runs scored. He'll receive an extra day off to rest before rejoining the active roster, at which point he'll likely take over as the Mets' primary DH while making an occasional start in the infield.

Wilken will be sidelined for 8-to-10 weeks after being diagnosed with a dislocated patella tendon in his left knee, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Wilken suffered the injury while celebrating Double-A Biloxi's first-half championship. He will not require surgery but will be shelved until at least mid-August. The 23-year-old is one of Milwaukee's top prospects and is slashing .230/.392/.550 with 18 home runs over 283 plate appearances with Biloxi in 2025.

X-rays on Ramirez's right forearm came back negative after he was lifted from Thursday's game versus the Blue Jays following a hit-by-pitch, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Ramirez was plunked by a Kevin Gausman pitch in bottom of the fourth inning and was removed from the game prior to the top of the fifth. However, Ramirez can be considered day-to-day after he avoided any fractures.

Ramirez was removed from Thursday's game against the Blue Jays after getting hit on the arm by a pitch, Chris Assenheimer of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Ramirez ran the bases for himself after taking a 95-mph fastball off his arm in the fourth inning, but he was replaced on defense when the Guardians took the field in the fifth. Initial X-rays on his arm came back negative, per Assenheimer, and the team has labeled the slugging third baseman as day-to-day going forward.

Schmitt (wrist) will undergo a CT scan Thursday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

X-rays on Schmitt's left wrist came back negative after he was hit by a pitch in Wednesday's game versus the Marlins, but he'll have additional testing to make sure he didn't suffer a fracture. Schmitt is not in the Giants' lineup Thursday, and the team could have more on his condition after the contest.

Muncy is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Colorado.

The left-handed-hitting Muncy doesn't always sit out versus lefty pitching, but he'll begin Thursday's tilt on the bench as the Rockies send southpaw Austin Gomber to the bump. Miguel Rojas will handle third base and bat ninth for the Dodgers.

Lewis (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Lewis was cleared to play in rehab games after running the bases without issue Thursday. The third baseman is eligible to be activated from the 10-day injured list at any time, but it's not clear how many rehab games the Twins will ask him to play.

Schuemann will start in left field and bat eighth in Thursday's game against the Tigers.

Schuemann will enter the starting nine for the first time since the Athletics' 11-4 loss to the Astros on June 18, when he stepped in for a resting Tyler Soderstrom while Houston sent lefty Framber Valdez to the hill. Though the Athletics haven't been treating the left-handed-hitting Soderstrom as a strict platoon player, he'll sit again Thursday versus Tigers southpaw Dietrich Enns to create room in the lineup for Schuemann, who is slashing .225/.351/.325 with one home run and three steals over 97 plate appearances this season.

Marte (oblique) started at designated hitter and went 0-for-4 with a run scored for Double-A Chattanooga on Wednesday.

This was Marte's first rehab game at an affiliate following a weekend spent in the Arizona Complex League. He's expected to play five consecutive games and then will be re-evaluated, per Greg Kuffner of MSN.com. Marte has been on the 10-day injured list since May 7.

Ramirez went 2-for-5 with two RBI in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Blue Jays.

Ramirez's 10th-inning single plated the game-winning run. He had earlier drove in the Guardians' first run. After a rare two-game hitless run in the middle of June, Ramirez has hit safely in six of the last seven contests, going 9-for-29 (.310) with one extra-base hit and four RBI. He leads the Guardians with 38 RBI over 76 games.
