  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Lands on injured list

    The Phillies placed Bohm (hand) on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Sept. 3, due to a left hand strain.

    The 28-year-old hasn't seen the field since Aug. 29 due to the injury, and the Phillies finally opted to move him to the injured list after six straight absences. Bohm will be eligible to be reinstated Sept. 13, though it's unclear if he's expected to be healthy by that point. Buddy Kennedy was called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move, but it'll likely be a combination of Edmundo Sosa and Kody Clemens that fills in at third base for Philadelphia.

  • Coby Mayo 3B | BAL

    Orioles' Coby Mayo: Sitting out opener

    Mayo is not in Friday's lineup against the Rays.

    Since Ramon Urias sprained his ankle Aug. 31, Mayo has made two starts at third base, with Emmanuel Rivera also getting two starts at the hot corner. Nick Maton is picking up his first start at third base for the Orioles on Friday, so the position appears to be a full-on timeshare.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Knocks in two

    Caminero went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Thursday against the Twins.

    Caminero has started 20 of 21 games since being recalled Aug. 13. He's had a strong showing, maintaining a 10.1 percent walk rate and a 22.2 percent strikeout rate with a .263 batting average. Caminero has also shown some decent pop, collecting seven extra-base hits across 90 plate appearances.

  • Jace Jung 3B | DET

    Tigers' Jace Jung: On bench Thursday

    Jung is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres.

    Jung started in three consecutive games before Thursday's game. In that span, he collected one hit and a walk across 11 plate appearances. Andy Ibanez has the start at third base and is batting second Thursday.

  • Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA

    Angels' Anthony Rendon: Absent from lineup

    Rendon is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers.

    Rendon started the previous eight tilts but managed just a .598 OPS over that stretch. Charles Leblanc will draw a start at third base and bat seventh while Rendon gets some rest.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Still out Thursday

    Bohm (hand) isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Thursday's game against Miami.

    Bohm will be missing his sixth consecutive game as a result of inflammation in his left hand. The team still doesn't believe he'll need to spend time on the injured list, though that may change if the 28-year-old doesn't return before the end of the series. Kody Clemens will start at the hot corner Thursday and bat eighth.

  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Yet to resume baseball activities

    Candelario (toe) has yet to resume baseball activities, MLB.com reports.

    Candelario is almost three weeks removed from suffering a fractured left great toe and remains limited to rehabilitation work due to lingering discomfort. It shouldn't take long for him to become game-ready once the soreness subsides, but it's not clear when/if that might happen before the end of the season.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | HOU

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Doubles in return

    Bregman went 1-for-2 with a double and a run scored Wednesday against the Reds.

    Bregman returned from a four-game absence with a lingering elbow injury. He led off the second inning with a double and came around to score. Bregman was ultimately pulled in the fifth inning with the Astros down 10-1.

  • Brooks Lee SS | MIN

    Twins' Brooks Lee: Day off Thursday

    Lee is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Tampa Bay.

    Lee started the last four games after being activated from the injured list, but he'll get a day off for Thursday's series finale. Willi Castro is handling shortstop for the the Twins, while Austin Martin will be in center field.

  • Rafael Devers 3B | BOS

    Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Another hitless night

    Devers batted second and went 0-for-3 with an RBI in Wednesday's 8-3 loss to the Mets.

    Devers was moved up the batting order behind Jarren Duran with the hope he'd see more fastballs and emerge from a slump. The theory was sound, but it didn't work out. Devers drove in a run on a sacrifice fly -- his first RBI in seven games -- but went hitless for the fifth time in the last six contests (1-for-24, seven strikeouts).
