  • Padres' Rodolfo Duran: Joining big club

    The Padres selected Duran from Triple-A El Paso on Thursday.

    The Padres are bringing up Duran as Luis Campusano hits the 10-day injured list with a left toe fracture, while Joe Musgrove (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list. Duran has slashed .238/.356/.429 with Triple-A El Paso in 2026. The 28-year-old Duran is in the lineup versus the Cardinals on Thursday night, marking his MLB debut.

  • Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Absent from Thursday's lineup

    Rutschman isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Rutschman will get a breather after going 3-for-4 with a walk, three RBI and a run scored during the first two games of the series. Samuel Basallo will fill in behind the plate while Taylor Ward works as the DH and Tyler O'Neill starts in the outfield.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Sitting Thursday

    Realmuto isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

    Realmuto has gone 4-for-14 with three RBI and two runs scored in four games since returning from the injured list. He'll get a chance to rest Thursday while Rafael Marchan starts behind the dish and bats ninth.

  • Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Getting day off

    Narvaez is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Rays.

    It's a routine day of rest for Narvaez, who started three of the previous four tilts. Connor Wong will do the catching and bat eighth for the Red Sox in Thursday's series opener.

  • Austin Wynns C | ATH

    Athletics' Austin Wynns: Cleared from 40-man roster

    The Athletics designated Wynns for assignment Thursday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Shea Langeliers is back from paternity leave, and the A's have elected to keep new acquisition Jonah Heim around as his backup instead of Wynns. The 35-year-old Wynns is just 3-for-39 at the plate this season.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Returns from paternity leave

    The Athletics activated Langeliers from the paternity list Thursday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Langeliers was away from the club for a few days while welcoming a new addition to the family, but he's back in time for Thursday's series finale in Philadelphia. Austin Wynns has been designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Getting day off

    Moreno is out of the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Pirates.

    Moreno started at catcher in three of the first four games after coming off the injured list, so he'll get some rest for Thursday's matinee. James McCann is behind the dish and batting eighth for the Diamondbacks.

  • Royals' Salvador Perez: Limited to DH due to sore hip

    Perez remains limited to designated-hitter duty due to hip soreness, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

    The hip issue first popped up for Perez a few weeks ago. Just three of his last 15 starts have come at catcher, and he's making a sixth straight start at DH on Thursday. Royals manager Matt Quatraro indicated Thursday that Perez is unlikely to return to catching this weekend. Carter Jensen will continue to start behind the plate while Perez recuperates.

  • Marlins' Heriberto Hernandez: Back with big club

    The Marlins recalled Hernandez from Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday.

    Hernandez was just optioned a little over a week ago but is back with the big club after going 6-for-22 in a five-game layover in Jacksonville. The right-handed-hitting Hernandez should see some reps against left-handers.

  • Carson Kelly C | CHC

    Cubs' Carson Kelly: Grabbing seat Thursday

    Kelly is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Reds.

    Kelly had started three of the previous four tilts but will get a breather for the series finale. It will be Miguel Amaya doing the catching and batting ninth for the Cubs.
