The Rays will place Kim (back) on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Kim was scratched from Wednesday's lineup with back tightness and evidently the injury is bad enough to require another trip to the IL for the veteran infielder. The 29-year-old Kim has been limited to only 29 games this season due to myriad injuries, and he's slashed just .214/.290/.321 in those contests. It's not clear how long Kim will be sidelined this time around. Top prospect Carson Williams will take Kim's spot on the active roster.

The Rays will call up Williams from Triple-A Durham on Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Ha-Seong Kim (back) is headed to the 10-day injured list, and Williams should man shortstop for the Rays regularly while Kim is out. Williams has not had a great 2025 season with Durham, slashing just .213/.318/.447 with a 34.1 percent strikeout rate. He has, however, socked 23 home runs and stolen 22 bases, so there is a tempting combination of power and speed if Williams is able to make enough contact.

Houston was recently promoted to High-A Cedar Rapids. He's 1-for-10 with a stolen base in his first two games. He was promoted after hitting .370 with a .868 OPS for Single-A Fort Myers in 12 games.

Houston, the 16th overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft, was a bit old for Single-A at age 21 out of Wake Forest, so this isn't too surprising. Still, it shows the Twins are optimistic about his progress after an initial look at Fort Myers.

Angels interim manager Ray Montgomery said following Wednesday's win over the Reds that Neto is "fine" after X-rays came back negative on his left wrist, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Neto was hit by a pitch on his left wrist in the bottom of the third inning and was later removed from the game in the top of the sixth after he didn't look comfortable in his subsequent plate appearance. Oswald Peraza replaced Neto at shortstop, but it sounds like Neto is day-to-day with the Angels headed into an off day Thursday ahead of weekend set with the Cubs.

Neto was removed from Wednesday's game against the Reds in the top of the sixth inning after he was hit by a pitch on the left hand earlier in the contest, Andres Soto of MLB.com reports.

The Angels announced Neto is dealing with left wrist soreness. Neto was hit by a pitch in the third inning and didn't look comfortable in his following plate appearance in the bottom of the fifth. Oswald Peraza took over at shortstop in place of Neto in the top of the sixth. Prior to leaving, Neto went 0-for-2 at the dish. Consider him day-to-day for now, but Neto will presumably undergo further testing on his hand and wrist. The Angels have a day off Thursday ahead of a home weekend series against the Cubs.

Kim was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Yankees due to lower-back tightness, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Kim spent time on the injured list with a lower-back strain at the end of July before he was activated Aug. 1. It's been a season full of injuries for the 29-year-old shortstop, as he's also dealt with calf, shoulder and hamstring issues, limiting Kim to just 23 games to this point. It's unclear if Kim will need another IL stint this time around. Tristan Gray is at shortstop for Tampa Bay on Wednesday.

Kim was scratched from the Rays' lineup against the Yankees on Wednesday due to an undisclosed reason.

Expect the team to provide an explanation for Kim's late removal from the lineup following Wednesday's contest. As a result of Kim being scratched, Tristan Gray will start at shortstop and bat ninth. Kim has logged at least one hit in four of his last five games, going 6-for-20 with a double and two steals over that span.

Baez went 2-for-3 with two RBI in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Astros.

Baez snapped a three-game hitless streak with his fifth multi-hit performance of the month. He's been solid overall in August, posting a .291 batting average, a home run, a stolen base and 10 RBI across 17 games. An infielder by trade, Baez has been seeing most of his time in center field recently with Matt Vierling (oblique) and Parker Meadows (quad) both on the injured list, though the former did start Wednesday's contest at shortstop before later moving to center.

Meidroth is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Atlanta.

Meidroth will get a chance to catch his breath after he started in each of the White Sox's last five games. Curtis Mead will enter the lineup in Meidroth's stead, covering third base while Miguel Vargas shifts over to first base and Lenyn Sosa occupies second.

Montgomery (side) will start at shortstop and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Montgomery was held out of Tuesday's 11-10 loss after exiting in the series opener a night earlier due to a sore left side, but he appears to have made enough improvement following the day off to rejoin the lineup for the finale in Atlanta. After starting at shortstop in Montgomery's stead Tuesday, Chase Meidroth will retreat to the bench.
