Jovani Moran RP | BOS
Red Sox's Jovani Moran: Starting rehab assignment
Moran (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Moran has missed the past three weeks with left elbow inflammation, but he's improved enough to be cleared for a game setting. The southpaw should rejoin the Boston bullpen by late June or early July.

Seth Lugo SP | KC
Royals' Seth Lugo: Hit hard in loss
Lugo (3-5) took the loss Thursday against the Rays, allowing seven runs on seven hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out three.
Lugo fell victim to the long ball Thursday, with six of the seven runs charged to the right-hander coming on three homers (including two off the bat of Junior Caminero). Lugo's ERA is now up to 4.18 through 16 starts (90.1 innings) this season with a 1.37 WHIP and 69:30 K:BB. He'll look to rebound his next time out, currently scheduled to come next week at home in a rematch with the Rays.

Ian Seymour RP | TB
Rays' Ian Seymour: Dominant in bulk role
Seymour (4-1) earned the win Thursday over the Royals, allowing just one walk and no hits over 6.2 scoreless innings. He struck out seven.
Working as the Rays' bulk reliever, Seymour was nearly perfect Thursday, allowing just one baserunner while setting a season high with seven strikeouts. Since moving into a starting/bulk-relief role, Seymour's posted a 2.84 ERA with a 0.84 WHIP and 19 strikeouts across four outings (19 innings). Overall, his ERA sits at 4.32 with a 1.14 WHIP and 52:20 K:BB through 50 innings this season.

Junior Caminero 3B | TB
Rays' Junior Caminero: Launches three homers in win
Caminero went 3-for-5 with three home runs and six total RBI in Thursday's 13-2 victory over the Royals.
Caminero opened the scoring with a two-run blast off Seth Lugo in the first inning and extended Tampa Bays' lead to 6-0 with a solo shot in the fifth. Caminero would then cap his huge day with a three-run shot off infielder Tyler Tolbert in the eighth. It's the first career three-homer game for Caminero, who's gone 12-for-31 (.387) with a 1.203 OPS in his last eight contests. The 22-year-old third baseman is now slashing .285/.377/.519 with 19 homers, 43 RBI and 49 runs scored across 342 plate appearances this season.

Ricky Tiedemann SP | TOR
Blue Jays' Ricky Tiedemann: Scratched with neck issue
Tiedemann (elbow) did not make a scheduled rehab start with Single-A Dunedin on Tuesday due to neck soreness, Thomas Hall of MLB.com reports.
Tiedemann had been set for his first start with Dunedin after making a pair of one-inning starts in the rookie-level Florida Complex League. The Blue Jays have not yet decided when Tiedemann will next take the ball, but the neck issue shouldn't be too significant of a setback. Tiedemann missed all of 2025 after Tommy John surgery and was shut down this spring due to renewed elbow soreness. He will eventually be assigned to Triple-A Buffalo once he's done with his rehab assignment.

Jacob Wilson SS | ATH
Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Out of Athletics' lineup
Wilson (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in San Francisco.
Wilson was forced to exit Wednesday's contest when he injured his left shoulder on a play at home plate. It's the same shoulder he dislocated earlier this season, costing him a month of action at the time. It's not yet clear whether the apparent aggravation of that injury will lead to another extended absence for Wilson, but the fact he wasn't placed on the injured list prior to Thursday's contest is seemingly a good sign. Alika Williams is filling in at shortstop in the series finale.

Zack Gelof 3B | ATH
Athletics' Zack Gelof: Lands on 10-day injured list
The Athletics placed Gelof on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a right hand contusion.
Gelof suffered a laceration and contusion when he got his hand stepped on in Tuesday's contest in San Francisco. The injury had seemed relatively minor initially, but Gelof ultimately was unable to avoid the IL. Max Muncy has seen a dip in playing time lately, but he should be back in the lineup on a regular basis while Gelof is sidelined.

Alika Williams SS | ATH
Athletics' Alika Williams: Up from Triple-A
The Athletics recalled Williams from Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday.
The 27-year-old will return to the active roster as the replacement for Zack Gelof (hand), who landed on the injured list Thursday. Williams has been fairly productive during his time in the big leagues, slashing .289/.319/.467 with a homer, five RBI and six runs scored across 48 plate appearances with the A's. However, he'll likely be limited to a bench role while Max Muncy sees the largest increase in playing time with Gelof on the shelf.

Jasson Dominguez RF | NYY
Yankees' Jasson Dominguez: Homers off Skubal on Wednesday
Dominguez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 4-2 victory versus the Tigers.
With Tigers ace lefty Tarik Skubal on the mound, Yankees manager Aaron Boone slid Dominguez into the No. 3 slot in the batting order. That move paid off when Dominguez broke a 2-2 tie with a two-run blast in the sixth inning. Dominguez struck out in each of his other three plate appearances, but his homer was ultimately the difference, as neither team scored for the remainder of the game. Since returning from the minors June 13, Dominguez has slashed .250/.268/.500 with two long balls, four doubles, four runs, three RBI, four stolen bases and a 1:12 BB:K.

Cooper Ingle LF | CLE
Guardians' Cooper Ingle: Getting outfield reps
Ingle has recently begun playing left field for Triple-A Columbus to potentially carve out another path to the majors, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
The 24-year-old has been focusing on improving his defensive abilities behind the plate at Triple-A, but recent injuries to Jose Ramirez (hand), Chase DeLauter (ribs) and Angel Martinez (foot) have resulted in some major lineup holes for Cleveland. Ingle has now made seven starts in left field at Columbus and should continue to see time there as the Guardians weigh their options. Ingle has certainly been able to handle Triple-A pitching by posting a .284/.416/.551 slash line and 12 homers through 51 games this season, so a promotion could come soon if he proves to be a serviceable option in left field.
