Lively (10-6) earned the win over Baltimore on Thursday, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out four batters over six innnings.

Lively gave up a run in the first frame, but Cleveland's offense put up five runs by the end of third to take a comfortable lead. The right-hander surrendered another run on a fourth-inning Anthony Santander homer, and that was all the Orioles offense managed against him. Lively notched his second straight quality start and has now given up two or fewer runs in four consecutive outings. He's in the midst of a breakout campaign with 10 victories along with a 3.42 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 90:30 K:BB over 105.2 innings.

Urena will start Friday against the Red Sox, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Urena has stretched out to complete three and 4.1 innings in his last two appearances, respectively. Both of those outings came in long relief, but he'll draw his seventh start of the season Friday. Urena has a 2.84 ERA with a 21:8 K:BB in 31.2 frames as a starter this season.

The Rays are expected to place Palacios on the injured list Friday with a hyperextended right knee, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Palacios was hurt while running the bases in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Marlins and felt his knee lock up. With Palacios bound for the injured list, Jonny DeLuca could end up taking over a full-time role in the outfield after previously being deployed as a short-side platoon player.

The Yankees transferred Poteet (triceps) to the 60-day injured list Thursday.

A right tricep strain has kept Poteet on the injured list since mid-June, and his move to the 60-day injured list will ensure he remains out until at least Aug. 17. The 30-year-old righty began throwing bullpen sessions last week, though it remains unclear how close he is to facing live hitters and eventually beginning a rehab assignment. His spot on the 40-man roster will be given to Nick Burdi, who was reinstated from the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

The Yankees reinstated Burdi (hip) from the 60-day injured list Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Hip inflammation has kept Burdi on the injured list since late May, and he has been on a rehab assignment with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre since last Thursday. He's allowed two earned runs in 2.2 innings during his time in Triple-A, and he will remain with the RailRiders now that he's fully recovered. Cody Poteet (triceps) was transferred from the 10-day IL to the 60-day IL in order to free up a spot on the 40-man roster.

Rengifo (wrist) isn't in the Angels' lineup Thursday against the Rockies, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rengifo made an early exit from Wednesday's game after injuring his wrist on a swing. He's reportedly feeling better ahead of Thursday's contest, but he will step out of the lineup for a day as a precaution. In his absence, Brandon Drury will shift to third base while Michael Stefanic starts at the keystone and bats second.

Trout will miss the rest of the 2024 season after he was diagnosed Thursday with a meniscus tear in his left knee, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Trout was pulled off his minor-league rehab assignment last week due to some knee discomfort, and he then suffered a setback in his recovery earlier this week. After being sent in for further testing, Trout was revealed to have suffered a meniscus tear in his left knee Monday for the second time this season. The 32-year-old will miss the rest of the season but is otherwise without an official timetable for his recovery, though he should have enough time to get healthy for Opening Day in 2025. Trout will close the campaign having played in a career-low 29 games, and over the past four seasons he's seen action in just 41 percent of the Angels' 648 contests.

The Blue Jays optioned Espino to Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday.

Espino gave up four runs in four innings and took the loss during his spot start in Baltimore on Wednesday, and he'll now head back to the minors following the poor outing. The 37-year-old veteran has given up eight runs in 8.2 innings with the Blue Jays this season, and he owns a 5.09 ERA through 53 frames at Triple-A.

Cantillo will start Saturday versus the Orioles in place of the injured Tanner Bibee (shoulder), Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Bibee is having his start pushed back a few days as he battles some shoulder tightness. Cantillo yielded three earned over 3.1 innings this past Sunday against the Phillies in his major-league debut. The Guardians have a doubleheader next Friday in Minnesota, and Cantillo will be a candidate to get another start that day.

Schneemann is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles.

The lefty-hitting Schneemann will head to the bench while southpaw Trevor Rogers takes the hill for Baltimore. Brayan Rocchio will rejoin the starting nine, covering shortstop in Schneemann's stead.
