  • Darell Hernaiz SS | ATH

    Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Logs two hits Wednesday

    Hernaiz went 2-for-4 in Wednesday's loss against Seattle.

    Hernaiz collected a pair of singles, one in the third inning and another in the seventh frame, marking his sixth multi-hit effort of the campaign. The infielder entered the 2026 season in a reserve role but has operated as the Athletics' primary shortstop since Jacob Wilson (shoulder) landed on the injured list May 12. Across his past 15 contests, Hernaiz is slashing .348/.400/.391 with two doubles, two RBI, six runs and a stolen base.

  • Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Out of lineup Thursday

    Yoshida is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta, reports Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com

    Yoshida will sit out of Thursday's lineup since left-hander Chris Sale is taking the mound for Atlanta. Boston will opt to go with Andruw Monasterio as the DH, batting fifth. Yoshida has only recorded 16 plate appearances against left-handed pitchers this season and has a .200/.250/.333 slash line in that split.

  • Tarik Skubal SP | LAD

    Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Next simulated game Monday

    Skubal (elbow) will throw another simulated game Monday at Tropicana Field, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Skubal tossed 39 pitches over 2.2 innings in a simulated game Tuesday and will build up further Monday. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Thursday that Skubal's next throwing session after Monday's will occur June 7. Woodbery speculates that it could line Skubal up to make a rehab start June 12 before rejoining the Tigers' rotation June 17 in Houston, though nothing is official on that front at this point.

  • Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN

    Twins' Luke Keaschall: Taking seat

    Keaschall is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox.

    Keaschall has slashed a healthy .269/.395/.373 in May following a rough April, though with zero home runs and three steals, the counting stats haven't been really been there. Orlando Arcia will play second base Thursday while Keaschall rests.

  • Austin Martin RF | MIN

    Twins' Austin Martin: Not in Thursday's lineup

    Martin is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the White Sox.

    After starting each of the previous six contests, Martin will grab a seat in Thursday's matinee. Kody Clemens will patrol right field for the Twins.

  • Kenley Jansen RP | DET

    Tigers' Kenley Jansen: Undergoes MRI on injured groin

    Jansen is awaiting results of an MRI on his right groin, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Jansen had to exit an appearance Wednesday against the Angels after his groin tightened up on him. Any sort of strain will likely lead to a stint on the injured list, but more on Jansen's status will be available soon. If Jansen is forced to miss time, the Tigers could turn to Will Vest and/or Kyle Finnegan to fill their closer role.

  • Casey Mize SP | SD

    Tigers' Casey Mize: Awaiting MRI results

    Mize (groin) played catch Thursday and is still waiting on the results of his MRI, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Mize was forced to depart Wednesday's outing against the Angels after four innings due to right groin tightness. It's a good sign that he was feeling well enough to play catch a day after the injury, but a determination on a possible injured-list stint for Mize won't be made until his MRI results are in.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Sent out on rehab assignment

    Torres (oblique) will travel to Triple-A Toledo on Friday to begin a rehab assignment, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Torres is expected to work out with Toledo for a day or two before getting into game action. He's been sidelined for nearly four weeks with a left oblique strain and is poised to return to the Tigers' active roster in early June, assuming all goes well on his rehab assignment.

  • Tigers' Kerry Carpenter: Set to begin rehab assignment

    Carpenter (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Friday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Working his way back from an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder, Carpenter faced Justin Verlander (hip) in a simulated game Wednesday and is now ready to test things out in an official game setting. He's been sidelined for less than three weeks, so Carpenter shouldn't require too many rehab at-bats before being reinstated to the Tigers' active roster.

  • Taj Bradley SP | MIN

    Twins' Taj Bradley: Pushed to Friday for next start

    Bradley is slated to make his next start Friday against the Pirates at PNC Park, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

    Minnesota had initially been listing Bradley as its starter for Thursday's series finale versus the White Sox in Chicago, but he'll end up getting pushed back a day while the Twins temporarily insert Kendry Rojas as a sixth member of the rotation. The late change likely doesn't amount to a meaningful downgrade or upgrade for Bradley's fantasy outlook in weekly formats, as the right-hander has likely gained the trust of his managers regardless of matchup after rolling to a 5-1 record, 2.77 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 59:19 K:BB over 52 innings through his first nine starts.
