Misiorowski exited with training staff after appearing to turn his ankle in the sixth inning of Thursday's game against the Cardinals, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Misiorowski went five scoreless innings in his major-league debut and didn't allow a hit while striking out five and walking three. He came back out for the sixth frame but suffered the injury during the first at-bat. The nature of the issue is unclear, but more details should emerge following the game.

Devers (undisclosed) did not retire as previously reported and plans to continue his playing career, Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com reports.

A previous report suggested that Devers had retired, but that report apparently came about due to an error in translation. He will continue to rehab an undisclosed injury that has kept him from playing for Triple-A Gwinnett since June 1. The 25-year-old infielder has maintained a .276/.279/.431 slash line across 61 plate appearances with Gwinnett this season.

Rodriguez (3-1) took a blown save and a loss Thursday against the Rockies, allowing three runs (one earned) on two hits and two walks over two-thirds of an inning. He struck out one.

With Camilo Doval having pitched back-to-back days and Ryan Walker working the eighth inning Thursday, it was Rodriguez who was tasked with protecting a two-run lead in the ninth. It did not go well for the 25-year-old right-hander -- after Rodriguez recorded the first out, the next four Rockies all reached safely before Orlando Arcia knocked in the winning run with a two-out hit. Prior to Thursday, Rodriguez hadn't allowed a run in his last 16.2 innings, giving up just six hits while striking out 27 in that span. He still sports a pristine 0.90 ERA with a 0.73 WHIP and 44:5 K:BB across 30 innings while holding down a high-leverage role in San Francisco.

Moniak went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Thursday's 8-7 win over the Giants.

Moniak cut San Francisco's lead to 7-3 in the sixth inning with an opposite-field shot off Hayden Birdsong for his seventh homer this season. The 27-year-old Moniak has gone 4-for-7 with a pair of homers in his last three contests, boosting his slash line to .227/.278/.429 with 18 RBI, 21 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases across 176 plate appearances this year.

Smith went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer and a second run scored in Thursday's 8-7 loss to Colorado.

After logging base hits in his first two at-bats, Smith launched a 433-foot shot off Antonio Senzatela in the fifth inning, his first major-league homer since July 29 of last year. The 29-year-old Smith has been productive in his first eight games with San Francisco, going 8-for-25 (.320) with seven RBI. Smith should continue to serve as the Giants' primary first baseman going forward.

The Mets plan to recall Max Kranick on Friday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

The Mets are shuffling their pitching staff due to the injury to Kodai Senga (hamstring). Paul Blackburn is the likeliest candidate to take over in the rotation, while Kranick should be used out of the bullpen. He has had success in the majors this season, maintaining a 3.51 ERA and 0.96 WHIP to go along with a 23:3 K:BB across 33.1 frames.

Senzatela didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Giants, allowing seven runs on nine hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out two.

After delivering a clean opening inning, Senzatela was tagged for four runs in the second before surrendering a three-run homer to Dominic Smith in the fifth. While the Rockies would ultimately stage a late comeback that got Senzatela off the hook for the loss, it was another rough showing from the right-hander, who's given up seven runs in two of his last three starts. Senzatela's ERA is up to 7.23 through 66 innings this season with a 2.03 WHIP and 35:24 K:BB. He's currently scheduled to face the Nationals on the road in his next outing.

Birdsong allowed three runs on six hits and two walks over six innings in a no-decision Thursday against the Rockies. He struck out six.

It was a solid bounce-back effort from Birdsong, who issued five walks in just 4.1 innings during his last outing versus Atlanta. The 23-year-old right-hander held the Rockies to just a pair of fourth-inning runs while posting his first quality start this season. Overall, Birdsong is 3-1 with a 2.79 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 51:19 K:BB across 48.1 innings this year. He's currently lined up to face the Guardians at home in his next outing.

Manager Pat Murphy said Thursday that the team hopes for Perkins (shin) to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville on June 25, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

A fractured right shin has kept Perkins on the injured list since the start of the regular season. He initially struggled to make progress after starting up his running program in May but has since turned a corner and now seems to be only a couple of weeks away from returning to a competitive setting. Assuming he doesn't run into any setbacks in his recovery, the 28-year-old outfielder should have a good chance to make his season debut before the All-Star break.

Manager Pat Murphy said Thursday that Mitchell (oblique) will likely begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville on June 20, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

Mitchell has been on the shelf since late April due to a left oblique strain, though he recently resumed baseball activities at the Brewers' complex in Arizona. It's unclear how many minor-league reps the team will try to get Mitchell before activating him from the injured list, though he may still have a shot at returning to Milwaukee before the end of the month.
