  • Padres' Luis Campusano: Light playing time since return

    Campusano is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

    Since being activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Campusano has started in just one of the Friars' ensuing five games. He appears to have slid behind Kyle Higashioka on the depth chart at catcher, though both backstops will be out of the lineup Wednesday while No. 3 option Brett Sullivan gets the nod behind the dish.

  • Cardinals' Gordon Graceffo: Promoted for Game 2 start

    The Cardinals recalled Graceffo from Triple-A Memphis to start Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Royals.

    The 24-year-old will make the first start of his MLB career in Wednesday's nightcap while serving as the 27th man for the twin bill, and he should be sent back to Memphis after the contest. Graceffo has pitched to a 3.86 ERA and 71:31 K:BB over 77 innings at Triple-A this season and fared well during his MLB debut in late June, when he allowed one run across 4.1 innings of long relief versus the Reds.

    Brewers' DL Hall: Rehab extended

    Hall (knee) didn't suffer a fracture after getting hit in the forearm by a comebacker Tuesday during his rehab outing with Triple-A Nashville, but he'll be shut down from throwing for 3-to-10 days, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Tuesday was originally expected to be Hall's final rehab outing, but his stay in Nashville will once again be extended while he recovers from the forearm injury. The Brewers haven't yet specified a new target date for Hall's return to Milwaukee, though a timeline may emerge once he's cleared to resume throwing.

  • Caleb Kilian RP | PHI

    Cubs' Caleb Kilian: Hits two innings in third rehab start

    Kilian (shoulder) struck out two over two perfect innings in his rehab start Tuesday with High-A South Bend.

    Kilian tossed 21 pitches in the outing while the Cubs continue to ease the right-hander along slowly as he makes his way back from a teres major strain in his right shoulder, an injury that has sidelined him since early March. The 27-year-old will likely require at least three more rehab starts to get fully stretched out for a traditional starter's workload, so he may not be activated until late July or early August. Once Kilian is reinstated, the Cubs could elect to option him to Triple-A Iowa, if the big club doesn't have an opening in its rotation.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: On bench for second game of day

    Winn is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Royals.

    After going 0-for-4 in the Cardinals' 6-4 loss in the first game of the day, Winn will get a breather for the nightcap. Brandon Crawford will fill in at shortstop in place of Winn, who had started in each of St. Louis' last 10 games.

  • Padres' Logan Gillaspie: Back in majors

    The Padres recalled Gillaspie from Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday.

    Since making his last appearance in the majors May 20, Gillaspie has logged a 2.76 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in 16.1 innings in Triple-A. He'll now rejoin the big-league club to give the Padres some additional bullpen depth heading into the All-Star break. Adam Mazur was optioned to El Paso in a corresponding move.

  • Adam Mazur P | MIA

    Padres' Adam Mazur: Sent to Triple-A

    The Padres optioned Mazur to Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday.

    Mazur had a solid MLB debut against the Angels on June 4, allowing one run in six innings. Things quickly went downhill for him, however, as he posted a 9.36 ERA and 2.04 WHIP across 25 innings over his next six starts. He'll now return to the minors in order to right the ship, though he hasn't found much success at the Triple-A level either (7.11 ERA in 19 innings). Logan Gillaspie was recalled from El Paso in a corresponding move.

  • Johan Rojas CF | PHI

    Phillies' Johan Rojas: Nursing forearm injury

    Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers after he was removed in the seventh inning of Tuesday's 10-1 win due to an apparent forearm injury, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    According to Zolecki, Rojas said after Tuesday's game that he's OK, but the Phillies will give the outfielder at least one day off while he may still be dealing with some residual soreness or bruising to the forearm, which was hit by 97 mile-per-hour Michael Petersen fastball. Brandon Marsh will cover center field in place of Rojas, who had started in each of the last seven games.

  • Bryce Harper 1B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryce Harper: Won't start Wednesday

    Harper (hand) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

    In his return from the 10-day injured list for Tuesday's 10-1 win over the Dodgers, Harper experienced no renewed complications with the hamstring injury that had previously sidelined him, but he suffered a bruise to his glove hand when it was struck by a Freddie Freeman line drive. Harper was still able to take part in pregame activities Wednesday, so the Phillies could just be holding him out of the lineup as a matter of precaution. Alec Bohm will cover first base in Harper's stead.

  • Bryce Harper 1B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryce Harper: Nursing bruised hand

    Harper is questionable to play Wednesday versus the Dodgers after bruising his left hand during Tuesday's 10-1 win, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    A line drive hit by Freddie Freeman caught Harper in a bad spot on his glove hand, and Harper is apparently still dealing with some soreness Wednesday. He will test the hand out in the batting cage before the Phillies determine if he can start. Even if Harper is withheld from the lineup Wednesday, the injury wouldn't appear to be a long-term concern.
