Caissie was removed from Wednesday's game against Seattle due to right calf tightness, Craig Mish of FanDuel Sports Network Florida reports.

Caissie was taken out of the game in the second inning before recording an at-bat. The severity of his injury remains unknown, though the team could provide some clarity in the near future. In the meantime, Griffin Conine will take over as Miami's right fielder.

Dingler was removed from Wednesday's game against the Athletics due to an apparent right thumb injury, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Dingler took a foul tip off his right thumb in the first inning. He's gone back to the clubhouse to undergo more tests on his injury, and the Tigers should have an update on Dingler during or shortly after Wednesday's game. Jake Rogers will take over at catcher for the rest of the contest in Dingler's absence.

The Padres selected Rengifo's contract from Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday.

With Samad Taylor (oblique) moving to the injured list Wednesday, the Padres will turn to Rengifo to bolster the club's infield depth. The 29-year-old was released by Milwaukee in June after slashing just .205/.280/.254 across 209 plate appearances, but he's gone 8-for-25 with two home runs, seven RBI and five runs scored in six games with El Paso since signing a minor-league deal with San Diego.

Kurtz was removed in the second inning of Wednesday's game against the Tigers due to illness, per Martin Gallegos of MLB.com.

Per Gallegos, Kurtz appeared to jam his hand while attempting to field a throw in the first inning. However, the Athletics have announced that the first baseman's removal was due to an illness, which is an ongoing issue in the team's clubhouse, per Jason Burke of Roundtable.io. Jeff McNeil took over for Kurtz at first base.

The Padres placed Taylor on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right oblique strain.

Taylor was taken out of Tuesday's game early after tweaking his oblique, and although he said before Wednesday's contest that he was day-to-day, per Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune, the Padres will ultimately place him on the IL and keep him out through the All-Star break. Luis Rengifo was selected from Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move to replenish the Padres' bench depth.

Machado (foot) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Arizona.

Machado was in a considerable amount of pain after fouling a ball off his foot Tuesday, so he'll get a rare day off Wednesday to recover. Sung-Mun Song will start at the hot corner with Machado on the bench, and Miguel Andujar will work as San Diego's designated hitter.

France isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

France will miss a second consecutive start Wednesday after going just 1-for-16 with five strikeouts across his last four games. Gavin Sheets will start at first base while France sits, opening up left field for Jase Bowen.

Webb (5-7) took the loss Wednesday, giving up five runs on five hits and two walks over seven innings as the Giants got routed 10-0 by the Blue Jays. He struck out two.

All five runs crossed the plate in the first inning, most of them on a Kazuma Okamoto grand slam, but Webb shook it off and gave his team six scoreless frames after that. The veteran right-hander exited after 106 pitches (72 strikes) and has now given up 12 runs across his last two starts after posting a 0.85 ERA over his six prior outings. Webb will head into the All-Star break with a 3.86 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 80:26 K:BB through 100.1 innings.

Springer went 1-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 10-0 rout of the Giants.

Back in the lineup for the first time since June 30, Springer went back-to-back with Vladimir Guerrero in the ninth inning off Ryan Walker to put an exclamation point on the Blue Jays' offensive outburst. Springer picked up right where he left off prior to being away from the team due to the birth of his child -- over his last 14 games in June, he slashed .281/.333/.439 with two homers, three steals, five RBI and eight runs.

Guerrero went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 10-0 win over the Giants.

The first baseman snapped a 17-game homer drought, launching just his fifth long ball of the season in the ninth inning off Ryan Walker. Guerrero's had a rough first half -- during that 17-game drought, he managed a weak .194/.250/.226 slash line with only two doubles and five RBI -- but Wednesday's blast could help take some of the pressure off just ahead of the All-Star break.
