  • J.T. Ginn SP | ATH

    Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Dealing with soreness

    Ginn (undisclosed) is dealing with some fatigue/soreness, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Ginn had his latest turn in the rotation skipped Tuesday against Texas, and he's dealing with some unspecified fatigue/soreness prior to Thursday's series opener with the Mariners. The right-hander won't pitch at all during the team's four-game series in Seattle, and the A's haven't made a decision on a potential stint on the injured list for Ginn.

  • Tommy White 1B | ATH

    Athletics' Tommy White: Yet to partake in any baseball activities

    White (back) hasn't resumed any baseball activities yet, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    White has been dealing with lower-back tightness since Tuesday, and the team is expected to give him at least one more day to make recovery before making a decision on a potential stint on the injured list. The 23-year-old posted a .247 average with two home runs, three doubles, eight RBI and 10 runs scored in 26 games during August.

  • Hunter Dobbins SP | STL

    Cardinals' Hunter Dobbins: Undergoes reconstructive elbow surgery

    Dobbins underwent reconstructive surgery on his right elbow Wednesday and is expected to require a 12-month recovery, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Dobbins was placed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 22 with right forearm discomfort, but after he received a second opinion on the arm Tuesday, he opted to undergo elbow surgery. The 27-year-old has now undergone two procedures on his right elbow in his young career, and he may be forced to miss the entirety of the 2027 campaign while recovering. Dobbins made 11 appearances, including eight starts, with St. Louis this season, posting a 3.67 ERA and 1.35 WHIP with 52 strikeouts over 54 innings.

  • Mariners' Brendan Donovan: Still experiencing concussion symptoms

    Donovan continues to experience concussion symptoms, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Donovan has still felt concussion symptoms like nausea, fatigue and dizziness while participating in pregame workouts, and he will not be cleared to play until he can make it through one of those workouts free of symptoms. The 29-year-old has been sidelined since he was hit in the head by a baseball prior to a game against the Cubs on Aug. 22.

  • Shohei Ohtani DH | LAD

    Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Day-to-day with injuries

    Ohtani (biceps/knee) is considered day-to-day as he battles a pair of injuries, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

    Ohtani is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale with the Cardinals as he continues to battle through lingering left knee discomfort and an additional right biceps issue. Manager Dave Roberts outlined that the 32-year-old's availability off the bench Thursday and his status for Friday's series opener with the Nationals will depend on further conversations with the team's training staff. Roberts views a stint on the injured list as unlikely but "not impossible." The injuries have also further delayed Ohtani's potential return to the mound, which is now without an official timeline.

  • Brennen Davis CF | SEA

    Mariners' Brennen Davis: Placed on MLB 60-day IL

    The Mariners recalled Davis (hamstring) from Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday and placed him on the 60-day injured list.

    Davis hasn't played in a game at Tacoma since late May while recovering from a strained left hamstring. His move to the 60-day IL won't affect his return timeline, but it will free up a roster spot for Stuart Fairchild, who was selected to the active roster in a corresponding move. It's unknown how far away Davis is from returning.

  • Victor Robles RF | SEA

    Mariners' Victor Robles: Away from team

    The Mariners placed Robles on the family medical emergency list Thursday.

    Robles will miss most, if not all, of the Mariners' four-game series against the A's while he tends to more important matters. Stuart Fairchild will come up from Triple-A Tacoma to fill the void in Seattle's outfield corps.

  • Mariners' Stuart Fairchild: Contract selected

    The Mariners selected Fairchild's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.

    Fairchild will return to the big leagues to replenish the Mariners' outfield depth as Victor Robles moves to the family medical emergency list. Fairchild has logged just three hits in 19 at-bats in the majors this season and isn't likely to make much of an impact with Seattle. Brennen Davis (hamstring) was placed on the 60-day IL to open up a 40-man roster spot.

  • Alec Burleson 1B | STL

    Cardinals' Alec Burleson: Sitting Thursday

    Burleson is not in the lineup Thursday against the Dodgers.

    Burleson went 0-for-9 with an RBI and two strikeouts in the first two games of the series against the Dodgers. He'll get a chance to reset on the bench Thursday while Leo Bernal starts at first base and Pedro Pages works behind the dish.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Idle Thursday against lefty

    Muncy is not in the lineup Thursday versus the Cardinals.

    The Cardinals have southpaw Quinn Mathews taking the mound to begin Thursday's game, so the left-handed bat of Muncy will take a seat. Enrique Hernandez has the start at the hot corner and is batting ninth.
