Fluharty turned in a perfect ninth inning to earn the save in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Red Sox.

With Louis Varland, Jeff Hoffman and Tyler Rogers all having pitched in Toronto's previous two games, it was Fluharty who got the call with a one-run lead in the ninth inning Thursday. The southpaw made quick work of the heart of Boston's order, retiring the side on five pitches. Fluharty has been solid out of Toronto's pen this season -- he's allowed just three runs in his last 18.2 innings. Overall, he sports a 3.64 ERA with a 1.38 WHIP and 38:12 K:BB across 29.2 innings this season.

Duran went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 9-3 loss to the Twins.

Duran lifted a home run down the left field line that clanked off the foul pole in the sixth inning, his fifth of the season and first in 24 games, It also snapped a six-game run without an RBI. Duran, who is second on the Rangers with 37 RBI over 65 games, will continue as a lineup regular, either at shortstop while Corey Seager (concussion) is unavailable or second base when Seager's ready to return.

Gray didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Blue Jays, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk over seven innings. He struck out four.

It was a shaky start to the day for Gray, who allowed a run in each of the first two innings, but he'd settle in and blank Toronto until Nathan Lukes added a solo homer in the seventh. Gray's now turned in quality starts in six of his last seven outings, posting a 3.06 ERA in that span (35.1 innings). Overall, his ERA sits at 3.12 through 13 starts (69.1 innings) this season with a 1.18 WHIP and 55:17 K:BB. Gray is currently lined up to face the Rockies on the road his next time out.

Rutschman was removed from Thursday's game against Seattle after getting hit in the head by a throw, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

An errant throw to first base connected with Rutschman's helmet while he was attempting to leg out an infield hit in the ninth inning. He was taken out of the game immediately after the incident and will presumably enter concussion protocol. An update on his status may come after the game.

Yesavage didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Red Sox, allowing three runs on four hits and no walks over 7.1 innings. He struck out six.

Yesavage was stellar earlier, as he held Boston to just one hit through his first six scoreless innings. However, Yesavage allowed a run in the seventh before the Red Sox tied the game with back-to-back home runs to open the eighth. Despite the tough finish, it was a positive outing overall for the 22-year-old Yesavage, who had given up 11 runs in 10.2 innings while issuing eight walks in his previous two starts. Overall, he's 3-3 with a 3.76 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 53:25 K:BB across 10 starts (55 innings) this season. Yesavage is currently slated to face the Astros at home his next time out.

The Angels recalled Moore from Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Moore will return to the majors as the roster replacement for Mike Trout, who landed on the injured list Thursday due to a hamstring injury. Moore has worked exclusively as a second baseman in the majors but has been getting reps in left field at Triple-A recently, so the Halos may look to capitalize on the 23-year-old's newfound versatility and use him in the outfield until Trout returns.

Durbin started at third base and went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-3 loss to Toronto.

Durbin snapped an 0-for-16 stretch with an eighth-inning home run that tied the game at 3-3. Other than a recent surge of offense -- he went 15-for-44 (.341) with eight extra-base hits and nine RBI over 12 games from May 28 to June 10 -- Durbin has been a non-factor at the dish. He's slashing .190/.250/.307 over 64 contests.

Kiner-Falefa started at shortstop and went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Blue Jays.

Kiner-Falefa opened the bottom of the eighth inning with his second home run of the season. He got the start at shortstop against a right-hander, which has been a spot for Marcelo Mayer, who was given a breather after five consecutive starts. Kiner-Falefa has been an infield regular since Trevor Story (abdomen) hit the injured list, serving at second base, shortstop and third base. He's been the most productive of a lot that includes Mayer and Caleb Durbin. Kiner-Falefa is slashing .304/.368/.435 with two home runs and eight RBI over the last 21 games.

The Angels placed Trout on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a hamstring injury, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Trout has tallied three homers, five RBI, seven runs and two steals during his eight-game hitting streak, but he'll now have to sit out until at least June 28 while he nurses his injured hamstring. The details of his injury remain unknown, so it's unclear whether he'll be ready to return by then. Jose Siri is likely to take over as the Angels' primary center fielder until Trout returns, and Christian Moore will come up from Triple-A Salt Lake to replenish the team's bench depth.

Double-A Northwest Arkansas transferred Lamkin from the 7-day injured list to the 60-day IL on June 10 while he recovers from an unspecified injury.

As a result of the transaction, Lamkin will remain out through at least the All-Star break. The 22-year-old lefty had been climbing up prospect lists after a hot start to the season, compiling a 2.04 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 53:14 K:BB in 39.2 innings over eight starts between Northwest Arkansas and High-A Quad Cities before being deactivated in late May.
