Grisham (hamstring) participated in "light on-field agility exercises" Saturday and is expected to undergo imaging in New York on Monday, per MLB.com.

Grisham was placed on the 10-day IL on Saturday after straining his right hamstring while running the bases Friday. He felt better Saturday morning, but it's to be determined how much time he'll have to miss, per Greg Joyce of the New York Post. The results of Grisham's imaging Monday should provide a clearer picture of his return timeline.

The Rangers announced that Helman has multiple fractures in his right hand after leaving Saturday's game against the Red Sox, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Helman will miss some time for Texas after being hit by a pitch, which caused multiple fractures in his right hand. After being called up on May 18, the 30-year-old has only recorded 31 plate appearances, slashing .179/.233/.321, though he was likely ticketed for increased playing time after Evan Carter (oblique) landed on the IL earlier Saturday.

Soderstrom is not starting versus Colorado on Saturday.

The lefty-hitting Soderstrom is getting a breather with the Rockies sending southpaw Kyle Freeland to the mound. It's the fourth time in five games that the A's are going up against a lefty starter, but Soderstrom started each of those first three contests, so he's not in a platoon situation. However, Colby Thomas is spelling Soderstrom in left field Saturday.

Helman was removed from Saturday's game against the Red Sox after being hit on the hand by a pitch in the eighth inning, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Helman started the contest in center field after Evan Carter landed on the injured list due to an oblique injury. Helman went 0-for-2 with a sacrifice fly in his first three plate appearances before being struck by a pitch on the right hand in the top of the eighth inning. Brandon Nimmo, who served as a pinch hitter following Helman's HBP, then remained in the game to play defense in the bottom of the frame while Helman departed. It's unclear at this point if the 30-year-old is dealing with a serious issue or if his exit was precautionary, but more information on his status should be coming soon.

Martinez had X-rays come back negative and was diagnosed with a bruised left foot Saturday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Martinez was pulled from Saturday's matchup against Detroit due to the injury, which occurred when he fouled a ball off his foot in the first inning. The fact that he initially stayed in the game bodes well for his likelihood of avoiding of a long-term absence, as does the negative X-rays. Still, it's too early to tell whether Martinez will need to miss additional time.

DeLauter exited Saturday's game against Detroit due to a right rib cage contusion, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

DeLauter suffered the injury when he crashed into the outfield wall while pursuing a batted ball in the top of the first inning. He initially remained in the contest but was pulled after grabbing at his side while running to first base on a single in the bottom of the frame. At this point, it's unclear how much additional time (if any) DeLauter will need to miss, or if an IL stint is on the table.

Martinez was removed from Saturday's contest against the Tigers due to an apparent foot injury, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Martinez fouled a ball off his left foot during his at-bat in the first inning. He initially stayed in the game but was replaced in left field by Steven Kwan to begin the third frame. Martinez became the second Cleveland outfielder to be removed from Saturday's contest -- Chase DeLauter had to exit for a pinch runner due to an apparent side injury in the first inning. Updates on both players should come after they are evaluated by the Guardians' training staff.

DeLauter was pulled from Saturday's contest in the first inning against Detroit due to an apparent injury to his right side, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

DeLauter crashed into the outfield wall while trying to corral a ball hit by Gleyber Torres in the top of the first inning. It's not clear if that was related to what happened during DeLauter's at-bat in the bottom of the frame, when he hit a single off Tarik Skubal but appeared to be grabbing at his right side as he approached first base. DeLauter was subsequently replaced by pinch runner Daniel Schneemann. The Guardians could have an update on DeLauter's status during or shortly after Saturday's game.

Collins is out of the starting lineup Saturday versus Houston.

Collins will get his first day off since June 2 after batting .222 with only one extra-base hit and a 6:6 BB:K over his past nine contests. Lane Thomas is starting in left field in Collins' place Saturday.

Anthony continues to experience pain in his injured right hand when swinging, though he still believes he is progressing in his recovery, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Anthony has been out of action since early May due to a sprained ligament at the base of his right ring finger. He's resumed swinging a bat and then been shut down on multiple occasions, as he hasn't yet been able to shed the discomfort caused by the injury. Anthony explained Saturday, "[it's] progressing a lot slower than I had imagined in the beginning of this but definitely progressing, which is the biggest thing. It's just pain in my hand. That's what it was until it's not that, I'll be here. But as soon as it feels like it starts to get a whole lot better, I'm sure we'll have a better idea of where we're at and how it's going to go from there." The star slugger isn't expected to be ready to return to action until at least early July, and he'll likely need to be able to swing at full capacity without pain before the Red Sox feel comfortable activating him.
