Noel went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 3-1 win over Detroit.

Noel turned on a Tarik Skubal changeup in the fourth inning, sending the ball 411 feet into the seats in left field. It was the second homer this week for Big Christmas and third in 12 appearances since being recalled from the minors as part of September roster expansion. Noel is part of a rotation in right field along with C.J. Kayfus and Nolan Jones.

Teodosio isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against Milwaukee, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Teodosio will get a chance to regroup Thursday after going 0-for-8 with four strikeouts over his last three games. While he sits, Chris Taylor will start in center field and bat leadoff.

Foster is in critical but stable condition after suffering skull and facial fractures following a car crash earlier this month in Richland, Wash., Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Foster underwent brain surgery and will require several more procedures in the coming months, according to his mother, Iris Cleveland. He slashed .267/.407/.439 with 10 home runs, eight steals and a 25.4 percent strikeout rate in 93 games this year at High-A Tri-City.

Abreu (calf) will not fly with the Red Sox to Tampa Bay after Thursday's game and instead will remain in Boston to get in another workout at Fenway Park on Friday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

If Abreu's workout goes well, he could fly out on his own to rejoin the team Saturday or Sunday. Abreu's recovery from a right calf strain has not come along as quickly as hoped, as he's already missed a month of action and there still isn't a clear target date for his return to the active roster.

The Royals recalled Rave from Triple-A Omaha on Thursday.

Rave is absorbed the roster spot vacated by the injured Kyle Isbel (hamstring). He will mostly likely operate in a reserve-outfielder role down the stretch for the Royals.

The Royals placed Isbel on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left hamstring strain.

Isbel suffered the injury during Wednesday's game against the Mariners. He will be eligible for activation the final day of the regular season, but there's a good chance the injury will end the outfielder's season. Mike Yastrzemski is starting in center field for the Royals on Thursday and could settle in there down the stretch, which could open up more playing time in left field for Adam Frazier.

Isbel (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Mariners.

Isbel had to exit Wednesday's contest with left hamstring soreness, so it's no surprise he's sitting out Thursday's matinee. Whether Isbel will require a stint on the 10-day injured list is unclear. Mike Yastrzemski will shift over to center field for the Royals and will be flanked by Adam Frazier in left field and Jac Caglianone in right field in the series finale.

Robles is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Kansas City.

Four of Robles' last five starts have come against left-handed pitching, as Dominic Canzone appears to have leapfrogged past Robles in right field versus right-handers. It will be Canzone in right field and batting seventh Thursday against righty Stephen Kolek.

Dominguez went 1-for-3 with a double, two runs, an RBI and two stolen bases in a 10-5 victory versus Minnesota on Wednesday.

Dominguez hasn't had many opportunities of late -- Wednesday marked just his second start over New York's past 10 games. He made the most of the opportunity, stroking an RBI double in the fourth inning, then stealing third base before coming around to score. Dominguez reached again on a hit-by-pitch in the eighth, swiped second and scored on a Ryan McMahon single. Dominguez has a solid 23 steals on 27 attempts this season, but his .724 OPS has been mildly disappointing.

Kwan went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Tigers.

The Guardians' leadoff hitter extended his on-base streak to 12 games while stealing his 20th base of the season, leaving him one shy of the career high he set in 2023. Over those 12 contests, Kwan is slashing .304/.407/.348 with six steals, five RBI, seven runs and an 8:3 BB:K.
