Lowe went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Cardinals.

Lowe has gone 1-for-8 with a walk and five strikeouts over two games since returning from right oblique tightness. He wasn't hitting all that well prior to the injury, batting just .154 (6-for-39) over the 11 games before he stepped out of the lineup for a few days. The outfielder has offered mediocre category coverage this year, posting 13 steals, seven home runs, 29 RBI, 40 runs scored and a .226/.293/.362 slash line over 78 contests.

Anthony went 2-for-5 with a home run, a walk, three RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Yankees.

Anthony supplied a game-tying RBI single in the sixth inning and then added a two-run homer for insurance in the ninth. This was his fourth multi-hit effort in the last five games, though he has just two extra-base hits in that span. The rookie outfielder is up to five homers, 26 RBI, 40 runs scored, four stolen bases, 17 doubles and one triple while slashing .286/.405/.448 through 59 contests.

Beavers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two total RBI in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Astros.

Beavers took Jason Alexander deep in the second inning and added a second RBI with a fielder's choice in the sixth. The homer was the first of Beavers' big-league career. He's off to a great start in the majors, batting .294 (5-for-17) with a 5:5 BB:K over his first five games. He'll likely continue to hold down a starting role in the corner outfield for the remainder of the campaign as long as his hitting stays strong.

Sanchez went 5-for-5 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Orioles.

Sanchez had gone 0-for-27 with nine strikeouts over his previous 10 games. He broke out of the slump in a big way Thursday, though four of his hits were singles. Sanchez is still batting just .215 over 19 games with the Astros, though he has settled into a near-everyday role in the corner outfield, in turn keeping Jose Altuve at second base or designated hitter. Overall, Sanchez is slashing .249/.310/.400 with 10 home runs, 38 RBI, 47 runs scored and nine stolen bases across 105 games between Houston and Miami this season.

The Rays transferred Fairchild (oblique) to the 60-day injured list Thursday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Fairchild has not resumed baseball activities since landing on the injured list July 23. Now on the 60-day injured list, he won't be able to return until the last week of the regular season. The 29-year-old's season is likely over, especially if Tampa Bay is out of the playoff race. The transaction created roster space for the promotion of Carson Williams.

Manager Joe Espada said Thursday that Trammell (neck) remains in the concussion protocol, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Trammell was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to a cervical muscle strain that he suffered Wednesday, but he also suffered a concussion. The 27-year-old will be eligible to be reinstated Aug. 31, but a longer absence wouldn't be surprising given the nature of his injuries.

Carter was removed from Thursday's game versus the Royals in the eighth inning after being hit in the right wrist by a pitch, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

He was struck by a Daniel Lynch offering in the seventh inning. Carter remained in the game initially before eventually being lifted an inning later. The 22-year-old is likely to undergo X-rays, and an update on his condition should be forthcoming. He went 1-for-2 with a run scored and a stolen base before exiting.

The Orioles recalled Johnson from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

He's absorbing the roster spot vacated by the injured Adley Rutschman (oblique). Johnson went 2-for-14 during an earlier stint in Baltimore and will operate in a reserve role.

The Astros placed Trammell on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a cervical muscle strain, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Trammell suffered the injury in Wednesday's game versus the Tigers when he collided with the outfield wall. He will be eligible for activation Aug. 31, but it's unclear whether he will be ready to go on that date or need more time to recover.

Smith is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Baltimore.

Smith is hitless over his last four contests, and he'll get a day off to regroup. Jesus Sanchez will shift over to right field and Mauricio Dubon will play left field for the Astros.
