Thomas (foot) is running and performing baseball activities, MLB.com reports.

Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said Tuesday that Thomas, whose injury the manager described as a "complicated case," is feeling a lot better and progressing well. The outfielder could potentially return early in September.

Anthony went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a stolen base and three additional runs scored during Tuesday's 14-1 win over the Astros.

Anthony walked four times Tuesday, setting a career high in the category and matching the most walks in a game by any hitter in MLB this season. He punished the Astros on one of the few pitches they threw him in the zone, lifting a solo homer in the eighth inning off Colton Gordon. Anthony has gone yard in back-to-back games and has a five-game hit streak. He's 7-for-19 (.368) during that five-game stretch.

Ward went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a second RBI and three total runs scored in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Dodgers.

Over his last 13 games, Ward has five multi-hit efforts and eight hitless performances. He's added three homers and 11 RBI in that span despite the inconsistency at the plate. The outfielder is up to a .234/.314/.489 slash line with 28 homers, 89 RBI, 66 runs scored and three stolen bases across 118 contests. Ward's been keeping his OPS around the .800 mark since the All-Star break, so he should remain a steady source of power in the heart of the Angels' lineup.

Thomas went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Tuesday's 6-0 win over the Rays.

Thomas remains in a part-time role, but he's supplied six RBI over his last four games. The outfielder plated the Athletics' first two runs Tuesday with an RBI double in the second inning and a sacrifice fly in the fourth. He's up to a .200/.261/.350 slash line with one home run, two steals, seven RBI, four runs scored and three doubles through 46 plate appearances. He continues to see most of his playing time versus southpaws, though he isn't being strictly platooned.

Varsho went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Cubs.

Varsho clubbed his 12th long ball through just 120 at-bats for the year, as he's been a force in the power department when healthy in 2025. While the outfielder is batting just .242 this season, he's slugging .608 and has driven in 31 runs over only 32 games.

The Rays recalled Peters from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday.

The 25-year-old was sent down to Triple-A on Monday, but he'll reverse course and rejoin the Rays with Taylor Walls (groin) moving to the injured list. Peters went hitless in nine tries during his first MLB stint over the weekend, and he'll presumably come off the bench most days going forward.

Baldwin is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

Baldwin started the past nine games but will hit the bench Tuesday with just three hits in his last 24 at-bats, though two of those knocks were homers. Curtis Mead will start at third base with Miguel Vargas (oblique) at first in his return from the injured list.

Roden (thumb) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

Roden will sit for a second consecutive game after exiting Sunday's contest due to a jammed thumb. Kody Clemens will receive a start in the outfield Tuesday while Edouard Julien mans first base.

The Angels placed Campero on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a sprained left ankle.

Campero had to be carted off the field Monday after injuring his ankle crashing into the outfield wall while chasing a ball that went over the fence. It remains unclear whether he'll be able to return from the IL when eligible Aug. 22. In the meantime, the Angels will add Niko Kavadas to their bench from Triple-A Salt Lake.

The Orioles optioned Adams to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.

The outfielder rejoined the Orioles last week with Colton Cowser (concussion) and Tyler O'Neill (wrist) landing on the injured list, and he'll be sent back down with Daniel Johnson joining the active roster. Across his three brief stints in the majors this season, Adams has gone 1-for-5 with two strikeouts in 10 games.
