Phillies' Felix Reyes: Recalled, placed on 60-day IL
The Phillies recalled Reyes from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday and placed him on the 60-day injured list with a right wrist fracture.
Reyes suffered the injury last week at Lehigh Valley when he was hit by a pitch, and he will be sidelined for the remainder of the season. Putting Reyes on the 60-day IL frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Andrew Hoffmann, who was claimed off waivers.

Brewers' Garrett Mitchell: Returning to lineup Thursday
Mitchell (foot) will start in center field and bat seventh in Thursday's game against the Mariners.
Mitchell was held out of action Wednesday due to a sore foot, but he is feeling well enough to return to action for Thursday's series finale. The outfielder has been scuffling so far in August with a .173/.307/.192 batting line.

Jac Caglianone RF | KC
Royals' Jac Caglianone: Held out of Kansas City lineup
Caglianone (ankle) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.
Caglianone had to be pulled from Wednesday's contest due to right ankle soreness. Per Anne Rogers of MLB.com, Caglianone said after that game that the ankle issue had "been nagging for a little bit," but he's confident he "should be back in here pretty soon." Nick Loftin is playing right field Thursday in Caglianone's stead.

Brett Bateman CF | TOR
Blue Jays' Brett Bateman: Not in lineup Thursday
Bateman (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Rays.
Bateman had to be removed from Wednesday's game because of right hamstring tightness, so it's not a surprise he's not ready to play in Thursday's afternoon contest. Per Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca, an MRI on Bateman's hamstring came back negative, and he could be available off the bench. Myles Straw will handle center field for Toronto.

Chase DeLauter RF | CLE
Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Held out again Thursday
DeLauter (hamstring) is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants.
DeLauter tweaked his left hamstring during Sunday's game versus the Padres, and he will now miss a fourth consecutive start. To this point, the Guardians have considered DeLauter day-to-day, but he'll need to improve in a hurry to avoid the injured list.

Jo Adell RF | CLE
Guardians' Jo Adell: Out again Thursday
Adell (knee) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants.
Adell will miss a second straight start after departing Tuesday's game with left knee soreness. He is considered day-to-day. The Guardians will roll out Steven Kwan, Petey Halpin and Angel Martinez in the outfield for Thursday's series finale.

Angel Martinez LF | CLE
Guardians' Angel Martinez: Logs two hits, steal in loss
Martinez started in right field and went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to San Francisco.
Martinez made a second consecutive start, as the Guardians deal with injuries to Jo Adell (knee) and Chase DeLauter (hamstring). The injuries are considered minor and both outfielders are day-to-day, which means Martinez could get another start or two going forward. Following a July swoon, Martinez has picked it up in August, going 17-for-50 (.340) with one home run, six doubles, 11 RBI and six runs scored over 15 games.

J.J. Bleday LF | CIN
Reds' JJ Bleday: Dropping off in second half
Bleday went 0-for-3 in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Cardinals.
Bleday was dropped to seventh in the order, the lowest spot he's hit out of as a starter since May 26. That the Reds were facing a left-hander may have played a role in manager Terry Francona's decision to slot the lefty-swining Bleday down in the order, but it may also have something to do with the outfielder's struggles in the second half. After posting an .842 OPS with 43 RBI over 67 games prior to the All-Star break, Bleday has slumped to a .167/.286/.296 slash line with four RBI over 32 contests since.

Mickey Moniak LF | COL
Rockies' Mickey Moniak: Reaches 20-homer mark
Moniak went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and a double in Wednesday's 6-4 extra-inning loss to the Dodgers.
Moniak has maintained steady playing time in August, but his bat was fading prior to this performance. For the month, he's gone 12-for-56 (.214) with three homers and 13 RBI. The outfielder reached the 20-homer mark with his blast Wednesday, a threshold he's now hit in both of his years with the Rockies. He's batting .266 with an .846 OPS, 59 RBI, 42 runs scored, 15 doubles, four triples and a stolen base over 88 contests this season.
