The Angels placed Trout on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to a hamstring injury, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Trout has tallied three homers, five RBI, seven runs and two steals during his eight-game hitting streak, but he'll now have to sit out until at least June 28 while he nurses his injured hamstring. The details of his injury remain unknown, so it's unclear whether he'll be ready to return after the 10-day minimum. Jose Siri is likely to take over as the Angels' primary center fielder until Trout returns, and Christian Moore will come up from Triple-A Salt Lake to replenish the team's bench depth.

Taylor (hip) will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Binghamton on Friday, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

Taylor landed on the injured list May 25 with a hip flexor strain but is now set to begin ramping up toward his return to the active roster. However, Carson Benge and A.J. Ewing have both cemented themselves as regular starters in New York's outfield, so Taylor will almost certainly be limited to a bench role once he comes off the IL.

Nootbaar is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Kansas City.

Since he returned from the injured list earlier this month, the left-handed-hitting Nootbaar has been out of the lineup each of the three times the Cardinals have faced a traditional lefty starter. However, it could be more about picking spots to rest Nootbaar following a long layoff than it is about him being in a platoon. Nelson Velazquez will play left field for St. Louis in the series opener.

Church is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Kansas City.

Church made nine consecutive starts in center field after returning from the injured list June 9, but the left-handed hitter will take a seat for this one as the Royals send southpaw Noah Cameron to the hill. Jose Fermin will patrol center field for the Cardinals.

The Tigers will place Perez (face) on the 10-day injured list prior to Friday's game versus the White Sox, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Perez got hurt Tuesday in a weight room incident when he was struck in the face by a plyometric band. It's unclear what specific injury he is dealing with, but it will cost him at least the next week-plus of action. Trei Cruz will absorb Perez's spot on the Detroit roster.

Garcia will undergo season-ending surgery Wednesday to repair a torn right lat.

Garcia suffered the injury last week while making a throw and was placed on the 60-day injured list. He is expected to require 6-to-8 months to recover, giving him enough time to be ready for the start of the 2027 season if all goes well. Garcia finishes the season with a .195/.270/.329 batting line and seven home runs over 67 contests for the Phillies. The 33-year-old will become a free agent after the season.

Rodriguez (hamstring) isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against Baltimore.

Rodriguez was forced to make an early exit from Wednesday's game due to hamstring spasms, and he'll take a day off Thursday to recover. With both Rodriguez and Luke Raley (back) sitting with injuries, the Mariners will start Miles Mastrobuoni, Victor Robles and Dominic Canzone across the outfield.

Raley isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles due to the flu, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Mariners manager Dan Wilson said that Raley is over the back tightness that caused him to miss the last two games, but the outfielder has since caught a flu bug. Raley is expected back in the lineup Friday. In the meantime, Miles Mastrobuoni, Victor Robles and Dominic Canzone will form Seattle's outfield trio Thursday.

The White Sox recalled Perez from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.

He'll grab the roster spot vacated by the injured Everson Pereira (concussion) and could work his way into the outfield rotation on the south side of Chicago. Acquired from the Athletics last month in a trade, Perez has slashed .217/.292/.401 with seven home runs, nine stolen bases and a 23:84 BB:K over 56 games at the Triple-A level in 2026. The 24-year-old has loud tools but also major contact issues, so it could be a tough immediate transition to facing big-league pitching.

Frelick is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Cleveland.

Lefty Parker Messick is starting for the Guardians, so the left-handed-hitting Frelick will get a breather for the series finale. He'll cede his spot in right field to Jake Bauers, who will bat fifth.
