  • Tommy Hawke LF | CLE

    Guardians' Tommy Hawke: Back in action at High-A

    Hawke (shoulder) has gone 3-for-10 with a double, two walks and two stolen bases in three games with High-A Lake County since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list April 30.

    Hawke missed just under a month to begin the season while completing his recovering from the right shoulder injury he suffered last July. With 65 steals in 67 games between Single-A and High-A last season, the 23-year-old outfielder was one of the minor league's more prolific base stealers when healthy.

  • Roman Anthony LF | BOS

    Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Missing third straight start

    Anthony (wrist) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays.

    Anthony will miss a third straight start as he continues to recover from a sprained right wrist. The Red Sox have been optimistic that Anthony can avoid the injured list, but the more this drags out, the likelier an IL stint becomes. Masataka Yoshida is grabbing another start at designated hitter Thursday.

  • Yankees' Jasson Dominguez: In concussion protocol, getting MRI

    Dominguez is in concussion protocol and will undergo an MRI on his injured left shoulder, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    Dominguez was removed from Thursday's game against the Rangers after crashing into the outfield wall following a catch. The Yankees are saying he will be monitored for the next several days, so it sounds like he's destined to land on the 7-day concussion injured list even if the imaging on his shoulder comes back clean. More will be known about Dominguez's status in the coming days. With Giancarlo Stanton (calf) also still out, the Yankees could give more playing time to Paul Goldschmidt and/or Amed Rosario.

  • Henry Davis C | PIT

    Pirates' Henry Davis: Idle Thursday

    Davis isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Davis will step out of the starting nine Thursday after going 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in Wednesday's contest. Joey Bart will do the catching for starter Mitch Keller.

  • Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Taking seat Thursday

    Gurriel is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Pirates.

    Gurriel will receive a routine day of rest after starting the last four contests. Jorge Barrosa will assume left-field duties for the Diamondbacks in the series finale.

  • Yankees' Jasson Dominguez: Carted off after slamming into wall

    Dominguez was carted off the field after slamming into the outfield wall following a catch in the first inning of Thursday's game against the Rangers, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    The first batter of the game, Brandon Nimmo, drove one deep to left field and Dominguez tracked it down before crashing into a section of the outfield wall that isn't padded. He stayed down for a bit but was able to walk to the cart on his own. The Yankees should have an update on Dominguez's status soon.

  • Diamondbacks' Ryan Waldschmidt: Exits Tuesday after pitch to head

    Waldschmidt was out of the lineup Wednesday for Triple-A Reno's 9-5 loss to Sacramento after he was removed from Tuesday's series opener when he was hit in the helmet by a pitch in the top of the first inning, Preston Salisbury of AZSnakePit.com reports.

    Waldschmidt initially stayed in the game after being evaluated, but he was lifted prior to the bottom of the second inning. The Diamondbacks haven't confirmed that Waldschmidt sustained a concussion or is dealing with concussion-like symptoms, but he'll be day-to-day until he makes his return to the Reno lineup. One of the top outfield prospects in baseball, Waldschmidt has provided a .285/.400/.480 slash line with three home runs and six steals over 151 plate appearances at Triple-A this season.

  • Seiya Suzuki RF | CHC

    Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Exiting starting lineup

    Suzuki is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Reds.

    It looks to be a routine day off for Suzuki, who had started each of the previous six contests for the Cubs. Michael Conforto is getting a rare start in right field as the Cubs try to a complete a four-game series sweep.

  • Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Sitting out matinee

    Goodman is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Mets.

    Goodman was in the lineup for each of the last nine games, so he'll receive a breather during Thursday's matinee. Brett Sullivan will handle the catching duties and bat ninth for the Rockies.

  • James Wood RF | WAS

    Nationals' James Wood: Swipes two bags in Wednesday's rout

    Wood went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs scored, two RBI and two stolen bases in Wednesday's win over the Twins.

    Both steals came against the battery of Bailey Ober and Victor Caratini, as Wood improved to a 7-for-8 showing on the basepaths this season. The 23-year-old's bat has gone a little cold, however -- he hasn't homered in 11 straight games, a stretch in which he's slashing .200/.347/.250 with two doubles, six runs and six RBI.
