Goodman suffered a right middle finger laceration during Thursday night's contest against San Diego, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Goodman took a fastball off his right hand while batting in the top of the sixth inning, and he now has an official diagnosis after exiting the contest. The catcher's status will likely be updated ahead of Friday's second contest of the Rockies' four-game set in San Diego, but he should be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Goodman exited Thursday's contest against the Padres in sixth inning with an apparent finger injury after being hit by a pitch, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Goodman was struck in the hand by a 95.1-mph fastball from San Diego starter Randy Vasquez to open the top of the sixth inning. The catcher tried to finish the frame, but he was ultimately removed from the contest with one out in the inning. Goodman's finger was bleeding at the time of his removal, and more information on his status will likely be provided in the near future. In the meantime, Brett Sullivan has taken over behind the plate against the Padres.

Robert went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Thursday in a loss to the Diamondbacks.

Robert produced the first and only Mets run with a solo shot to center field in the first inning. The long ball was his second of the season and extended his on-base streak to eight games. In fact, Robert has reached base in all but one of his 12 contests on the campaign and is slashing .333/.480/.487 with the pair of homers, eight runs, seven RBI and two stolen bases while taking 11 walks, which is tied for fifth most in the majors.

Caissie went 3-for-4 with two doubles, three RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 8-1 win over the Reds.

Caissie continues to swing a hot bat for Miami. After striking out in his first at-bat Thursday, Caissie doubled home a pair of runs in the fourth, doubled and scored in the sixth and singled home another run in the seventh. Thursday marked Caissie's eighth start in 13 games, as he hasn't started against a lefty since Opening Day. He's now slashing .324/.385/.618 with four doubles, two home runs, 12 RBI, six runs scored, one stolen base and a 3:13 BB:K across 39 trips to the plate.

Andujar isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against Colorado.

Andujar has gone 7-for-17 during the five games he's played since the start of April, but the Padres will keep him on the bench to begin Thursday's contest. Nick Castellanos will start as the designated hitter and bat seventh in the series opener.

Laureano isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies.

Laureano will get a chance to rest during Thursday's series opener after going 2-for-5 with a run scored and two steals during Wednesday's win over Pittsburgh. Gavin Sheets will take over in left field while Laureano sits, opening up first base for Ty France.

Meadows suffered a concussion as a result of a collision in the outfield with Riley Greene during Thursday's game versus the Twins, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Meadows also bit the inside of his mouth upon impact with Greene, resulting in lots of bleeding. He will be held overnight in a Minneapolis hospital for observation, and placement on the 7-day concussion injured list should be a foregone conclusion. The Tigers could recall Wenceel Perez from Triple-A Toledo to take Meadows' roster spot, with Perez and Matt Vierling likely to handle center-field duties.

Soto (calf) has been swinging a bat indoors and playing catch but is not close to being cleared for a running program, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Soto suffered a right calf strain less than a week ago, so it's not terribly surprising he's not ready to test things out by running yet. The Mets believe Soto's injury is minor, though his stay on the injured list is expected to extend past the minimum 10 days. Mark Vientos has picked up extra playing time since Soto was injured.

Carroll will sit out Thursday's game against the Mets due to a minor hip injury, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Carroll said he tweaked something in his hip while legging out a triple in Wednesday's win, though he noted that he isn't dealing with anything serious and expects to be back in action relatively soon. The 25-year-old outfielder has gotten off to a strong start this season, slashing .333/.408/.690 with two home runs, 11 RBI, nine runs scored and a steal through his first 12 games.

Meadows was removed from Thursday's game against the Twins in the eighth inning following a collision in the outfield, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Meadows appeared to take a blow to the head when he collided with fellow outfielder Riley Greene, who secured the catch. Meadows was carted off the field, though he was sitting up and alert. The 26-year-old sure to undergo concussion testing, and he looked to be bleeding from his mouth, as well. The Tigers should have more on his condition after the game.
