  • Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Heading to IL with sprained thumb

    Chisholm has been diagnosed with a right thumb sprain and will be placed on the 10-day injured list, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

    Chisholm suffered the injury on a slide into second base during Tuesday's game versus the Rockies. He will be shut down from baseball activities for 7-to-10 days before being re-evaluated. Given the timing of the injury, it's possible Chisholm won't make it back before the end of the regular season. Anthony Volpe could replace Chisholm on the active roster, and if that happens Volpe is an option to share starts at second base with Jose Caballero.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Will not play Wednesday

    Orioles manager Craig Albernaz said that Henderson (foot) will not be in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Henderson had to be lifted from Tuesday's contest after fouling a ball off his foot, and he remains sore. The Orioles are idle Thursday, so Henderson will aim to return to action Friday when Baltimore begins a road trip in Toronto.

  • Mike Soroka SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Michael Soroka: Reinstated from injured list

    The Diamondbacks activated Soroka (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    The 29-year-old will follow starter Zac Gallen in Kansas City on Wednesday in what's expected to be a piggyback appearance. Soroka did not make any rehab appearances, instead opting for a 59-pitch simulated game Friday. The right-hander could make some starts later this month, though the Diamondbacks have not divulged their specific plans for the righty.

  • Zac Gallen SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Activated for Wednesday's start

    The Diamondbacks activated Gallen (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

    Gallen will rejoin the Diamondbacks' rotation with a start Wednesday in Kansas City after missing the past two months due to right elbow inflammation. The right-hander built up to four innings and 60 pitches during a simulated game Friday, so he should be capable of around 70 pitches. Michael Soroka (shoulder) was also activated from the IL and will work behind Gallen in Wednesday's series finale.

  • Miguel Vargas 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Rare day off Wednesday

    Vargas is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's tilt against the Pirates.

    It's a rare day off for Vargas, who had started every White Sox game since Aug. 13. Colson Montgomery will slide over to third base for the Southsiders while Vargas gets a breather.

  • Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Sitting out with thumb injury

    Chisholm (thumb) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rockies.

    Chisholm had to be lifted from Tuesday's contest against the Rockies after hurting his right thumb on a slide into second base. He is listed among the Yankees' reserves on the lineup card, so Chisholm has avoided a trip to the injured list for the time being. Jose Caballero is stepping in at second base in Chisholm's stead.

  • Chase DeLauter RF | CLE

    Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Returning to Cleveland lineup

    DeLauter (wrist) will start in right field and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

    DeLauter missed the previous four contests while battling a sprained right wrist, but he is feeling well enough to give it a go in Wednesday's series finale. The rookie outfielder is slashing .329/.404/.479 during the second half, though he's homered only twice in 40 games.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Scratched from St. Louis lineup

    Winn was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Francisco due to left thumb soreness, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Winn just returned from the 10-day injured list Tuesday after missing more than two weeks with a left thumb fracture, and it seems he might have been activated too soon. If Winn needs to go back on the IL, it would likely end his season. The Cardinals could offer more on the shortstop's status after Wednesday's contest. Jose Fermin will enter the lineup in Winn's place and will play second base, while Thomas Saggese will shift over to shortstop.

  • Marlins' Bradley Blalock: Dispatched to Jacksonville

    The Marlins optioned Blalock to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

    A spot on the active roster was needed to accommodate the return of Pete Fairbanks (hand) from the injured list. Blalock made two three-inning relief appearances during his brief stint with the Marlins, yielding a total of two runs with a 6:2 K:BB.

  • Pete Fairbanks RP | MIA

    Marlins' Pete Fairbanks: Reinstated from injured list

    The Marlins activated Fairbanks (hand) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    As expected, Fairbanks required only a minimum 15-day absence while recovering from medial nerve irritation in his pitching hand. The right-hander did not make any rehab appearances, but he will likely immediately be thrown back into the closer role after a relatively brief absence.
