    • Sitting third straight
      Urias isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

      Advice: After making three straight starts at third base, Urias has now been absent from the Orioles' last three starting lineups. Jordan Westburg will move to the hot corner Thursday while Jorge Mateo starts at the keystone and bats ninth. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago

    • Ruled out through All-Star break
      Wicks (oblique) is not expected to return until after the All-Star break, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

      Advice: Wicks was diagnosed with a Grade 2 right oblique strain just under two weeks ago and has not yet been cleared to begin a throwing program. He'll need to be built back up and eventually require a rehab assignment before returning, so the left-hander still looks to be several weeks away. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
       
    • Rehab assignment coming
      Cobb (hip/shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Friday and could begin a rehab assignment with Single-A San Jose afterward if everything goes smoothly, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Cobb has been trending in the right direction since being shut down in May due to soreness in his right (throwing) shoulder. However, he still needs to build back up to a starter's workload after spending all season on the injured list, so he likely won't return to the Giants' rotation until after the All-Star break.

    • Throwing bullpen session
      Harrison (ankle) will throw a bullpen session Friday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Harrison resumed throwing on flat ground earlier this week and has now been cleared to try things from the bump. It's been more than two weeks since Harrison made a start, so it's likely he'll be asked to go out on a short rehab assignment once he's deemed ready. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
       
    • Sitting Thursday
      Laureano isn't in Atlanta's lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox.

      Advice: Laureano has slashed .257/.257/.457 with a homer and four RBI in 35 plate appearances since joining Atlanta on June 15. He'll get a breather versus Chad Kuhl and the Sox, allowing Adam Duvall to start in right field and bat eighth. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago
       
    • Poised to come off IL Friday
      Wade (hamstring) will be activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Wade has been sidelined for the past month with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain but has been cleared to return after playing three rehab games with Triple-A Sacramento, going 1-for-7 with a 2:4 K:BB. The 30-year-old has slashed a robust .333/.470/.426 for the Giants this season and will go back to receiving regular starts at first base against right-handed pitching. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago

    • Strong results in rehab outing
      Williams (elbow) yielded one run on three hits and two walks over four innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.

      Advice: Williams wasn't very efficient, needing 82 pitches to cover his four frames. The results were impressive, though, as he struck out six, induced 16 whiffs and gave up just one batted ball hit at 95+ mph. The Guardians have not confirmed any plans for when Williams' season debut for them will occur, but it could be next week, as soon as Tuesday versus the White Sox. Williams has been on the injured list all season with a right elbow problem. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago
       
    • Returning Thursday
      Arcia (head) will start at shortstop Thursday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

      Advice: Arcia has been held out of action since being pulled from Monday's game due to dizziness. Now that the issue has subsided, he'll return to his role as Atlanta's shortstop and look to get back on track after going just 1-for-19 with seven strikeouts across his last six contests.

    • Cubs move Yency Almonte to 60-day IL
      Cubs transferred RHP Yency Almonte (shoulder) to 60-day IL

      Advice: Almonte has a shoulder strain and has not been progressing, which has led the Cubs to seek other opinions on a recovery process. The move doesn’t change his ambiguous timeline but frees up a roster spot that allows the Cubs to add reliever Vinny Nittoli to the active roster. Rotoworld 42 minutes ago
