    • Ruled out through All-Star break
      Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Thursday that Walker (finger) will not return before the All-Star break, Paul Casella of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The team doesn't have a timetable to offer yet on Walker, who is dealing with right index finger inflammation, but it is not expecting him back before the end of the first half. With Spencer Turnbull (lat) joining Walker on the 15-day injured list, the Phillies' rotation depth is being tested. Filling the fifth spot for now will be Michael Mercado.

    • Moved to 60-day IL
      The Reds transferred Pagan (lat) to the 60-day injured list Thursday.

      Advice: Pagan landed on the injured list June 9 due to a strained right lat, and his move to the 60-day IL will ensure that he remains sidelined until at least early August. His 40-man roster spot will be given to Noelvi Marte, who was reinstated from his 80-game suspension Thursday. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
       
    • Reinstated from suspension
      The Reds activated Marte from the suspended list Thursday.

      Advice: Marte has completed his 80-game PED suspension and the Reds will return him to their active roster on the first day he's eligible. The 22-year-old struggled mightily while on his rehab assignment, slashing just .151/.151/.170 with no home runs and a 15:0 K:BB over 53 plate appearances. Fantasy managers might be wise to keep Marte out of their lineups for now while he knocks some rust off, but the infielder should be rostered virtually everywhere. He should operate as the Reds' primary third baseman. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago
       
    • Optioned to Louisville
      The Reds optioned Soto to Triple-A Louisville on Thursday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

      Advice: With Noelvi Marte making his return from an 80-game suspension, Soto will be pushed back into the minors. He went 0-for-3 with a strikeout during his season debut Wednesday and owns a .767 OPS through 230 plate appearances in Triple-A. Should the Reds run into any more infield depth problems, there's a good chance Soto would be the one to get the call back Cincinnati. Rotowire.com 47 minutes ago

    • Out of Yankees lineup
      LeMahieu is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Toronto.

      Advice: LeMahieu is still without an extra-base hit this season and has tallied just one single across his last five games. Oswaldo Cabrera will occupy third base for the Yankees in their series opener versus the Blue Jays. Rotowire.com 53 minutes ago

    • Riding bench again Thursday
      Torres is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Toronto.

      Advice: Yankees manager Aaron Boone had intimated after not starting Torres on Wednesday that the second baseman might get an additional day off to regroup, and the skipper has done just that. Torres is in a 2-for-29 slump at the plate and has also had some defensive lapses. Jahmai Jones is getting a rare start at the keystone Thursday. Rotowire.com 56 minutes ago
       
    • Expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks
      Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Thursday that he expects Turnbull (lat) to be sidelined for 6-to-8 weeks, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

      Advice: Turnbull suffered a right lat strain in his first start back in the Phillies' rotation Wednesday and was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday. Given the pitcher's lengthy injury history, the team will proceed with extra caution. Michael Mercado will slide into the Philadelphia rotation for now, at least until Taijuan Walker (finger) is ready. Rotowire.com 58 minutes ago

    • Out of Thursday's lineup
      Jansen isn't in the Blue Jays' lineup Thursday against the Yankees.

      Advice: Jansen broke an 0-for-12 skid with a double during Wednesday's victory, and he'll now get a breather for Thursday's series opener. Alejandro Kirk will start behind the dish and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 1:00 pm
       
    • Sitting Thursday versus lefty
      Horwitz isn't in the Blue Jays' lineup for Thursday's game versus the Yankees.

      Advice: With left-hander Carlos Rodon on the mound for New York, the lefty-hitting Horwitz will begin Thursday's contest on the bench. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will shift to second base as a result, allowing Ernie Clement to start at third while batting ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 12:58 pm
