    Thomas (hamstring) has taken batting practice is now advancing to running the bases, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Thomas was set commence the baserunning portion of his recovery Wednesday. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said he's not yet at full speed but is progressing well in his recovery.

  • Collects two hits in loss
    McCarthy started in left field and went 2-for-4 in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to St. Louis.

    Advice: McCarthy slotted in for Lourdes Gurriel, who was rested for an afternoon tilt following a night game. McCarthy has been on a roll, hitting safely in seven of eight contests at 9-for-24 (.375) with three walks, two steals, three RBI and five runs. He'll continue to make three or four starts per week until Alek Thomas (hamstring) is ready to return. The injured outfielder has begun taking batting practice and is ready to run the bases, per Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • Chase Anderson to start for Red Sox on Thursday
    Chase Anderson will start for the Red Sox on Thursday against the Guardians.

    Advice: The Red Sox are in a tough spot with Brayan Bello heading to the injured list and need to scramble to fill his spot in the starting rotation. Anderson has been used in a multi-inning role out of the bullpen, but he has thrown 25 or fewer pitches in each of his last four outings. Don’t expect him to work more than two or three innings before passing the baton on Thursday. Rotoworld 15 minutes ago
     
  • Exits with injury
    Marsh was removed from his start Wednesday versus Toronto after getting hit by a comebacker, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Marsh took a 94-mph line drive off his right forearm during the fifth inning and looked to be in a considerable amount of pain before leaving the game with trainers. The Royals will take a closer look at him and should offer an update on his status after Wednesday's game. The 25-year-old righty pitched 4.1 innings of shutout ball before exiting.

  • Logs hit in return
    Alexander started at shortstop and went 1-for-4 in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Cardinals.

    Advice: Alexander returned to the lineup after missing two games due to a hamstring. He was moved up to second in the order, as a couple of Arizona regulars were getting a breather. Alexander also committed his fourth throwing error of the season (minus-7 outs above average), although the fielding issues haven't impacted his playing time or offense. Alexander is hitting .316/.371/.915 with four doubles, three home runs and 15 RBI over 62 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
     
  • Rangers claim Kolton Ingram off of waivers
    Rangers claimed LHP Kolton Ingram off of waivers from the Mets.

    Advice: The Mets were the latest team to try to slip the 27-year-old southpaw through waivers unclaimed, but once again someone was willing to take a flier on him. Ingram posted a 7.20 ERA, 2.20 WHIP and a 3/6 K/BB ratio across five innings at Triple-A Syracuse. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago
     
  • Rangers outright Jared Walsh to Triple-A
    Rangers sent 1B Jared Walsh outright to Triple-A Round Rock.

    Advice: It’s a bit surprising to see the 30-year-old slugger pass through waivers unclaimed, though he hit just .226/.317/.321 with a homer and seven RBI in 60 plate appearances with the Rangers while covering for the injured Nathaniel Lowe. He’ll continue to function as excess depth at Triple-A. Rotoworld 29 minutes ago

  • Blue Jays recall Addison Barger from Triple-A
    Blue Jays recalled INF Addison Barger from Triple-A Buffalo.

    Advice: The 24-year-old is taking the place of the injured Kevin Kiermaier (hip) on the team’s active roster. Barger was off to a terrific start at Triple-A Buffalo, slashing .314/.435/.586 with three homers and 21 RBI through his first 19 games. He’ll add depth and versatility on the Jays’ bench.

  • Blue Jays place Kevin Kiermaier (hip) on 10-day IL
    Blue Jays placed OF Kevin Kiermaier on the 10-day injured list with left hip flexor inflammation.

    Advice: Kiermaier suffered the injury during Tuesday’s game against the Royals and he wasn’t feeling much better on Wednesday, so the Blue Jays were forced to place him on the injured list. Addison Barger was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo to take his place on the Jays’ active roster. Rotoworld 40 minutes ago
