• Returns to lineup
    Urias (wrist) will play third base and bat eighth in Thursday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: It's his first start since he exited the second game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Rockies when he was hit by a pitch on the right wrist. However, the Mariners had faced two straight righties, so Urias might not have been in the lineup, anyway. He and his teammates will go up against southpaw Andrew Heaney on Thursday.

  • Held out again Thursday
    Crawford (oblique) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Rangers.

    Advice: Crawford had to be scratched from Wednesday's lineup with right oblique soreness and now will miss second straight start. Infielder Leo Rivas has joined the Mariners on their taxi squad, per Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM, so it would appear possible that Crawford will require a stint on the injured list. Dylan Moore is handling shortstop Thursday. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
     
  • Back in action Thursday
    Raleigh (mouth) will catch and bat third in Thursday's game versus the Rangers.

    Advice: Raleigh had to miss Wednesday's contest following a dental procedure, but he'll be back in there for Thursday's series finale in Texas. The switch-hitting catcher enters play Thursday having homered in four of his last five games. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
     
  • Starting rehab assignment
    Topa (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Topa has been out since late March with left patellar tendinitis but has been cleared to try things out in a game setting. The reliever presumably will need multiple rehab appearances before joining the Twins' bullpen. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago

  • Sits against southpaw
    Biggio is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: With the Blue Jays and Royals concluding their series with a day game after a night game and with a southpaw (Cole Ragans) on the hill for Kansas City, the lefty-hitting Biggio will get the afternoon off. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will step in for Biggio at the keystone. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago

  • Royals place Alec Marsh (elbow) on 15-day IL
    Royals placed Alec Marsh on the 15-day injured list with a right elbow contusion.

    Advice: Marsh was hit by a line drive off Addison Barger on Wednesday which made him leave the game early. Originally the team called it a forearm injury, but tests revealed that the injury is on his elbow. The 25-year-old will be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks before he can return to action. Rotoworld 31 minutes ago

  • Gets rest Thursday
    Jansen is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Jansen will get a breather for the day game after he caught eight innings of Wednesday's 3-2 loss while going 1-for-3 with a walk. Alejandro Kirk gets the nod behind the dish for Toronto in the series finale in Kansas City. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago
  • Summoned to majors
    The Royals recalled Klein from Triple-A Omaha on Thursday.

    Advice: Klein, 24, has allowed just one unearned run with a 12:6 K:BB over 11 innings this season with Omaha. The reliever will be making his major-league debut when/if he enters a game. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago
     
  • Sent back to minors
    The Nationals optioned Millas to Triple-A Rochester on Thursday.

    Advice: Washington no longer had a need for Millas as a backup catcher after the team reinstated Keibert Ruiz (illness) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. During his week-and-a-half-long stint with the Nationals, Millas appeared in two games and went 1-for-6 with a stolen base. Rotowire.com 35 minutes ago
