  • Lucas Giolito SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Lucas Giolito: Orioles-Red Sox game rained out

    Giolito will not pitch Thursday after Boston's game against Baltimore was postponed due to inclement weather.

    The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Friday. Giolito will start one of the games, although it's not yet clear whether he'll take the ball in the afternoon or in the nightcap.

  • Cade Povich SP | BAL

    Orioles' Cade Povich: Orioles-Red Sox postponed

    Povich and the Orioles won't play the Red Sox as scheduled Thursday, as the game was postponed due to rain.

    The two clubs will make up Thursday's contest during a doubleheader Friday, and it's likely that Povich will be given the start in one of the two games. The 25-year-old lefty has already faced the Red Sox once this season, giving up three earned runs and punching out eight batters in 4.1 innings during his season debut March 31.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Return not imminent

    Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Wednesday that it will be another 7-to-10 days before Seager (hamstring) is activated from the 10-day injured list, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Seager has resumed running and is doing "very well" in his recovery from a right hamstring strain, per Bochy. However, this is his second hamstring-related IL stint this season, his third since 2023 and fourth in his career, so the Rangers want to be cautious with the shortstop. Seager has been sent to be "further evaluated by somebody else," Bochy said, to see if there might be something the team and Seager can do differently with his rehab to prevent future hamstring problems. Seager has been limited to just 26 games this season because of his recurring hamstring issues, but he's been productive when on the field, slashing .300/.346/.520 with six home runs.

  • Jacob Lopez RP | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Lopez: Likely starting Saturday vs. PHI

    Lopez is likely to start for the Athletics on Saturday versus the Phillies, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    While he has not yet been officially recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas, Lopez already has a locker in the Athletics' clubhouse. The left-hander will be sliding into the rotation in place of the injured J.T. Ginn (quad). Lopez has made one start and three relief appearances at the big-league level this season, collecting a 3.86 ERA and 9:7 K:BB over seven innings. He could earn additional starts while Ginn recuperates.

  • Jo Adell CF | LAA

    Angels' Jo Adell: Shows positive sign with homer

    Adell went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk Wednesday in a 10-5 win against the Athletics.

    Adell entered Wednesday in a prolonged slump at the plate -- over his previous 26 games, he batted .155 with a 4:21 BB:K. The outfielder was able to get going a bit Wednesday, swatting a 416-foot solo homer in the fourth inning for his first long ball in his past 10 contests and later taking a walk. Adell did strike out twice, though, and his K rate on the season is a poor 27.2 percent. He's still getting regular opportunities, starting in four of the Angels' past five contests, but his value in fantasy has been mostly limited to his power -- he's slugged six home runs but has just one stolen base and a .190 batting average over 136 plate appearances.

  • Rockies' Chase Dollander: Placed on injured list

    The Rockies placed Dollander on the 15-day injured list Thursday with right forearm tightness, retroactive to Monday.

    Dollander pitched well during his most recent start Sunday, giving up just one run and striking out six batters in 4.2 innings, but he appears to have come away from his outing with a forearm issue that will sideline him for a couple of weeks. Juan Mejia will come up from Triple-A to fill the open roster spot, though it's unclear who will take Dollander's place in the starting rotation.

  • Juan Mejia RP | COL

    Rockies' Juan Mejia: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Rockies recalled Mejia from Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.

    He's absorbing the roster spot vacated by Chase Dollander (forearm), who went on the 15-day injured list. Mejia has made six appearances out of the Rockies' bullpen this season, permitting eight runs (four earned) with a 10:3 K:BB across 7.2 frames.

  • Michael Toglia 1B | COL

    Rockies' Michael Toglia: Getting break to work on swing

    Rockies interim manager Warren Schaeffer said that Toglia is out of the lineup again Thursday in order to work on his swing and approach, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

    Toglia is absent from the Rockies' lineup for a second straight day Thursday and the third time over the last six contests. However, it sounds like this is more of a reset for the first baseman rather than a demotion. Toglia is slashing only .205/.272/.367 with a league-leading 71 strikeouts this season.

  • Matthew Lugo 3B | LAA

    Angels' Matthew Lugo: Out of Halos' lineup

    Lugo is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Athletics.

    After a stretch with five straight starts -- four of them coming in center field -- Lugo has now been on the bench twice in three games. It will be Kyren Paris in center field and batting ninth for the Angels in Thursday's series finale.

  • Luis Rengifo 3B | LAA

    Angels' Luis Rengifo: Taking seat Thursday

    Rengifo is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Athletics.

    It appears to be a routine day of rest for Rengifo, who had started each of the previous six tilts. Tim Anderson is at second base and batting seventh as the Halos try to run their winning streak to seven games.
