Zach Britton - R - Orioles

Zach Britton (forearm) is expected to make minor league rehab appearances on Thursday and Friday.

Britton will pitch at Double-A Bowie on Thursday, then move on to a scheduled Friday rehab showing at High-A Frederick before making potentially his final rehab appearance with Triple-A Norfolk on Monday. The ace closer is tracking toward a return on July 5.

Kris Bryant - 3B - Cubs

Kris Bryant left Wednesday's game against the Nationals due to a possible right ankle injury.

Bryant was tracking a pop up in the fifth inning when he tripped over third base. He was noticeably limited while he subsequently trudged to the clubhouse with the trainer. The Cubs should pass along an update on the severity of Bryant's injury in due time.

Mark Melancon - R - Giants

Mark Melancon (elbow) received a PRP injection on Wednesday.

While Melancon just landed on the disabled list with a right pronator strain in his elbow, the PRP shot was actually administered in his forearm. He has now been placed on the disabled list twice with elbow issues this season. The Giants are well out of contention and have no reason to rush him back, so expect them to treat this recurrence with caution. Sam Dyson will close for San Francisco while Melancon is out of commission.

Andrew Knapp - C - Phillies

Andrew Knapp went 2-for-3 with a go-ahead RBI single in Wednesday's win over the Mariners.

Knapp rocked an RBI single off Edwin Diaz with two outs in the ninth inning to snap a 4-4 tie. The backup catcher is hitting a modest .250/.342/.385 with three homers and 10 RBI across 104 at-bats, but will have at least one fun little moment to look back on when all is said and done this season.
Jun 28 - 8:33 PM
Tommy Joseph - 1B - Phillies

Tommy Joseph cracked a game-tying solo home run in the ninth inning of Wednesday's win over the Mariners.

Joseph socked a no-doubt solo shot off Edwin Diaz to lead off the ninth inning, tying up the game in the process. The Phillies would later pick up a go-ahead RBI single from Andrew Knapp and go on to win 5-4. For his part, Joseph is now hitting .250/.312/.449 with 13 homers and 38 RBI in 72 games played. He has gone yard in three of his last six games.
Jun 28 - 8:28 PM
Matt Shoemaker - S - Angels

Matt Shoemaker (forearm) will throw a bullpen session on Thursday.

Shoemaker played catch on Wednesday. This is a positive sign for the right-hander, who had been dealing with continued soreness in his forearm and was just cleared to resume throwing last week. Assuming his bullpen session goes well on Thursday, he could be nearing a rehab assignment. Parker Bridwell will continue to start in his place until he is healthy enough to return to action.

Edwin Diaz - R - Mariners

Edwin Diaz blew his third game of the season by allowing two runs in the ninth inning of Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Phillies.

Diaz came on with the Mariners clinging to a 4-3 lead. That would not last for long, as he coughed up a solo homer to Tommy Joseph to lead off the ninth inning. Following a pair of strikeouts, Diaz walked Cameron Perkins, balked him over to second and then surrendered a go-ahead RBI single to Andrew Knapp. Diaz has allowed six runs in his last 1 1/3 innings, but after the game, manager Scott Servais said that he would remain at closer moving forward.
Jun 28 - 8:16 PM
Chase Anderson - S - Brewers

Chase Anderson left Wednesday's game against the Reds due to a left oblique strain.

Anderson appeared to suffer the injury while striking out swinging in the second inning. Obliques are notoriously difficult injuries to gauge when it comes to a timetable for a return. A stint on the disabled list will probably be needed, here.
