Solarte leaves with mild left oblique strain

Yangervis Solarte left Wednesday's game against the Rockies with a mild left oblique strain.

Solarte sustained the injury while attempting to make a throw in the seventh inning. The mild designation suggests it may not be a devastating injury, but obliques are tricky. The Padres should give some more insight into his outlook in the next day or two.

Sabathia activated for Thursday start vs TOR

Yankees activated LHP CC Sabathia from the 10-day disabled list.

Sabathia will return to the Yankees' rotation on Thursday against the Blue Jays. He didn't make a minor league rehab start, but the veteran left-hander did throw a couple of extended bullpen sessions. Sabathia has been on the disabled list since April 7 because of a minor hip strain.

Ken Giles unavailable because of back injury

Astros manager A.J. Hinch said Thursday that Ken Giles has been unavailable for the last couple of games due to a back issue.

And it sounds like the hard-throwing closer won't be available on Thursday, either, with a DL stint looming as a possibility. "When we got to Seattle he reported a little bit of back soreness and it’s progressively gotten a little bit worse to where he can’t go yet," said Hinch. "Right now given that he can’t move around and do the things that he normally does, it’s a little concerning." Chris Devenski should already be owned in all standard fantasy leagues.

No fractures in Freddie Freeman's left wrist

Freddie Freeman has no fractures in his left wrist and is considered day-to-day.

Phew. Freeman got struck on the wrist by a 90 mph Holby Milner fastball on Wednesday night -- the same wrist he fractured in 2017 -- but all is apparently well. The star first baseman might only miss a game or two.

Molitor expects Max Kepler (knee) to be 'OK'

Twins manager Paul Molitor said he thinks Max Kepler (knee) is "going to be OK."

Kepler was pulled from Wednesday's series finale against the Indians with some discomfort in his right knee, but Molitor says that move was mostly precautionary. The Twins have an off day Thursday as they make their way back from San Juan, Puerto Rico. Kepler will be reevaluated ahead of Friday night's series opener at Tampa Bay. Ryan LaMarre replaced him in the outfield Wednesday and went on to hit a walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the 16th inning.

Tommy Pham says right groin is not an issue

Tommy Pham told Jim Hayes of Fox Sports Midwest on Thursday that his right groin is fine.

Pham felt some discomfort in the groin toward the end of Tuesday night's win over the Cubs, but he finished out that game in center field and could be available in Thursday afternoon's makeup (for Wednesday's rainout) at Wrigley Field. St. Louis will instead play it safe, starting Harrison Bader in center and batting him second Thursday against Cubs left-hander Jon Lester. Pham should be back in there for Friday's series opener versus the Reds.

Javy Baez jumps to No. 2 spot in Cubs lineup

Javier Baez has been bumped up to the No. 2 spot in the Cubs' lineup for Thursday's game against the Cardinals.

Baez boasts a 1.402 OPS with five home runs and 12 RBI over his last six games, though he's always been a streaky hitter. Kris Bryant is batting third and Anthony Rizzo will bat cleanup versus right-hander Luke Weaver.

Cardinals officially promote OF Tyler O'Neill

Cardinals recalled OF Tyler O'Neill from Triple-A Memphis.

O'Neill was batting .388 with a 1.221 OPS through 52 plate appearances this season at Memphis while leading the Pacific Coast League in RBI (18), total bases (41), and home runs (6). He probably won't get a whole lot of playing time in the Cardinals' outfield behind Marcell Ozuna, Tommy Pham, and Dexter Fowler, but the 22-year-old slugger is a nice addition to the St. Louis bench.

Reds can skipper Bryan Price amid 3-15 start

Reds fired manager Bryan Price.

And pitching coach Mack Jenkins will follow him out the door. Price takes the fall for a Reds team that has opened the season with a dreadful 3-15 record and -46 run differential, both worst in the major leagues. Price didn't have a winning season in his four-plus years in Cincinnati, though he also never had a very good roster. Jim Riggleman will take over as interim manager, Louisville manager Pat Kelly has been promoted to be the Reds' bench coach, and Pensacola pitching coach Danny Darwin is now on the major league staff.

Berrios fires seven scoreless in Puerto Rico

Jose Berrios allowed zero runs on three hits in seven innings against the Indians on Wednesday in his native Puerto Rico.

The spotlight was squarely on Berrios coming into this game at Hiram Bithorn Stadium in Puerto Rico. Berrios grew up just a few miles away and pitched one of the best games of his career tonight. He struck out five, didn't walk anyone and allowed just three harmless singles. He matched opposing starter Carlos Carrasco zero-for-zero on the scoreboard through seven innings and both teams' bullpens were just as good as the starters. Neither team scored until the 14th inning. Berrios has a spectacular 1.63 ERA with 29 strikeouts and one walk after four starts.

Cespedes crushes grand slam vs Nationals

Yoenis Cespedes went 2-for-5 and buried the Nationals with a grand slam in Wednesday's 11-5 victory.

He got two hits and scored twice in the same inning as the Mets put nine runs on the board in the eighth frame. Cespedes' grand slam off reliever A.J. Cole capped off the inning and put the game out of reach. The Mets have one of the best records in baseball even though Cespedes hasn't hit much prior to today. He has a .217 batting average and a .280 on-base percentage. He has found a way to be useful though by generating 17 RBI already.

Zimmerman swats two longballs, drives in four

Ryan Zimmerman went 3-for-4 with two home runs, four RBI and three runs scored in Wednesday's loss to the Mets.

He clubbed a three-run bomb in the first inning, then popped a solo shot in the final frame. Unfortunately many of Zimmerman's fantasy owners had him on their benches for this game due to his brutally bad first three weeks of the season. Even after tonight's outburst he still has a paltry .161/.235/.371 triple slash with three homers and 10 RBI. Hopefully this excellent game marks the end of his slump.
