Derek Hill left Wednesday’s game against the Nationals with a trainer.

Hill was down for several minutes being attended to by Philadelphia’s training staff following a hard collision with the center-field wall attempting to rob CJ Abrams of an extra-base hit. The positive news is that he was able to get to his feet and walk off under his own power. There should be an update on his status following the contest.
Colby Thomas

PHI Right Fielder #32

Phillies acquired OF Colby Thomas from the Athletics for RHP Seth Johnson.

This unexpected swap came in right at the buzzer. Thomas winds up in Philadelphia, where he figures to get a chance at some point in the final two months, after being shipped to the minors last weekend. The 25-year-old former top prospect hit just .202/.235/.333 with four homers and one steal in 121 plate appearances for the Athletics this season.
Colby Thomas

ATH Right Fielder #32

Athletics optioned OF Colby Thomas to Triple-A Las Vegas.

The Athletics had plenty of outfield depth on their major league roster and wanted to add an extra infielder instead for their weekend series against the Tigers so Thomas gets the boot. The 25-year-old has hit just .202/.235/.333 with four homers, 11 RBI and a 37/4 K/BB ratio in 121 plate appearances with the A’s this season.
Colby Thomas

ATH Right Fielder #32

Colby Thomas (wrist) is in the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Red Sox.

Thomas returned to the Athletics’ lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Twins after missing four games with a left wrist bruise. The 25-year-old former prospect is in left field and hitting cleanup against Boston rookie lefty Peyton Tolle on Monday night in West Sacramento.
Colby Thomas

ATH Right Fielder #32

Colby Thomas (wrist) remains out of the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Twins.

There’s been zero indication that Thomas is headed to the injured list despite sitting for the fourth consecutive game. The 25-year-old was diagnosed with a left wrist contusion after being hit by a pitch earlier this week. He remains day-to-day for the moment.
Colby Thomas

ATH Right Fielder #32

Colby Thomas (wrist) is out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Diamondbacks.

Thomas was diagnosed with a left wrist contusion after being hit by a pitch during Monday’s series opener against Arizona. He’s day-to-day for now. It’ll be Lawrence Butler in right field in his absence.
Colby Thomas

ATH Right Fielder #32

Colby Thomas was diagnosed with a left wrist contusion after leaving Monday’s game following a HBP.

Thomas is day-to-day. The D-backs are throwing another lefty on Tuesday, so Thomas would be in line to start. However, if he can’t go, Lawrence Butler will probably play right field.
Colby Thomas

ATH Right Fielder #32

Colby Thomas was removed from Monday’s game against the Diamondbacks after being hit by a pitch.

Lawrence Butler took over for Thomas in right field to open the fourth inning after he was hit by a pitch on the left hand area earlier in the contest. He’ll head for X-rays to determine whether he suffered any fractures.
Justin Crawford

PHI Center Fielder #91

Justin Crawford (knee) is not in the Phillies’ starting lineup for Sunday’s first half finale against the Tigers.

It’s the third straight game that Crawford has missed due to soreness in his left knee. Even if he were healthy though, it’s likely that he would have sat against Tigers’ left-hander Tarik Skubal on Sunday, especially with Derek Hill terrorizing his former club through the first two games of the series. Hill will start in center field and bat eighth for the Phillies on Sunday afternoon in Motown.
Justin Crawford

PHI Center Fielder #91

Justin Crawford (knee) remains out of the lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Tigers.

Derek Hill makes his second straight start in center field while Crawford receives some extra time off to address left knee soreness. The 22-year-old rookie has hit .263/.312/.353 with two homers and 12 steals in 287 plate appearances through 88 games.

Joc Pederson was ejected from Monday’s game against the White Sox.

Pederson walked and struck out in a pair of plate appearances before being tossed by home plate umpire Chris Guccione in the second inning. He appeared to be voicing his displeasure from the dugout after not being allowed to challenge a called third strike earlier in the frame when he was given the boot.

Diamondbacks optioned LHP Mitch Bratt to Triple-A Reno.

Bratt heads back to the minors after allowing three runs over just three innings in his latest start against the Reds over the weekend. The 23-year-old rookie southpaw has posted a pedestrian 4.54 ERA and 25/28 K/BB ratio across 39 2/3 innings in his big-league debut.

Twins manager Derek Shelton said Joe Ryan (glute) will face hitters in a live batting practice session on Wednesday.

Ryan remains without a definitive return timeline, but Shelton added that he’ll require a rehab assignment before returning to Minnesota’s rotation. The 30-year-old ace has been out with a glute strain that put him on the injured list earlier this month. It sounds like there’s optimism he’ll make it back at some point in September.

He’s been a complete non-factor at the plate this season, hitting .081 (3-for-37) with one homer and four steals in 23 games. He’ll occupy a spot on the bench for now.

Giants recalled RHP Ryan Walker from Triple-A Sacramento.

Walker gets another shot with San Francisco after struggling in his previous go-around. The 30-year-old former closer is likely ticketed for middle relief work for now. He’s struggled to a bloated 7.52 ERA across 26 1/3 innings of work at the highest level this season.

Giants recalled INF/OF Shay Whitcomb from Triple-A Sacramento.

Whitcomb receives his first opportunity with San Francisco after being claimed off waivers from the Astros earlier this month. The 27-year-old has flashed an interesting power/speed skillset in the upper minors for the last couple years, but was never able to parlay that into a permanent role in Houston.
