Ljay Newsome (elbow) will start a minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday with the Cardinals’ rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate.

Newsome, who is recovering from Tommy John elbow reconstructive surgery last year, was claimed off waivers from the Mariners during the offseason and set outright to Triple-A Memphis shortly afterwards. The 25-year-old righty has a shot at working his way into the Cardinals’ pitching mix later this year.

Zack Gelof was removed from Thursday night’s battle against the Tigers in the third inning after injuring his knee while crashing into the outfield wall.

Gelof made a terrific sliding catch running down the third base line, but slid into the side wall as he did and came up hobbling. He tried to walk it off and remain in the game but ultimately the decision was made to pull him. Gelof will head for further evaluation. Expect the A’s to provide an update on his status after the game.

Mets sent RHP Guillo Zuñiga outright to Triple-A Syracuse.

The 27-year-old hurler was designated for assignment earlier in the week but he passed through waivers unclaimed and will continue to operate as extra bullpen depth for the ballclub at the Triple-A level.

No word yet on the severity of the strain or how long Banks will be sidelined for. The 34-year-old southpaw holds a troublesome 7.14 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and a 32/13 K/BB ratio over 29 innings in 28 appearances with the Phillies this season.

Nick Kurtz (illness) returned to the Athletics’ starting lineup for Thursday’s series finale against the Tigers.

Kurtz was pulled from Wednesday’s game in the second inning after he threw up in the team’s dugout, which caused his removal. He’s back at first base and batting second for the A’s against Tigers’ left-hander Framber Valdez on Thursday evening in Detroit.

Jo Adell is not in the Angels’ starting lineup for Thursday’s divisional matchup against the Rangers in Arlington.

It appears to be nothing more than a routine night off for the 27-year-old slugger. Josh Lowe will slide over to cover right field while Wade Meckler starts in left and will bat seventh against Rangers’ veteran right-hander Nathan Eovaldi.

Christian Yelich is absent from the Brewers’ starting lineup for Thursday night’s tilt against the Cardinals.

The Brewers continue to mix in plenty of off days for their 34-year-old slugger to make sure that he stays healthy for the duration of the season. Jake Bauers will serve as the designated hitter in his place on Thursday while Andrew Vaughn draws a start at first base and will bat sixth against Cardinals’ right-hander Andre Pallante.

Dillon Dingler (hand) is not in the Tigers’ starting lineup for Thursday’s series finale against the Athletics.

The good news is that the All-Star backstop is not dealing with any fractures after being struck on the hand by a foul tip during Wednesday’s game. The Tigers did add an extra catcher to the roster on Thursday to help add depth behind the plate, but Dingler wasn’t placed on the injured list which is very encouraging. He’s considered day-to-day.

Tyler Soderstrom is not in the Athletics’ starting lineup for Thursday’s series finale against the Tigers.

The A’s appear to be easing Soderstrom back into action in his return from the injured list, so he’ll take a seat against Tigers’ southpaw Framber Valdez on Thursday evening in Motown. Nick Kurtz will function as the club’s designated hitter on Thursday while Jonah Heim draws a start at first base and will bat cleanup for the A’s.

Nationals placed LHP Brad Lord on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to July 6, with left side tightness.

The 26-year-old hurler was torched for six runs with two outs in the ninth inning on Tuesday against the Phillies and he appears to have injured more than his ERA in the process. He’ll miss at least a week on both sides of the All-Star break as he recovers from the side issue. A corresponding move will be made prior to Friday’s contest.
