Maikel Garcia left Kansas City’s game against the Athletics on Thursday with a left hamstring injury.

He pulled up rounding third base and gingerly walked off the field with the trainer and manager Matt Quatraro, grabbing at his hamstring. Garcia has been no stranger to the injured list this year and it looks like this might lead to another placement there. The Royals should have an update on his status in the near future.

Athletics claimed OF Johnathan Rodríguez off waivers from the Pirates; optioned him to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Rodríguez was traded from the Guardians to the Orioles this offseason, DFAed by the Orioles and dealt to the Pirates for cash, and now DFAed by the Pirates and claimed by the Athletics. The 26-year-old has a .287/.381/.415 Triple-A line between Norfolk and Indianapolis. He’ll get to boost that in the comfy confines of Las Vegas.

Phillies transferred LF Felix Reyes from the 7-day injured list to the 60-day injured list with a right wrist fracture.

The 25-year-old was a brief Phillies lineup solution in May and had recently gone on the IL at Triple-A Lehigh Valley; this move clears a 40-man spot for new waiver claim Andrew Hoffmann. It seems likely Reyes’ season is over.

MLB.com’s Martín Gallegos reports the Athletics will send Jacob Wilson (shoulder) to the injured list and that is season is likely over.

Wilson has missed five of the last six games while dealing with a shoulder injury that will likely require offseason surgery. With the A’s going nowhere, this move makes plenty of sense — might as well get the rehab started early. Wilson hit .266/.298/.388 in 80 games this year while dealing with the injury.

Cal Raleigh is not in Seattle’s starting lineup for Thursday’s game against the Brewers.

Raleigh has three hits in his last 34 at bats in what has been one of the most disappointing follow-up seasons in baseball history. He’s still walking, but that won’t help most fantasy managers. Jhonny Pereda will grab the start against LHP Robert Gasser today.
