Henry will likely be one of the first arms up for Arizona when they need help in the form of a multi-inning southpaw. Kessinger also has a chance to earn time as a utility option.

Massey was lifted for precautionary reasons after hitting his head when he fell down after making a great throw on the run to retire Nathan Lukes in the fifth inning. He finished 0-for-2 with a walk at the plate. He should be considered day-to-day for now.

Jobe gave up four hits, walked three and struck out four. The 24-year-old right-hander has had four starts since coming off the injured list and allowed one run or less in three of them. Jobe hasn’t completed more than five innings in any of his starts and was removed after 4 1/3 innings Tuesday. He has a 3.93 ERA. Jobe is lined up to face the Twins on the road next week.

Story has hit .160 (4-for-25) in seven rehab games since mid-August. There’s a decent chance he’s back as Boston’s shortstop at some point in the coming days. He would be an upgrade from a defensive standpoint, but it doesn’t seem like he’s going to offer much at the plate down the home stretch.

Kiner-Falefa is expected to stay in Triple-A Worcester until rosters expand next week to prevent the Red Sox from having to make a challenging decision in a roster crunch. The 31-year-old has been out with forearm inflammation since late June.

He’s ready. Anthony demolished a no-doubter to right-center field in the seventh inning just a few hours after telling reporters that he thinks there’s a chance he’s back from the injured list for Friday’s series opener against the Yankees. The 22-year-old’s return would provide a definite spark for the Red Sox as they make their playoff push in the closing months of the season.

It’ll be his first game action since hitting the injured list with a knee issue last week. Lovullo reaffirmed that Marte remains on track to return from the injured list when first eligible for Monday’s series opener against the Phillies.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Gallen was sitting in the low-to-mid 90’s with his fastball. He figures to make at least one traditional minor league rehab start since he isn’t eligible to come off the 60-day injured list until September 7. He’s been out with elbow inflammation since early July.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that Burnes was up to 93 mph in the abbreviated outing and could make an appearance for Triple-A Reno, or somewhere else due to the recent wildfires in the area, later this week. The 31-year-old former ace could potentially continue building up his stamina and pitch count in the majors during the final month of the season, which means that fantasy managers shouldn’t anticipate a ton of volume.

It didn’t take Wynns very long to find a new opportunity after being designated for assignment by the Rangers last week. The 35-year-old journeyman backstop has appeared in 34 games between the Athletics, Braves and Rangers this season. He’s merely emergency organizational depth at this stage of his career.
