Yusei Kikuchi was pulled from his start on Wednesday with an injury in the third inning.

Kikuchi came out to warm up in the third inning, but he didn’t throw a pitch before the trainer came out, and the two left the field together. Kikuchi had thrown two scoreless innings, allowing two hits and walking one on the day. Mitch Farris is in the game to replace him and could also replace him in the starting rotation if Kikuchi has to go on the injured list.

Astros recalled INF Raynel Delgado from Triple-A Sugar Land.

Delgado joins the Astros on Sunday to add some infield depth with both Christian Walker and Jeremy Pena banged up. He’s unlikely to see enough action to gain any sort of relevance from a fantasy perspective. Nate Pearson was designated for assignment in a corresponding move to clear a spot on the Astros’ active roster.

HOU Starting Pitcher #55

Astros designated RHP Nate Pearson for assignment.

The 29-year-old right-hander pitched decently in 16 appearances for the Astros this season, posting a 3.60 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and a 16/12 K/BB ratio over 20 innings. He flashed enough during that stretch that he could generate some interest on waivers from bullpen-needy clubs.

MIL Starting Pitcher #52

Kyle Harrison (forearm) threw a bullpen session on Saturday without any issues.

Harrison underwent a precautionary MRI recently that came back clean for any structural issues. The last hurdle for him to clear before returning from the injured list will be to face live hitters. He’s eligible to return from the injured list on Friday, though it may be optimistic to expect him back the first day that he’s eligible.

Royals activated RHP Stephen Kolek from the family medical emergency list; placed him on the 15-day injured list with a right flexor strain.

Kolek had been away from the team since July 4 due to a family medical emergency — the second time he had been placed on the list this season. He’s now dealing with an elbow issue and will have as much time away from the club as he needs.

Otto Lopez is not in the Marlins’ starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s matchup against the Brewers.

There doesn’t appear to be any sort of injury situation going on there, it’s just a routine day off for the 27-year-old infielder. Javier Sanoja will start at shortstop in his place while Leo Jimenez starts at third base and will bat sixth for the Fish against Brewers’ left-hander Robert Gasser.

Marlins optioned OF Rece Hinds to Triple-A Jacksonville.

The Marlins wanted to add an extra infielder to their roster on Sunday and unfortunately Hinds got the boot to make room. He appeared in just one game during his time with the team, going hitless in two at-bats including a strikeout. He’ll continue to serve as extra outfield depth at the Triple-A level.

Marlins recalled INF Graham Pauley from Triple-A Jacksonville.

Pauley has struggled during his time with the Marlins this season, hitting just .176 (16-for-91) with one homer, 11 RBI and a stolen base in 36 games. He can continue to be ignored for fantasy purposes. Rece Hinds was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move to clear a spot on the club’s active roster.
