Jazz Chisholm Jr. Departs Early After Fouling a Ball Off his Groin
New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (groin) was pulled from Thursday's contest against the Chicago White Sox in the fourth inning after fouling a ball off his groin area, according to Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. Chisholm fell to the ground and was eventually removed from the game after a trainer came out to check on him. Before leaving early, Chisholm went 0-for-1 at the plate in the Bronx in the series finale against the Pale Hose. He was replaced at second base by Jose Caballerlo, who moved over from shortstop. We should know more about the 28-year-old's status shortly, but for now, we'll consider him day-to-day. Chisholm came into Thursday's contest with a weak .229 batting average (57-for-249) and .317 on-base percentage, but he's also one of just a few players in the league already with 10 home runs and 20 stolen bases in his first 69 games played. He's also added 30 RBI and 37 runs scored in his 284 plate appearances and is rostered in 99% of Yahoo leagues as the top fantasy second baseman.

Adley Rutschman Leaves Early Thursday After Being Hit in the Head
Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman (head) was hit in the side of the helmet by an errant throw while trying to beat out a groundball on the infield with one out in the ninth inning in Thursday's 3-0 loss in Seattle to the Mariners, according to Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun. Rutschman was noticeably shaken up and left the game with a trainer, likely to be checked for a concussion. The 28-year-old switch-hitting backstop went 0-for-4 at the plate on the day with two strikeouts to drop his season average to .254 and his OPS to .787. At the very least, Rutschman most likely won't be in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener in Los Angeles against the Dodgers, and if he has a concussion, he'll likely land on the seven-day injured list. The good news for the O's is that they have a more than capable catcher already on the roster in Samuel Basallo to pick up the slack if Rutschman misses extended time. Rutschman is universally rostered in fantasy for his power and run production at the weak position of catcher. He came into Thursday's series finale at T-Mobile Park with a .259/.335/.467 slash line, eight homers, 40 RBI, and 26 runs scored in 197 at-bats.

Trea Turner Leaves Game After Being Hit by Pitch in First Inning
Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner (calf) left Thursday night's game against the division-rival New York Mets early at Citizens Bank Park after he was hit by a pitch in his right calf in the bottom of the first inning, according to Paul Casella of MLB.com. It's the second time this week that Turner left early after being hit by a pitch. Turner initially stayed in the game after being hit and came around to score in the first frame, but he was eventually replaced at the 6 by Edmundo Sosa. The severity of the 32-year-old three-time All-Star's injury is unknown as of right now, but we'll consider him day-to-day until we know more. The fact that Turner stayed in the game initially leads us to believe that he should be alright. In his 12th year in the big leagues, Turner has shown signs of decline at the plate, as he entered Thursday's clash with the Mets with a .223/.274/.334 slash line, career-low .608 OPS, seven home runs, 21 RBI, 15 stolen bases, and 42 runs scored in 72 contests over 318 plate appearances. If Turner is forced to the injured list, Sosa would take over as the Phillies' starting shortstop.

Jose Soriano Scratched From Start on Thursday With Chest Injury
Los Angeles Angels right-hander Jose Soriano (chest) has been scratched from his scheduled start in Sacramento on Thursday night against the division-rival Athletics due to a chest injury, according to MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger. Ryan Johnson was called up from Double-A Rocket City to make the start against the A's in Soriano's place. The 27-year-old Soriano complained of chest and leg injuries during his last start on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Rays, and he apparently still isn't feeling great. It's unclear at this time if Soriano's injuries are serious enough to send him to the injured list. Fantasy managers will want to check back later on Thursday night or early on Friday for more information on his status. The Dominican hurler has gone 8-4 with a 2.79 ERA (3.88 FIP) and 1.23 WHIP with 92 strikeouts and a league-high 42 walks in 87 innings across his 15 starts in 2026 in his fourth year in the majors. Soriano was nearly unhittable in the first month-plus of the season, but he has come back to Earth in his last eight starts since May 4, posting a 4.67 ERA (4.88 FIP), 43 strikeouts, and 26 walks in 44 1/3 frames. His sell-high window has closed quickly.
