Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz (illness) was forced to make an early exit from Wednesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Kurtz appeared to have jammed his hand during the first inning of this contest. Luckily, that wasn't the reason for his departure. Instead, Kurtz was pulled out of the game due to illness. He was hitless in his lone plate appearance and was replaced by Jeff McNeil at first base. Fantasy managers should consider Kurtz as day-to-day. Hopefully, he'll be ready to go in time for next week's All-Star Game in Philadelphia. Fantasy managers should check back on Thursday for another update on his status.

Detroit Tigers catcher Dillon Dingler (hand) made an early exit from Wednesday's game against the Athletics. Dingler took a foul tip off his right thumb during the first inning of this contest. The Tigers decided to play it safe and pull Dingler out of the game for precautionary reasons. The expectation is that Dingler is headed for X-rays, so the team can rule out any significant injuries. The 27-year-old was named to the American League All-Star team recently, so hopefully he'll be ready to go for that. Jake Rogers took over behind the plate and figures to see a bulk of the time behind the plate while Dingler is down.

Miami Marlins outfielder Owen Caissie (calf) was forced to make an early exit from Wednesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Caissie was taken out in the second inning of this contest due to right calf tightness. He was pulled out of the contest before even coming up to the plate. Griffin Conine took over in right field and could see extra playing time out there over the next few days. The severity of the injury is unknown, so fantasy managers should consider Caissie as day-to-day. This season, Caissie is slashing .239/.297/.459 with 12 home runs, 50 RBI, and four steals in 79 games.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras (foot) was forced to make an early exit from Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Contreras fouled a ball off his foot during his at-bat in the third inning. He was able to finish out the plate appearance, but exited the game afterwards. The team is calling the injury a left foot contusion, so it appears he has avoided any fractures. Before exiting the game, Contreras was hitless in his two plate appearances. For the moment, fantasy managers should consider Contreras as day-to-day. It wouldn't be shocking if he sits out for a game or two, but he should avoid a trip to the Injured List. The 34-year-old recently accepted an invitation to compete in the upcoming Home Run Derby. He might decide to opt out of that event, but it depends on the progress he makes over the next few days.
