Kansas City Royals LHP Ryan Yarbrough (head) is scheduled to meet with a doctor Thursday, June 8, to check on his recovery. He is expected to start light baseball activity once he clears the concussion protocol.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell has been recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday. The 24-year-old is a former first round pick of the Angels from the 2017 Amateur Draft. Last season, Adell hit .224/.264/.373 with eight home runs and 27 RBI in 88 games with the Angels. He has been on fire in the minors, which has resulted in his call up. He's slashing .278/.365/.593 with 18 home runs and 43 RBI in 55 games in Triple-A this season. Adell is well worth a look in deep leagues given his power output in the minors so far. In a corresponding move, outfielder Hunter Renfroe has been placed on the paternity leave list.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Christopher Morel remains out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The 23-year-old will miss his second game in a row after going 2-for-29 over his last 10 games. Despite his recent struggles, Morel is still slashing .256/.318/.641 with nine home runs and 15 RBI in 21 games with the Cubs. Mike Tauchman will cover center field and bat fifth versus right-hander Jaime Barria on Wednesday.

Toronto Blue Jays C Danny Jansen (groin) could start a rehab assignment with Class AAA Buffalo as early as Friday, June 9, and could rejoin the team Tuesday, June 13, if he does not suffer any setbacks.

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Trevor May was called upon to shut the door versus the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday. At first, it wasn't a save situation, but Ken Waldichuk got into some trouble in the ninth. May was asked to come in with two on and a run already in, making it a save situation. He gave up a single to the first batter he faced, but settled down after that. May got the next two batters out, which resulted in his first save of the season. He's allowed one run over his 7 2/3 innings of work so far this season. He appears to be the clear favorite for saves in Oakland.

Pittsburgh Pirates INF Chris Owings was outrighted to Class AAA Indianapolis Wednesday, June 7.

Washington Nationals RHP Andres Machado was outrighted to Class AAA Rochester Wednesday, June 7.

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia is absent from the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This appears to be a routine rest day for the veteran outfielder. He has been reliable this season, slashing .273/.331/.515 with 15 home runs and 52 RBI in 58 games this season. Robbie Grossman will cover right field and bat seventh versus right-hander Jack Flaherty. Fantasy managers should expect Garcia to be back in the lineup after this game.

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe (back) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday. The organization announced on Wednesday that Lowe has been shut down from baseball activities for 2-3 weeks. It sounds like the Rays are going to give Lowe plenty of time to recover from his disc issue in his back. The organization hasn't given a timetable for Lowe, but the expectation is that he'll likely be out until closer to the All-Star break.

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames (concussion) has been activated from the 7-day concussion injured list on Wednesday. He returns to the field after a brief absence after getting hit in the head by a foul ball in late May. The 27-year-old is slashing .205/.292/.384 with nine home runs and 27 RBI in 51 games this season. He's at shortstop and batting second against right-hander Dean Kremer on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should make sure to get Adames back in their lineup for this one.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (groin) remains out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Washington Nationals. This marks the third game in a row that Gurriel has missed due to groin tightness. The organization is calling it a day-to-day issue, so he'll avoid for injured list for the moment. However, fantasy managers should key an eye on his status as it could change on Thursday.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley (wrist) has been scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Los Angeles Dodgers with a right wrist contusion. Fraley was hit by a pitch in Tuesday's contest and he's still feeling the effects on Wednesday. Will Benson is taking his place in right field and batting leadoff against Noah Syndergaard and the Dodgers. It sounds like Fraley is just a little sore so hopefully a day off is all that he needs. He can be considered day-to-day for now and fantasy managers should keep an eye on his availability for Thursday's series finale against Los Angeles.

Tampa Bay Rays INF Brandon Lowe (back) will not participate in baseball activities for two to three weeks because the team hopes rest will help him recover.

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Gunnar Henderson (back) is back in the team's starting lineup on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Brewers and right-hander Corbin Burnes. Henderson is starting at third base and is batting sixth in the lineup. The 21-year-old infielder left Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants prematurely with lower-back discomfort and has missed the O's last three games as a result. However, he'll be back in there on Wednesday and should continue to be part of the club's everyday lineup moving forward despite hitting just .201 (32-for-159) on the season with seven doubles, two triples, six home runs, 15 RBI and 29 runs scored in 52 games. Henderson has been in even more of a rut at the plate of late, too, going 3-for-21 (.143) with a homer, four RBI and eight strikeouts in his last seven contests.

Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena is getting a day of rest on Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Pena could use a day off after going 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to Toronto. It was Pena's second hitless game of the month, but he's otherwise gone 6-for-25 (.240) with a double, two walks and nine strikeouts to begin June in six contests. In his second major-league campaign, the 25-year-old Dominican shortstop is batting .250 (58-for-232) with 14 doubles, a triple, eight home runs, 26 RBI, six stolen bases and 35 runs scored in 253 plate appearances and 60 games. Mauricio Dubon is starting at the 6 and hitting leadoff on Wednesday against Jays right-hander Chris Bassitt. Dubon has earned plenty of playing time in 2023 by hitting .294 (55-for-187) with two homers, 11 RBI and three steals.
