Are the babies drawing the balls to them?!

Julio Urias will take two more turns as a starter for the Dodgers before the team decides whether to lift the teenager from the rotation in order to limit his innings.

The Dodgers quickly signed first-round pick Gavin Lux to a $2.317 million bonus on Thursday, one week after selecting the Wisconsin high school shortstop with the 20th overall pick in the 2016 MLB Draft.

Max Muncy hasn’t had many opportunities at the Major League level, but his ninth-inning double in Thursday’s 5-1 loss to the Rangers helped the A’s avoid being on the wrong side of history.

James McCann used to have the challenge of catching Brett Eibner’s power fastball at the University of Arkansas. On Thursday, he had the challenge of coming up with a game plan for how to pitch to the Royals’ rookie sensation, now an outfielder, who just returned from the disabled list.

Left fielder Starling Marte left the Pirates’ game against the Mets in the bottom of the fifth inning Wednesday at Citi Field after getting struck in the face by the ball on a hop after a line-drive single from Yoenis Cespedes.

Chris Lincecum met his son at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport on Jan. 25. He thought he’d stay for five or six weeks, tops, but it wound up being 18. Tim Lincecum was nearly five months removed from hip surgery and was ready to resume throwing. So he called on Chris, the man who constructed and groomed his distinctive delivery, and their work ensued throughout the state of Arizona.

Derek Law took a grip on honesty and threw a high, hard one at himself. “Honestly, I don’t think I ever thanked him enough for what he’s done,” said Law, a rookie reliever with the Giants. Derek was referring to the man who sparked his baseball career — his father, Joe. Told of his son’s remark, Joe responded as most parents would: selflessly.

The Astros announced Thursday they had signed seven more players who were taken in the 2016 MLB Draft, including fourth-round pick Brett Adcock, a left-handed pitcher from Michigan, and sixth-round pick Stephen Wrenn, an outfielder from Georgia.

Rangers starter Colby Lewis came within three outs of a no-hitter in pitching his team to a 5-1 victory over the Athletics on Thursday afternoon at the Coliseum. The no-hit bid ended on a leadoff double in the ninth by Max Muncy as right fielder Nomar Mazara could not make a tough catch at the wall.

The Tigers regained the full-game services of Victor Martinez, who returned to Detroit’s starting lineup on Thursday for the first time since tweaking his right knee on Sunday. However, they have a new injury concern with center fielder Cameron Maybin, who was out of the lineup for the second time in three days.

Left-handed pitching prospect Cody Reed nearly won a job in the Reds’ rotation out of Spring Training. Erring on the side of developmental caution, the Reds’ No. 3 prospect (No. 60 overall) began the year in Triple-A, his first taste of competition above the Double-A level. After 11 starts, the Reds decided they’d seen enough development and summoned the southpaw to make his Major League debut Saturday in Houston.

The White Sox have agreed to terms with third-round pick Alex Call, according to a source.

On Thursday, Domenick Doane stepped into the batting cage in the Joey Votto Training Center at the P&G Cincinnati MLB Urban Youth Academy. Behind the L-screen throwing pitches was former Major Leaguer Ty Waller.

As Aaron Hicks returned to his former workplace on Thursday afternoon, the outfielder paced through the corridors of Target Field and prepared a quip for a question he knew would eventually be posed.

After Orioles right-hander Darren O’Day was placed on the 15-day DL on June 3 due to a right hamstring strain, he expected his recovery to be on the speedier side. But almost two weeks later, a timetable for the reliever’s return is unclear.

The Cardinals agreed to terms with three more 2016 MLB Draft picks Thursday, including fifth-round selection Walker Robbins. St. Louis also added three undrafted free agents.
