MLB Player News

White (groin) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

White has been on the injured list since the start of the year after undergoing surgery for a sports hernia in late March, and he'll be ineligible to return until at least early June. According to Divish, the 26-year-old is progressing in his recovery but hasn't been cleared to resume baseball activities.

Mountcastle (neck) remains on the bench Thursday against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Mountcastle was scratched Wednesday with a stiff neck and will sit for at least one more game. Cedric Mullins will rest his legs as the designated hitter while Trey Mancini starts at first base.

Dalbec went 0-for-3 with a sacrifice fly and an RBI in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Blue Jays.

While the Red Sox's bats begin to emerge, Dalbec is notable for a lack of production. The first baseman is batting .161 (10-for-62) with three RBI and is 2-for-20 with runners in scoring position. He and Travis Shaw (0-for-17) make for the league's least-productive first base tandem with a .382 OPS. When rosters are reduced beginning May 1, the Red Sox could make changes. Shaw is likely to be part of the roster reduction, but it will be interesting to see if the organization promotes prospect Triston Casas from Triple-A Worcester.

Vaughn went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and four RBI Wednesday against the Royals.

Vaughn did the majority of his damage on a three-run homer in the seventh inning, his fourth long ball of the season. Four frames earlier he had recorded an RBI double. Vaughn entered the game with at least one hit in three of his last four games, though this was his first multi-knock effort since April 13. Through 52 plate appearances, Vaughn is hitting .298/.365/.617, and he should be locked into near everyday playing time in the absence of Eloy Jimenez (hamstring).

Mountcastle was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Yankees with neck stiffness but could be available off the bench, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Mountcastle was originally penciled in at designated hitter, but the neck issue will prevent him from starting Wednesday. The injury doesn't appear to be a serious concern since he may be available off the bench, so the 24-year-old could be back in the lineup within a day or two.

Gurriel isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

Gurriel hit .333 with three doubles, four runs, three RBI and a stolen base over his last five appearances, and he'll get his first day off since April 10. J.J. Matijevic will make his first career start at first base.

Mountcastle was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees for an undisclosed reason, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

It's not clear whether Mountcastle is dealing with an injury, but he'll be excluded from the lineup after initially being listed as the designated hitter. Anthony Santander will now serve as the DH while Ryan McKenna enters the lineup in right field.

Arias has gone 2-for-18 with a home run and a walk in four starts for Triple-A Columbus since returning to the affiliate's lineup Saturday.

Arias was summoned from Triple-A to make his MLB debut last week, with Cleveland designating him as its 29th man for its April 20 doubleheader with the White Sox. He started in both ends of the twin bill, going 1-for-8 with two runs and an RBI.

Rizzo went 3-for-4 with three home runs, a walk, four runs scored and six RBI in a 12-8 win Tuesday over Baltimore.

Rizzo homered off Jordan Lyles in the third and fifth innings and capped off his career night with a long ball off lefty Alexander Wells in the eighth. It was the first three-homer game of his career. The first baseman now leads all of baseball with eight home runs, half of those coming in the last two contests. With a .283/.411/.733 batting line this year, Rizzo is looking more like the player that hit .284/.388/.513 from 2014 to 2019 than the one that hit .240/.343/.432 the last two seasons.

Naylor is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Angels.

Naylor has started against left-handed pitching twice previously this season but won't due so Tuesday with Patrick Sandoval pitching for the Halos. Oscar Mercado will man right field for Cleveland.
