    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Dealing with side issue

    Chisholm (side) exited Tuesday's contest against the Orioles with right flank discomfort, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Chisholm experienced some side discomfort while at the plate in the first inning, ultimately leaving the game after ripping a triple in his only at-bat of the day. The second baseman is apparently dealing with a right flank issue, which refers to the area between the ribs and hip. An exact diagnosis of his injury will likely come in the near future.

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Departs game in first inning

    Chisholm left Tuesday's game against the Orioles in the top of the first inning, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Chisholm needed to have a trainer check on what appeared to be his side during the middle of his first-inning at-bat. The second baseman not only continued the at-bat, he tripled with a slide into third. However, after the slide, Oswald Peraza came in to run for him.

  • Dylan Moore LF | PHI

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Placed on IL with hip inflammation

    The Mariners placed Moore on the 10-day injured list with right hip inflammation.

    It's another blow to the Mariners' infield depth after Ryan Bliss suffered a torn biceps earlier in April. It's unclear when Moore suffered the injury, but it doesn't sound like a long-term issue. Moore has been one of Seattle's top hitters this season, slashing .286/.346/.557 with six home runs, nine RBI, 16 runs scored and five stolen bases. Leo Rivas and Miles Mastrobuoni are candidates to see more playing time for the Mariners.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Out against left-hander

    Holliday is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Yankees.

    The left-handed-hitting Holliday will grab a seat as the Yankees send lefty Carlos Rodon to the bump. Jorge Mateo is at second base and batting eighth for the Orioles.

  • Mauricio Dubon 2B | ATL

    Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Splitting time at second base

    Dubon went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Monday against the Tigers.

    Dubon began the season in a clear bench role, though his playing time has started to tick up at second base. Houston has shifted its order around in an effort to jump-start its offense, with Dubon starting four of the team's last eight games -- splitting evenly with Brendan Rodgers. The split of time hasn't been predictable by matchup, and one of Rodgers or Dubon is likely to emerge as the primary option based on performance.

  • Willi Castro LF | COL

    Twins' Willi Castro: Resumes baseball activities

    Castro (oblique) worked out Monday and could be activated from the injured list when eligible Thursday, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

    Castro will hit from the left side, which was hindered by his oblique injury, on Tuesday. If all goes well the Twins will then figure out his next course of action but it sounds like he may not need to go on a rehab assignment. He originally strained his right oblique on April 16.

  • Edouard Julien 2B | COL

    Twins' Edouard Julien: Pops leadoff homer

    Julien went 1-for-5 with a solo homer and a walk in Monday's 11-1 victory over the Guardians.

    The Minnesota second baseman hit the game's first pitch out of the park, launching it 403 feet to center off starter Gavin Williams. Julien has been hitting leadoff in a strong-side platoon lately and should get plenty of run while Luke Keaschall (forearm) is on the injured list. Across 92 plate appearances, Julien is slashing .213/.304/.350 with two homers, eight runs scored and eight RBI.

  • Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Losing work at second base

    Rodgers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.

    Rodgers' time as the Astros' primary second baseman may be over, as he'll take a seat for the third time in four games while he's mustered a weak .602 OPS through his first 57 plate appearances of the season. Mauricio Dubon will cover the keystone Monday, but the Astros could move Jose Altuve back to the infield on a more permanent basis if the club decides to phase Rodgers out while opening up more playing time in the outfield for Zach Dezenzo and/or Chas McCormick.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Back on bench Monday

    Schneemann is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

    Schneemann will hit the bench after he had picked up starts -- two at second base and one in left field -- in each of the last three contests. The 28-year-old owns a .715 OPS over 49 plate appearances on the season, and while he doesn't appear to have a grasp on a full-time role, he should remain in line for a handful of starts per week against right-handed pitching due to his ability to play multiple infield and outfield spots.

  • Josh Rojas 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Josh Rojas: Cleared for rehab assignment

    Rojas (toe) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    Rojas' progress from a hairline fracture in his right big toe has been slow, but he's finally come along far enough to be cleared to participate in game action for the first time since suffering the injury in mid-March. The 30-year-old had been expected to serve as Chicago's primary second baseman before getting hurt and could still end up filling that role when activated from the injured list, but he offers the versatility to play multiple positions, if needed.
