  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Getting breather Monday

    LeMahieu is not in the Yankees' starting lineup against the Angels on Monday.

    LeMahieu will begin Monday's game in the dugout after going 3-for-11 with one run and one RBI during the Yankees' weekend series against the Rockies. Jorbit Vivas will shift over to second base while Oswald Peraza gets the start in the hot corner.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Rehab assignment pending

    Gimenez (quadriceps) could be cleared to begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Dunedin on Wednesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Gimenez has been participating in full baseball activities and resumed running last week, and with his strained right quad apparently responding well, he's on the brink of beginning a rehab assignment. The second baseman likely won't need much more than a couple of rehab games before being reinstated from the 10-day injured list.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Idle Monday

    Edman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

    Edman will get an off day for Monday's series opener against Cleveland. Hyeseong Kim will bat ninth and play second base. Since being activated from the injured list May 18, Edman is 3-for-23 (.130) at the plate.

  • Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Goes deep Sunday

    Cronenworth went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double Sunday in a 5-3 victory versus Atlanta.

    Cronenworth came up with a clutch homer in the seventh inning, going deep to right field to break a 3-3 tie. The long ball was his first in his past 13 games and his fourth of the campaign. Since returning May 9 from a month-long stint on the injured list, Cronenworth has slashed .250/.373/.479 with two homers, six RBI, six runs, a stolen base and a 9:12 BB:K.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Sitting against Crochet

    Turang is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

    The Brewers are stacking their lineup with eight right-handed bats along with the switch-hitting Isaac Collins to counter Boston lefty Garrett Crochet. Turang, who is batting just .195/.295/.273 so far this month, gives way to Andruw Monasterio at second base.

  • Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL

    Braves' Ozzie Albies: Hit streak goes to 11

    Albies went 2-for-2 with a walk, two doubles, a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's loss to the Padres.

    The second baseman delivered multiple extra-base hits in a contest for the first time this season as he extended his hitting streak to 11 games. Albies is slashing .366/.435/.463 during his surge with four doubles, four RBI and six runs, but he remains mired in a 20-game homer drought. He's had a rough start to the season overall, but the return of Ronald Acuna might help light a fire under Albies and Atlanta's other slumbering hitters.

  • Matt McLain SS | CIN

    Reds' Matt McLain: Logs steal in loss

    McLain went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 11-8 loss to the Cubs.

    McLain's hit safely in three straight games and stole his 11th base of the season, showing some value above a line of .184/.287/.319. His season-opening slump prompted manager Terry Francona to drop him from second in the batting order to the lower third, from where McLain's hit .238 over the last 12 games. A .217 expected batting average indicates McLain's experienced bad luck along the way.

  • Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: May not be far from rehab stint

    Chisholm (oblique) could be cleared to begin a minor-league rehab assignment during the upcoming week, MLB.com reports.

    Chisholm is nearly four weeks removed from suffering a right oblique strain. If the infielder is able to embark on a rehab stint soon, he could return to the Yankees at the early end of his original 4-to-6-week return estimate. Chisholm began hitting against high-velocity pitching over the weekend, and it's uncertain if he will first get in some live batting-practice reps before starting a rehab assignment. Per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com, Chisholm's rehab stint could last just one or two days.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | KC

    Pirates' Adam Frazier: Powers offense in loss

    Frazier went 3-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Brewers.

    Frazier entered the series with a .200/.273/.300 slash line through 18 games in May, but he came alive during the four-game set versus Milwaukee. The 33-year-old went 7-for-14 with three walks during the series, and he temporarily gave the Pirates a 5-3 lead Sunday with run-scoring hits in the sixth and seventh innings. Frazier has started the past six games as he continues to fill the strong side of a platoon at second base for Pittsburgh.

  • Otto Lopez SS | MIA

    Marlins' Otto Lopez: Swipes fifth bag

    Lopez went 1-for-4 with a steal and a run scored in Sunday's 3-0 victory over the Angels.

    The 26-year-old drew his fourth consecutive start at shortstop and stole second off Los Angeles starter Kyle Hendricks in the fourth. After popping a homer in his return from an ankle injury May 18, Lopez has been cold, batting .167 (3-for-18) across five games, though he has notched a pair of steals. Through 145 total plate appearances, Lopez is slashing .221/.297/.328 with three homers, 18 runs scored and 15 RBI while going 5-for-7 on steal attempts.
