Montes was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Yandy Diaz was placed on the restricted list in a corresponding move, and the Rays are already undermanned, so Montes could get some playing time in the short term. The 28-year-old utility player slashed .279/.340/.384 with one home run, three steals and a 23.4 percent strikeout rate in 22 games at Triple-A.

McLain will start at second base and bat eighth in Tuesday's game versus the White Sox.

McLain had occupied either the second spot (28 times) or leadoff spot (three times) in his first 31 starts this season, but with a .596 OPS and 31.7 percent strikeout rate, he's earned a trip to the lower third of the Reds' batting order. Santiago Espinal has been elevated to the two hole for Cincinnati.

Fitzgerald (rib) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Fitzgerald will play second base and bat leadoff for the River Cats after missing the last couple weeks with a left rib fracture. He shouldn't require too many rehab games before being activated, potentially setting Fitzgerald up for a return later this week if all goes well.

Single-A Fort Myers activated Pena (undisclosed) from the 7-day injured list May 6.

The undersized second baseman missed a little over two weeks with the undisclosed injury and has hit .417 with one double, one strikeout and one caught stealing in four games since getting activated. On the season, Pena is hitting .308 with one home run, two steals, a 7.0 percent strikeout rate and a 2.3 percent walk rate in 43 plate appearances. Pena has hit 52.8 percent of balls on the ground and 45.9 percent to the opposite field, which is a recipe for a high batting average and minimal power.

DeBarge did not suffer a serious injury after getting hit by a pitch in the wrist and should be able to return this week, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports. He hasn't played for High-A Cedar Rapids since suffering the injury Thursday.

DeBarge is having a potential breakout season at High-A by hitting .279/.409/.468 with four home runs and 16 stolen bases in 28 games. Hopefully this injury won't be a significant setback.

The Nationals placed Garcia on the paternity list Tuesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Garcia will likely miss the remainder of the Nationals' series in Atlanta before rejoining the team Friday in Baltimore. Trey Lipscomb has taken Garcia's roster spot and Amed Rosario will likely handle second base while Garcia is away.

Schneemann started at second base and went 0-for-3 in Monday's 5-0 win over the Brewers.

Schneemann's hot bat since the beginning of May generated more plate appearances for him, and shortstop Brayan Rocchio's demotion to the minors Monday opened up a regular gig. Gabriel Arias will cover short, while Schneemann gets regular starts at second base. Since May 1, Schneemann has a 1.101 OPS with three home runs, two doubles, eight RBI and eight runs scored over 10 contests.

Tawa is expected to see most of his opportunities in the outfield moving forward after the Diamondbacks called up infielder Jordan Lawlar from Triple-A Reno on Monday, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

Tawa remained on the roster following Lawlar's promotion, with Arizona instead designating infielder/outfielder Garrett Hampson for assignment. Tawa had filled in at second base when Ketel Marte was on the injured list earlier this season and had served as a utility infielder since Marte's return. Lawlar will now step in as the club's top utility infielder while Tawa transitions to an outfield role, which will include occasional action in center field. He made one start in left field for the Diamondbacks this season and 26 across the outfield in 2024 while in the minors. He could serve as the right-handed batting complement to Alek Thomas in center field.

Massey went 1-for-4 with a solo homer, a walk and an additional run scored in Monday's 7-5 win against the Astros.

The Kansas City second baseman took Houston starter Ryan Gusto deep in the second inning to open the game's scoring. Massey has finally shown signs of life over his last 10 games, batting .275 (11-for-40) with two homers, four RBI and three runs scored. Across 146 total plate appearances, the 27-year-old is slashing .213/.234/.294 with 13 RBI and 8 runs scored.

Arias went 2-for-4 with a three-run double in Monday's win over the Brewers.

Arias opened the game's scoring with a bases-clearing double in the fourth inning. He has multiple hits in four of his last 12 games but has gone hitless in the other eight. Despite the recent inconsistency, Arias owns a solid .271/.324/.426 slash line with 12 extra-base hits and 19 RBI through 39 contests.
