  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Pops homer in win

    Torres went 3-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Monday's win over Boston.

    Torres set the tone for Detroit's 14-run outburst with his two-run shot in the first inning. He later knocked an RBI single and came around to score in the third. Torres has collected multiple hits in five of his last 14 games, going 18-for-51 (.352) during that span. He's slashing .304/.375/.482 with 10 extra-base hits and 24 RBI through 29 games this season.

  • Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Could begin rehab games Tuesday

    Fitzgerald (rib) could begin a rehab assignment as soon as Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Fitzgerald appears to be progressing well as he works his way back from a left rib fracture, which he suffered in late April. The second baseman shouldn't need too many rehab games before being activated, so a return within the next week or so seems likely if he is indeed able to start his rehab assignment Tuesday.

  • Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Not starting Monday

    Rodgers is not in the Astros' starting lineup against the Royals on Monday.

    Rodgers will be on the bench to begin Monday's game while Jose Altuve starts at second base and bats second. Rodgers has reached base safely in nine straight games, but over that span he has slashed just .229/.270/.343 with six runs, one home run, three RBI and a 37.8 percent strikeout rate.

  • Jorbit Vivas 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jorbit Vivas: Sitting Monday

    Vivas is not in the Yankees' starting lineup against the Mariners on Monday.

    Vivas will begin Monday's game on the bench while Oswald Peraza starts at second base and bats ninth. Since being recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on May 2, Vivas has gone 3-for-19 with three runs scored, three RBI and a 30.4 percent strikeout rate. He'll likely see his playing time diminish once DJ LeMahieu (calf) -- who is with the Yankees in Seattle -- returns from the 10-day injured list.

  • Liover Peguero SS | PIT

    Pirates' Liover Peguero: Headed back to Triple-A

    The Pirates optioned Peguero to Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday.

    He'll give up his spot on the Pirates' 26-man roster to infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa (hamstring), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. After being called up from Triple-A on May 2, Peguero appeared in four games for Pittsburgh and went 2-for-9 with three strikeouts.

  • Diamondbacks' Garrett Hampson: Booted off 40-man roster

    The Diamondbacks designated Hampson for assignment Monday.

    Hampson will lose his spot on the Arizona roster with the Diamondbacks calling up top prospect Jordan Lawlar from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move. After attending spring training with the Diamondbacks as a non-roster invitee, Hampson was able to secure a utility role with the big club heading into Opening Day. He saw limited action over the first month and a half of the season, appearing in 18 games and slashing .167/.359/.167 with two steals across 41 plate appearances. Hampson's speed and defensive versatility could entice another team to put in a waiver claim for him and bring him aboard as a bench bat.

  • Ronny Mauricio 2B | NYM

    Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Rehabbing at Double-A

    Mauricio (knee) moved his rehab assignment to Double-A Binghamton on Saturday and has gone 1-for-6 with a double and an RBI in his first two games with the affiliate.

    The 24-year-old infielder received the starting nod at third base Saturday before shifting to designated hitter Sunday. Mauricio is still trying to find his timing at the plate -- through seven games between Binghamton and Single-A St. Lucie, he's gone just 3-for-21 with a walk and six strikeouts -- but he has plenty of rust to shake off given that he didn't play at all in 2024 while recovering from multiple surgeries on his right knee. He's expected to be an option for the Mets over the summer, but with Jeff McNeil healthy and the likes of Brett Baty and Luisangel Acuna making contributions at the big-league level, there's no obvious spot for Mauricio right now on the 26-man roster. Once his 20-day rehab window closes and the Mets have to activate him from the 10-day injured list, Mauricio is likely to be optioned to Triple-A Syracuse.

  • Tim Tawa 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: MLB window may close

    Tawa could be a candidate to return to the minors with the Diamondbacks expected to promote top prospect Jordan Lawlar from Triple-A Reno on Monday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Lawlar has seen action at second base, shortstop and third base at Reno this season, but the Diamondbacks already have reliable incumbents on hand at those respective positions in Ketel Marte, Geraldo Perdomo and Eugenio Suarez. Piecoro's report suggests that the Diamondbacks envision Lawler filling a utility role and playing three to four times per week, which would render Tawa a redundant piece on the roster. Tawa remained with the big club after Marte was reinstated from the injured list May 2 but has appeared in six of the Diamondbacks' ensuing 10 games while going 3-for-14 with one walk, two steals, one RBI and one run.

  • Bryson Stott 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryson Stott: Records eighth steal

    Stott went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Guardians.

    Stott went 0-for-8 with a walk and two strikeouts to begin this weekend's interleague series, but he was able to knock a hit in the series finale. The second baseman is now batting .262 with a .721 OPS, three home runs, 20 RBI, 22 runs scored, eight steals, five doubles and two triples over 37 contests. He continues to serve as the Phillies' preferred leadoff hitter versus right-handed pitchers.

  • Dylan Moore 2B | TEX

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Homers for lone run in loss

    Moore went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

    Moore is 4-for-15 with a homer, two stolen bases and three RBI over four games since he returned from a hip strain. The utility player has been one of the Mariners' strongest hitters so far this season, racking up seven homers, 12 RBI, 18 runs scored, seven steals and a .282/.330/.553 slash line through 27 contests. He's already over halfway to matching his career high in homers, which was in 2021 when he slugged 12 long balls in 126 games.
