    Mets' Brett Baty: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Mets recalled Baty from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

    He's grabbing the roster spot vacated by Jesse Winker (oblique). Baty is behind Luisangel Acuna and Jeff McNeil in the pecking order at second base and behind Mark Vientos at third base. His best shot at playing time in the short term might be at designated hitter, although Starling Marte should be at the top of the depth chart there.

  • Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Doing light activities

    Fitzgerald (rib) is doing light activities and rehab work, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Fitzgerald suffered a left rib fracture in late April and finally landed on the 10-day injured list on May 1 after tests revealed the diagnosis. He is expected to be sidelined at least two weeks, but it's a good sign that he's already doing some activities.

  • Mets' Luisangel Acuna: Not starting Monday

    Acuna is not in the Mets' starting lineup against the Diamondbacks on Monday.

    Acuna played in both games of Sunday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, going 3-for-8 with one stolen base and one run scored. He'll get a breather Monday while Jeff McNeil starts at second base and bats eighth against Diamondbacks right-hander Ryne Nelson.

  • Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Out of Monday's lineup

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

    Rodgers will be in the dugout for the beginning of Monday's game while Mauricio Dubon starts at the keystone and bats ninth against Brewers right-hander Tobias Myers. Rodgers has gone 4-for-15 with two runs scored over his last four games.

  • Josh Rojas 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Josh Rojas: Sitting Monday

    Rojas is not in the White Sox's starting lineup against the Royals.

    Rojas started the season on the injured list due to a toe injury, but he made his 2025 debut against the Astros on Sunday and went 0-for-2 with a bases-loaded walk. With southpaw Cole Ragans taking the hill for the Royals on Monday, the lefty-hitting Rojas will begin the contest in the dugout while Miguel Vargas starts at third base and bats second.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Getting some rest Monday

    Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Turang will not be in Monday's lineup against the Astros as he continues to regain strength following an illness, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Turang played each of the previous four games after sitting out one contest last week because he was under the weather. He's evidently still not feeling quite 100 percent, however, so he'll get a breather for the series opener versus Houston. Turang will be available off the bench Monday and should be back in the lineup Tuesday.

  • Brett Baty 3B | NYM

    Mets' Brett Baty: Rejoining big club

    The Mets are expected to recall Baty from Triple-A Syracuse prior to Monday's game in Arizona, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.

    He'll be taking the roster spot of the injured Jesse Winker (oblique). Baty has been dealing with an injury himself lately, having not played since April 30 because of a sore right big toe. However, the toe issue evidently isn't serious enough to prevent a promotion of Baty, who went 3-for-10 with two doubles in three games with Syracuse. With Jeff McNeil back and Luisangel Acuna establishing himself as a regular presence in the Mets' lineup, Baty would appear destined for primarily a reserve role.

  • Edouard Julien 2B | MIN

    Twins' Edouard Julien: Sent down to minors

    The Twins optioned Julien to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday.

    Julien has been unable to find his footing this season, slashing only .198/.288/.319 across 104 plate appearances. With both Royce Lewis (hamstring) and Willi Castro (oblique) retuning from the 10-day injured list, Julien's playing time was set to drop significantly, so he'll head to St. Paul where he can see regular reps.

  • Willi Castro RF | CHC

    Twins' Willi Castro: Back from injured list

    The Twins activated Castro (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

    Castro hasn't played since mid-April because of the injury, but he will skip a rehab assignment and go right back onto the Twins' active roster. The super utility player will be in line for close to everyday playing time, likely alternating across multiple positions.

  • Brett Baty 3B | NYM

    Mets' Brett Baty: Dealing with toe issue

    Baty has yet to play a game in May for Triple-A Syracuse due to a sore right big toe, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    The injury will likely prevent Baty from being an option to re-join the big-league roster if Jesse Winker (side) lands on the IL. Baty went 3-for-10 with two doubles and three RBI in his first three games following his demotion to Syracuse before the toe issue cropped up.
