Cronenworth was removed from Tuesday's game against the Athletics due to an apparent leg injury, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Cronenworth didn't even attempt to run to first base on his third-inning groundout, instead doubling over in pain while grabbing at his leg. He was eventually able to walk off the field under his own power, but the Padres will presumably take a closer look at him to see if he suffered any severe damage.

The Reds placed McLain (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a left hamstring strain.

McLain was reportedly available off the bench Monday, but the Reds will instead err on the side of caution and give him more time to recover while on the injured list. He hasn't played since Saturday, so he'll be eligible to return from the IL in a week. While he's out, Santiago Espinal could benefit from increased playing time at second base, or the Reds could move Gavin Lux to the keystone from left field.

Gimenez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

After starting the first 11 games of the season and clubbing three early homers, Gimenez will hit the bench Tuesday while mired in a 1-for-13 slump across the past four contests. Davis Schneider will take over at second base and bat sixth in his place.

Manager Carlos Mendoza said Tuesday that McNeil (oblique) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment later this week, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The 33-year-old has been ramping up his rehab program and is nearly ready to see game action. McNeil suffered the low-grade oblique strain in mid-March and could make his season debut for the Mets within the next couple weeks.

Castro is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

Castro has started and finished all 10 games to open the season, but he's getting a breather Tuesday against lefty Cole Ragans. Mickey Gasper will make the start at second base and bat ninth. Castro is slashing .235/.333/.441 with four doubles, one home run, four RBI, four runs scored and one stolen base across 39 plate appearances in the early going this season.

Gimenez went 0-for-2 with two walks, an RBI, two runs scored and two stolen bases in Monday's win over the Red Sox.

The 26-year-old infielder has been flashing surprising power in the early going this season, but speed remains an important part of his skill set. Gimenez stole exactly 30 bags in each of the prior two seasons with the Guardians, and he's 3-for-4 on steal attempts through 11 games to begin his stint as a Blue Jay.

Torres (oblique) might not need a rehab assignment before being activated from the 10-day injured list, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Torres has been ramping up his hitting, and if he continues to progress on schedule, he might be ready for activation when first eligible Friday. The second baseman has been sidelined since late March with a left oblique strain that initially cropped up toward the end of spring training.

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

Montes slashed .184/.244/.316during a cup of coffee with the Rockies in 2023 and was added to the Rays' 40-man roster in late March. He'll serve as a reserve infielder for Tampa Bay.

McNeil (oblique) is traveling to Florida to ramp up his rehab program and still hopes to be activated before the end of April, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

McNeil had been rehabbing in New York, but he's headed to warmer temperatures as he accelerates his program, which includes taking batting practice on the field Tuesday for the first time since his oblique injury. The Mets haven't provided word yet regarding when he might be ready for a rehab assignment, but it shouldn't be long. McNeil will take over as the Mets' primary second baseman once he's cleared to return from the 10-day injured list.

Hamilton started at second base and went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Blue Jays.

Hamilton filled in for Kristian Campbell, who received his first day off of the season after starting the first 10 games, including both ends of Sunday's doubleheader. The stolen base was the second of the season for Hamilton, who is 1-for-14 with five strikeouts through six games played.
