Stott went 2-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base during Monday's 2-1 win over Colorado.

Stott reached three times in four plate appearances Monday, producing his first multi-hit game since March 30 (14 games). Stott's pilfer came in the third frame off Cal Quantrill, marking the second baseman's third steal of the campaign. While he hasn't put up monstrous performances this season, Stott has logged a hit in six consecutive starts with merely nine strikeouts and seven walks over 60 total plate appearances.

Rodgers was scratched from the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

The reasoning for Rodgers' removal from the Rockies' lineup is not yet clear. Alan Trejo replaced him at second base and will bat ninth.

Trejo is starting at second base and batting ninth for Monday's game against the Phillies.

Brendan Rodgers was initially slated to start Monday, but was a late scratch with Trejo taking his place. Trejo is 0-for-6 with one strikeout to start the season.

Edman (wrist) was scheduled to begin taking dry swings Monday and is expected to advance to tee work Tuesday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

His recovery from offseason surgery on his right wrist has put Edman on the shelf to begin the 2024 campaign, but he recently received clearance to begin ramping up his activity. While he's still in the early stages, Edman will at least start taking some cuts and making contact with baseballs beginning Tuesday. The 28-year-old should play close to every day for St. Louis once healthy after exceeding 500 plate appearances each of the last three years.

Royals manager Matt Quatraro said Monday that Massey (back) will travel with Triple-A Omaha this week as part of his rehab assignment, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Massey started the season on the 10-day IL after experiencing lower-back tightness late in spring training. Quatraro noted that he wants Massey to get in a few more games and at-bats to ensure the 26-year-old is 100 percent healthy before returning to the Royals. Massey has appeared in five games with Triple-A Omaha, slashing .409/.458/.636 with five doubles and six RBI over 24 plate appearances.

Remillard was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte by the White Sox on Monday.

Remillard was up with the big club for just a few days and picked up one hit in five at-bats. He'll go back to filling a utility role at Charlotte.

Julien will start at second base and bat ninth in Monday's game in Baltimore.

Julien has now made two straight starts against left-handers and has been in the lineup for all but two games this season. It might not be the case if the Twins weren't missing Royce Lewis (quad) and/or Carlos Correa (intercostal), but for now Julien looks like an everyday player rather than a strong-side platoon option.

Bae (hip) was activated from the 10-day injured list by the Pirates on Sunday and optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Bae is done with his rehab from a left hip flexor injury, but the Pirates have elected to keep him at Indianapolis rather than add him to the major-league roster. He should be back to fill a utility role with the big club eventually.

Valdez (thumb) will start at second base and bat seventh in Monday's game versus the Guardians.

Valdez didn't play Sunday after exiting Saturday's contest with a bruised left thumb, although he might not have been in the lineup, anyway, since they were facing a lefty. Either way, he's back in there Monday against Xzavion Curry and the Guardians.

Polanco went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Sunday's loss to the Cubs.

Polanco's two-run blast in the sixth were the only runs and the only extra-base hit the Mariners were able to muster up on the afternoon. Polanco now has two long balls on the year which also happen to be his only extra-base hits on the season so far. He's gotten off to a sluggish start with his new ballclub, slashing .196/.318/.304 with five RBI, three runs scored and a 9:22 BB:K in 66 plate appearances.
