  • Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA

    Angels' Anthony Rendon: Resuming baseball activities

    Rendon (hamstring) will resume baseball activities this week, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Rendon has been shelved since late April with a partial left hamstring tear but is finally ready to begin ramping up his rehab work. It's going to be a slow process and one that will involve a rehab assignment at some point, so Rendon still figures to be several weeks away from a return.

  • Matt Vierling CF | DET

    Tigers' Matt Vierling: Getting rest Monday

    Vierling is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

    Vierling will get a breather for the series opener, despite being one of the hottest hitters in the Detroit lineup at the moment. While starting each of the last seven games, Vierling recorded at least one hit and produced a .438/.455/.906 slash line overall. The 27-year-old should have a hold on a near-everyday role while he's sizzling at the plate, but his absence from the lineup Monday will open up a spot in the outfield for Akil Baddoo.

  • Ryan Kreidler SS | MIN

    Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: Taken off IL

    Kreidler (finger) was activated off the 7-day injured list Monday and will rejoin Triple-A Toledo, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

    Kreidler was placed on the injured list April 7 due to a fractured right index finger. He began his rehab assignment with Single-A Lakeland on May 22, going 2-for-20 with 11 strikeouts over seven games.

  • Tigers' Justyn-Henry Malloy: Added to roster, in lineup Monday

    The Tigers selected Malloy's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Monday. He'll start at designated hitter and will bat sixth Monday against the Rangers in his MLB debut.

    The 24-year-old has slashed .253/.410/.473 with six home runs and three stolen bases over 195 plate appearances this season with Toledo. Malloy has made a full-time move to the outfield in 2024 after previously spending some time at the infield corners. The right-handed batter should receive at least semi-regular starts between the corner outfield and DH.

  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Homers, triples in losing effort

    Devers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a triple, two RBI and a walk Sunday against the Tigers.

    Devers' third-inning triple plated a run, while his solo blast in the eighth knotted the game at four and set the stage for extra innings. It was the second triple and 11th homer of the season for Devers, who entered the game in a mini 1-for-10 slump since accumulating four hits against the Orioles on Tuesday. It was also the first dinger for Devers since hitting a homer in six consecutive games from May 15-20.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Bat remains hot

    Bregman went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Twins.

    Bregman is starting to heat up, collecting his fourth homer in six games along with adding his fifth multi-hit effort over the last eight. Sunday's performance lifted Bregman's slash line to .229/.287/.395 while during this recent eight-game run he's batting 12-for-32 (.375) with four homers, seven RBI and five runs scored.

  • Jose Miranda 3B | MIN

    Twins' Jose Miranda: Homers, doubles in game-winner

    Miranda went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Astros.

    Miranda collected his 10th multi-hit game of the season, homering in the sixth to knot the game at three, then adding a go-ahead RBI double in the eighth that served as the game-winner for the Twins. After struggling to a .211 average in 40 games last season, Miranda has fared much better this season, posting a slash line of .280/.311/.469 with six homers, nine doubles, 20 RBI and 19 runs through 151 plate appearances.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Moving into reserve role

    Cabrera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Since DJ LeMahieu returned from the injured list Tuesday to make his season debut, Cabrera has unsurprisingly been the odd man out of the New York lineup more often than not. He's made just two starts in the six games since LeMahieu's return and appears set to fill a utility role moving forward after holding down the fort at third base for much of the past two months.

  • Jon Berti 3B | CHC

    Yankees' Jon Berti: Likely out 6-to-8 weeks

    Berti (calf) is wearing a walking boot and isn't expected to be able to return from the 10-day injured list for 6-to-8 weeks, MLB.com reports.

    Berti was injured while running out of the batter's box during a game May 24 and was subsequently diagnosed with a high-grade left calf strain. He landed on the IL the following day and received a platelet-rich plasma injection May 28. DJ LeMahieu came off the injured list four days after Berti went down and has reclaimed the primary third base role for the Yankees.

  • Gabriel Arias 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Garners fifth straight start

    Arias will start at third base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Nationals.

    Arias will stick in the lineup for a fifth consecutive game, this time filling in at third base while Jose Ramirez gets a day out of the field and serves as Cleveland's designated hitter. In addition to the hot corner, Arias picked up starts at second base, shortstop and in right field over the previous four games. The Guardians faced left-handed starters in three of those contests, and though Arias should be a fixture in the lineup versus lefties, he'll likely serve as more of a part-time player when Cleveland opposes righties.
