Pablo Reyes RF | SD
Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Exits 40-man roster
The Red Sox designated Reyes for assignment Monday.
Boston needed to clear a spot on their 26-man active roster and 40-man roster for first baseman/designated hitter Garrett Cooper, and Reyes ended up being the casualty. Reyes slashed a solid .287/.339/.377 for Boston last season but has managed just a .183/.234/.217 batting line over 61 plate appearances in 2024. Teams are always looking for versatile players, so even with his poor start, Reyes could draw some interest via trade or waivers.

Josh Rojas 3B | KC
Mariners' Josh Rojas: Smacks leadoff home run
Rojas went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Rojas slid into the leadoff spot after J.P. Crawford (oblique) was placed on the IL before the weekend. He responded with home runs Friday and Sunday with Sunday's being his very first at-bat of the game off Brandon Pfaadt. Since April 15, Rojas has at least a hit in 10 of 11 games and is off to a productive first month of the season. He's slashing .297/.366/.516 with three homers, six RBI, 10 runs and a 7:12 BB:K in 71 plate appearances.

J.D. Davis 1B | LAA
Athletics' J.D. Davis: Plays in rehab game Sunday
Davis (thigh/groin) started at designated hitter for Triple-A Las Vegas against Sacramento on Sunday and went 1-for-4 with a double and a run.
Davis was given the green light to suit up Sunday after partaking in baseball activities with the Aviators on Saturday. Having apparently gotten through Sunday's contest without any issues, Davis is now slated to rejoin Oakland on Monday, when a decision on whether he'll need more rehab games or if he's ready for activation will be made.

Junior Caminero 3B | TB
Rays' Junior Caminero: Blasts two homers with Durham
Caminero went 4-for-5 with a double, two home runs and three RBI on Sunday with Triple-A Durham.
Caminero was sidelined for two weeks early in the season with a quad injury. In nine games since, he's gone 11-for-36 with seven extra-base hits while striking out at a 23.1 percent clip. The Rays have had a mediocre lineup, and Jonathan Aranda (finger) is nearing a return, but Caminero should still make his way to Tampa Bay at some point in the current campaign.

Alex Bregman 3B | CHC
Astros' Alex Bregman: Shaking off cold stretch
Bregman went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored Sunday against Colorado.
Bregman has an ugly .216 average in 108 plate appearances to start the season. He's shown small signs of turning things around at the plate, as he has at least one hit in three of his last four games. More concerning is that Bregman has just a .052 ISO to go along with two barrels in 81 batted-ball events.

Ramon Urias 3B | STL
Orioles' Ramon Urias: Goes deep Sunday
Urias went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Athletics.
Urias started two of the Orioles' three games against the A's, as playing time has opened up in the infield following Jackson Holliday's demotion to Triple-A Norfolk. The homer was Urias' first of the season, though that's in part due to his limited usage for much of the season. The utility infielder is slashing .186/.205/.279 with three RBI, five runs scored and a double over 44 plate appearances on the year. Urias, Jordan Westburg (illness) and Jorge Mateo will likely combine to cover second base and third base moving forward.

Jose Miranda 3B | MIN
Twins' Jose Miranda: Doubles twice in win
Miranda went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI in Sunday's victory over the Angels.
Miranda opened the game's scoring with an RBI single in the fourth inning. He later drove in Minnesota's 11th and final run of the game with an RBI double in the eighth. Miranda has collected multiple hits in three straight games, going 7-for-13 (.538) with four extra-base hits in the process. His slash line is up to .292/.320/.500 through 16 games.

Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU
Rays' Isaac Paredes: Launches homer in loss
Paredes went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the White Sox.
Paredes took Erick Fedde deep for a solo shot in the top of the fourth, giving Tampa Bay an early 1-0 lead. He later singled and came around to score in the top of the ninth on a double from Harold Ramirez. The homer was the 25-year-old's seventh of the season and second in his last five games. Since April 14, Paredes has batted .314 with three home runs, seven RBI and seven runs scored over 51 at-bats in 13 games.

Jordan Westburg 2B | BAL
Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Sits with illness
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Westburg wasn't available for Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Athletics due to a stomach bug, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
The illness brought an end to a streak of 16 straight starts for Westburg, who has a .304/.360/.543 slash line through 25 games this season. The 25-year-old should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener versus the Yankees.

Miguel Sano 3B | LAA
Angels' Miguel Sano: Not in Sunday's lineup
Sano (knee) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.
Sano is dealing with inflammation in his left knee and will sit Sunday for the second straight game, and he also exited Wednesday's and Friday's contests due to soreness. Mike Trout will receive a turn at designated hitter while Aaron Hicks starts in center field.
