  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Grand slam in win

    Devers went 2-for-4 with a grand slam, a double, a walk and two runs in the win over the Braves on Tuesday.

    Devers launched a Kyle Wright four-seam fastball 432 feet for a grand slam in the top of the second inning, giving the Red Sox a 6-0 lead. He later added a double in the fourth frame and walked and scored in the ninth. The homer was his fifth of the season and his first in a week. He has reached base in 15 consecutive games, notching a hit in 14 of those contests, raising his batting average from .266 to .315 in the process. Devers' slash line now sits at .315/.346/.508 with five homers, 15 RBI and 18 runs in 124 at-bats over 30 games in 2022.

  • Ramon Urias 3B | STL

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Battling abdominal issues

    Urias was held out of Tuesday's lineup against the Cardinals due to abdominal discomfort, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    The 27-year-old was scheduled to start Tuesday until feeling the abdominal discomfort during batting practice. Urias will be re-evaluated Wednesday and should be considered day-to-day.

  • Tigers' Jeimer Candelario: Records three hits in Game 1

    Candelario went 3-for-5 with a double and three RBI in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Athletics.

    Candelario followed that up with an 0-for-4 effort in the second game, but fantasy managers will welcome the three hits in one day. It's in fact the first three-hit game of the season for the third baseman, who's struggled a bit with a .206 batting average for the year. Candelario is batting .289 this month, however.

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Scratched from Tuesday's lineup

    Urias was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Cardinals for unspecified reasons, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

    Urias was slated to start at second base but was instead scratched shortly before first pitch. He should be considered day-to-day for now while Chris Owings steps in at the keystone.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Named Double-A Player of the Week

    Henderson was named the Eastern League Player of the Week with Double-A Bowie, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Henderson went 9-for-17 (.529) with a home run, four RBI, five runs scored and four stolen bases in his last five games. He's now slashing .309/.459/.506 through 25 games at the Double-A level this season, which bodes well for his chances of moving up to Triple-A Norfolk some time in the summer.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Reaches base three times in return

    Moncada went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a walk Monday against the Guardians.

    Moncada made his season debut after being sidelined for the first month by an oblique injury. He was hit by a pitch in his first plate appearance and scored his first run of the campaign on a wild pitch. He subsequently added a single and a free pass to reach base three times. Moncada hit second in the White Sox lineup and is projected to remain there consistently to begin his campaign.

  • Taylor Walls SS | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: On bench Monday

    Walls isn't starting Monday against the Angels, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

    Walls has gone 0-for-15 with a run, a walk and eight strikeouts over his last four games, and he'll be out of the lineup for the second time in the last three matchups. Yandy Diaz will shift to third base while Brett Phillips enters the lineup in right field.

  • Abraham Toro 1B | BOS

    Mariners' Abraham Toro: Launches game-tying homer

    Toro went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in an extra-inning win over the Rays on Sunday.

    Toro's game-tying solo homer in the ninth inning off Andrew Kittredge knotted the game at 1-1, setting the table for an eventual Ty France game-winning RBI single in the 10th. Toro has made quite the impact while drawing back-to-back starts, as he also launched a solo shot in Saturday's loss.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Makes return from IL

    The White Sox reinstated Moncada (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Chicago has yet to unveil its lineup ahead of Monday's series opener against the Guardians, but manager Tony La Russa said Sunday that Moncada would slot in as the White Sox's No. 2 hitter in his 2022 debut, per Daryl Van Schouwen. Moncada was given the green light to rejoin the White Sox following a productive six-game rehab assignment at Triple-A Charlotte in which he slashed .318/.360/.636 with two home runs and a double.

  • Jake Burger 1B | TEX

    White Sox's Jake Burger: Optioned to Triple-A

    Burger was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Burger was moved to Triple-A as a result of Yoan Moncada (oblique) returning from the 10-day injured list Monday. The 26-year-old has produced a .239/.276/.352 slash line with two homers and seven RBI over 71 at-bats with the White Sox this season. It is likely he will return to the big-league club again at some point this summer.
