Maikel Garcia 3B | KC
Royals' Maikel Garcia: Set to be evaluated Monday
Garcia (hamstring) will be re-evaluated Monday, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.
Garcia suffered a right hamstring strain in Saturday's loss to the Rangers, and he was unavailable for Sunday's contest as a result. Manager Matt Quatraro provided an update Sunday, outing that the 26-year-old is "feeling better" and that the team is "not going to IL him right now." Garcia is expected to do some testing of his hamstring Monday, and Kansas City will see what direction it wants to go from there.

Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY
Yankees' Ryan McMahon: Idle against southpaw
McMahon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
McMahon is in the midst of one of his best stretches of the season, having gone 9-for-29 (.310 average) with three home runs, one stolen base, six RBI and five runs over his last eight games. The Yankees will hold him out of the starting nine Sunday with southpaw Jacob Lopez on the hill, but the left-handed-hitting McMahon should continue to receive regular at-bats against right-handed pitching while he's swinging a hot bat.

Royals' Maikel Garcia: No decision yet on IL stint
Garcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers as the Royals await test results on the right hamstring injury he suffered in Saturday's 7-6 loss, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Garcia sustained the injury in the seventh inning Saturday while running the bases and was immediately lifted. At this stage, the 26-year-old appears more likely than not to wind up on the IL, but the Royals are holding out hope that he's dealing with a low-grade strain that may cause him to miss just a few games.

Gage Workman 3B | DET
Tigers' Gage Workman: Returns to Triple-A
The Tigers optioned Workman to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.
Workman ended up being the roster casualty when Kerry Carpenter (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list Sunday. After being called up from Triple-A on May 10, Workman appeared in 16 games for Detroit but slashed just .158/.158/.553 with a 42.1 percent strikeout rate over 38 plate appearances.

Donovan Walton 3B | LAA
Angels' Donovan Walton: Idle against southpaw
Walton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.
The left-handed hitter had started four of the previous five games but will head to the bench against southpaw Shane McClanahan. Nick Madrigal will check in for Walton at third base and bat ninth.

Caleb Durbin 3B | BOS
Red Sox's Caleb Durbin: Makes third straight start
Durbin went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's 9-1 win over Cleveland.
Although the final score suggests this was an easy win, Durbin was a key contributor when the game was still close. His sacrifice fly in the fourth inning produced Boston's first run, and a run-scoring double in the eighth gave the team a 3-1 lead before the offense erupted for six runs in the final frame. This was Durbin's third consecutive start after it looked like his playing time was on the wane, and he's responded by hitting safely in all three starts (5-for-12) with three doubles and four RBI.

Coby Mayo 3B | BAL
Orioles' Coby Mayo: Hitting bench Sunday
Mayo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Mayo recently shook off a back injury and started the previous four games, going 4-for-12 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and four additional runs. Though he still looks to be the Orioles' preferred option at third base, Mayo will give way to Blaze Alexander at the hot corner in the series finale.

Colt Emerson 3B | SEA
Mariners' Colt Emerson: Clubs homer Saturday
Emerson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Diamondbacks.
This was Emerson's first homer since he logged his first career hit versus the White Sox on May 18. The infielder has displayed decent power so far with two homers and three doubles over hist first 12 big-league contests, and he's batting .237 with an .852 OPS, seven RBI, six runs scored and a triple.

Josh Jung 3B | TEX
Rangers' Josh Jung: Goes yard in three-hit day
Jung went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 7-6 win over the Royals.
The third baseman took Seth Lugo deep in the first inning, and his last hit of the afternoon came as part of Texas' three-run rally in the ninth inning to walk it off. It was Jung's seventh homer of the season and second in the last three games, and over 25 games in May he's batting .307 (31-for-101) with six RBI and 15 runs scored.

Amed Rosario 3B | NYY
Yankees' Amed Rosario: Placed on paternity list
The Yankees placed Rosario on the paternity list prior to Saturday's game against the Athletics.
Rosario can be away from the Yankees for up to three days while on the paternity list, meaning he'll likely be back for Tuesday's series opener against the Guardians. The veteran utility man has gone 9-for-31 (.290) with two home runs, seven RBI and six runs scored in 11 games since May 1.
