    Twins' Royce Lewis: Placed on 10-day IL

    Lewis (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with a right knee bone bruise.

    After being recalled Sunday, Lewis suffered the knee injury while making a catch in the fourth inning and he will now be out for at least 10 days. The 22-year-old has produced a .300 average with two homers, four doubles, five RBI and five runs over 40 at-bats in 12 games with the Twins this season. Jose Miranda was called up from Triple-A St. Paul on Monday to take his spot on the 26-man roster.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Back in action

    Machado (elbow) will bat second and play third base Monday against the Cardinals.

    Machado missed the last two games with tennis elbow, but the Padres said he'd be able to return Monday and he will indeed do so. That's great news for San Diego, as he's hitting an excellent .357/.438/.583 on the year, adding eight homers and seven steals. Per Dennis Lin of The Athletic, Machado's quick recovery was the result of a cortisone shot having its desired effect.

  • Taylor Walls SS | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: Slugs second homer

    Walls went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk Sunday against the Yankees.

    Walls snapped a 58 at-bat stretch without an extra-base hit by smacking his second homer of the season. He's continued to get consistent playing time at third base with Brandon Lowe (back) sidelined but has hit just .096 with two RBI and five runs scored across his last 23 games. Walls' primary fantasy appeal comes from his speed, as he has managed five stolen bases while being caught once on the campaign.

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Phillies' Jean Segura: Swipes two bags

    Segura went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases in a 5-4 loss to the Mets on Sunday.

    Segura laced singles in the second and eighth innings and stole both second and third base following the latter. After logging only one theft in April, the 32-year-old has stolen seven bases in May to pull into a tie for 10th in MLB and is already one shy of his total from 2021. Segura's .281/.331/.419 slash line is nearly identical to his .285/.330/.410 marks for his career.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Records sixth steal

    Ramirez went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Tigers.

    Ramirez has notched three of his six stolen bases this year in his last six games. The third baseman saw his five-game hitting streak snapped Sunday, but he's had only two stretches this season with consecutive 0-fer performances. Overall, he's at a .292/.388/.634 slash line with 12 home runs, 48 RBI, 27 runs scored, 11 doubles and four triples in 43 contests.

  • Jake Burger 1B | TEX

    White Sox's Jake Burger: Delivers walk-off single

    Burger went 1-for-5 with a walk and an RBI on Sunday against the Cubs.

    Burger had an uninspiring performance until the 12th inning when he delivered a walk-off single. He has swung a hot bat since being recalled from Triple-A Charlotte May 24 by slugging two home runs, six RBI and scoring two runs across five games. Burger's at-bats are likely to dry up once Yoan Moncada (quadriceps) can return to the lineup, though he could see sporadic run at any of second base, third base or DH.

  • Evan Longoria 3B | ARI

    Giants' Evan Longoria: Homers again Sunday

    Longoria went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Reds.

    Longoria's eighth-inning blast gave the Giants their first lead in a game that didn't see them record a hit until the seventh inning. The third baseman's hitting streak is up to six games, a span in which he's hit all four of his homers this year while going 8-for-22 (.364). Overall, he's at a .240/.269/.520 slash line with 10 RBI, six runs scored and a pair of doubles in 15 contests.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Enters as pinch hitter

    Moncada (quadriceps) entered Sunday's game against the Cubs as a pinch hitter and grounded out in his only plate appearance.

    Moncada was out of the lineup for the third consecutive game Sunday, which led to some concern that he would need a stint on the injured list. While that remains a possibility, Moncada's appearance as a pinch hitter is a good sign for his potential availability to begin the team's series against Toronto on Tuesday.

  • Royce Lewis 1B | MIN

    Twins' Royce Lewis: Diagnosed with bone bruise

    Lewis was diagnosed with a bone bruise in his right knee Sunday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Manager Rocco Baldelli said Sunday that Lewis will "probably" require a trip to the injured list due to his knee issue, but it's encouraging that he's been diagnosed with a bone bruise rather than structural damage. The 22-year-old will be further evaluated by the team in the coming days once the swelling in his knee subsides.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Expected to return Monday

    Machado (elbow) is expected to return to the lineup Monday against the Cardinals, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

    Machado missed the last two games due to an elbow injury, but the Padres downplayed the severity of the issue. The 29-year-old should be back in action for Monday's series opener in St. Louis and will attempt to bounce back after he went just 2-for-13 with two runs, four walks and a strikeout over the four games prior to his absence.
