  • Connor Norby 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Connor Norby: Out of lineup Tuesday

    Norby is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Pittsburgh.

    It's a routine day off for Norby, who had started at third base in each of the Marlins' last five games. Javier Sanoja will be at the hot corner and bat ninth Tuesday.

  • Mark Vientos DH | NYM

    Mets' Mark Vientos: Back to baseball activities

    Vientos (hamstring) said Tuesday that he's back to jogging and hitting, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    The 25-year-old landed on the injured list last week with a low-grade hamstring strain and was initially expected to return to baseball work after 10-to-14 days, but it appears he's a bit ahead of schedule in his rehab work. Vientos could be looking at a shorter absence than first anticipated, though at this point he's without an official timeline for his return.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Giants' Matt Chapman: Lands on injured list

    The Giants placed Chapman on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to right hand inflammation, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Chapman had X-rays come back negative after suffering the hand injury Sunday against Atlanta, but the inflammation will still sideline him for at least the next week and a half. The veteran third baseman will be eligible to be reinstated June 19. Casey Schmitt is likely to step in at third base for San Francisco in the meantime.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Stays hot with three hits

    Riley went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Brewers.

    The third baseman has a history of heating up with the weather, and Riley has reeled off four multi-hit performances over the last five games to fuel a .323/.364/.548 slash line over the last 15 contests. The 28-year-old also has a 3:17 BB:K over that stretch however, continuing a trend that has seen him post his worst plate-discipline rates on the season (6.3 percent walk rate, 27.4 percent strikeout rate) since his rookie campaign in 2019.

  • Orioles' Emmanuel Rivera: Designated for assignment

    The Orioles designated Rivera for assignment Tuesday.

    Rivera was already being used sparingly and his playing time was set to be cut even more with Jordan Westburg (hamstring) back in the fold. The 28-year-old has been outrighted previously, so he has the ability to elect free agency if he clears waivers again.

  • Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Reinstated from injured list

    The Orioles activated Westburg from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    Westburg is finally ready to rejoin the Orioles' lineup after being sidelined since late April with a left hamstring strain. He looked sharp in eight rehab games with Triple-A Norfolk, going 11-for-28 with a pair of home runs. Westburg will regain his status as the Orioles' everyday third baseman.

  • Noelvi Marte 3B | CIN

    Reds' Noelvi Marte: Begins hitting soft toss

    Marte (oblique) began hitting from soft tosses in a batting cage Friday, MLB.com reports.

    Marte is at the Reds' complex in Goodyear (Ariz.) working his way back from an oblique injury that landed him on the 10-day injured list in late April. The report doesn't give an estimated return date other that sometime in June. Presumably, Marte will go out on a rehab assignment before rejoining Cincinnati.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Pair of knocks in win

    Bohm went 2-for-5 in Monday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Cubs.

    Although Bohm saw his 10-game hitting streak come to an end on May 30, he's maintained healthy production in the past few weeks. Over his last 20 outings, the 28-year-old infielder is hitting. 305 (25-for-82) with three homers, three doubles, eight RBI and nine runs scored. Bohm has hit either third or fourth in Philadelphia's batting order nine times in his last 12 contests, and he should continue to bat in those positions while Bryce Harper (wrist) is on the injured list.

  • Gio Urshela 3B | ATH

    Athletics' Gio Urshela: Starting rehab stint soon

    Urshela (hamstring) is expected to be sent out on a minor-league rehab assignment later in the week, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Urshela, who was placed on the 10-day injured list May 23 due to a left hamstring strain, is set to begin a rehab stint with Triple-A Las Vegas. It's been just over two weeks since his last game action, so he should only need a handful of at-bats in the minors before the team feels comfortable activating him.

  • Kyle Karros 3B | COL

    Rockies' Kyle Karros: Returns to Double-A lineup

    Karros (undisclosed) has gone 3-for-15 with two RBI, four runs and one stolen base in six games since being activated from Double-A Hartford's 7-day injured list last Tuesday.

    Karros is off to a slow start at the dish since returning from an unspecified injury, but he was firing on all cylinders prior to landing on the IL. The 22-year-old is hitting .312 with two home runs and five stolen bases in 28 games for Hartford on the season.
