Jason Vosler 3B | SEA
Giants' Jason Vosler: Swipes bag in win
Vosler went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 5-2 win over Arizona.
The 27-year-old was intentionally walked with two outs in the fifth inning, then stole second base. He added a double in the second. Vosler is slashing only .195/.250/.488, but he's provided three home runs, four RBI, seven runs scored and two stolen bases across 44 plate appearances. He's likely to split time with Wilmer Flores at third base while Evan Longoria (shoulder) is on the mend.

Reds' Eugenio Suarez: Back to shortstop soon
Suarez will move back to shortstop when Mike Moustakas (heel) returns from the IL later this week, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Suarez has been back at third base while Moustakas has been out, and that makes the Reds' infield defense better, but the team wants to keep Jonathan India's bat in the lineup, so Suarez will move back to shortstop.

Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA
Angels' Anthony Rendon: Exits Monday with triceps injury
Angels manager Joe Maddon said after Monday's 8-5 loss to the Athletics that Rendon was removed in the seventh inning after he "felt something in his triceps" when he made a diving play at third base, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Rendon went 1-for-3 with a base hit before being replaced at third base by Kean Wong. The injury in question occurred in the fifth, when he was unable to get a glove on Chad Pinder's liner down the third-base line that went for a double. Maddon admitted that the Angels are unsure about the severity of Rendon's injury, so the 31-year-old will presumably be reevaluated Tuesday before the team provides an update on his status.

Patrick Wisdom 3B | SEA
Cubs' Patrick Wisdom: Clubs ninth homer
Wisdom went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Mets.
The 29-year-old continues to demonstrate that the power he showed in the minors can play in the majors as well. Wisdom has gone yard nine times in 20 games since being called up in late May, although his overall .333/.390/.870 slash line is unsustainable, considering his 35.6 percent strikeout rate and .375 BABIP.

Rafael Devers 1B | SF
Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Delivers game-winning hit
Devers went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's victory over the Blue Jays.
Devers came through in the clutch in the bottom of the ninth inning, singling home the game-winning run after Toronto pulled even in the top half of the frame. The 24-year-old is slashing .276/.340/.552 with 15 homers, 50 RBI and three stolen bases through 63 contests so far this year.

Kevin Newman 3B | LAA
Pirates' Kevin Newman: Cranks second homer
Newman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's loss to Washington.
Newman put the Pirates on the board in the second inning with a solo homer over the fence in left, but the Nationals would rally to come away with a 3-2 victory. The 27-year-old's struggles at the dish have continued into the first half of June, as he's now 7-for-33 with three RBI and a stolen base through 11 contests.

Brian Anderson RF | ATL
Marlins' Brian Anderson: Shifts to 60-day IL
Anderson (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
The move comes shortly after it was revealed the 28-year-old has yet to resume hitting as previously expected, and he now won't be able to be activated until at least late July. Anderson landed on the shelf May 25 with a left shoulder subluxation and will end up missing two months dues to the injury, at minimum. Isan Diaz should continue operating as Miami's third baseman in the meantime.
-
Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN
Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Part of Monday's lineup
Hayes will bat second and start at third base Monday against the Nationals.
Hayes, who is 3-for-6 against Monday starter Jon Lester, has at least one hit in each of the 11 games he's started and finished in 2021. He holds a slash line of .302/.362/.605 with three homers in 47 plate appearances, picking up where he left off after an impressive 2020 showing. Perhaps most importantly, the 24-year-old hasn't reported any recurrence of the wrist injury that forced him to the 60-day injured list earlier in the season.

Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU
Tigers' Isaac Paredes: Sent back to Triple-A
Paredes was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Monday.
The 22-year-old was promoted from Triple-A last week and went 3-for-21 with a home run, two RBI and two runs in six appearances during his brief time with the team. Paredes could rejoin the Tigers later in the season when the team requires infield depth.

Jeimer Candelario 3B | LAA
Tigers' Jeimer Candelario: Returning Monday or Tuesday
Candelario is in Kansas City as he waits to clear intake protocols and could return as soon as Monday and no later than Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Candelario missed most of last week while on the bereavement list. He then hit the COVID-19 injured list on Saturday as he goes through health protocols, but his return appears to be imminent.
