Peterson (thumb) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and designated for assignment Monday.

Peterson spent just over a month on the 10-day injured list with a left thumb injury and had been on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville recently. While the 31-year-old is now healthy, he'll be cast off the 40-man roster as part of a shuffle after Keston Hiura was recalled in a corresponding move.

Henderson is slashing .339/.417/.661 with five home runs and three stolen bases across 72 plate appearances in his first 15 games with Low-A Delmarva.

Henderson and one of the Orioles' other top middle-infield prospects in Jordan Westburg (1.157 OPS in 15 games) have both hit the ground running at Low-A after the two missed out on a year of development time due to the cancellation of the 2020 minor-league season. An early summer promotion to High-A Frederick should be in the cards for Henderson if he can continue to find success at the dish while keeping his strikeout rate (23.6 percent) in check.

The Pirates are expected to work through a spring-training like progression with Hayes (wrist) as he targets an early-June return date, 93.7 The Fan Pittsburgh reports.

The third baseman doubled and homered in his second rehab game for Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday. "I think about it like an early spring-training schedule," general manager Ben Cherington said Sunday afternoon. "Typically a position player will start with four or five innings, maybe a couple at-bats and then build up over a number of days with some off-days built in. That'll be the same with Ke'Bryan. He's now into his game progression." Hayes is eligible to come off the 60-day injured list on June 3.

Muncy went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and two runs scored in Sunday's 11-5 win over the Giants.

Muncy led off the fourth with a 433-foot bomb to straightaway center to extend the Dodgers' lead to 11-0. The long ball was his second in as many games and he has also reached base multiple times in each of his last four games after drawing two walks in Sunday's win. He has had an excellent month of May, slashing .381/.500/.762 with seven home runs, 14 RBI, 17 runs scored, a stolen base and a 13:19 BB:K.

Devers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two strikeouts in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Phillies.

Devers has now struck out twice in six of his last seven games, but he's also displayed impressive power recently. Across his last five games, Devers has blasted two home runs with three doubles, five RBI and four runs.

Cubs manager David Ross said Duffy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to "low back tightness," Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Ross seemed to suggest Duffy's injury is a day-to-day concern, so the 30-year-old could be available off the bench and may be ready to rejoin the lineup following Monday's team off day. Duffy has been an unsung hero for the Cubs this season, batting .278 with a home run and three stolen bases across 106 plate appearances.

Riley went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Sunday's 7-1 win over Pittsburgh.

Riley has been on an absolute tear during his eight-game hitting streak, going 14-for-28 (.500) with six homers, 11 RBI and 10 runs scored in that span. The third baseman's surge has seen him raise his OPS from .769 to .963 in the last week. He's added nine homers, 21 RBI and 27 runs scored across 181 plate appearances this season.

Machado (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Ha-Seong Kim will pick up another start at third base in place of Machado, who will be on the bench for the third day in a row on account of a tight shoulder. The Padres haven't indicated that Machado has been cleared to resume full hitting and throwing activities, so he could be in danger of landing on the 10-day injured list if he doesn't show any meaningful improvement heading into the team's four-game series in Milwaukee that begins Monday.

Longoria is out of the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Longoria will be on the bench for the series finale and get consecutive days off thanks to Monday's scheduled off day. Mauricio Dubon will start at third base Sunday for the Giants.

Walls will start at shortstop and bat eighth Sunday against the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Walls will be awarded a second straight start after he went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles and a run scored in his MLB debut Saturday in the Rays' 3-1 win. With Willy Adames now in Milwaukee, the right-handed Walls should at least serve as a short-side platoon option at shortstop, and it wouldn't be surprising if the Rays gave him a look as a full-time player.
