  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Not activated from IL yet

    LeMahieu (calf) was not activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's game in Seattle, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

    LeMahieu has joined the Yankees in Seattle, but the team hasn't put him on the active roster just yet. That could come as soon as Tuesday. LeMahieu has been shelved all season with a calf strain and more recently a hip issue.

  • Eric Wagaman 1B | MIA

    Marlins' Eric Wagaman: Not in Monday's lineup

    Wagaman is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Cubs.

    Wagaman is carrying a sub-.600 OPS into play Monday, so it wouldn't be a surprise if he begins to see his playing time slip. The Marlins are starting Matt Mervis at first base in Monday's series opener.

  • Connor Norby 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Connor Norby: Grabbing seat Monday

    Norby is absent from the lineup for Monday's game versus the Cubs.

    Norby started all three games of the Marlins' series against the White Sox this past weekend and reached base a total of five times. However, he'll get a breather for the series opener versus the Cubs, yielding to Graham Pauley at third base.

  • Jace Jung 2B | DET

    Tigers' Jace Jung: Out of Tigers lineup

    Jung is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Red Sox.

    Right-hander Tanner Houck is on the bump for the Red Sox, but the left-handed-hitting Jung will grab a seat after starting each of the last three games against righties. Zach McKinstry will pick up a start at third base and bat sixth for the Tigers in the series opener.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Joining team in Seattle

    LeMahieu (calf) is slated to join the Yankees for the start of their series Monday in Seattle, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

    The team has not confirmed that LeMahieu will be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of the series opener, but it seems likely that he will be on the active roster. LeMahieu has been out all season with a calf strain and more recently a hip issue, but he's healthy now. The 36-year-old has gone 12-for-27 with one home run and a 4:3 K:BB over nine rehab games and could be the Yankees' primary second baseman while Jazz Chisholm (oblique) is sidelined.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Giants' Matt Chapman: Multi-hit effort in loss

    Chapman went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk and a run scored during Sunday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Twins.

    The third baseman cracked a double into right field in the fourth inning before coming around to score on a two-run home run by Heliot Ramos. Chapman also singled in the eighth. With that, the 32-year-old notched his ninth multi-hit game of the 2025 campaign and his third in May. He has now logged at least one hit in seven of his last 10 outings, slashing .306/.375/.611 with nine runs scored, eight RBI, three homers and two doubles across 40 plate appearances in that span.

  • Aaron Schunk SS | COL

    Rockies' Aaron Schunk: Starts up rehab assignment

    Schunk (groin) made starts at third base and second base during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque over the weekend, going 2-for-7 with a home run and two RBI.

    Schunk appears to be in a similar spot in his recovery from a left groin strain as Ezequiel Tovar (hip) and Tyler Freeman (oblique), both of whom also started in games with Albuquerque on Saturday and Sunday. Since both Schunk and Freeman are projected to handle utility roles once activated from the injured list, the Rockies could option one of the two players to the minors. Before landing on the IL on April 26, Schunk appeared in seven games for Colorado and hit .250 with one run over 21 plate appearances.

  • Mark Vientos DH | NYM

    Mets' Mark Vientos: Slugs fifth homer

    Vientos went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Cubs.

    Getting the start at third base against Matthew Boyd, Vientos took the southpaw deep for a solo shot in the sixth inning. Brett Baty has started the last three games at the hot corner against right-handed pitching, but Vientos should see more action at DH in those matchups if he keeps hitting. Since returning from a minor groin injury April 22, the 25-year-old is slashing .313/.366/.500 over his last 17 games with three of his five homers and 11 of his 17 RBI on the year.

  • Ernie Clement SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Three hits against M's

    Clement went 3-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Mariners.

    The 29-year-old utility player has started four straight games at second base since Andres Gimenez (quadriceps) landed on the IL, and Clement has gone an impressive 8-for-16 during that span with a steal, two RBI and three runs. All eight hits have been singles however, and he's still looking for his first homer of 2025 after launching 12 in 139 games last season. With Addison Barger also heating up while getting regular run at third base and offering a lot more upside in an everyday role, Clement could have a hard time finding consistent at-bats once Gimenez returns.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Swipes fourth bag

    Hayes went 2-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base Sunday against Atlanta.

    Hayes hit atop the Pirates' order with Oneil Cruz (back) sidelined and lefty Chris Sale on the mound. He swiped his fourth stolen base of the season, his first since April 14 and only second since Opening Day. Overall, Hayes is hitting a decent .253 across 157 plate appearances, but he has just five extra-base hits.
