Jung batted second and went 1-for-2 with two walks in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Yankees. He was also caught stealing.

Jung, who's been on a tear lately, was moved to second in the order for the first time this season. He was the fourth different Ranger to bat second since Wyatt Langford (forearm) was placed on the 10-day injured list last week. Jung entered the night slashing .410/.442/.923 with four home runs and 11 RBI over the previous 10 games.

Machado left Monday's game against the Cubs with an unspecified injury, 97.3 The Fan reports.

Machado left the matchup after grounding out to end the bottom of the sixth inning. He made it about halfway up the line before turning around and walking slowly off the field. The nature of Machado's injury is unclear at this time, so he can be considered day-to-day until the club has another update to share.

Harber (hamstring) was activated from the 7-day injured list Friday.

Harber suffered a Grade 2 right hamstring strain in mid-March and was expected to need 4-to-6 weeks to recover. He's looked sharp at the dish in three games since returning to action, going 5-for-14 with one double, one RBI and two runs scored at Triple-A Sacramento.

Pauley is not in the Marlins' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Monday.

Pauley will take a seat for Monday's series opener while Javier Sanoja mans the hot corner and bats eighth. Pauley has gone 5-for-10 with one home run and four RBI during his current four-game hitting streak.

Muncy (illness) will start at third base and bat sixth in Monday's contest against the Marlins.

Muncy was under the weather over the weekend, forcing an early exit from Saturday's game versus the Cubs. He did not play Sunday, though the Dodgers said he had been scheduled for a day off, anyway. Muncy is ready to go for the series opener versus the Marlins and will carry a robust 1.028 OPS into play Monday.

Moncada is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Moncada is a switch hitter, but since he's been far more productive against right-handers (112 wRC+) than left-handers (91 wRC+) throughout his career, the Angels have been deploying him as a strong-side platoon player. He'll hit the bench Monday for the fifth time in six games, with each of his absences coming against lefty starters.

The White Sox placed Murray on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left shoulder dislocation and fracture.

Murray suffered the injury during Sunday's game against the Nationals when he landed awkwardly after making a diving catch in left field. There is a fracture in the dislocated shoulder that requires surgery, which White Sox manager Will Venable relayed will take about 4-to-6 months to recover from, per James Fegan of SoxMachine.com. That timeline means the earliest Murray would return is late August.

Williamson will start at second base and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Guardians, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

After going 5-for-15 with a pair of extra-base hits and a walk over the previous four contests, Williamson will stick in the starting nine for a fifth straight game. The Rays have faced three right-handed starters and two lefties during that stretch, so Williamson could be moving into more of a full-time role after having more recently been deployed in the short side of a platoon at second base with the left-handed-hitting Richie Palacios. Both Williamson and Palacios will likely see their opportunities at the keystone diminish once Gavin Lux (shoulder/ankle) is activated from the 10-day injured list.

Lewis is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

It's a routine day off for Lewis, who is just 3-for-20 with one home run and a 0:8 BB:K since returning from the injured list. Tristan Gray will start at third base and bat ninth in Monday's series opener.

Chapman went 0-for-1 with two walks and a run scored in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Marlins. He was also hit by a pitch.

Chapman drew two walks for a second straight game and came around to score in the seventh inning. The veteran third baseman has reached base at least once in eight of his last nine games, slashing .313/.436/.344 with five runs scored, four RBI and a 15.4 percent walk rate in 39 plate appearances during that span. Overall, he's slashing .283/.356/.377 with 15 runs scored, 12 RBI and one home run across 118 plate appearances in 28 games.
