Rangers' Josh Jung: Continues mashing
Jung went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 6-3 win over Kansas City.
Jung doubled and scored in the first inning, then plated two runners with a bases-loaded single in the fourth. He's had an impressive homestand, hitting safely in all six games while going 10-for-24 with four extra-base hits (two HRs), four RBI and six runs scored. Jung was moved to second in the batting order for the three-game set against the Royals and got five plate appearances in each contest.

Maikel Garcia 3B | KC
Royals' Maikel Garcia: Set to be evaluated Monday
Garcia (hamstring) will be re-evaluated Monday, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.
Garcia suffered a right hamstring strain in Saturday's loss to the Rangers, and he was unavailable for Sunday's contest as a result. Manager Matt Quatraro provided an update Sunday, outing that the 26-year-old is "feeling better" and that the team is "not going to IL him right now." Garcia is expected to do some testing of his hamstring Monday, and Kansas City will see what direction it wants to go from there.

Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY
Yankees' Ryan McMahon: Idle against southpaw
McMahon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
McMahon is in the midst of one of his best stretches of the season, having gone 9-for-29 (.310 average) with three home runs, one stolen base, six RBI and five runs over his last eight games. The Yankees will hold him out of the starting nine Sunday with southpaw Jacob Lopez on the hill, but the left-handed-hitting McMahon should continue to receive regular at-bats against right-handed pitching while he's swinging a hot bat.

Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Nolan Arenado: Ready to go Sunday
Arenado (undisclosed) is starting at third base and batting cleanup Sunday against the Mariners.
Arenado was scratched from the lineup Saturday after dealing with arm and groin issues the past few days, but he's back in action one day later. The veteran third baseman enters the final day of May with nine doubles, two homers and an .886 OPS through 24 games this month.

Maikel Garcia 3B | KC
Royals' Maikel Garcia: No decision yet on IL stint
Garcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers as the Royals await test results on the right hamstring injury he suffered in Saturday's 7-6 loss, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Garcia sustained the injury in the seventh inning Saturday while running the bases and was immediately lifted. At this stage, the 26-year-old appears more likely than not to wind up on the IL, but the Royals are holding out hope that he's dealing with a low-grade strain that may cause him to miss just a few games.

Gage Workman 3B | DET
Tigers' Gage Workman: Returns to Triple-A
The Tigers optioned Workman to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.
Workman ended up being the roster casualty when Kerry Carpenter (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list Sunday. After being called up from Triple-A on May 10, Workman appeared in 16 games for Detroit but slashed just .158/.158/.553 with a 42.1 percent strikeout rate over 38 plate appearances.

Donovan Walton 3B | LAA
Angels' Donovan Walton: Idle against southpaw
Walton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.
The left-handed hitter had started four of the previous five games but will head to the bench against southpaw Shane McClanahan. Nick Madrigal will check in for Walton at third base and bat ninth.

Luis Rengifo 3B | MIL
Brewers' Luis Rengifo: On bench again Sunday
Rengifo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
It's the second straight game on the bench for Rengifo, who has gone 5-for-36 (.139) with no extra-base hits while committing four errors over his past 11 contests. Joey Ortiz is manning shortstop Sunday while David Hamilton shifts to third base in Rengifo's place.

Jared Triolo 3B | PIT
Pirates' Jared Triolo: Taking over for injured Griffin
Triolo will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Twins.
Triolo covered shortstop the last three games, and he's in line for a longer run at the position with Konnor Griffin (forearm) moving to the injured list Sunday. Per Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said that he anticipated a short-term stint on the shelf for Griffin, so Triolo could end up shifting back into a utility infield role as soon as the second week of June. After a strong finish to 2025, he hasn't had much success in 2026, slashing just .231/.268/.256 with no home runs, two steals, four runs and four RBI across 83 plate appearances.

Caleb Durbin 3B | BOS
Red Sox's Caleb Durbin: Makes third straight start
Durbin went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's 9-1 win over Cleveland.
Although the final score suggests this was an easy win, Durbin was a key contributor when the game was still close. His sacrifice fly in the fourth inning produced Boston's first run, and a run-scoring double in the eighth gave the team a 3-1 lead before the offense erupted for six runs in the final frame. This was Durbin's third consecutive start after it looked like his playing time was on the wane, and he's responded by hitting safely in all three starts (5-for-12) with three doubles and four RBI.
