  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Pair of knocks in win

    Bohm went 2-for-5 in Monday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Cubs.

    Although Bohm saw his 10-game hitting streak come to an end on May 30, he's maintained healthy production in the past few weeks. Over his last 20 outings, the 28-year-old infielder is hitting. 305 (25-for-82) with three homers, three doubles, eight RBI and nine runs scored. Bohm has hit either third or fourth in Philadelphia's batting order nine times in his last 12 contests, and he should continue to bat in those positions while Bryce Harper (wrist) is on the injured list.

  • Gio Urshela 3B | MIN

    Athletics' Gio Urshela: Starting rehab stint soon

    Urshela (hamstring) is expected to be sent out on a minor-league rehab assignment later in the week, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Urshela, who was placed on the 10-day injured list May 23 due to a left hamstring strain, is set to begin a rehab stint with Triple-A Las Vegas. It's been just over two weeks since his last game action, so he should only need a handful of at-bats in the minors before the team feels comfortable activating him.

  • Kyle Karros 3B | COL

    Rockies' Kyle Karros: Returns to Double-A lineup

    Karros (undisclosed) has gone 3-for-15 with two RBI, four runs and one stolen base in six games since being activated from Double-A Hartford's 7-day injured list last Tuesday.

    Karros is off to a slow start at the dish since returning from an unspecified injury, but he was firing on all cylinders prior to landing on the IL. The 22-year-old is hitting .312 with two home runs and five stolen bases in 28 games for Hartford on the season.

  • Luis Rengifo 3B | MIL

    Angels' Luis Rengifo: Absent from lineup

    Rengifo is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Athletics.

    Rengifo is stuck in a season-long slump and has been particularly brutal at the plate lately, going 3-for-30 over his last nine contests. Kevin Newman will hold down third base and bat ninth in Monday's series opener.

  • Eric Wagaman 1B | NYM

    Marlins' Eric Wagaman: Sitting Monday

    Wagaman is not in the Marlins' starting lineup against the Pirates on Monday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

    Wagaman will take a seat after going 0-for-9 with four strikeouts over his last two games. Liam Hicks will start at first base while Heriberto Hernandez serves as the designated hitter and bat ninth.

  • Twins' Ryan Fitzgerald: On IL with sprained ankle

    Triple-A St. Paul placed Fitzgerald on its 7-day injured list Sunday due to a right ankle sprain.

    Fitzgerald was hitting just .159 with a .525 OPS in 12 games since he returned to Triple-A from his brief time in the majors. He's hitting .284/.378/.467 with five home runs overall in 47 games at Triple-A.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Remains hot with homer Sunday

    Machado went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a 1-0 win against the Brewers on Sunday.

    Machado accounted for the only run by either team with his 425-foot solo blast in the seventh inning. The star third baseman has found his power stroke of late, clubbing three homers over his past four games and seven across his past 16 contests. Machado is also in the midst of a six-game hitting streak during which he's posted a 1.352 OPS with six RBI.

  • Brett Baty RF | NYM

    Mets' Brett Baty: Launches seventh homer

    Baty went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Rockies.

    The 25-year-old infielder took Seth Halvorsen deep in the seventh inning, snapping a 14-game homer drought for Baty and giving him seven long balls on the season. While he continues to see regular playing time at third base with Mark Vientos (hamstring) on the shelf while also spelling Jeff McNeil at second base, Baty's bat has cooled down and he's batting just .143 (4-for-28) to begin the month of June. If he doesn't heat up, Ronny Mauricio could begin to steal starts away from Baty.

  • Brett Harris 3B | ATH

    Athletics' Brett Harris: Returns from IL

    Harris (undisclosed) went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored Saturday in his return to the Triple-A Las Vegas lineup after being activated from the 7-day injured list Friday.

    Harris had been out of action at Las Vegas for nearly two months before making his return from the shelf. The 26-year-old third baseman is slashing .382/.462/.636 with three home runs and three stolen bases in 65 plate appearances at Las Vegas for the season and could merit consideration for a promotion to the Athletics if he can maintain a good run of health.

  • Braves' Nacho Alvarez: Ready for rehab assignment

    Atlanta sent Alvarez (wrist) to its rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate Monday to begin a rehab assignment.

    Alvarez has endured a long recovery process since he was diagnosed with left wrist inflammation all the way back in late February. He's finally been cleared for game action, and the 22-year-old seems like a good bet to be optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett rather than added to the major-league roster once he's activated from the 60-day injured list.
