Brady House 3B | WAS
Nationals' Brady House: Demoted to minors
House was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Monday.
House has flashed plenty of pop early in the 2026 campaign, registering seven home runs over 44 games, including three home runs in May, but the club has elected to send him down. This move is presumably to make room for Dylan Crews, who is expected to be promoted ahead of Tuesday's matchup.

David Hamilton 3B | MIL
Brewers' David Hamilton: Taking seat against lefty
Hamilton is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.
The left-handed-hitting Hamilton will hit the bench for the second time in three days while the Brewers face off against another lefty starter (Shota Imanaga). With Hamilton taking a seat, Luis Rengifo and Joey Ortiz will serve a Milwaukee's starters on the left side of the infield.

Royce Lewis 3B | MIN
Twins' Royce Lewis: Hitting bench amid rough spell
Lewis is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.
After recently making the tough choice to demote Matt Wallner to Triple-A St. Paul following a rough start to the season, the Twins could be facing a similar decision with Lewis. The 26-year-old has generally stayed healthy this season, but after going 2-for-11 with six punchouts during the Twins' weekend series versus the Brewers, he's now slashing an abysmal .163/.261/.279 with a career-worst 31.1 percent strikeout rate over 119 plate appearances. Tristan Gray will step in at third base Monday in place of the struggling Lewis.

Caleb Durbin 3B | BOS
Red Sox's Caleb Durbin: Sitting for second straight day
Durbin is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.
Nick Sogard will get the nod at third base for Durbin for the second day in a row, perhaps hinting that the latter is on shaky ground atop the depth chart. After posting a .721 OPS as a rookie with Milwaukee in 2025, Durbin has struggled mightily at the dish during his first season in Boston, slashing just .165/.247/.245 with a 15.5 percent strikeout rate -- up 5.6 percentage points from 2025 -- over 155 plate appearances.

Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY
Yankees' Ryan McMahon: Hitting bench against southpaw
McMahon is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.
Lefty Patrick Corbin is starting the game for Toronto, so the left-handed-hitting McMahon will bow out of the lineup as Amed Rosario receives the nod at third base. McMahon has gone 0-for-23 over his last six starts, bringing his batting average down to .183 on the season.

Kyle Farmer 3B | ATL
Braves' Kyle Farmer: Goes on IL with strained forearm
Atlanta placed Farmer on the 10-day injured list Monday with a right forearm strain.
He'll be eligible to return next week, but Farmer is without a firm timeline to be acitvated from the IL. Farmer has played sparingly for Atlanta this season, picking up four hits in 14 at-bats.

Patrick Wisdom 3B | SEA
Mariners' Patrick Wisdom: Activated from injured list
The Mariners activated Wisdom (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday.
Wisdom was shelved for the last month of action with a left oblique strain but has been deemed ready to roll after playing eight rehab contests with Triple-A Tacoma. The 34-year-old is likely to serve primarily in a reserve role for Seattle.

Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN
Reds' Eugenio Suarez: Rehab assignment coming
Suarez (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.
Suarez's recovery from a left oblique strain has come along more slowly than anticipated, but he's finally progressed to the point of being cleared to play in games. The veteran slugger has been sidelined for nearly a month, so he will likely need a handful of rehab contests before returning from the 10-day injured list.

Otto Kemp LF | PHI
Phillies' Otto Kemp: Summoned from Triple-A
The Phillies recalled Kemp from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.
Philadelphia is scheduled to face off against a pair of lefty starters (Nick Lodolo and Andrew Abbott) during its three-game series with Cincinnati to begin the week, so Kemp will provide the big club with an extra right-handed bat. While he's up with the big club, Kemp could be a candidate to fill the short side of a platoon with Bryson Stott in the infield or Justin Crawford or Brandon Marsh in the outfield.
