Jose Miranda 3B | MIN
Twins' Jose Miranda: Blasts first homer
Miranda went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI during the Twins' 7-4 loss to the Orioles.
Miranda came into the game with just two hits in 13 at-bats but topped that mark with three hits Monday to go along with a 411-foot blast to left-center that represented his first home run of the season. The 26-year-old Miranda was recalled on April 8 with Monday's game representing his fifth start and seventh appearance since rejoining the big club. He followed up a strong rookie campaign in 2022 by struggling significantly last season and failing to make the club out of camp this season. However, until Royce Lewis (quad) returns, Miranda should continue to see a decent amount of playing time.

Oakland placed Davis on the 10-day injured list Monday with a right adductor strain, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Davis had been expected to miss at least the next few days while recovering from the injury, and the club has now decided a trip to the IL was warranted. Outfielder Esteury Ruiz was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move.

Nationals' Nick Senzel: Activated from injured list
The Nationals reinstated Senzel (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Monday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
Senzel landed on the 10-day IL after he fractured his right thumb while fielding grounders before the Nationals' season opener. He played three games with Double-A Harrisburg as part of his rehab assignment and went 4-for-7 with one double, one RBI and three walks. Senzel is starting at third base and batting sixth for Monday's game against the Dodgers, per Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com.

Athletics' J.D. Davis: Likely out at least a few days
Davis (groin) is unlikely to play for at least a few days, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Davis suffered a hip flexor/groin injury Sunday and was set to be examined by Athletics doctors Monday. Esteury Ruiz was spotted in the A's clubhouse Monday, but it's not clear whether he could be a potential roster replacement for Davis. More information should be available after Davis' exam.

Marlins' Vidal Brujan: Available off bench
Brujan (knee) is available off the bench for Monday's game against the Giants, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Brujan isn't starting Monday after exiting Sunday's contest with a right knee injury, but it appears he's fine. The utility player is just 2-for-20 so far at the plate this season for Miami.

Alex Bregman 3B | CHC
Astros' Alex Bregman: Returns to Houston lineup
Bregman (illness) will start at third base and bat cleanup in Monday's contest versus Atlanta.
Bregman missed three games due to illness but is feeling up to participating in Monday's festivities. It's been a slow start to the season for the veteran third baseman, as he'll carry a .241/.305/.333 batting line with no home runs into play Monday.

J.D. Davis 1B | LAA
Athletics' J.D. Davis: Exits Sunday with groin injury
Davis exited Sunday's win over the Nationals after five innings due to a right groin strain, MLB.com reports.
Davis felt tightness in his groin during a fourth-inning at-bat, likely the result of a difficult over-the-shoulder catch he'd made in the top of the frame on a CJ Abrams flyball. The veteran infielder is slated for an MRI on Monday and considered day-to-day until that evaluation is completed. If Davis is forced to miss any additional time, the trio of Tyler Nevin, who served as an in-game replacement Sunday, Abraham Toro and Darell Hernaiz would all be candidates to draw starts at third base.
