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.

Lipscomb was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Monday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Lipscomb got regular at-bats at third base while Nick Senzel was on the injured list, but with Senzel back in action Lipscomb will head back to Rochester to play every day. The 23-year-old has slashed .224/.278/.286 with one home run and four stolen bases over 14 games with the big club.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bohm is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

It's a rare day off for Bohm, who has now started 15 of 17 contests for the Phillies this season. Whit Merrifield will get a start at third base while Bohm receives some rest.

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.

Manager Kevin Cash said Saturday that Walls (hip) isn't recovering as quickly as the Rays had originally hoped, MLB.com reports.

Walls has yet to play this season while recovering from offseason hip surgery. He was expected to return by mid-April, but he has no clear timeline to come off the 10-day injured list at this point. Walls' ongoing absence should ensure continued playing time for Jose Caballero at shortstop.

Devers (shoulder) will start at third base and bat sixth in Monday's game versus the Guardians.

Devers missed four contests with a lingering left shoulder issue, but he's feeling well enough to return to action for Monday's Patriots Day game. He and his teammates will be going up against right-hander Xzavion Curry.
