    Blue Jays' Matt Chapman: Hopeful to return this week

    Chapman (finger) hopes to return later this week, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    He went through a full day of workouts, including making throws in the infield and hitting off a velocity machine. For weeks, he'd only been fielding groundballs, so advancing to making throws is a big step. In the meantime, Cavan Biggio and Santiago Espinal have been platooning at third base.

  • Ramon Urias 3B | STL

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Urias is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Urias had started four of the previous five contests, including two straight, but he will begin this one on the bench. The Orioles are going with Adam Frazier at second base and Jordan Westburg at third.

  • Diamondbacks' Emmanuel Rivera: Out with sore shoulder

    Rivera (shoulder) is absent from the lineup Tuesday versus the Mets.

    Rivera injured his left shoulder while trying to catch a ball near the stands in Monday's series opener at New York, though it's not believed to be anything serious. Jace Peterson will get the start at third base for the Diamondbacks on Tuesday. Geraldo Perdomo is covering shortstop.

  • Curtis Mead 3B | BOS

    Rays' Curtis Mead: Back in big leagues

    Mead was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

  • Noelvi Marte RF | CIN

    Reds' Noelvi Marte: Remains sidelined Tuesday

    Marte (nose) remains out of the lineup Tuesday at Detroit.

    Marte suffered a broken nose Saturday when he was struck in the face by a ball during pregame warmups, but he cleared the concussion protocol and apparently won't require a stay on the injured list. Nick Senzel is covering third base and batting second for the Reds on Tuesday.

  • Oswald Peraza 2B | LAA

    Yankees' Oswald Peraza: Could play during doubleheader

    Peraza (knee) could be available to play at some point during Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Red Sox, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

    Peraza is not starting the first game of the double dip, which is the second straight contest he's been absent from the lineup. The swelling in his left knee has gone down, though, and while it doesn't sound like he'll start the nightcap, he should be available off the bench. Isiah Kiner-Falefa is handling third base in the first game.

  • Oswald Peraza 2B | LAA

    Yankees' Oswald Peraza: Not playing first game

    Peraza (knee) remains out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Red Sox, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

    Peraza hasn't started since Saturday while dealing with a lingering left knee issue. It's possible he'll be ready to start the second game of the double dip, although that has not been confirmed. Isiah Kiner-Falefa is handling third base for the first game Tuesday.

  • Diamondbacks' Emmanuel Rivera: Leaves with shoulder injury

    Rivera exited Monday's win over the Mets with a shoulder injury, MLB.com reports.

    Rivera, who started at third base, made an awkward attempt to catch a foul ball near the stands while running into the tarp. He stayed in the game for another inning before being removed. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo believes Rivera is fine and described him as day-to-day. He was replaced at third base by Jace Peterson.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Homers in three-hit game

    Henderson went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Monday's 11-5 win over the Cardinals.

The rookie infielder padded the Orioles' lead with his sixth-inning solo shot Monday. He's up to 25 homers 75 RBI, 87 runs scored and nine stolen bases while slashing .257/.328/.492 over 132 contests in his first full big-league campaign.

The infielder continues to display solid power with 35 long balls and a .493 slugging percentage through 120 contests this season.
