  • Joe Mack C | MIA

    Marlins' Joe Mack: Racks up season-high four RBI

    Mack went 1-for-3 with four RBI, a walk and an additional run scored in Monday's 12-0 win over Atlanta.

    Despite coming away with no extra-base hits, the rookie backstop was still able to pile up a season-high four RBI on Monday. With Agustin Ramirez getting some seasoning in the minor leagues and Liam Hicks settling in as Miami's top first baseman, Mack is serving as the club's primary catcher but remains mostly off the fantasy radar. Over 40 at-bats, he's hitting .225 with three doubles, six RBI and six runs scored.

  • Ryan Jeffers C | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Suffers injury vs. Astros

    Jeffers left Monday's game against Houston with an unspecified injury, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Jeffers was pulled from the game during his at-bat in the bottom of the eighth inning, though the nature of the injury is unclear at this time. He broke his bat on his first swing of the at-bat and didn't look comfortable afterward, and he eventually walked off the field to be evaluated further. Jeffers can be considered day-to-day until more information comes to light.

  • Kyle Teel C | CHW

    White Sox's Kyle Teel: Out 3-to-6 weeks with sprained LCL

    Teel (hamstring) is expected to be sidelined an additional 3-to-6 weeks after suffering a sprained LCL in his right knee during a rehab game with Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

    Teel tweaked the knee on a swing during his fourth rehab contest, which will delay his season debut several more weeks. He initially landed on the 10-day injured list before the season due to a Grade 2 right hamstring strain. Drew Romo and Edgar Quero will continue to share catching duties for the White Sox while Teel recuperates.

  • Rockies' Braxton Fulford: Back with big-league club

    Fulford was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

    Fulford will provide the Rockies with another left-handed bat. He's in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the Rangers, batting ninth and slotting in as the club's designated hitter.

  • Orioles' Maverick Handley: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Orioles optioned Handley to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

    Handley struck out in his lone plate appearance during his brief time with the big club. He's clearing off the active roster to make room for the return of Jackson Holliday (hand).

  • Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Not starting in series opener

    Narvaez (finger) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

    Narvaez will get at least one game off after he exited in the sixth inning of Sunday's 8-1 loss to Atlanta due to right middle finger discomfort. X-rays on Narvaez's finger came back negative, so the Red Sox are viewing him as day-to-day for the time being. Connor Wong will get the nod behind the dish in Monday's series opener against the Royals.

  • Connor Wong C | BOS

    Red Sox's Connor Wong: Checking back into starting nine

    Wong (ankle) will start at catcher and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Royals.

    Carlos Narvaez (finger) is on the bench for the series opener after exiting Sunday's 8-1 loss to Atlanta, but Wong is feeling well enough to make his first start since Wednesday following a recent bout with a right ankle injury. Wong came off the bench to replace Narvaez in Sunday's contest, going 1-for-2 with a run scored.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Getting night off versus lefty

    Wells is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Wells will be joined on the bench by fellow left-handed batters Trent Grisham, Spencer Jones and Ryan McMahon while southpaw Patrick Corbin toes the rubber for the Blue Jays in the series opener. J.C. Escarra will replace Wells behind the dish.

  • Rays' Hunter Feduccia: On bench versus lefty

    Feduccia is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Feduccia will hit the bench for the second day in a row, but he had started in three of the Rays' previous four matchups versus right-handed pitchers. Nick Fortes will get the nod at catcher Monday against Orioles southpaw Trevor Rogers as the Rays run a loose platoon behind the plate.

  • Orioles' Samuel Basallo: Not playing regularly vs. lefties

    Basallo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

    Though Orioles manager Craig Albernaz told Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun a week ago that the left-handed-hitting Basallo had "earned the right" to face southpaws, the 21-year-old will end up being excluded from the lineup for the third time in four matchups with lefty starters since Albernaz made that comment. Adley Rutschman will start behind the plate, Coby Mayo will cover first base and Pete Alonso will serve as Baltimore's designated hitter Monday while southpaw Shane McClanahan takes the hill for Tampa Bay.
