Tucker went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in a 6-5 victory versus Philadelphia on Monday.

Tucker was called up to the big club Monday afternoon and batted seventh while working as the Angels' DH. The 27-year-old made a tangible impact in his team debut, walking and stealing a base in his first plate appearance, then tying the game with a run-scoring single in the sixth inning. It's unclear how often Tucker will be in the lineup since he doesn't have an obvious path to everyday playing time.

Garver went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Monday in a 2-1 win over Atlanta.

It's been a rough season for Garver, as he's slashing just .150/.266/.313 through 94 plate appearances. However, Seattle has stuck with him as the team's primary DH, and that decision paid off Monday when he launched a two-run, ninth-inning shot to give the Mariners a come-from-behind win. Garver could be building a bit of momentum, as he's gone deep in two of his past four games.

Turner went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a solo home run during Monday's 6-5 win over the Royals.

Turner dominated Royals starter Jonathan Bowlan -- who was making his second career start -- notching home runs off him in the first and third innings. The contest doubled Turner's 2024 home run total and was his first multi-homer game since June of 2023. Through 28 games, Turner is slashing .311/.390/.533 with 15 RBI and 15 runs scored.

Carpenter (oblique) could begin a rehab assignment as soon as Thursday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Carpenter has progressed well since being given an injection for his right oblique strain a week ago, having taken a couple rounds of batting practice without issue. It sounds like he might be ready for activation within the next week or so.

Ramirez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

Ramirez will take a seat for the second time in three days while Yandy Diaz gets a day off at first base and serves as the Rays' designated hitter after he recently returned from a left pinkie finger injury. Though Ramirez still appears to be the Rays' top option on the depth chart at DH for the time being, he'll be at risk of moving a short-side platoon role once Jonathan Aranda (finger) is activated from the 10-day injured list.

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

Sanchez went 3-for-10 with a pair of doubles, a walk, two runs and an RBI while making starts in each of the last three games, with two coming as a designated hitter and one coming at catcher. The Brewers haven't yet shown a willingness to deploy Sanchez at DH on a consistent basis, so he seems likely to remain in a part-time role while top backstop William Contreras is healthy.

Pederson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

With southpaw James Paxton on the bump for the Dodgers, the lefty-hitting Pederson will hit the bench for the series opener. Blaze Alexander will get a day out of the infield and will serve as the Diamondbacks' designated hitter in Pederson's place.

Stewart is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Stewart is on the bench for the third time in five games. As expected, he's become the odd man out of the Mets' everyday lineup versus right-handed pitching after New York added designated hitter J.D. Martinez to the 26-man active roster Friday.

Yoshida exited Sunday's 5-4 win over the Cubs in the sixth inning due to a left hand injury, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Yoshida jammed his left hand on a groundout in his first at-bat in the bottom of the first inning, ultimately leaving the game after the top of the sixth inning. Considering the outfielder was able remain in the game as long as he did and even record a hit in his second at-bat, it's possible that the injury is minor. The team will determine if he needs X-rays during Monday's off day, and he can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Jimenez went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Rays.

Jimenez was able to single and then come around to score on an RBI single by Robbie Grossman in the bottom of the fourth. He later added two more base knocks in the contest, notching his second straight multi-hit performance and his fourth in the last nine games. Over that stretch, Jimenez has batted .351 with three home runs, eight RBI, seven runs scored, three walks and a stolen base over 37 at-bats.
