  • Oliver Dunn SS | TB

    Rays' Oliver Dunn: Sent back to minors

    The Rays optioned Dunn to Triple-A Durham on Monday.

    Dunn made only one start during his two-plus weeks with the big club and was just 1-for-11 at the plate in nine contests. He's being sent out in favor of Austin Slater.

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Doubles in second rehab appearance

    Wilson (shoulder) went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored Sunday with Triple-A Las Vegas.

    Making his second rehab appearance while working back from a left shoulder subluxation, Wilson led off the bottom of the first inning with a double and came around to score later in the frame. Prior to being shelved, the shortstop hit .292/.311/.398 with three homers, eight doubles, 19 RBI, 18 runs and two stolen bases across 39 appearances. It's unclear how much time the Athletics plan to give Wilson at Triple-A Las Vegas, though a return to the big-league club sometime this week remains possible.

  • Denzer Guzman 3B | LAA

    Angels' Denzer Guzman: Set for MLB call-up

    The Angels will recall Guzman from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Guzman has been enjoying the favorable hitting environments of the Pacific Coast League, slashing .336/.403/.571 with 12 home runs and nine stolen bases in 268 plate appearances with Salt Lake so far this season. Whiffs were a major problem in his first cup of coffee in the majors last season, as he fanned in more than half of his 42 at-bats, but Guzman has cut his strikeout rate down considerably at the Triple-A level. The 22-year-old could get a look at third base for the last-place Angels while Yoan Moncada (knee) is on the injured list.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Pops three-run homer Sunday

    Neto went 1-for-6 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 13-5 victory over the Dodgers.

    Neto's lone hit was a loud one, as the shortstop uncorked a three-run homer to extend the Angels' lead in the seventh inning. It marked his second homer in as many games and 12th of the campaign. Overall, the 25-year-old is hitting .231 with a .778 OPS, 27 extra-base hits, 31 RBI, 44 runs and 10 stolen bases across 63 contests.

  • Tigers' Kevin McGonigle: Plays hero in win Sunday

    McGonigle went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run and three total RBI in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Mariners.

    McGonigle provided Detroit's first run of the game in the fourth inning on a solo home run, which was his fourth of the season. The rookie infielder then played hero with a walkoff, two-RBI single in the bottom of the ninth to erase a 4-3 deficit. While the Tigers are scuffling at 27-39, McGonigle has been a bright spot with a .291/.394/.426 slash line through his first 63 games at the MLB level, and Sunday's walkoff was also his first in the majors.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Dealing with right knee injury

    Witt was removed from Sunday's game against Minnesota due to right knee soreness.

    It's unclear when the injury cropped up, but Witt was taken out of the game in the seventh inning and was replaced by Michael Massey. Witt went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts prior to his exit, and he'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury. The Royals have an off day Monday, so the 25-year-old shortstop will aim to be available for Tuesday's home game against the Rangers.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Exits Sunday's game

    Witt (undisclosed) was removed from Sunday's game against the Twins, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

    Witt was removed from the game in the seventh inning with the Royals holding a 5-1 lead. It's not clear why he was pulled, but the Royals should have an update on the superstar shortstop during or shortly after Sunday's game. Michael Massey is in the game at second base, with Maikel Garcia and Nick Loftin shifting to shortstop and third base, respectively.

  • Nick Allen SS | HOU

    Astros' Nick Allen: Nursing hamstring injury

    Allen was removed from Sunday's game against the Athletics due to left hamstring discomfort.

    Allen injured his hamstring while running to first base on a single in the third inning, with Taylor Trammell entering the game as a pinch runner. The Astros should have a better sense of the severity of Allen's injury once he undergoes more tests.

  • Nick Allen SS | HOU

    Astros' Nick Allen: Exits Sunday's game

    Allen was removed from Sunday's game against the Athletics due to an apparent leg injury, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Allen appeared to sustain the injury while running to first base on a single in the bottom of the third inning. He left the game with a trainer, and the Astros should have an update on Allen's status once he undergoes more tests. Taylor Trammell replaced Allen as a pinch runner, and the former will stay in the game in left field after Brice Matthews was moved to second base.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Seager is not in the Rangers' starting lineup against the Guardians on Sunday.

    Seager will get a breather after going 2-for-8 with a two-run home run in two games since being activated from the 10-day injured list Thursday. Ezequiel Duran will start at shortstop while Justin Foscue mans second base.
