Pena went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 10-7 loss to the Rangers.

Pena made things interesting in the ninth inning with a 454-foot blast off Jacob Latz, his first homer this season, cutting Houston's deficit to 10-7. The home run was also Pena's first extra-base hit in eight games since he returned from a month-long IL stint. After batting .304 with 17 homers, 20 steals and an .840 OPS across 125 games in 2025, the 28-year-old Pena is slashing .247/.309/.342 with five RBI, 11 runs scored and two stolen bases across 81 plate appearances this year.

Volpe went 3-for-6 with a home run, a double, three total runs and two total RBI in a 15-1 win against Kansas City on Tuesday.

Volpe was one of nine Yankees with multiple hits in an overwhelming offensive attack by New York. The shortstop clubbed a solo homer in his first plate appearance and added an RBI single his next time up. Tuesday marked his second straight start following a two-game stint on the bench. Since making his season debut May 13, Volpe has slashed .281/.425/.469 with six runs, seven RBI and two stolen bases through 10 contests.

McGonigle went 3-for-4 with a walk, a triple, a run scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 10-6 loss to the Angels.

While Detroit has been struggling recently, McGonigle remains a bright spot. The rookie infielder is now riding a five-game hitting streak and has at least one hit in nine of his last 10 contests. Overall, McGonigle is slashing a robust .291/.395/.427 across 53 games, and it looks like the Tigers have found a reliable leadoff hitter and offensive weapon for years to come.

Caballero is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

Following his return from the injured list Friday, Caballero started in each of the Yankees' ensuing three games, going 3-for-11 with an RBI. The Yankees are likely to continue deploying Caballero as their primary shortstop, but he'll hit the bench Tuesday while manager Aaron Boone opens up the position for Anthony Volpe.

Walls was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles due to left hamstring tightness, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The Rays are viewing Walls as day-to-day, so although he won't be able to start Tuesday's contest, he doesn't seem to be at risk of missing extended time. Oliver Dunn will enter the starting nine to cover for Walls at shortstop.

Single-A Kannapolis placed Carlson on its 7-day injured list Tuesday after the infielder was diagnosed with a non-displaced fracture of the tip of his left thumb, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Carlson sustained the injury Saturday and is expected to require 4-to-6 weeks of recovery time. His thumb will be placed in a splint initially while he waits for the fracture to heal. The No. 10 overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft, the 19-year-old Carlson has slashed .257/.386/.340 with no home runs, eight stolen bases and a 27:45 BB:K over his first 39 pro games.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Tuesday that Baez is scheduled to meet with a specialist in the near future for further evaluation on his sprained right ankle, which hasn't healed as quickly as the team hoped, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

After being placed on the shelf April 29, Baez had been in the midst of a running and hitting progression at the Tigers' spring training facility in Florida, but he apparently hasn't been able to get over the hump in his recovery from the injury. Once Baez gets checked out by the specialist, the Tigers should have a better idea regarding a treatment plan for the injury along with a potential timeline for the 33-year-old to start ramping up his activities. Given that he's already missed nearly a month due to the injury, Baez could be a candidate to shift to the 60-day injured list if he's not ready to begin a rehab assignment within the next couple of weeks.

Arias (hamstring) has resumed baseball activities and hitting in a cage, MLB.com reports.

Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said earlier this month that Arias hit a snag in his rehab, which pushed the infielder's return timeline out. The initial estimate of 4-to-8 weeks lined him up for a late-May return, but his potential activation date has now been pushed out to sometime in June.

Lee went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a hit-by-pitch in Monday's 3-1 loss to the White Sox.

Lee took left-hander Anthony Kay deep on the fourth pitch of the game, and that was all the offense Minnesota could muster Monday. It was just Lee's sixth homer of the season and his first since April 26. Now manning third base for the Twins following Royce Lewis' demotion to Triple-A St. Paul last week, Lee is slashing .256/.313/.411 with the six long balls, 27 RBI, 23 runs scored, three stolen bases and a 13:36 BB:K across 196 plate appearances this season.

Witt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Yankees.

Witt briefly gave Kansas City the lead in the eighth inning, crushing a 432-foot solo homer off Jake Bird in one of the game's biggest moments. The superstar shortstop was scorching hot during the first two weeks of May, batting .400 with a .886 slugging percentage over a nine-game stretch, though he has cooled off recently by hitting .250 across his last 10 contests. Even with the slowdown, Witt continues to produce at an elite level, slashing .294/.360/.481 with eight homers, 14 doubles, 24 RBI, 26 runs scored and 16 stolen bases across 239 plate appearances.
