    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Suffers shoulder sprain Sunday

    Wilson was diagnosed with a left shoulder sprain after exiting Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Orioles, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Wilson went 1-for-2 with a base hit before leaving the game midway through the fifth inning, when he hurt his shoulder while diving at a Gunnar Henderson grounder that fell in for an infield single. The Athletics are set to send Wilson in for an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of his shoulder sprain, clouding the shortstop's status ahead of the team's six-game week. Darell Hernaiz replaced Wilson at shortstop during Sunday's game and could be in line for an everyday role in the middle infield if Wilson requires a stint on the injured list.

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Exits with apparent shoulder issue

    Wilson was removed from Sunday's game at Baltimore due to an apparent left shoulder injury, Jason Burke of SI.com reports.

    Wilson sustained the injury in the bottom of the fifth inning on a dive to his left, and he was unable to finish the frame. The 24-year-old went 1-for-2 with a single prior to exiting the contest. Wilson should be considered day-to-day until the Athletics update his status.

  • David Hamilton 3B | MIL

    Brewers' David Hamilton: Exiting starting nine Sunday

    Hamilton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

    The left-handed-hitting Hamilton will hit the bench for the second time in the series while the Yankees send another southpaw (Carlos Rodon) to the hill. Joey Ortiz will step in for Hamilton at shortstop and will bat ninth.

  • Leonardo Rivas 3B | SEA

    Mariners' Leo Rivas: Returning to backup role

    Rivas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

    Rivas will be on the bench for the second time in three games and appears set for a utility role after Brendan Donovan's recent return from the injured list. While Donovan was on the shelf, Rivas served as the Mariners' primary third baseman but provided little fantasy value in that capacity. For the season, he's batting just .141 with no home runs, two stolen bases, seven RBI and eight runs over 112 plate appearances.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Surgery on tap Monday

    Correa is scheduled to undergo surgery Monday in Houston to repair the tendon in his left ankle, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    The Astros could provide an official timeline for Correa's return once surgery is completed, but the veteran infielder has already been ruled out for the season and is expected to require around 6-to-8 months to fully recover from the procedure. Correa slashed .279/.369/.418 with three home runs, one stolen base, 16 RBI and 22 runs over 141 plate appearances in 32 games before suffering the ankle injury in batting practice prior to Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Dodgers.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Rehab assignment on tap

    Pena (hamstring) is expected to begin a minor-league rehab assignment Tuesday or Wednesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    The 28-year-old shortstop ran the bases with no issues this weekend, which was the final hurdle in his rehab program before playing in games. Pena shouldn't require a lengthy rehab assignment and could be back with the Astros next weekend or early the following week.

  • Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Taking seat Sunday

    jackson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    While starting the last four games, Jackson went just 2-for-14 at the dish, dropping his season batting average to .246. Blaze Alexander will step in at second base Sunday in place of Jackson, who has been a near-everyday player for most of the season but could soon be at risk of falling into a part-time role due to Jackson Holliday (hand) moving closer to a return from the injured list.

  • Darell Hernaiz SS | ATH

    Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Ceding third base to Gelof

    Hernaiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

    He appeared to have a clear path to regular playing time at third base after Max Muncy (hand) was placed on the injured list in late April, but Zack Gelof has since overtaken Hernaiz as the preferred option at the hot corner. Gelof will occupy the position for a fifth straight game after Hernaiz went 1-for-13 with a 3:4 BB:K to begin the month of May.

  • Diamondbacks' Kayson Cunningham: Lands on 7-day IL

    Cunningham was placed on the 7-day injured list at Low-A Visalia on Friday and is in the concussion protocol, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

    Cunningham was involved in a batting practice incident that led to him landing on the IL. The 19-year-old shortstop is slashing .394/.487/.485 with an 18:15 K:BB over 118 plate appearances for the Rawhide.

  • Jordan Lawlar SS | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Scheduled for imaging

    Lawlar will undergo imaging this week to determine how his broken right wrist is healing, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

    Once the team assesses the state of Lawlar's wrist, they can determine how to proceed with his ramp-up. An earlier report indicated he was doing as much baseball activity as possible without using his right wrist, but that would change with encouraging results from the imaging. Lawlar is scheduled to return in early June.
