The Nationals selected House's contract from Triple-A Rochester on Monday. He will start at third base and bat sixth in the Nationals' series opener versus the Rockies.

Reports surfaced Sunday indicating that House was on his way to the big leagues, and the move is now official. The top prospect earned a promotion after slashing .304/.353/.519 with 13 home runs in 65 contests with Rochester. He will take over as the Nationals' everyday third baseman.

Schobel was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A St. Paul due to a fractured right forearm, TwinsDaily.com reports.

Schobel was hitting .229/.357/.429 with a home run in 11 games since being promoted to Triple-A. The 68th overall pick in the 2022 First-Year Player Draft was promoted after hitting .295/.375/.470 with seven home runs and seven stolen bases in 49 games at Double-A Wichita. He'll likely be out several months.

Walls went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored Sunday against the Mets.

Walls lost playing time at shortstop for roughly a two-week stretch from May 21 to June 4. However, he's been in the lineup for eight of Tampa Bay's last 10 games and gone 10-for-27 with six runs scored, eight RBI and one stolen base in that stretch. Walls started two of three games in the team's weekend series against the Mets and scored three runs with two RBI.

Tovar (oblique) resumed jogging Saturday, MLB.com reports.

This isn't a substantial step forward for Tovar, though it marks his first activity since landing on the injured list June 6. The Rockies haven't given a timeline for his return, but they are reportedly taking a cautious approach.

Ritter went 1-for-3 with a walk and three runs scored Sunday against Atlanta.

Ritter singled in the seventh inning, giving him one hit in seven of his eight starts since his promotion June 6. This marked the first multi-run game of his career, and he's also chipped in four RBI. While Ritter is getting decent results in the short term, he's also striking out at a 40.3 percent clip across 32 plate appearances.

Turner went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored Sunday's 11-4 victory over Toronto.

It was the fourth multi-game of the month so far for Turner, who rapped his eighth extra-base hit of June. The All-Star shortstop has been a force atop the Phillies' lineup -- he's slashing .311/.374/.553 with 14 extra-base knocks, 16 RBI, 20 runs scored and nine stolen bases over his last 115 plate appearances (25 games). Turner has nine multi-hit efforts during that stretch, and he's recorded at least one hit in 19 of those contests.

Henderson went 2-for-3 with a double, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's 11-2 win over the Angels.

Henderson pushed his hitting streak to eight games, and he's now tallied at least one knock in 11 of his last 13 outings. The All-Star shortstop is batting a sizzling .383 this month, adding one homer, two doubles, five RBI, six runs scored and three stolen bases thus far. Henderson is already up to six multi-hit efforts in June.

Crawford went 1-for-3 with a grand slam and a walk in Sunday's 6-0 win over the Guardians.

Crawford dominated this three-game set versus Cleveland, going 7-for-11 with two extra-base hits and three walks. The shortstop had the biggest hit of Sunday's contest when he went deep for a second-inning grand slam that gave the Mariners a 5-0 lead at the time. Crawford is now batting .296 with an .824 OPS, six homers, 29 RBI, 30 runs scored, 10 doubles and four stolen bases over 68 games. He's hit well since late May, so he's in little danger of losing the leadoff spot any time soon.

The Nationals are expected to call up House from Triple-A Rochester ahead of Monday's series opener versus the Rockies, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

House has been on a heater at Triple-A, batting .365 with three home runs over 12 games in June. The 22-year-old is widely viewed as one of Washington's top hitting prospects, and on the season, he owns a .304/.353/.519 slash line with 13 home runs in 65 contests with Rochester. Jose Tena was sent down to Triple-A after the Nationals' 3-1 loss to Miami on Sunday, clearing the way for House to begin his time in the big leagues as the team's primary option at third base. House may need to get off to a good start with Washington to hold off Amed Rosario and Paul DeJong (orbital) for playing time at the hot corner over the balance of the season.

De La Cruz went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer, an additional RBI and three total runs scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over Detroit.

De La Cruz has home runs in four straight contests and at least one hit in his last six -- he's gone 12-for-26 (.461) with six extra-base hits in that span. De La Cruz's recent hot stretch has boosted his slash line to .273/.352/.498 with 16 homers, 50 RBI, 57 runs scored and 20 stolen bases through 310 plate appearances this year.
