MLB Player News

Gimenez is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Phillies.

Gimenez was an everyday player early on in the season, but the left-handed hitter has been out of the lineup against against most southpaws since late April. Ernie Clement will slide over to shortstop for the Blue Jays, and Charles McAdoo will enter the lineup at second base.

Montgomery (back) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

The White Sox will keep Montgomery on the bench for a second straight night while he manages a tight back. Montgomery is being viewed as day-to-day, and at this point, the White Sox haven't indicated that he's at major risk of landing on the injured list. His continued absence from the lineup will open up another start at shortstop for Luisangel Acuna.

Reds manager Terry Francona said Wednesday that De La Cruz (hamstring) is scheduled to take part in infield drills for the second day in a row and will undergo a follow-up MRI on Friday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

If the MRI reveals that De La Cruz has healed from his right hamstring strain as anticipated, he could increase the intensity of his workouts beginning next week. When De La Cruz was first placed on the shelf June 1, Francona indicated that the star shortstop would likely miss around 2-to-4 weeks, and there's little to suggest that his timeline has changed. Matt McLain has taken over as the Reds' primary shortstop since De La Cruz landed on the shelf, which has opened up more work for Edwin Arroyo and Spencer Steer at the keystone.

Giants manager Tony Vitello said that Adames is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals after experiencing some lower-half pain from his "knee to hip" during Tuesday's 6-3 loss, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Despite dealing with some discomfort, Adames still played the full nine innings Tuesday, finishing 0-for-4 with a walk. The veteran shortstop will hit the bench for just the second time all season Wednesday, but Vitello indicated that Adames shouldn't be headed for any further absences. The Giants are hoping that getting a game off from starting coupled with Thursday's off day will provide enough time for Adames to recover from the issue and rejoin the lineup Friday versus the Cubs.

Abrams is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Francisco.

Abrams had started every contest since April 26, but he will receive some well-earned rest during Wednesday's series finale. Nasim Nunez will shift over to shortstop to cover for Abrams, and Jorbit Vivas will handle second base.

Adames is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Nationals.

Adames will get just his second day off of the season and first since April after going 0-for-17 with a 1:9 BB:K over his last four contests. Casey Schmitt will fill in at shortstop for the Giants while Adames gets a breather.

Wilson (thumb) has gone 3-for-9 with two RBI and a 1:2 BB:K in his first three rehab games between High-A Everett and Triple-A Tacoma.

Wilson began his rehab assignment with Everett last Friday and moved up to Tacoma on Tuesday. He's been shelved since early May with a fractured left thumb and could need a few more rehab games before the Mariners consider returning him to their active roster.

Lopez went 3-for-5 with two doubles, one steal, one RBI and four runs scored during the Marlins' 10-6 win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Lopez set a season high in runs scored Tuesday while logging two doubles for the second time in 2026. He also logged his 11th steal of the season, tied with Xavier Edwards for second most on the Marlins behind Jakob Marsee (16). Lopez is having a terrific season at the plate, leading the National League in both batting average (.341) and hits (89) while ranking fourth in both triples (three) and doubles (11).

Paris was promoted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

Paris will move up to the Triple-A level after posting a .200 average with a triple, three doubles, 12 RBI, 12 runs scored and seven stolen bases over 105 at-bats in 31 contests with Double-A Rocket City so far this year. The 24-year-old posted a disappointing .190/.266/.381 slash line with six home runs, 11 RBI, 24 runs scored and seven stolen bases over 44 contests with the Angels in 2025, but he's now just one step away from potentially rejoining the major-league roster down the road this year.

Lindor (calf) will go through full baseball activities this week during the Mets' homestand, Chelsea Janes of SNY.tv reports.

Lindor has been ramping up his activity level recently and will have no major restrictions this week as he continues to crank it up a notch. The star shortstop has been sidelined since late April with a left calf strain, so he is sure to require a rehab assignment before rejoining the Mets' active roster. Those rehab games could come next week if all goes well with Lindor's workouts this week.
