Tim Anderson 2B | LAA
Marlins' Tim Anderson: Returns from bereavement list
The Marlins activated Anderson (personal) from the bereavement list Monday.
Anderson missed the weekend series against the Guardians but will be back in action as the Marlins travel to New York to play the Mets beginning Tuesday. With a .188/.221/.206 slash line, Anderson has been one of the worst-hitting regulars in baseball this season.

Nick Ahmed SS | TEX
Giants' Nick Ahmed: Working out after brief shutdown
Ahmed (wrist) resumed full baseball activities at the Giants' spring training complex in Arizona over the weekend and could soon head back out on a minor-league rehab assignment, MLB.com reports.
Ahmed was placed on the 10-day injured list May 10 with a left wrist sprain but was cleared to head out on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on June 1. The veteran shortstop appeared in just one game, however, before he experienced a setback with his wrist, resulting in him being shut down for about a week. Given the brevity of his shutdown period, Ahmed shouldn't have to wait too long before rejoining a minor-league affiliate, but his return from the IL could still be a week away, if not longer. Brett Wisely and Casey Schmitt should continue to hold down the fort at shortstop for the Giants until Ahmed is ready for activation.

J.P. Crawford SS | SEA
Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Pops sixth homer
Crawford went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in an extra-inning win over the Royals on Sunday.
Crawford got the Mariners off on the right foot with his leadoff solo shot, his second in as many games. The veteran shortstop extended his hitting streak to six games in the process, making it arguably his best offensive stretch of a season that now sees him carrying a .226/.308/.396 slash line through 42 games.

C.J. Abrams SS | WAS
Nationals' CJ Abrams: Collects steal No. 10
Abrams went 1-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's win over Atlanta.
The shortstop came through with one of the big blows in a seven-run fourth inning for the Nationals, smashing a bases-loaded double into the right-field corner, and Abrams then promptly stole third base. The two-bagger was his 12th of the season while the steal was his 10th, and Abrams might be coming out of his prolonged slump -- he's hit safely in four straight games and five of the last six with three extra-base hits (two doubles and a homer), two steals, three runs and five RBI.

Orlando Arcia SS | MIN
Braves' Orlando Arcia: On base three times Sunday
Arcia went 1-for-2 with two walks and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Nationals.
It's the first time all season the veteran shortstop has drawn multiple free passes in a game. Arcia's rough start to the year has continued into June, and through eight games this month he's batting just .207 (6-for-29), but three of those hits have gone for extra bases -- two doubles and a homer.

Paul DeJong SS | DET
White Sox's Paul DeJong: Keeps mashing
DeJong went 2-for-3 with a double and a three-run home run during Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Red Sox in 10 innings.
DeJong has been on a tear across the White Sox's last three series, launching five homers in nine games, and Sunday's multi-hit performance was his fourth during that stretch. The veteran shortstop is amidst a bit of a career revival during his first season in Chicago, slashing .238/.287/.482 -- each mark of which would be his best since 2020.

David Hamilton SS | MIL
Red Sox's David Hamilton: Homers, swipes another bag
Hamilton went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run during Sunday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the White Sox.
Hamilton clubbed his third home run of the season Sunday, taking Chris Flexen yard in the fifth inning. He also scored the game-tying run in the ninth, reaching on a double off Tanner Banks and stealing third base before scoring on a sac fly by Reese McGuire. Hamilton finished the four-game series against the White Sox having gone 6-for-17 (.353) with four stolen bases, two doubles, a homer and three runs scored.

Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Twins' Carlos Correa: Reaches base four times
Correa went 3-for-5 with a walk, two runs scored and two RBI in Sunday's 11-5 win over the Pirates.
Correa plated two on a 10th-inning single, scoring later in the frame to cap off a seven-run inning for the Twins. The 29-year-old notched his third multi-hit effort over his past four games, reaching base four times in Sunday's win. Correa owns a solid .265/.335/.441 slash line, but he has provided limited power with just five home runs and 26 RBI in 47 games played.

Trea Turner SS | PHI
Phillies' Trea Turner: Closing in on return
Turner (hamstring) said Sunday he's "getting close" to returning from the 10-day injured list, and it's possible he's activated within the next week, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Manager Rob Thomson indicated the shortstop is running at about 75-to-80 percent of full speed, which makes a return this week seem less likely. Turner isn't expected to embark on a rehab assignment before being reinstated, however, which shortens his potential return timeline. The 30-year-old will attempt to get back to running full speed this week in Boston, which could be one of the final hurdles before he's cleared for game action.

Max Schuemann 2B | NYY
Athletics' Max Schuemann: Records fourth steal in loss
Schuemann went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in a loss to the Blue Jays on Saturday.
The Athletics fell victim to Kevin Gausman's first career shutout and went down on strikes 10 times against the veteran right-hander, so Schuemann's performance is one that passes for a successful one in that context. The rookie now has singles in back-to-back games and is enjoying a solid June thus far, producing a .348 average and .766 OPS across his first 24 plate appearances of the month (seven games).
