De Vries (finger) went 0-for-4 with one walk and one run scored during Sunday's 9-6 loss to Double-A Northwest Arkansas.

De Vries missed a few days of action at the end of May after picking up a bone bruise on his right ring finger, but he managed to avoid a trip to the injured list. He returned to the field May 29 and is batting .276 with three RBI, two stolen bags and six runs scored in eight games since suffering the finger injury.

The Angels recalled Guzman from Triple-A Salt Lake and he will start at second base and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Astros.

The Angels needed more depth in the infield after placing both Vaughn Grissom (oblique) and Adam Frazier (elbow) on the 10-day injured list, so Guzman and Trey Mancini will both join the big club's 26-man roster. Guzman appeared in 13 major-league games for the Angels in 2025 and went 8-for-42 (.190) with two home runs and three RBI. He's been far more productive at the plate in Triple-A, where he has a .336/.403/.571 slash line with nine steals (in 13 attempts), 12 home runs and 57 RBI in 268 plate appearances.

The Athletics optioned Hernaiz to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

The Athletics had to make room on the 26-man roster after Max Muncy (hand) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Monday, and Hernaiz was selected to move down to Triple-A. He has a .606 OPS with three steals, one home run and seven RBI over 134 plate appearances this season but has gone 3-for-26 (.115) across his last nine games. Hernaiz will work on his approach at the plate with Las Vegas and could return to the big club should the Athletics need depth in the infield.

Lux (shoulder) is scheduled to take live batting practice against teammate Craig Kimbrel (wrist) on Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The Rays announced May 12 that Lux was pulled off his minor-league rehab assignment due to left shoulder inflammation, after it was a right shoulder impingement sustained back in the spring that initially caused him to open the season on the shelf. Lux had been shut down from all baseball activities shortly after experiencing the setback, but the Rays' decision to clear him to face live pitching Tuesday suggests that he's been able to ramp back up over the last week or so. Tampa Bay hasn't provided any indication regarding when Lux might resume his rehab assignment, however, so his return from the 60-day IL shouldn't be viewed as imminent.

The Astros placed Allen on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a left hamstring strain.

Allen was removed from Sunday's game against the Athletics after tweaking his hamstring while running out a grounder, and an MRI revealed a strain. It's unclear how severe the strain is, but even a mild one has the potential to keep Allen out beyond the minimum 10 days.

The Mariners placed Crawford (hand) on the 10-day injured list Monday.

Seattle is continuing to classify Crawford's injury as a right hand contusion rather than a sprain or fracture, but the bruise is evidently painful enough for the veteran infielder that the Mariners opted to shut him down through at least the rest of the week. While Crawford is on the shelf, Colt Emerson is slated to serve as Seattle's primary shortstop, which will open up third base for Patrick Wisdom.

Crawford (hand) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

The Mariners will keep Crawford on the bench for a third straight game while he's still tending to a bruised right hand, which stems from him being hit by a 95.6-mph fastball during Friday's 7-3 loss to the Tigers. With Crawford taking a seat, the Mariners will once again go with Colt Emerson at shortstop and Patrick Wisdom at third base.

The Rays optioned Dunn to Triple-A Durham on Monday.

Dunn made only one start during his two-plus weeks with the big club and was just 1-for-11 at the plate in nine contests. He's being sent out in favor of Austin Slater.

Wilson (shoulder) went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored Sunday with Triple-A Las Vegas.

Making his second rehab appearance while working back from a left shoulder subluxation, Wilson led off the bottom of the first inning with a double and came around to score later in the frame. Prior to being shelved, the shortstop hit .292/.311/.398 with three homers, eight doubles, 19 RBI, 18 runs and two stolen bases across 39 appearances. It's unclear how much time the Athletics plan to give Wilson at Triple-A Las Vegas, though a return to the big-league club sometime this week remains possible.

The Angels will recall Guzman from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Guzman has been enjoying the favorable hitting environments of the Pacific Coast League, slashing .336/.403/.571 with 12 home runs and nine stolen bases in 268 plate appearances with Salt Lake so far this season. Whiffs were a major problem in his first cup of coffee in the majors last season, as he fanned in more than half of his 42 at-bats, but Guzman has cut his strikeout rate down considerably at the Triple-A level. The 22-year-old could get a look at third base for the last-place Angels while Yoan Moncada (knee) is on the injured list.
