The Guardians will recall Rocchio from Triple-A Columbus prior to Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

It's not clear at this point what the corresponding move will be. Rocchio was up with the big club briefly last month but didn't make an appearance. The 22-year-old is batting .338/.396/.487 with one home run and 10 stolen bases at Columbus this season. Rocchio has played both middle-infield spots in 2023 and has some experience at third base, as well. The top prospect would make for an interesting fantasy add if he played regularly, but there wouldn't seem to be a path to that right now.

Mateo went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 9-5 loss to the Angels.

His walk Monday was his first time on base in his last five games. With his bat slumping, Mateo could be at risk of seeing his playing time slip. Despite an 0-for-16 skid, he's still slashing .259/.309/.473 with 13 steals, six home runs, 20 RBI and 24 runs scored through 35 contests. His defense is also strong enough to keep him in the mix at shortstop.

Amaya is slashing .362/.423/.553 through 52 plate appearances in May for Triple-A Jacksonville with four doubles, a triple, a homer and a 5:6 BB:K.

The 24-year-old may not ever be a true asset as a hitter in the majors, but Amaya's glove is big-league ready and all he really needs to do is demonstrate he won't be a liability at the plate before he'll get a chance to take over as the Marlins' starting shortstop. That could happen before the All-Star break, considering that Joey Wendle has had trouble staying healthy and has gone 3-for-28 (.107) to begin the season when he has been in the lineup.

Abrams went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and one steal in Monday's 10-3 win over the Mets.

Abrams recorded his third straight multi-hit game Monday, and during that stretch, he's hit two home runs and collected five RBI. Across 39 games (142 plate appearances), the shortstop is slashing .258/.305/.417 with four home runs, 22 RBI and 16 runs scored. He's also 5-for-7 in stolen-base attempts. Despite some occasional struggles, Abrams figures to be an everyday player for the Nationals, who are currently in last place in the NL East.

Reyes started at shortstop and went 2-for-4 and was caught stealing in Monday's 10-1 loss to Seattle.

Reyes spelled Enrique Hernandez (hamstring) for a second consecutive game after making his Boston debut at second base Saturday. He also finished out the game on the mound, which included 13 eephus pitches (a low of 34.4 mph) among his 21 offerings. He's hit in all three starts, going 5-for-10 with a walk and a double. Red Sox manager Alex Cora is hopeful Hernandez could return Tuesday.

Arcia went 2-for-2 with a home run, a double, two walks, three total runs and two total RBI in Monday's 12-0 win over the Rangers.

Arcia's perfect game at the plate included a two-run homer and a double that came before Ronald Acuna's two-run shot. Before Monday, Arcia hadn't gone deep since April 6 against San Diego, though he missed nearly a month soon thereafter with a wrist injury. The shortstop is slashing a robust .333/.395/.551 with three homers, 10 RBI and 14 runs through 20 games on the season.

Edman went 4-for-5 with a home run, four total runs and two total RBI against the Brewers in an 18-1 win Monday.

The Cardinals racked up 16 hits in the rout, and Edman was responsible for a quarter of those with his first four-hit performance of the campaign. Two of his hits came in the eighth inning, as he led off the 10-run frame with a solo homer and later notched a two-run single. This was a much-needed big game for the second baseman, as he had gone just 3-for-24 over his previous eight contests.

Schmitt went 2-for-4 with a double in Monday's 6-3 victory over the Phillies.

For the first time in his brief career, Schmitt didn't have a hit Sunday. He responded with his fifth multi-hit game of the season Monday. He's only played in seven games. He's slashing a hilarious .464/.464/.821 to start his career. Even with Brandon Crawford back in the lineup, Schmitt is likely to stick around with this incredible production.

Perdomo went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, two runs scored and a walk in Monday's win over the Athletics.

Perdomo got the scoring started with a two-run blast in the second inning. He later added an insurance run in the fourth inning. The 23-year-old was stuck in a 1-for-19 slump since his last multi-hit game May 3. Perdomo improved his slash line to an impressive .341/.426/.545 with 11 extra-base hits and 20 RBI through 32 games.

Diaz is out of the starting lineup against the Diamondbacks on Monday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Diaz was just activated off the injured list Sunday and logged two hits in his return from his hamstring injury, but he'll get a day off Monday against Merrill Kelly and the D-Backs. Nick Allen will play shortstop and hit ninth while Jace Peterson is hitting seventh and playing third base.
