MLB Player News

Perez exited Monday's game versus Atlanta in the top of the fifth inning after previously getting hit by a pitch in the elbow, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Perez was hit with a Spencer Strider fastball in the bottom of the third inning but stayed in the game only to be removed in favor of Freddy Fermin in the top of the fifth. Prior to exiting, Perez was 1-for-1 at the plate with one RBI. The veteran catcher has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball over the last month-plus, slashing .304/.340/.685 with nine home runs, 20 RBI and 14 runs scored over the previous 30 days leading into Monday's contest.

Ibanez went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 5-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Ibanez was recalled from Triple-A Toledo earlier in the day, and he quickly made an impact for the Tigers. The utility player was inserted into the lineup due to his strong splits against lefties, and that decision paid off when he took Arizona starter Eduardo Rodriguez deep in the fourth inning for his third home run of the season. Ibanez will likely settle into a bench role for Detroit, which limits his fantasy upside, but he can do some damage against southpaws.

Dingler went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 5-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Dingler has been in a nice groove lately, as he now has hits in four straight games, with three of them going down as multi-hit performances. Overall, the Detroit catcher is slashing .279/.320/.435 with nine home runs, 29 runs scored and 40 RBI across 80 games. He's been more effective against lefties, sporting an .889 OPS in those matchups, and his long ball Monday came against Arizona southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez. However, Dingler still has a solid .710 OPS against righties, giving him broad fantasy appeal in his starting role.

Moncada (hand) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

Moncada was hit by a pitch Saturday and will now miss his second consecutive contest. X-rays, however, did come back negative, so Moncada continues to be viewed as day-to-day. Kevin Newman will make another start at third base and bat ninth Monday versus Texas. In his first season with the Halos, Moncada is slashing .216/.321/.455 with eight home runs, 22 RBI, 21 runs scored and an 18:39 BB:K across 156 plate appearances. He's played in just 42 games in another injury-riddled campaign.

Bader is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

Bader had started the previous three contests, but he'll get Monday off while the Twins go with the trio of Willi Castro, DaShawn Keirsey and Matt Wallner from left to right in the outfield. The 31-year-old Bader is set to become a free agent this winter and could be moved elsewhere ahead of Thursday's trade deadline.

Vazquez will start at catcher and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Red Sox.

Vazquez will draw a third consecutive start behind the dish, but he'll likely see his playing time scaled back once top backstop Ryan Jeffers (personal) returns from the paternity list. The 34-year-old Vazquez has struggled to get much going offensively in 2025; he'll enter Monday's contest with a .527 OPS, the lowest mark of his 11-year big-league career.

The Twins plan to call Ohl up from Triple-A St. Paul to start or pitch in bulk relief in Tuesday's game versus the Red Sox, Theodore Tollefson of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

Ohl began the season as a reliever at Single-A Fort Myers, but he has been excellent across three levels while splitting time between the bullpen and rotation, posting a 2.17 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 79:10 K:BB over 66.1 frames. The 25-year-old hasn't worked more than four innings or thrown more than 68 pitches in an outing this season, so he will have a relatively limited workload Tuesday.

Rave is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta.

Rave will hit the bench for the series opener after he had started in each of the Royals' last six games while going 3-for-20 with one home run, three walks, five runs and two RBI. MJ Melendez will replace him in left field Monday, but Rave should have a fairly clear path to playing time until Kansas City gets at least one or two of Nick Loftin (concussion), Jac Caglianone (hamstring), Mark Canha (elbow) and Michael Massey (wrist) back from the injured list.

Tauchman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

The left-handed-hitting Tauchman will give way to Austin Slater in right field for the series opener while the Phillies send southpaw Cristopher Sanchez to the hill. A candidate to be moved elsewhere ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, Tauchman has done well to boost his value thus far in the second half. Through seven starts since the All-Star break, he's produced a .303/.343/.667 slash line while smacking three home runs.

Baldwin is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

Michael Taylor will pick up a start in the outfield in place of Baldwin, who had been included in the lineup in five of Chicago's previous six contests. Baldwin has maintained a lowly .615 OPS over 187 plate appearances in the majors this season, but he could nonetheless be in line for a near-everyday role over the final two months of the campaign while the 38-68 White Sox play out the string.
