Justin Foscue 2B | TEX
Rangers' Justin Foscue: Makes season debut
Foscue started at first base and went 0-for-3 in Monday's 6-0 loss to Baltimore.
Foscue, who was called up from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday, made his season debut for the Rangers. His MLB debut came in April of 2024 but was cut short immediately by an oblique injury. The 14th overall pick in the 2021 First-Year Player Draft, Foscue came up as a second baseman but has since added first base to his profile and could see time there with Jake Burger (oblique) on the 10-day injured list.

Trevor Story SS | BOS
Red Sox's Trevor Story: Goes deep in loss
Story went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored Monday in a loss to the Angels.
Story hit the only homer in the contest for the Red Sox, swatting a 387-foot solo shot to left field in the sixth inning. The multi-hit performance was the veteran shortstop's eighth in June, and he's batting a strong .289 this month with four home runs, 16 RBI and two stolen bases through 19 contests. Story has notched 11 homers and 11 thefts on the season, making him one of seven major-league shortstops to reach double digits in both categories.

Zachary Neto SS | LAA
Angels' Zach Neto: Homers, swipes bag in victory
Neto went 3-for-4 with a home run, two total runs, two total RBI and a stolen base in a 9-5 win against the Red Sox on Monday.
Neto opened the Angels' half of the first inning with a solo blast to center field, and he notched a second RBI in the same frame when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. The long ball was his second in as many games, as he belted a solo blast in his lone plate appearance as a pinch hitter Sunday. Neto is up to a .278/.322/.498 slash line on the campaign, and with 12 homers and 13 steals, he's one of seven big-league shortstops to reach double digits in both categories.

Walker Buehler SP | SD
Red Sox's Walker Buehler: Issues seven walks Monday
Buehler gave up five runs on three hits and seven walks while striking out three batters over four innings in a no-decision against the Angels on Monday.
Buehler couldn't harness his control in the outing, throwing just 46 of 94 pitches for strikes and handing out a career-high seven free passes. Four of those walks came in the first inning, when Buehler also hit two batters and gave up all five of the runs on his line. The veteran right-hander has had a terrible June, posting an 11.57 ERA with a 14:14 K:BB through four starts spanning 16.1 frames. That's pushed his season ERA up to an ugly 6.29, and it's fair to wonder if Boston will intervene and try to find a way to get him back on track.

Jack Kochanowicz SP | LAA
Angels' Jack Kochanowicz: Labors through five frames
Kochanowicz allowed four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out one batter over five innings in a no-decision against Boston on Monday.
Though Kochanowicz issued only two free passes, he threw just 49 of 84 pitches for strikes. The right-hander also tied a season low with one punchout, though he notched a solid 13 whiffs. This was far from Kochanowicz's best outing, but on the plus side he avoided giving up a homer for the first time in his past five starts. Kochanowicz has managed to hold onto a role at the back of the Angels' rotation despite posting a mediocre 5.49 ERA through 16 starts, and he's tentatively slated to face the Nationals the next time he takes the mound.

Angels' Kenley Jansen: Avoids significant injury
Jansen left Monday's game against Boston due to a cramp in his right pectoral, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Jansen is expected to be fine after leaving Monday's game unexpectedly. The club will presumably check on him again in the morning, but Jansen stated in the clubhouse after the game that he'll be available for Tuesday's matchup, per Bollinger.

Angels' Kenley Jansen: Exits with injury
Jansen left Monday's game against the Red Sox with an apparent injury, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
Jansen's velocity was notably down upon entering the game, and he left with the team trainer after throwing four pitches. The right-hander can be considered day-to-day until the team has more information to share on his availability moving forward.

Jorge Mateo 2B | TB
Orioles' Jorge Mateo: Rehab assignment on tap for Tuesday
Mateo (elbow) is set to begin a minor-league rehab assignment at Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, MLB.com reports.
Mateo is entering the final stages of his recovery from left elbow inflammation. The 30-year-old speedster has a chance to rejoin Baltimore's roster before the end of June, but he should be able to return in early July at the latest. Mateo primarily served as a pinch runner and defensive specialist prior to going down, having slashed .180/.231/.279 with one home run, three doubles, three RBI and 14 stolen bases over 65 plate appearances.

Allan Winans SP | NYY
Yankees' Allan Winans: Stumbles in season debut
Winans (0-1) yielded four runs on five hits over 4.1 innings Monday, striking out one and taking a loss against the Reds.
Winans worked through three scoreless innings before falling apart in the fourth. The Reds plated three runs in the frame, capped off by Gavin Lux's solo shot, before adding another run in the fifth inning. Winans was promoted from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for Monday's outing and threw only 62 pitches before getting the hook. As things stand, he will likely be sent back down rather than sticking around in the rotation.
