    Rangers' Robert Garcia: Undergoes MRI on shoulder

    Rangers manager Skip Schumaker confirmed Sunday that Garcia underwent an MRI on his sore left shoulder, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

    The Rangers are confident that the results of the testing will show no structural damage, but Garcia is likely to receive an anti-inflammatory injection Monday. The left-hander has not pitched since last Thursday, when he first experienced the issue after throwing a third of an inning. A best-case scenario is having Garcia available for Tuesday or Wednesday against the Pirates.

  • Twins' Connor Prielipp: Joining Minnesota's taxi squad

    Prielipp will join the Twins' taxi squad in New York on Tuesday prior to the team's series against the Mets, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    At this point, the Twins haven't revealed what their plans are for Prielipp, who boasts a 2.30 ERA and 22:8 K:BB over 15.2 innings with Triple-A St. Paul. Prielipp has a pair of Tommy John surgeries on his resume and has never thrown more than 82.2 innings in any professional season, but the southpaw has often been electric when on the bump, posting a 30.6 percent strikeout rate. He's worth a speculative add in fantasy leagues.

  • Red Sox's Connor Wong: Taking seat again Monday

    Wong is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.

    After a stretch of three consecutive starts behind the plate, Wong will end up ceding catching duties to Carlos Narvaez for the second day in a row. With an .885 OPS compared to Narvaez's .449 mark on the season, Wong has been the far more productive hitter of the two, so the Red Sox could still view him as Option 1A at catcher for the time being.

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Grabbing seat Monday

    Baez is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Red Sox.

    Baez had drawn seven consecutive starts, but he'll get a day off for the Patriots' Day game in Boston. Matt Vierling will patrol center field, and Kevin McGonigle will occupy shortstop in the series finale.

  • Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela: Exiting starting nine Monday

    Rafaela is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.

    The Red Sox will give Rafaela a breather for their annual Patriots' Day game, paving the way for Jarren Duran to re-enter the lineup in center field after sitting for the past two contests. Rafaela has posted a career-best .739 through his first 20 games of 2026, though he's yet to provide his usual impact on the basepaths (zero steals in two attempts).

    Guardians' Cooper Ingle: Bops two homers Sunday

    Ingle went 3-for-4 with a walk, two home runs, four RBI and an additional run scored for Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

    Ingle is off to an impressive start for the Clippers, slashing .357/.617/.786 with 18 walks, four home runs and 12 RBI over 47 plate appearances. A .400 BABIP has helped, but Ingle is patient hitter that makes contact, knows how to get on base and rarely strikes out. With just 41 career games at Triple-A, he may not be ready for a promotion, but if Bo Naylor's bat continues to underwhelm (.156/.224/.244), Ingle could make his MLB debut at some point in the near future.

  • Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Sitting out Monday

    Torkelson is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in Boston.

    It's been a dreadful start to the season for Torkelson, who is slashing just .182/.333/.227 and has yet to homer. The Tigers will roll with Colt Keith at first base Monday while Torkelson gets a breather.

  • Guardians' Juan Brito: Snaps slide

    Brito went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's 8-4 win over the Orioles.

    Brito contributed a two-run double to the Guardians' four-run fourth inning. The hit snapped an 0-for-13 slide and his first extra-base hit and RBI since April 8. He's getting regular playing time while Gabriel Arias (hamstring) in on the injured list, but a slash line of .184/.244/263 leaves Brito vulnerable. Daniel Schneemann (.890 OPS) lurks on the 26-man roster, and elite prospect Travis Bazzana is heating up -- .414/.485/.759 in last seven games -- at Triple-A Columbus after a slow start. Brito's also made three errors since arriving in Cleveland, which could prompt a move to replace him.

  • Rece Hinds RF | MIA

    Will Benson RF | CIN

    Reds' Rece Hinds: Adds insurance runs

    Hinds went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's 7-4 extra-inning win over the Twins.

    Hinds gave the Reds a cushion in the top of the 10th inning, when he delivered a two-run double. The outfielder, who was called up from Triple-A Louisville last Tuesday, has had an impact on two consecutive wins. On Saturday, he snapped an 0-for-28 slide in the majors dating back to last season when he drove in a run and scored in a 5-4 win. The righty-batter is sharing right field with Will Benson, and it's not a strict platoon. Four of Hinds' five starts have come against right-handers.

  • Diamondbacks' Adrian Del Castillo: Continues to hit

    Del Castillo served as the designated hitter and went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 10-4 loss to the Blue Jays.

    One of the few positives to take away from the blowout loss was Del Castillo's continued production. He's slashing .333/.353/.545 with 11 RBI over nine games since coming off the injured list. With a third catcher having been called up to help fill-in for the injured Gabriel Moreno (oblique), manager Torey Lovullo can deploy Del Castillo and his bat at DH when James McCann is behind the plate.
