Smith was promoted to Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Emily Waldon of Baseball America reports.

Smith has performed well through his first 12 appearances of the 2025 campaign at Double-A Erie, posting a 1.80 ERA and 0.80 WHIP with 27 strikeouts over 20.0 innings. He's found success strictly in a relief role this season after making 13 starts a season ago at High-A West Michigan.

Baez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Baez will cede his spot in the lineup to Akil Baddoo, who gets the nod in left field while Riley Greene shifts over to Baez's usual spot in center. The eventual returns of Matt Vierling (shoulder), Wenceel Perez (back) and Parker Meadows (arm) will make it tougher for Baez to see consistent playing time in the outfield, but the 32-year-old has certainly done his part thus far to continue seeing regular starts. Baez has maintained a .283/.309/.604 slash line thus far in May, and his .811 OPS on the season represents his best mark since 2021.

Keirsey is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

With injuries mounting for the Twins in recent days, Keirsey has been one of the main beneficiaries. He started in each of the last five games, going 3-for-19 with a home run and a stolen base during that stretch. Until the Twins get one of Byron Buxton (concussion) or Matt Wallner (hamstring) back from the injured list, the left-handed-hitting Keirsey could have a regular spot in the outfield against right-handed pitching, but Keirsey will hit the bench Monday while southpaw Logan Allen toes the rubber for Cleveland.

Vazquez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

Due in large part to injuries decimating the Twins' depth in recent days, Vazquez had started at catcher in each of the last three games, while top backstop Ryan Jeffers served as the team's designated hitter in all of those contests. However, with Harrison Bader returning from a groin injury Saturday and with Willi Castro (knee) back in the lineup Monday after a two-game absence, Vazquez will retreat to the bench. Vazquez's playing time could be more sporadic moving forward while Jeffers likely sees most of his starts behind the dish and the Twins instead opting to rotate a number of players at the DH spot.

Clemens is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

Though he'll exit the lineup with southpaw Logan Allen taking the hill for Cleveland, the left-handed-hitting Clemens appears to have temporarily settled into a regular starting role versus righties while injuries have begun to mount for Minnesota. Clemens started in each of the Twins' last five games, going 8-for-19 with two home runs, one double, two walks, six RBI and an additional run.

Andujar was scratched from the Athletics' lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.

Andujar was originally slated to start at third base, but Gio Urshela will be the one starting at the hot corner and batting ninth. The Athletics have yet to provide a reason for the lineup change.

Schneemann is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

Schneemann will hit the bench for the first time since May 10, ending a streak of seven consecutive starts. Angel Martinez will fill in at second base in place of Schneemann, who has earned an everyday role by slashing .265/.339/.500 with six home runs and 13 RBI over 110 plate appearances on the season.

Mize (hamstring) threw a five-inning simulated game Monday and is on track to return from the 15-day injured list to start Saturday against the Guardians, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

The Tigers lost Reese Olson (finger) to the 15-day IL on Monday but will get some reinforcement with Mize poised to return this weekend. Mize has been shelved since mid-May with a left hamstring strain.

The Tigers recalled Lee from Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

He's taking the roster spot vacated by Reese Olson (finger), who was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday. Lee has permitted only one run with a 9:4 K:BB over nine innings during his multiple stints in the majors this season.

Bradfield (hamstring) went 2-for-13 with two steals and three runs scored across four games with High-A Aberdeen during their series against Hudson Valley last week.

Bradfield landed on the 7-day injured list early April due to a left hamstring injury. He appeared in three games for the Orioles' Florida Complex League before shifting over to High-A, and the 23-year-old could be close to returning to Double-A Chesapeake barring any setbacks. Bradfield went 7-for-18 with two steals and one RBI in his first six games in Double-A before his injury.
