Rodriguez was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A St. Paul on Monday with a right hip injury, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

It's yet another injury for Rodriguez, who has yet to play 100 games in a season as a professional due to various injuries. The talented 22-year-old has slashed .232/.400/.392 with four home runs and six stolen bases in 39 contests with St. Paul this season.

Sweeney is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

Sweeney will be on the bench for a second straight game, this time against a right-handed starter (Jonathan Cannon) after he was absent from the lineup Sunday while southpaw Kris Bubic took the hill for the Royals. With the recent returns of Wenceel Perez and Parker Meadows from the injured list, the Tigers have less of a need for Javier Baez in the outfield and could use him more frequently at shortstop. As a result, Sweeney could be at risk of falling into more of a timeshare at the position after having occupied the strong side of a platoon for much of the season.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Monday that using Campbell at first base is "nothing that we're planning on doing now," Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Abraham Toro has played well and Romy Gonzalez (quad) was activated from the 10-day injured list earlier Monday, so the Red Sox have less of a need for Campbell at first base. Campbell will still take pregame grounders at the position, but the rookie appears set to stick to playing second base and occasionally center field for the time being.

Torkelson is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

Torkelson appears to be getting a routine day off. Colt Keith will start at first base and bat sixth for the Tigers in Monday's series opener.

The Athletics are slated to recall Bleday from Triple-A Las Vegas, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Bleday was sent down in late May after slashing only .204/.291/.365, but he seemed to get back on track at Las Vegas, going 10-for-27 with a homer in six games. With Tyler Soderstrom handling first base while Nick Kurtz (hip) is out, there could be room for regular playing time in the outfield for both Bleday and Denzel Clarke.

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

Quero will get some rest after he started at either catcher or designated hitter in five of Chicago's previous six contests. Korey Lee will step in behind the plate for the series opener versus Detroit.

The Angels placed Stephenson on the 15-day injured list Monday due to right biceps inflammation.

Stephenson will be eligible to come off the IL on June 15, though it's not clear if he'll be ready to go by then while he recovers from yet another arm injury. The 32-year-old righty had previously missed the entire 2024 season after getting UCL repair surgery last May, and he didn't make his 2025 debut until last week after completing an extended minor-league rehab assignment. The Angels recalled lefty Sam Aldegheri from Double-A Rocket City to replace Stephenson in the bullpen.

The Angels placed Moncada on the 10-day injured list Monday with right knee inflammation.

Moncada injured the knee last Wednesday and had missed two of the last three contests before the Angels decided to make a roster move. It's the second trip to the IL this season for Moncada, who previously missed a month of action with a thumb injury. Luis Rengifo is likely to see the bulk of the starts at third base while Moncada is out.

The Angels recalled Aldegheri from Double-A Rocket City on Monday.

Aldegheri made three starts for the Angels late last season, but he'll be back with the big club for the first time in 2025 after being optioned to the minors early on in spring training. The 23-year-old lefty has continued his development as a starter this season at Rocket City, where he had posted a 4.54 ERA and 1.46 WHIP over 41.2 innings across his eight outings. The Angels don't appear to have an opening in the rotation at the moment, so Aldegheri is likely to slot in as a multi-inning reliever for the time being.

The Tigers designated Cusick for assignment Monday.

The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for outfielder Parker Meadows (arm), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list. The Tigers claimed Cusick off waivers from the Athletics last week, but he made just one appearance for Triple-A Toledo before Detroit booted him off the roster.
