The Astros will recall Gordon from Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday to make his major-league debut against the Royals, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Gordon is off to a stellar start this season with Sugar Land, collecting a 2.55 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 43:8 K:BB over 42.1 innings covering eight starts. The left-hander could make additional starts with the big club after Wednesday's outing, as the Astros plan to temporarily maintain a six-man rotation amidst a stretch of the schedule without off days.

Kwan went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 5-0 win over Milwaukee.

Kwan extended an on-base streak to 11 games on his final at-bat, a single to left field. Cleveland's leadoff batter is 15-for-43 (.349) with seven walks, two steals, three doubles, two RBI and seven runs scored during the streak. Kwan leads the Guardians with a .390 OBP and is second with six stolen bases.

Schneemann started at second base and went 0-for-3 in Monday's 5-0 win over the Brewers.

Schneemann's hot bat since the beginning of May generated more plate appearances for him, and shortstop Brayan Rocchio's demotion to the minors Monday opened up a regular gig. Gabriel Arias will cover short, while Schneemann gets regular starts at second base. Since May 1, Schneemann has a 1.101 OPS with three home runs, two doubles, eight RBI and eight runs scored over 10 contests.

Duran started at shortstop and went 0-for-3 with a run scored in Monday's 2-1 win over the Rockies.

Duran make his second straight start in place of the injured Corey Seager (hamstring). Josh Smith is typically the next man up at shortstop, but he was unavailable Monday due to back soreness. Once or both of Seager and Smith return to action, Duran will likely see fewer opportunities in the Texas infield.

Carter batted leadoff and went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 2-1 win over Colorado.

Carter moved up to leadoff because Josh Smith was unavailable due to back soreness. Carter swiped a base for the second consecutive game and is batting .240/.269/.360 in seven games since his return to the majors.

Burger started at first base and went 1-for-3 in Monday's 2-1 win over the Rockies.

Earlier Monday, Burger was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock, where he spent the previous 10 days and batted .391 over six games. After getting on track in the minors, Burger should get the chance to take back a near-everyday role at first base, as Corey Seager's (hamstring) expected move to the injured list could result in Josh Smith (back) seeing more action at shortstop. Burger has thus far been a disappointment in his first season in Texas, slashing .194/.234/.330 with three home runs and a 29.7 percent strikeout rate over 111 plate appearances.

Polanco went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 11-5 loss to the Yankees.

This was Polanco's first homer in May. He's struggled early this month, going 6-for-31 (.194) over his last nine contests, though three of those hits have gone for extra bases. It's likely some natural regression after his sizzling start to the 2025 campaign. The infielder has a .327/.372/.673 slash line with 10 homers, 29 RBI, 17 runs scored, one stolen base and six doubles over 31 games.

Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 11-5 loss to the Yankees.

Raleigh had gone 5-for-21 (.238) with one double and two RBI, as well as a 9:7 BB:K, over eight games since his two-homer effort versus the Rangers on May 2. The catcher delivered a two-run blast in the eighth inning Monday to cut the deficit to three runs, but the Yankees answered with a three-run ninth. Raleigh sits second in the American League with 13 long balls while adding 27 RBI, 27 runs scored, seven doubles, four stolen bases and a .241/.368/.559 slash line over 40 games.

Rodriguez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 11-5 loss to the Yankees.

Rodriguez has gone 9-for-26 (.346) with two homers, both solo shots, over his last six games. While he's hitting well, the Mariners' offense as a whole has started to falter during a season-worst four-game losing streak. Rodriguez is batting .228 with a .724 OPS, seven homers, 18 RBI, 28 runs scored and five stolen bases across 40 contests in 2025.

Hancock (1-2) allowed seven runs on eight hits and four walks while striking out five over five innings to take the loss Monday versus the Yankees.

Hancock's run of three straight quality starts came to an end as the Yankees got to him. Trent Grisham had a pair of solo shots, and Austin Wells capped a six-run fifth inning with a three-run blast. The three homers allowed matched the total Hancock had given up over his first five starts of the year combined. He's now at a 6.91 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 22:11 K:BB across 28.2 innings over six starts. Hancock will likely get one more turn in the rotation -- a road start at San Diego this weekend -- before ceding his spot to George Kirby (shoulder), though Hancock could stick around as a starter if Logan Gilbert's (elbow) recovery timeline trends toward the end of May or early June.
