Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak said that Mathews was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Memphis on Sunday due to left shoulder soreness, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Mozeliak was unwilling to put a timeline on Mathews' return to action. Mathews' velocity was down in his last outing with Memphis on Friday, and he's posted a 6.10 ERA and 7:15 K:BB over his first 10.1 innings this season, so it's possible the shoulder has been nagging at him for a while. The Cardinals will proceed cautiously with the top prospect.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Monday that Ozuna will be unavailable for the team's three-game series in Toronto due to hip inflammation, Barrett Sallee of 680 The Fan reports.

Ozuna was sent back to Atlanta to undergo an MRI, which showed inflammation in the hip but no other serious concerns, per Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He is considered day-to-day but will remain in Atlanta until the team returns home Friday. Bryan De La Cruz will start at designated hitter in Monday's series opener in Toronto.

Hernandez is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Rockies on Monday.

Hernandez has started the season strong, slashing .281/.309/.563 with two stolen bases, five home runs and 16 RBI across 68 plate appearances. He'll get the night off Monday while Michael Conforto, Tommy Edman and Andy Pages man the outfield for the Dodgers.

Perkins (shin) has been running at 70 percent of his body weight on an ultra-gravity treadmill and will be re-evaluated Friday, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

Assuming he checks out well Friday, Perkins should be cleared to advance to the next step in his rehab, although it's not clear exactly what that would be. Out since late February with a fractured right shin, Perkins is still tentatively expected to be ready for his season debut sometime in May.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Monday that Ashby (oblique) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

The lefty will then progress to live batting practice sessions and then pitching in extended spring training games. Assuming that all goes well, Ashby should then be ready for a rehab assignment. The southpaw has been out since early March with a right oblique strain.

Manaea (oblique) resumed playing catch from 60 feet Monday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Manaea was diagnosed with a right oblique strain early in spring training and was placed on the 15-day injured list to begin the season. After struggling in his recovery toward the tail end of camp, Manaea received a platelet-rich plasma injection for his oblique and was shut down from throwing for two weeks. With a recent follow-up MRI showing improvement, Manaea has been cleared to resume his throwing program but will need some extended ramp-up time before he's ready to head out of on a minor-league rehab assignment. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that Manaea will be limited to throwing out to 60 feet for the next 10 days before being reassessed.

Myers (oblique) will make his third and likely final rehab start Friday at Triple-A Nashville, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Myers is projected to throw 65-to-70 pitches Friday and, assuming he comes out of the start with no hiccups, is expected to rejoin the Brewers' rotation next week in San Francisco. The right-hander has been working his way back from a left oblique strain, which he suffered in mid-March.

Diaz is not in the Padres' starting lineup against the Cubs on Monday.

Diaz will be on the bench Monday while Martin Maldonado serves behind home plate and bats ninth against Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon. Diaz has gone 4-for-16 with four walks, two runs scored and two RBI over his last five starts.

Wade is starting in center field and batting eighth against the Cubs on Monday.

Wade appears to be San Diego's top option at center field with Jackson Merrill (hamstring) and Brandon Lockridge (hamstring) both on the 10-day injured list. Wade will make his first major-league start of the season Monday after filling in as a defensive substitute twice during the weekend series against the Rockies. The 30-year-old appeared in 90 regular-season games for the Padres in 2024, slashing .217/.285/.239 with eight stolen bases, 28 runs scored and eight RBI across 155 plate appearances.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Monday that Siri (shin) is still "pretty sore" and will undergo an MRI and CT scan, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Siri fouled a ball off his left shin Saturday against the Athletics and had to be carted off the field. He will go through tests to determine the extent of the damage and the Mets will decide after those results are in whether Siri needs to go on the 10-day injured list. Tyrone Taylor is in center field again for the Mets on Monday versus the Twins.
