MLB Player News

Nimmo was diagnosed Monday with a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder and could require a stint on the injured list, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Nimmo suffered the shoulder injury during a 3-2 win over Toronto on Sunday, when he collided with the outfield wall while securing the game's final out. The Rangers held Nimmo out of the lineup for Monday's series opener in Cleveland while he awaited the results of his medical tests, which revealed the shoulder sprain. Manager Skip Schumaker said that while a trip to the IL is a possibility for Nimmo, the team won't make a final decision until sending him in for more imaging Tuesday.

Lee went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Monday's 7-3 win over the Yankees.

Lee is starting to trend upward, as he's now batting .356 over his last 15 games, and he's tallied five multi-hit performances during that time. The rookie is getting an extended look at second base with Gleyber Torres (oblique) on the injured list. Lee should return to the bench or possibly Triple-A Toledo once Torres is healthy, but for now, Lee is worth a look in deeper formats as long as he stays hot, and his dynasty value seems to be increasing as well.

McGonigle went 2-for-4 with a run scored and two RBI in Monday's 7-3 win over the Yankees.

McGonigle now has at least one hit in 19 of the 24 games he's played this month, and he's batting .281 overall in June, which is right in line with his .284 average for the season. The rookie has been incredibly consistent and productive thus far, and while he did strike out twice Monday, he has only 50 of them across 306 at-bats in 82 contests. The Tigers also batted McGonigle third Monday for just the fifth time this year after he's mostly served as the leadoff man, at least recently. A more permanent move down a few spots in the order could allow the youngster to tally more RBI, though it may slightly decrease how often he comes around to score.

Mize (3-5) earned the win Monday against the Yankees, allowing no runs on one hit and no walks in seven innings. He struck out 10.

After giving up a season-worst eight hits his last time out against the Yankees, Mize bounced back in a huge way during Monday's rematch. The 29-year-old right-hander fanned a season-high 10 in his longest outing of the year, also surrendering a season-low one hit on the evening. Mize will be looking to build on Monday's showing this weekend in Texas, where he'll take an outstanding 2.63 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 68:14 K:BB across 65 innings.

Varland secured the save Monday against the Mets, allowing no runs on one hit and one walk in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out two.

The Mets made Varland work, getting the potential tying and go-ahead runs aboard, but Varland got Ronny Mauricio to strike out to seal the win for Toronto. The hard-throwing right-hander has been a lights-out closer for the Blue Jays since claiming the gig from Jeff Hoffman earlier this year, going a pristine 17-for-17 in save situations. Through 46 innings, Varland boasts a 0.98 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 64:13 K:BB.

Yesavage (4-3) earned the win Monday against the Mets, allowing one run on three hits and no walks in 6.2 innings. He struck out three.

Yesavage had a hard time finding the zone, matching a season low in punchouts while tossing just 57 of his 94 offerings for strikes, but he hung in there for a strong outing overall. The 22-year-old right-hander remains incredibly difficult to hit, giving up fewer than six knocks in each of his first 12 starts for a .185 opponent batting average. Yesavage is slated to finish a two-start week this weekend in Seattle, where he'll bring a 3.34 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 61:30 K:BB over 67.1 innings.

Manaea (1-3) took the loss Monday against the Blue Jays, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out four.

Manaea came one out short of logging what could have been his second quality start of the season, as he's fared a bit better out of the rotation recently as opposed to the bullpen. The 34-year-old left-hander has a 5.02 ERA and 1.44 WHIP over 44 innings as a reliever, but he improved his ERA to 4.05 and his WHIP to 1.20 to go with a 19:5 K:BB across 20 frames as a starter. Manaea is set to wrap up a two-start week over the weekend in Atlanta.

Glasnow (back) has been cleared to begin a throwing program, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

Manager Dave Roberts stated Monday that the club is approaching Glasnow's rehab with caution, so it's not clear at this time when he could resume throwing off a mound. The right-hander has been on the injured list since early May after experiencing lower-back spasms and remains without a clear timetable for a return.

The Yankees announced that Chisholm has been placed in concussion protocol after exiting Monday's game against the Tigers in the fourth inning following a collision with teammate Jasson Dominguez.

He struck out in his lone at-bat before leaving the game. The Yankees haven't confirmed that Chisholm sustained a concussion, but he'll need to pass all the steps of the league's protocol before returning to the diamond. Oswaldo Cabrera came off the bench to replace Chisholm at second base Monday, though Amed Rosario and Jose Caballero could also factor into the mix for playing time at the position if Chisholm misses additional time.

Vukovich (shoulder) was activated from the 60-day injured list June 17.

Vukovich suffered a shoulder injury April 9 while playing for Triple-A Reno, but he managed to return on the front end of his initial 2-to-3 month timetable. He's slashing .308/.438/.577 with two home runs, four RBI and five runs scored in eight games since returning from the IL.
