Victor Robles CF | SEA
Mariners' Victor Robles: Doing light baseball work
Robles (pectoral) is participating in light baseball activities, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
The 28-year-old landed on the shelf last week due to a right pectoral strain, and the Mariners are building him back up slowly since it's an injury to his throwing arm. Robles will be eligible to be reinstated Friday but seems likely to require a longer stint on the IL.

The Yankees recalled Chivilli from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.
Acquired from the Rockies in a trade over the offseason, Chivilli has spun 8.1 scoreless innings with a 9:2 K:BB in the early going at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He's taking the roster spot vacated by Yerry De Los Santos, who was sent down to SWB after Tuesday's loss to the Angels.

The 27-year-old outfielder has been productive of late, going 6-for-16 with two RBI, two doubles and a home run over the last four games.

Kilian allowed one hit and one walk while striking out one in a scoreless inning during Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Reds.
Kilian earned a bullpen job during spring training and has continued to impress early in the season. The 28-year-old right-hander tossed a scoreless sixth inning Tuesday and now owns a 1.29 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 10:4 BB:K across seven innings in eight appearances this season.

Juan Soto LF | NYM
Mets' Juan Soto: Begins running progression
Soto (calf) began a running progression Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
The news was dropped by Mets owner Steve Cohen in a social media post on X on Tuesday night. Soto had been swinging a bat in an indoor cage but hadn't yet started running again until Tuesday, as he ramps up his recovery from a calf strain that has kept him sidelined since April 3. The 27-year-old outfielder still doesn't have a clear timeline for his return, but he may not need a rehab assignment and could be back in action as soon as next week.

Thomas Saggese SS | STL
Cardinals' Thomas Saggese: On bench vs. RHP on Wednesday
Saggese is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.
Saggese will hit the bench for a second straight matchup versus a right-handed pitcher (Slade Cecconi) while the Cardinals give Nathan Church a spin in left field. After putting together a recent five-game hit streak in which he went 7-for-16, Saggese has gone hitless with five strikeouts in 10 at-bats over the Cardinals' last three contests.

Tim Tawa 2B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Moving into bench role
Tawa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.
Tawa will take a seat for the second time in three games after he closed out last week with five consecutive starts in left field. While the Diamondbacks could still clear room in the lineup for him when the team faces left-handed pitching, Tawa hasn't helped his case for sticking around in an everyday role, slashing .094/.189/.125 across 38 plate appearances this season.

Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR
Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Socks third homer
Gimenez went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's extra-inning win over the Brewers.
The shortstop took Jacob Misiorowski deep for a solo shot in the fifth inning to get the Blue Jays on the board in what wound up as a 9-7 win in 10 frames. It was Gimenez's third homer of the season in 16 games after he popped just seven in 101 contests last season, and he's slashing .276/.323/.483 with three steals, five runs and 11 RBI.

Mike Trout CF | LAA
Angels' Mike Trout: Continues power surge Tuesday
Trout went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a 7-1 victory over the Yankees on Tuesday.
Trout put the Angels on the board with a solo shot to center field in the first inning that was immediately followed by long balls from Jo Adell and Jorge Soler. The homer was Trout's fifth of the campaign and third over his past two games. The veteran slugger's home runs have come in bunches this season -- he went deep in his first two games of the campaign, but then went 13 games without a homer before belting the trio of long balls over Monday and Tuesday.

Myles Straw CF | TOR
Blue Jays' Myles Straw: Plays hero in 10th inning Tuesday
Straw went 1-for-1 with a double, a run scored and two RBI in Tuesday's extra-inning win over the Brewers.
The depth outfielder pinch ran for Eloy Jimenez in the top of the ninth inning and came around to tie the game at 4-4, but the game got wild from there. Straw came to the plate in the 10th with runners on first and second with the Jays up 7-6, and he brought both home with a two-bagger into the left-field corner in what wound up a 9-7 victory. Straw has been used frequently as a pinch runner and defensive replacement, but he has just 17 plate appearances in 12 games to begin the season, batting .375 (6-for-16) with two RBI and six runs.
