Rockies' Zach Agnos: Returns to big leagues
Agnos was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Agnos was optioned to Triple-A on Sunday, but he'll be eligible to come back to the big leagues after Jordan Beck (hamstring) was placed on 10-day injured list Monday. Agnos owns a 5.40 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with a 4:3 K:BB across 11.2 frames in May (four appearances).

David Hamilton 3B | MIL
Brewers' David Hamilton: Taking seat against lefty
Hamilton is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.
The left-handed-hitting Hamilton will hit the bench for the second time in three days while the Brewers face off against another lefty starter (Shota Imanaga). With Hamilton taking a seat, Luis Rengifo and Joey Ortiz will serve a Milwaukee's starters on the left side of the infield.

Jordan Lawlar CF | ARI
Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Takes dry swings
Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Monday that Lawlar has resumed light baseball activities after a CT scan showed his fractured right wrist is healing well, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
The activities included taking some dry swings, among other things. Lawlar still has plenty of boxes to check before he's cleared for a rehab assignment, but this was an important step in his rehab process. The 23-year-old is already more than six weeks into an initial 6-to-8 week timetable, and it's unlikely he'll be ready to return within that timeframe.

Jordan Beck RF | COL
Rockies' Jordan Beck: Lands on shelf
Beck was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left hamstring injury, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
It's not clear as to when Beck picked up the hamstring injury, but he'll be forced to miss at least the next 10 days while on the mend. Braxton Fulford was recalled in a corresponding move.

James Outman CF | DET
Twins' James Outman: Filling in for banged-up Buxton
Outman will start in center field and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Astros.
Outman will make his fifth consecutive start Monday, but he'll likely be headed to a bench role if Byron Buxton (hip) avoids a stint on the injured list and returns to the lineup within the next couple days. Though he's been on the roster all season, Outman has logged just 48 plate appearances, slashing .178/.229/.289 with zero home runs and four stolen bases.

Jacob Young CF | WAS
Nationals' Jacob Young: Exits early Monday
Young left Monday's game against the Mets after being hit in the left ribcage by a pitch, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.
Young will presumably be taken to get X-rays after departing Monday's matchup. Joey Wiemer replaced Young in center field and could see more opportunities going forward if Young is forced to miss additional time.

Royce Lewis 1B | MIN
Twins' Royce Lewis: Hitting bench amid rough spell
Lewis is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.
After recently making the tough choice to demote Matt Wallner to Triple-A St. Paul following a rough start to the season, the Twins could be facing a similar decision with Lewis. The 26-year-old has generally stayed healthy this season, but after going 2-for-11 with six punchouts during the Twins' weekend series versus the Brewers, he's now slashing an abysmal .163/.261/.279 with a career-worst 31.1 percent strikeout rate over 119 plate appearances. Tristan Gray will step in at third base Monday in place of the struggling Lewis.

Wyatt Langford LF | TEX
Rangers' Wyatt Langford: Making progress in rehab
Langford did a strength test on his right forearm Sunday and recovered well when re-evaluated Monday, though he hasn't been cleared to resume throwing or hitting yet, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
McFarland notes that it's promising news that Langford felt good after Sunday's strength test, but the 24-year-old still has more hurdles to clear. The fact that he hasn't gotten the green light to resume throwing or a hitting progression likely means he's at least a week away from a return from the 10-day injured list.

Jake Meyers CF | HOU
Astros' Jake Meyers: Activation imminent
Meyers (oblique) will join the Astros in Minneapolis and is slated to be activated from the 10-day injured list during the series against the Twins, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
He will not be active for Monday's series opener, but Meyers could return to action Tuesday. The 29-year-old has been sidelined for more than a month with a right oblique strain but has been cleared to return after playing four rehab contests. Once activated, Meyers should receive the lion's share of starts in center field for Houston.
