  • Romy Gonzalez DH | BOS

    Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Resuming rehab assignment Tuesday

    Gonzalez (shoulder/hip) will resume a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Worcester, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

    Gonzalez has been out all season following left shoulder surgery, and he had to have his rehab assignment paused over the weekend due to a sore left hip flexor. He is feeling well enough to return to action Tuesday, and Gonzalez could rejoin Boston's active roster before the end of June.

  • Brenton Doyle CF | COL

    Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Ready for rehab games

    Doyle (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Doyle has missed the last month of action with an oblique injury but has progressed enough to play in rehab games. It's unlikely Doyle will be ready to return by this weekend when the Rockies have a brief three-game road trip, but he could be back next week then the club starts another homestand.

  • Jordan Beck LF | COL

    Rockies' Jordan Beck: Cleared for rehab assignment

    Beck (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Beck has been shelved since mid-May with a left hamstring strain but is ready to test things out in a game setting. Since he's missed more than a month of action, Beck is likely to require a handful of rehab contests before returning to the Rockies' active roster.

  • Red Sox's Garrett Crochet: Not cleared to throw yet

    Crochet (shoulder/lat) has not yet been cleared to resume a throwing program following a scheduled re-evaluation Monday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

    Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said that Crochet's left shoulder and lat are "improving," but not enough that he's ready to throw. Crochet landed on the injured list in late April with left shoulder inflammation and then encountered a setback in early June when he sustained a low-grade left lat strain. The southpaw has been throwing a plyometric ball, but a timetable for his return won't become clearer until he ramps up a throwing program.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Receiving night off

    Moreno is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

    Moreno will get a breather for the series opener in St. Louis after he went 1-for-3 with a walk while playing eight innings behind the dish in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Twins. Adrian Del Castillo will handle catching duties for Arizona on Monday.

  • Orioles' Samuel Basallo: Absent from lineup

    Basallo is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.

    Basallo will get a well-earned breather after starting each of the previous 10 contests, including the last four at catcher. It will be Sam Huff doing the catching and batting ninth in Monday's series opener.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Held out again Monday

    Holliday (groin) remains out of the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Angels.

    Holliday will miss a second straight start as he deals with groin tightness. He is considered day-to-day for the time being. Jeremiah Jackson will again cover second base in Holliday's stead.

  • Kodai Senga SP | NYM

    Mets' Kodai Senga: Mets-Cubs postponed Monday

    Senga will no longer start Monday against the Cubs after the game was postponed due to inclement weather in New York, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    The game will be made up as part of a split doubleheader Wednesday. The Mets will keep their rotation in order following the postponement, with Senga moving back a day in the schedule to start Tuesday's series opener, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.

  • Tristan Gray SS | MIN

    Twins' Tristan Gray: Losing playing time to Kreidler

    Gray is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.

    On the bench for a third straight game against a right-handed starting pitcher, Gray appears to have lost hold of his strong-side platoon role at shortstop. The Twins will once again turn shortstop over to the hot-hitting Ryan Kreidler, who has earned himself more opportunities by producing an .880 OPS since Minnesota recalled him from Triple-A St. Paul on May 14.

  • Shota Imanaga SP | CHC

    Cubs' Shota Imanaga: Cubs-Mets postponed Monday

    Imanaga won't make his scheduled start Monday versus the Mets after the game was postponed due to inclement weather in New York, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Wednesday. Imanaga has now had starts postponed for two consecutive days, as the Cubs' home game Sunday versus the Blue Jays was also rained out. The southpaw will now take the ball during one of the doubleheader games Wednesday, as the Cubs will stick with Edward Cabrera as their scheduled starter Tuesday, per Vinnie Duber of the Chicago Sun-Times.
