Giants' LaMonte Wade: Heading to injured list
Clevinger was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with right wrist inflammation, retroactive to May 18.
The veteran right-hander was scheduled to start Monday at Minnesota but will now be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks with the wrist issue. The severity of the injury is unclear, so it remains to be seen if Clevinger will have a chance of being reinstated when first eligible in early June.

Phillies' Darick Hall: Closing in on rehab assignment
Phillies manager Rob Thomson told reporters before Friday's game against the Cubs that Hall (thumb) is getting close to starting a rehab assignment, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Thomson notes that Hall hasn't hit live pitching yet, but he is hitting on the field and hitting off HitTrax while also taking groundballs, running and throwing. The first baseman is on the 60-day injured list and is not eligible to return to the Phillies until the early portion of June, but a rehab assignment in the next week or so could put him on track to do just that.

Kody Clemens 2B | MIN
Phillies' Kody Clemens: Hits fourth home run
Clemens went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 12-3 victory over the Cubs.
Clemens took Jameson Taillon deep in the first inning to extend Philadelphia's lead to 6-0. He walked in his next at-bat and singled in the fifth before striking out in his final two plate appearances. Saturday marked Clemens' third multi-hit game this season, which have all come in the past week. Overall, he's slashing .229/.288/.500 with four home runs and eight RBI across 20 games (52 plate appearances).

Joey Votto 1B | TOR
Reds' Joey Votto: Could begin rehab assignment soon
Votto (shoulder) is taking a live batting practice session with Triple-A Louisville on Sunday, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
The Reds and Votto will then determine the next steps for the first baseman, and it's possible that next step could be a rehab assignment. The left-handed hitter is currently on the 60-day injured list and can't be activated until May 30. If he does begin a rehab assignment in the coming days, Votto has a chance to return to the lineup at the end of May, but his timetable should begin to clear up in the coming days.

Matt Olson 1B | ATL
Braves' Matt Olson: Homers again Saturday
Olson went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-3 loss to Seattle.
Olson opened the scoring with the two-run shot in the first inning off Seattle starter Logan Gilbert. The Mariners would score the next seven runs, and Atlanta didn't have time to catch up. Olson has two homers and two doubles while hitting .368 (7-for-19) over his last five games. The slugger is up to 13 long balls, 34 RBI, 37 runs scored and a .243/.373/.538 slash line through 45 contests this season.

Luke Voit 1B | NYM
Brewers' Luke Voit: Begins rehab assignment
Voit (neck) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Saturday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Voit has been on the injured list only since Monday, so the fact that he's already ready for a rehab assignment suggests his neck strain was a minor one. The Brewers signed Darin Ruf to be a right-handed option at first base and designated hitter following Voit's injury, however, so Voit may face some competition in reclaiming his role. He failed to impress prior to landing on the injured list, slashing .221/.284/.265 with zero homers in 74 trips to the plate.

Darick Hall 1B | PIT
Phillies' Darick Hall: Removed from 40-man roster
Hall (thumb) was transferred from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list by the Phillies on Saturday.
The move opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for Dylan Covey, with Covey being claimed by the Phillies on Saturday off waivers from the Dodgers. Hall is currently out of action after undergoing surgery on a torn ligament in his thumb, and he'll be out until at least the middle of June while he recovers.

Paul Goldschmidt 1B | NYY
Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Matches last year's total in steals
Goldschmidt went 0-for-1 with three walks and a stolen base in Friday's 5-0 loss to the Dodgers.
For the second game in a row, Goldschmidt's patience at the plate was rewarded. He's now racked up eight walks, two steals and four runs scored despite going 0-for-10 across his last four games. His seven thefts this season match his total from last year, and he's slashing .301/.407/.514 with seven home runs, 23 RBI and 31 runs scored through 45 contests.

Pete Alonso 1B | BAL
Mets' Pete Alonso: Hammers grand slam
Alonso went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in Friday's win over Cleveland.
Alonso's massive homer tied the game at 7-7 in the seventh inning. He's gone deep in four straight games and has totaled six homers in his last 11 games. The 28-year-old slugger is pacing the league with 17 home runs through 46 games but he's hitting just .233.
