Chisholm was removed from Tuesday's game against Kansas City with neck tightness, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Chisholm's neck seemed to be giving him trouble after he swiped third base in the sixth inning of Tuesday's contest, and he was eventually replaced on defense during the seventh. The Yankees will take a closer look at him and should have some more information on his status shortly. If he ends up having to miss additional time, Oswald Peraza would be the favorite to pick up some reps at the hot corner.

The Angels placed Taylor on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left hand fracture.

Taylor suffered the injury when he was struck by a pitch in Monday's win over the Athletics. It's an injury that is likely to keep him out beyond the minimum 10 days.

The Royals placed Massey on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left ankle sprain.

It's not clear when or how Massey was injured, but his playing time had already been trending downward with just two starts over the Royals' last six contests. Tyler Tolbert is taking his roster spot.

Muncy went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a stolen base in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Angels.

Muncy has found his power with three homers over his last four games. He has gone 6-for-21 (.286) across five games since his recall from Triple-A Las Vegas. The infield prospect started slow during his first stint in the majors, but he looks to be putting the pieces together the second time around. He's at a .202/.228/.382 slash line with four homers, 10 RBI, seven runs scored, four doubles and no stolen bases over 92 plate appearances. He has a short-term path to a starting role at third base, but Gio Urshela (hamstring) is set to begin a rehab assignment soon and could pose a threat to Muncy's playing time later in the month.

Gelof (ribs) is expected to be sent out on a minor-league rehab assignment later in the week, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Gelof was cleared to resume a hitting progression at the end of May, and he's since made enough progress to see live at-bats in the minors. The Virginia product hasn't played in a game yet this season, so he'll presumably need at least a handful of appearances in the minors before being activated from the 60-day injured list.

The Guardians optioned Wilson to Triple-A Columbus on Monday.

Wilson had just a .498 OPS and 39 percent strikeout rate over 24 contests during his first stint in the majors. He's clearing out to make room on the roster for the return of Lane Thomas (foot).

LeMahieu went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to Boston on Sunday.

LeMahieu gave New York a one-run lead with a solo shot in the fifth inning, but Boston responded with five runs in the following frame. The long ball was LeMahieu's second of the campaign and his first since May 17. The veteran infielder is slashing a modest .258/.333/.371 on the campaign, though he's been swinging a hot bat since the start of the month, going 9-for-21 (.429 average) with six RBI over six games so far in June.

Muncy went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 5-1 win over Baltimore.

Muncy went yard for the second time in three games, tagging Bryan Baker for a solo shot in the eighth inning. The third baseman spent over a month in Triple-A before being called up June 4, and he's 4-for-17 (.235) with four RBI and six strikeouts since.

Gimenez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Gimenez has gone 4-for-13 with two walks, a double and two runs in four games since coming back from a quadriceps strain, and he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale in Minnesota. Alan Roden will receive a start in the outfield, pushing Addison Barger back to the hot corner and Ernie Clement to second base.

Massey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Massey has now started just two of the Royals' last five games against right-handed pitching. Over his last 10 games, Massey is slashing just .154/.185/.154, bringing his OPS down to .479 for the season.
