  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Expected back in lineup Tuesday

    Red Sox bench coach Ramon Vazquez said Monday that Campbell is healthy and expected back in the lineup Tuesday against the Mets, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    Campbell is out of the lineup for a second straight day Monday. Vazquez indicated that it's a "reset" for Campbell, who is hitting only .085/.104/.149 in May. The days off will also allow Campbell to put in more pregame work at first base, where the rookie has been taking reps as the Red Sox consider him as a replacement at that position for the injured Triston Casas (knee).

  • Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL

    Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: Closing in on rehab assignment

    Rays manager Kevin Cash said Monday that Kim (shoulder) could begin participating in the rookie-level Florida Complex League by the end of the week, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    Kim remains on the 60-day injured list and is still waiting to make his Rays debut after undergoing surgery on his right shoulder last October, but he seems to be approaching the finish line in a long recovery process. According to Bass, Kim was on the field prior to Monday's game against the Astros and was taking grounders in the middle infield and making throws to first base at what appeared to be full velocity. Cash added that Kim will take live batting practice and see more involvement in defensive work as the weeks rolls along, and if all goes well, the 29-year-old will take part in his first game action in the minors. Kim is expected to be in line for a brief stay in the FCL before joining up with a higher-level minor-league affiliate as soon as next week.

  • Willi Castro LF | COL

    Twins' Willi Castro: Back in lineup Monday

    Castro (knee) is starting at second base and batting ninth against the Guardians on Monday.

    Castro will return to the Twins' lineup for Monday's series opener after missing the last two games due to a right knee contusion. He has gone 8-for-32 (.250) with one steal, eight runs scored and a solo homer in the 10 games since being activated from the 10-day injured list May 5.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: On bench for second straight game

    Campbell is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

    After slashing just .085/.104/.149 to begin May, Campbell was held out of the lineup for Sunday's 10-4 loss to Atlanta. The rookie will remain on the bench for Monday's series opener, but the Red Sox haven't indicated that Campbell is nursing any sort of injury. Assuming he's healthy, Campbell should remain the Red Sox's top second baseman, though he recently began taking reps at first base and could be an option at that position as Boston seeks a more permanent replacement for Triston Casas (knee), who is out for the season.

  • David Hamilton SS | MIL

    Red Sox's David Hamilton: Steals base in loss

    Hamilton started at second base and went 2-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in Sunday's 10-4 loss to Atlanta.

    Hamilton got the start at second base with a slumping Kristian Campbell (.078 in last 13 games) getting a breather. Hamilton doesn't start often but has made an impact with eight steals in a limited role (58 at-bats). With news that Campbell has begun taking reps at first base, an opening could eventually emerge for Hamilton, who has shaken off an early season slump. He's batting .393 (11-for-28) with six steals in 12 games during the month of May.

  • Dylan Moore 2B | TEX

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Moore is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

    Moore will sit for the third time in Seattle's past four games despite having a .778 OPS in nine contests since coming off the injured list May 6. Leo Rivas will cover the keystone and bat ninth in the series finale in San Diego.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: On bench again Sunday

    Sosa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

    Sosa has an .889 OPS in his past eight games but finds himself on the bench Sunday for the second time in the White Sox's last three contests. Josh Rojas is manning the keystone while Miguel Vargas is at third base and Tim Elko starts at first.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Not starting Sunday

    Keith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Keith started the previous three games and went 4-for-9 with two doubles, a walk and three runs, but he'll still take a seat Sunday against Toronto righty Jose Berrios. Riley Greene will rest his legs as the designated hitter while Akil Baddoo receives a start in left field.

  • Willi Castro LF | COL

    Twins' Willi Castro: Sitting again Sunday

    Castro (knee) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Milwaukee.

    It's the second straight game on the bench for Castro after he fouled a ball off his knee during Friday's contest. The utility man was diagnosed with a bruise and is considered day-to-day. Kody Clemens is manning the keystone Sunday while Brooks Lee starts at shortstop in place of Carlos Correa (concussion).

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Taking seat amid slump

    Campbell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    Campbell has just one hit in his past 26 at-bats and has a .085 average (4-for-47) and 31.3 percent strikeout rate through 12 games in May, so he'll get a breather for Sunday's series finale versus Atlanta. David Hamilton will step in at the keystone and bat eighth for Boston.
