Luis Urias 2B | ATH
Athletics' Luis Urias: Racks up three hits
Urias went 3-for-4 in Monday's 7-6 win over the Mariners in 11 innings.
Urias provided some steady hitting from the No. 9 spot, though all three hits were singles and he wasn't directly involved in any scoring plays. Since April 20, he's been a regular in the Athletics' lineup, and he's gone 14-for-48 (.292) in that span. That has him up to a .272 batting average on the year to go with an .871 OPS, five home runs, nine RBI, eight runs scored and no stolen bases. Urias is holding down a starting role at second base, and with Zack Gelof (wrist/ribs) pausing his rehab assignment Monday, Urias should get a longer look in the lineup.

Zack Gelof 2B | ATH
Athletics' Zack Gelof: Pausing rehab stint
Gelof (wrist) had his rehab assignment paused after being diagnosed with a stress reaction in his ribs, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Gelof is on a rehab stint with Triple-A Las Vegas that started Tuesday as he continues to work back from surgery on his right wrist, but he's now being bothered by his ribs. He'll be shut down from swinging a bat until he can get the stress reaction under control, likely pushing his 2025 debut to late May in a best-case scenario.

Brendan Rodgers 2B | BOS
Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Out of Monday's lineup
Rodgers is not in the Astros' starting lineup against the Brewers on Monday.
Rodgers will be in the dugout for the beginning of Monday's game while Mauricio Dubon starts at the keystone and bats ninth against Brewers right-hander Tobias Myers. Rodgers has gone 4-for-15 with two runs scored over his last four games.

Josh Rojas 3B | CHW
White Sox's Josh Rojas: Sitting Monday
Rojas is not in the White Sox's starting lineup against the Royals.
Rojas started the season on the injured list due to a toe injury, but he made his 2025 debut against the Astros on Sunday and went 0-for-2 with a bases-loaded walk. With southpaw Cole Ragans taking the hill for the Royals on Monday, the lefty-hitting Rojas will begin the contest in the dugout while Miguel Vargas starts at third base and bats second.

Edouard Julien 2B | COL
Twins' Edouard Julien: Sent down to minors
The Twins optioned Julien to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday.
Julien has been unable to find his footing this season, slashing only .198/.288/.319 across 104 plate appearances. With both Royce Lewis (hamstring) and Willi Castro (oblique) retuning from the 10-day injured list, Julien's playing time was set to drop significantly, so he'll head to St. Paul where he can see regular reps.

Willi Castro LF | COL
Twins' Willi Castro: Back from injured list
The Twins activated Castro (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday.
Castro hasn't played since mid-April because of the injury, but he will skip a rehab assignment and go right back onto the Twins' active roster. The super utility player will be in line for close to everyday playing time, likely alternating across multiple positions.

Josh Rojas 3B | CHW
White Sox's Josh Rojas: Drives in run in team debut
Rojas went 0-for-2 with a walk and an RBI in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Astros.
Rojas was activated from the injured list Sunday after a toe injury kept him sidelined for the first month of the season. He hit seventh in the order while starting at third base and managed a bases-loaded walk in the fifth inning to collect his first RBI with the White Sox in his debut with the club. Rojas is projected to serve in a large-side platoon role moving forward.

Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW
White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Knocks in pair
Sosa went 1-for-2 with a walk and two RBI on Sunday against the Astros.
Sosa only has 10 RBI across 33 games this season, but five have come in his last 10 appearances. He's hitting a decent .256 for the campaign, but he has just a .086 ISO and also suffers from hitting in the bottom-third of the White Sox's order.

Colt Keith 3B | DET
Tigers' Colt Keith: Goes deep again Sunday
Keith went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, two walks and three runs scored in Sunday's win over the Angels.
Keith took Jack Kochanowicz deep to center in the third to put the Tigers up 5-0. It was his third home run in his last five games after he had zero in his previous 27. Over these last five games, Keith has driven in five runs and scored eight times while producing a 4:3 BB:K. He's showing signs of life and barreling the ball more after not doing much offensively over the first month of the season.
