Rosario (wrist) will start at shortstop and bat sixth Tuesday against the Padres.

Rosario makes his return to the starting nine after a sore left wrist kept him sidelined for the entirety of the Guardians' series with the Athletics over the weekend. Manager Terry Francona downplayed the injury when asked about the matter, and Rosario's re-entry into the lineup Tuesday supports the notion that the wrist issue won't be a major concern moving forward.

Torres went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Monday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Starting at second base and hitting seventh, Torres supplied the Yankees with all their offense on the night via a two-run shot in the fourth inning off Ross Stripling and an RBI single in the ninth. Torres may be re-discovering something close to his 2019 form -- over his last 10 games, he's slashing .344/.353/.625 with a double, a triple, two of his three homers on the year and 10 RBI.

Altuve went 0-for-3 with a walk Monday against the Mariners.

Altuve returned from a hamstring injury to start for the first time since April 18. He reclaimed his typical leadoff role and walked in his first plate appearance. Altuve didn't reach base again but most importantly made it out of the appearance healthy. Dating back prior to his absence, Altuve has reached base in four consecutive starts, so he's shown signs of turning around his subpar start to the season.

Altuve (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and is starting at second base and hitting leadoff in Monday's game against the Mariners.

Altuve concluded a rehab assignment at Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday in which he went 3-for-7 with a double, a run, a walk and two strikeouts over two games. After being re-evaluated Monday, he'll presumably be Houston's everyday second baseman and leadoff hitter now that he's deemed healthy.

Biggio cleared COVID-19 protocols Monday and began baseball activities, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

Biggio has been on the COVID-19 injured list for the past week and was reportedly experiencing symptoms. It looks like he'll be able to return within the next few days, though he'll need a day or two to get sharp again before being activated.

Marte is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

Marte will sit for the second time this season after going 3-for-26 with a solo home run and no other RBI while starting each of Arizona's last seven games. The poor stretch at the plate was a continuation of a rough start to the season for Marte, who enters Monday's contest with a .151/.213/.279 slash line across 94 plate appearances.

The Brewers reinstated Urias (quadriceps) from the 10-day injured list Monday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Milwaukee designated reliever Jose Urena for assignment to clear room on the active roster for Urias, who is expected to make his season debut in Tuesday's series opener with the Reds. After suffering the left quad injury in a March 19 Cactus League game, Urias was slow to resume baseball activities, but the Brewers appear confident in his health after he recently wrapped up a seven-game rehab assignment at Double-A Biloxi. Urias wasn't especially productive at Biloxi with a .148/.258/.185 slash line across 31 plate appearances, but he's expected to immediately reclaim everyday duties at third base. Milwaukee had been running a platoon of Jace Peterson and Mike Brosseau at the position for the first three-plus weeks of the season.

McNeil went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

Hitting third and getting the start in left field, McNeil continued a recent tear that has seen him pile up five multi-hit performances over the last seven games. The 30-year-old's hot streak has pushed his batting average up to .361 (26-for-72) on the season with one homer, one steal, 10 RBI and 13 runs through 21 contests.

The White Sox optioned Mendick to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Mendick and reliever Anderson Severino were the casualties as the White Sox needed to reduce their active roster from 28 to 26 men prior to Monday's deadline. The 28-year-old utility man started three straight games from April 24 through 27, but he went unused off the bench in each of Chicago's four games that followed.

Rodgers went 2-for-4 with a double, four RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Reds.

Rodgers returned from a four-game absence caused by a back injury and reclaimed his starting role at second base. He began the performance with an RBI single in the first inning, and one frame later he delivered a bases-clearing double. The effort marked the first time Rodgers tallied multiple hits in a game in 2022, and the double was only his second extra-base hit of the campaign. Rodgers has gotten off to a disastrous start to the season by posting a .109/194/.145 line, but Sunday's performance was an encouraging sign that he can get on track at the plate.
