Brendan Donovan 2B | STL
Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Exits with toe injury
Donovan was removed from Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays due to toe discomfort, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
It's unclear what caused Donovan's injury, but his toe forced him out of the game in the ninth inning after he had gone 0-for-3 with a run scored. Fantasy managers can consider him day-to-day for now, though Nolan Gorman could pick up some additional starts at second base if Donovan has to miss any amount of time.

Adam Frazier 2B | KC
Pirates' Adam Frazier: Another start in left field
Frazier will start in left field and bat sixth in Tuesday's game against the Marlins.
Frazier, who is hitting .377/.441/.528 over his last 15 games, will draw his second straight start in left field. With Tommy Pham and Alexander Canario providing little offense from the left field spot, Frazier could get some extended run at the position against right-handed pitching.

Bryson Stott 2B | PHI
Phillies' Bryson Stott: Moves down in order amidst slump
Stott will start at second base and bat fifth in Tuesday's game versus the Cubs.
Stott has been the Phillies' regular leadoff man against right-handers since mid-April, but he's moving down in the order as the Cubs send righty Colin Rea to the bump. The 27-year-old Stott is slashing only .195/.244/.260 since the start of May.

Giants' Christian Koss: Back in big leagues
The Giants recalled Koss from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
The 27-year-old was demoted last week but will rejoin San Francisco with Matt Chapman (hand) landing on the injured list. Koss has a .219/.275/.266 slash line over 72 plate appearances in the majors this season and will likely fill a reserve role while up with the big club.

Max Muncy SS | ATH
Athletics' Max Muncy: Homer, steal in loss
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.

Adam Frazier 2B | KC
Pirates' Adam Frazier: Continues torrid stretch in rout
Frazier went 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 10-3 win over the Marlins.
Frazier recorded his fourth three-hit game of the season, with each coming in his last 12 games. During this span, the veteran utility man is batting a torrid .395 (17-for-43) with one home run, four doubles, five RBI and six runs scored. Frazier regularly sits against southpaws and continues to see limited playing time since Nick Gonzales returned -- Frazier has taken just 19 at-bats versus lefties in 2025 and has started just four of Pittsburgh's past eight contests.

Zack Gelof 2B | ATH
Athletics' Zack Gelof: Ready for rehab stint
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.
