  • 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.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Getting some rest Monday

    Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Turang will not be in Monday's lineup against the Astros as he continues to regain strength following an illness, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Turang played each of the previous four games after sitting out one contest last week because he was under the weather. He's evidently still not feeling quite 100 percent, however, so he'll get a breather for the series opener versus Houston. Turang will be available off the bench Monday and should be back in the lineup Tuesday.

  • Brett Baty 3B | NYM

    Mets' Brett Baty: Rejoining big club

    The Mets are expected to recall Baty from Triple-A Syracuse prior to Monday's game in Arizona, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.

    He'll be taking the roster spot of the injured Jesse Winker (oblique). Baty has been dealing with an injury himself lately, having not played since April 30 because of a sore right big toe. However, the toe issue evidently isn't serious enough to prevent a promotion of Baty, who went 3-for-10 with two doubles in three games with Syracuse. With Jeff McNeil back and Luisangel Acuna establishing himself as a regular presence in the Mets' lineup, Baty would appear destined for primarily a reserve role.

  • Edouard Julien 2B | MIN

    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.

  • Brett Baty 3B | NYM

    Mets' Brett Baty: Dealing with toe issue

    Baty has yet to play a game in May for Triple-A Syracuse due to a sore right big toe, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    The injury will likely prevent Baty from being an option to re-join the big-league roster if Jesse Winker (side) lands on the IL. Baty went 3-for-10 with two doubles and three RBI in his first three games following his demotion to Syracuse before the toe issue cropped up.

  • Nolan Gorman 2B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Plays through finger laceration

    Gorman suffered a left index finger laceration during the first game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    He was injured in the second inning when Willson Contreras stepped on Gorman's glove hand during the latter's sliding catch on a popup in shallow right field. Gorman was checked on by the team trainer but remained in the game, eventually getting removed in the ninth inning for defense. He did not play in the second game of the Cardinals' doubleheader sweep, but it does not seem as though Gorman's finger issue will prevent him from being available Monday versus the Pirates.

  • Tyler Freeman 3B | COL

    Rockies' Tyler Freeman: Making progress

    Freeman (oblique) is swinging with no restrictions during batting practice, MLB.com reports.

    Freeman has been sidelined since mid-April, so he'll likely require at least a short rehab appearance. He had only one hit in 11 at-bats prior to being sidelined, though the Rockies have rotated between Kyle Farmer, Adael Amador and Owen Miller at second base, so Freeman could have a path to playing time if his performance picks up upon his return.

  • Thairo Estrada 2B | COL

    Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Ramping up

    Estrada (wrist) is able to swing the bat with both hands and is working his way into baseball shape, MLB.com reports.

    Estrada has been sidelined for the entire season with a wrist injury but has made significant progress in the last week. There's still no timeline for his return, but he should be in line for a rehab assignment within the next couple of weeks.

  • 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.
