Gimenez (quadriceps) started up a running program Monday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

The 26-year-old resumed taking part in baseball activities last week and is now running for the first time since being placed on the injured list May 9 due to the quadriceps strain. Gimenez is expected to require a brief rehab assignment in the minors before rejoining the Blue Jays, so his activation is likely at least a week away.

Keith is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest in St. Louis.

Keith has now been out of the lineup two times over the last three games, and all three have been against right-handed pitching. Riley Greene is at designated hitter and Spencer Torkelson is at first base for the Tigers.

Moore has been promoted to Triple-A Salt Lake, Taylor Blake Ward of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Moore is being bumped up a level in spite of an unimpressive .234/.342/.323 batting line and 27.4 percent strikeout rate at Double-A Rocket City. The No. 8 overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Moore has a shot to debut in 2025, but he'll need to pick up the production.

The Guardians announced Tuesday that Bazzana has been diagnosed with a right internal oblique strain and is expected to be out for 8-to-10 weeks.

Bazzana suffered the injury on a swing during a game with Double-A Akron last Wednesday. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Bazzana has slashed .252/.362/.433 with four home runs and eight stolen bases over 33 contests with Akron this season. The injury won't help Bazzana's chances of reaching the majors later this season.

Fitzgerald went 0-for-3 with a walk in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Royals.

Fitzgerald made his third appearance after being activated from the 10-day injured list Friday due to a left rib fracture. The 27-year-old has gone 3-for-10 with a double, a run scored and a 2:3 BB:K in that three-game span. He's now slashing .286/.350/.429 with two homers, five steals, 15 runs scored, seven RBI and an 8:23 BB:K across 102 plate appearances this season.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after Monday's 9-5 loss to the Diamondbacks that Edman will be held out of the lineup Tuesday, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

After coming off the injured list Sunday following a two-and-a-half-week absence due to a right ankle issue, Edman started in center field that day in the Dodgers' loss to the Angels, finishing 0-for-4. Roberts noted that he's not yet comfortable having Edman play center on consecutive days so soon after the injury, so the 30-year-old shifted to second base Monday and went 1-for-4 with an RBI while Hyeseong Kim got the nod in center. With Edman set to rest Tuesday, Kim will presumably head back to the infield, and Andy Pages will likely start in center after being left out of the lineup Monday.

Sanoja went 1-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's win over the Cubs.

The 22-year-old got the start at shortstop and batted ninth, and Sanoja was a key part of the Marlins' game-winning rally in the ninth inning, drawing a walk ahead of Jesus Sanchez's walk-off triple. Sanoja has been a fixture in the lineup of late in a middle-infield spot with Xavier Edwards (back) landing on the IL just as Otto Lopez was activated from it, but he hasn't really taken advantage. Through 51 plate appearances in May, Sanoja is slashing just .167/.216/.229 with four runs, four RBI and two of his three steals on the season.

Hamilton started at second base and went 1-for-4 and was caught stealing in Monday's 3-1 win over the Mets.

Hamilton filled in for a slumping Kristian Campbell at second base for a second straight game, but that may be the extent of it for now. Red Sox bench coach Ramon Vazquez indicated the break for Campbell was a reset, per Christopher Smith of MassLive.com, and that he would rejoin the starting nine Tuesday. During his two-start run, Hamilton went 3-for-8 with a double, a run scored and 1-for-2 in steal attempts.

Sosa went 4-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run against the Rockies in a 9-3 win Monday.

Sosa singled three times in his first four plate appearances and capped his big day with a two-run blast to left field in the ninth inning. The long ball was his first of the campaign. While Sosa hadn't displayed much power until Monday, he's been plenty productive when given the opportunity, as he's slashing .386/.419/.526 through 57 plate appearances.

DeBarge (wrist) is 6-for-16 with four RBI, three stolen bases and six runs scored in his last four games since returning from a wrist injury.

DeBarge missed one week of action after being struck by a pitch on his wrist earlier in the month, but he's shown no sign of slowing down since his return. The 21-year-old is now batting .294 with four home runs, 28 RBI, 20 stolen bags and 33 runs in 126 at-bats this season for the Kernels.
