MLB Player News

Estrada was moved to the 10-day injured list Monday due to a fractured left hand, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Estrada was struck by a pitch during Sunday's series finale, and after further evaluation, it was determined he suffered a fracture. The timetable for his return is still up in the air, as his return date will likely depend on the location and severity of the fracture.

Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said Polanco (hamstring) will do some "high-effort sprints" Monday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

He's also set to go through other baseball activities with the team. Polanco wouldn't appear to be too far off from a rehab assignment and is expected to require a handful of games when he is deemed ready. The veteran second baseman has missed a large chunk of the season with a knee injury and a pair of hamstring strains.

X-rays on Westburg's left hand have come back negative, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Westburg is not in the Orioles' lineup Monday after being hit in the hand by a pitch in Sunday's win over the Twins, but he took batting practice pregame and is feeling much better. Consider him day-to-day. The O's are going with Ramon Urias at second base and Gunnar Henderson at third Monday versus the Yankees.

Brujan was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Monday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Brujan will head to Tacoma after being called up June 5, batting .176 average with two doubles, two RBI, four runs and two stolen bases over 34 at-bats in 12 games. He'll look to regroup in Triple-A and attempt to earn another promotion later this season.

Julien is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

Julien will sit for the second straight day and for the third time in five games while the Twins face off against left-hander Austin Cox in the series opener with the Royals. Manager Rocco Baldelli seems to view Julien as a strict platoon player at the moment, but Julien should still occupy a prominent spot in the batting order when the Twins oppose right-handed pitchers.

Westburg is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees after picking up a left hand injury in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Twins, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Westburg took a pitch to the hand in his eighth-inning plate appearance Sunday, but he was able to stay in the game for the top of the ninth as the Orioles finished off the victory. However, manager Brandon Hyde told Rill afterward that Westburg would get imaging done on his hand, and while the results of those tests aren't known, the rookie infielder will be out of the lineup for at least one game. Ramon Urias will enter the starting nine at second base Monday while Westburg hits the bench.

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

Donovan previously sat out both ends of a doubleheader Saturday against the Yankees while battling an arm injury, but he returned to the lineup for Sunday's 5-1 win over New York and went 3-for-4 with a home run. The Cardinals haven't indicated that he suffered a setback during that contest, so the lefty-hitting Donovan's absence from the lineup Monday likely has more to do with the fact that the Marlins are bringing southpaw Braxton Garrett to the hill.

Gorman is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in Miami.

Gorman will begin this one on the bench as the Cardinals face left-hander Braxton Garrett. St. Louis will go with Tommy Edman at second base and Luken Baker at designated hitter.

Montes was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque following Sunday's 14-9 loss to the Tigers.

Montes will head back to Albuquerque after being called up June 11. Over 18 games with the Rockies, the 26-year-old produced a disappointing .184/.244/.316 slash line with only three extra-base hits while striking out 12 times over 38 at-bats. He'll look to get back into a groove in Triple-A before potentially making a return to Colorado's roster later this season.

Jones signed a major-league contract with the Brewers and was added to the 26-man active roster ahead of Monday's game against the Cubs.

Before he opted out of his minor-league deal with the Dodgers over the weekend, the 25-year-old infielder has spent the entirety of the 2023 season at Triple-A Oklahoma City and put together a .292/.427/.542 slash line over 263 plate appearances. Jones will now get the opportunity to return to the big leagues with the Brewers, who are in need of added infield depth in the short term after Brian Anderson was placed on the paternity list Monday. Jones could end up serving as a short-side platoon player while he's up with the big club.
