The Mets designated Ibanez for assignment Tuesday.

The club needed to free up a spot on its 26-man and 40-man rosters for the addition of A.J. Ewing. Ibanez was a waiver claim of the Mets in late April but hardly played, going hitless in eight plate appearances.

Gimenez went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and five RBI in a loss to the Rays on Monday.

Gimenez produced all five of Toronto's runs Monday, stroking a three-run homer in the second inning and a two-run shot in the seventh. The pair of long balls ended a 21-game homerless stretch for the veteran infielder, who produced a meager .511 OPS during that power drought. Gimenez has five homers through 38 games this season, and he hasn't reached double-digit long balls in a campaign since 2023, when he swatted 15 home runs over 153 regular-season contests with Cleveland.

Caballero will undergo an MRI after injuring his right middle finger while diving back into first base during Sunday's game in Milwaukee, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

Caballero is optimistic nothing is broken, but more clarity on his status will be gained after the MRI results are in. Max Schuemann is starting at shortstop Monday in Baltimore in Caballero's place. However, if Caballero winds up requiring an extended absence, the Yankees would likely recall Anthony Volpe from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Caballero is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest in Baltimore.

Caballero missed a start last week with swelling in his left elbow that was as a result of a hit-by-pitch. He returned to the lineup for the three games after that, however, so this appears to be a simple day off. Max Schuemann will play shortstop and bat eighth for the Yankees.

Triple-A Salt Lake activated Moore (leg) from the 7-day injured list Monday.

Moore has been cleared to return to action after missing more than two weeks with a leg injury. The 23-year-old has offered a mixed bag at Salt Lake this season, slashing .219/.437/.452 with two home runs, four stolen bases and a 28:24 BB:K over 21 contests. The Angels remain unsettled at second base, so Moore could push for a promotion if he gets hot.

The Padres reinstated Wagner (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A El Paso.

Wagner opened the season on the shelf after he strained his right oblique at the beginning of March. After a prolonged shutdown, Wagner was cleared to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A to kick off May, and since the Padres didn't have room for him on their big-league bench, he'll end up sticking around at El Paso on a longer-term basis. Through his first seven games at Triple-A, Wagner has slashed .300/.548/.350 with two stolen bases and a 9:6 BB:K over 31 plate appearances.

Atlanta activated Kim (finger) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Kim is ready for his season debut after working his way back from January surgery to repair a torn tendon in his right middle finger. The 30-year-old infielder hit .286/.412/.321 with zero home runs, one stolen base and a 6:4 BB:K over nine rehab contests between Double-A Columbus and Triple-A Gwinnett. Kim is set to take over as Atlanta's primary shortstop. Jorge Mateo had been seeking most of the reps at shortstop lately, as Mauricio Dubon has been needed more in the outfield with Ronald Acuna (hamstring). Mateo will now revert back to a reserve role, and Dubon will be a super utility player once Acuna is back in the fold.

Kim (finger) will be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Lindsay Crosby of BravesToday.com reports.

Kim has completed his rehab assignment as he works his way back from surgery to repair a torn tendon in his right middle finger. The 30-year-old slashed .286/.412/.321 with no home runs, one stolen base and a 6:4 BB:K over nine rehab contests between Double-A Columbus and Triple-A Gwinnett. Kim will take over as Atlanta's primary shortstop.

Marte went 1-for-3 with a triple, two RBI and a walk in Sunday's victory over the Mets.

Marte extended his team's lead in the sixth inning with a two-RBI triple, his second three-bagger of the season. He has now recorded extra-base hits in consecutive games after doubling in Saturday's win, though it has still been a lackluster start to 2026 for the star second baseman. Through 37 games, the 32-year-old is hitting .212/.268/.370 with five homers, 15 RBI and 19 runs scored.

Massey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

After going 3-for-8 with a home run, two doubles and three RBI while starting the past three games, Massey will hit the bench for the series finale. Nick Loftin will replace Massey at second base and will bat sixth.
