Tanner Murray 3B | CHW
White Sox's Tanner Murray: Moved to 60-day IL
The White Sox transferred Murray to the 60-day injured list Monday.
The move opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for Randal Grichuk, who signed a one-year major-league deal with the White Sox on Monday. Murray suffered a left shoulder dislocation and fracture while making a diving catch in left field against the Nationals in late April. His recovery timeline was initially set at 4-to-6 months, which means he won't be available to return until at least late August.

Coby Mayo 3B | BAL
Orioles' Coby Mayo: Exiting starting nine Monday
Mayo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Jeremiah Jackson will step in at third base in place of Mayo, who will hit the bench after going 1-for-16 with a 0:7 BB:K over his last six games. The young infielder has already endured multiple lulls in production less than two months into the season and is slashing just .165/.234/.306 while striking out at a 29.8 percent clip over 94 plate appearances. Once the Orioles get the likes of Jackson Holliday (hand) and Jordan Westburg (elbow) back from the injured list, Mayo will be in danger of moving into more of a part-time role, if Baltimore doesn't option him to Triple-A Norfolk.

Zach McKinstry 3B | DET
Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Could be activated Tuesday
McKinstry (hip) has rejoined the Tigers in Detroit and could be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game versus the Red Sox, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
McKinstry is 1-for-11 with a home run in his first three rehab contests. He will go through a workout Monday before the Tigers decide whether McKinstry is ready to be activated Tuesday or needs another rehab game or two. The super utility player has missed more than two weeks with left hip/abdominal inflammation.

Maikel Garcia 3B | KC
Royals' Maikel Garcia: Records steal in win
Garcia went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Mariners.
Garcia has hit safely in five of his last six games, going 8-for-27 (.296) with five extra-base hits in that span. The infielder is batting .270 with a .762 OPS, three home runs, 13 RBI, 18 runs scored, four stolen bases, nine doubles and a triple over 32 contests. Garcia has stolen at least 23 bases over each of the last three years, so the potential is there for him to run more frequently as the season progresses.

Zack Short 3B | DET
Tigers' Zack Short: Summoned from minor-league ranks
The Tigers selected Short's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.
With Javier Baez (ankle) and Zach McKinstry (hip) on the injured list and Gleyber Torres (side) considered day-to-day, Short will help restore depth in the Detroit infield until the team reclaims some health. Short previously saw big-league action with the Tigers from 2021 through 2023 but most recently surfaced in the majors last season in Houston, with whom he slashed .220/.291/.380 over 56 plate appearances.

Kazuma Okamoto 3B | TOR
Blue Jays' Kazuma Okamoto: Homers in third straight game
Okamoto went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Twins.
Okamoto made things interesting in the ninth inning with his two-run blast off Justin Topa, cutting the Blue Jays' deficit to one. Okamoto has been on a tear at the plate, hitting four homers in his last three games. He's boosted his slash line to .236/.319/.472 through 138 plate appearances with nine home runs and 22 RBI this season.

Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA
Angels' Yoan Moncada: Taking seat again Sunday
Moncada is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.
The Angels will keep Moncada on the bench for the second straight matchup with a right-handed pitcher, as Oswald Peraza will get the nod at third base against Mets righty Clay Holmes in the series finale. Manager Kurt Suzuki hasn't indicated that Moncada is on shaky ground atop the depth chart, as the skipper may have just wanted to reward Peraza with another start after a three-hit effort in Saturday's 4-3 extra-inning win.

Gunnar Henderson 3B | BAL
Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Handed first day off of 2026
Henderson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Henderson had started in each of the Orioles' first 33 games of the season and hit a bit of a rough patch with six strikeouts over his last three contests, prompting manager Craig Albernaz to give the star shortstop his first day off of 2026. With lefty Max Fried on the mound for the Yankees, the Orioles will go with an all right-handed-hitting lineup that includes Blaze Alexander as Henderson's replacement at shortstop.

Colt Keith 3B | DET
Tigers' Colt Keith: Records first stolen base in win
Keith went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.
Keith tallied his first stolen base of the year as he continued his strong start from a contact perspective. The 24-year-old is now slashing .326/.360/.400 through 30 games, though he's yet to go deep and only has six RBI. Keith also isn't likely to steal many more bases, as he only had one of them in 2025, but his other counting stats should begin to tick upward if he keeps swinging a hot bat.
