Kiner-Falefa went 2-for-4 with a run batted in and a steal during Monday's win over the Mariners.

Kiner-Falefa picked up his second multi-hit game of the new season and plated Daulton Varsho in the eighth on a single for his first RBI of 2024. Through 10 appearances, Kiner-Falefa is slashing .250/.344/.286.

Bregman went 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI on Monday against the Rangers.

Bregman has gotten off to a slow start to the season, as Monday's performance marked his first multi-hit effort. He also has just two RBI and one run scored across 11 games. While it's been a frustrating opening to the new campaign, Bregman is still striking out just 15.6 percent of the time and should see the rest of his numbers normalize over time.

Rendon went 3-for-5 with a double and three runs in Monday's 7-1 victory over the Rays.

Rendon got off to an 0-for-21 start to the season at the plate, but he's now working on a modest four-game hitting streak and has six hits over his past 18 at-bats. The veteran third baseman still hasn't homered or driven in a run, though he's knocked a double in consecutive contests. The Angels have stuck with Rendon as their leadoff hitter through his rough start, and he could get a chance to score a decent amount of runs if he continues to perk up at the plate with Mike Trout batting two slots behind him.

Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Monday's 4-0 win over the White Sox.

Ramirez took a fifth-inning Bryan Shaw slider over the right-field wall to provide the Guardians with their winning margin. It was the second homer for Ramirez who had gone 43 at-bats since hitting his first home run during the second game of the season. Despite the relatively slow start in the power department, Ramirez has maintained his typical run production, collecting his eighth and ninth RBI through the Guardians' first 10 games.

Jung (wrist) was placed on the 60-day injured list Monday.

Jung is expected to miss the next 8-to-10 weeks while on the mend from a broken right wrist, so this move simply clears a spot on the 40-man roster while he rehabs. Jung could return to action by the end of May if all goes according to plan.

Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said Monday that Miranda could play third base "maybe a couple times a week," Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Miranda is starting at third base Monday versus the Dodgers after being recalled earlier in the day, and there is an opening for playing time there while Royce Lewis (quad) is sidelined. However, the Twins see Miranda as mainly a first baseman and designated hitter at this point, and those positions are more difficult to crack right now. In other words, it sounds like he'll be a part-time player for the time being.

Ibanez was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Tigers on Monday with a left hamstring strain, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Ibanez evidently suffered the injury during Sunday's game against the Athletics and will now be sidelined for at least the next week and a half. Wenceel Perez is absorbing his roster spot.

Urshela is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Urshela started the previous three games but will take a seat Monday after going 3-for-12 with two doubles and an RBI. Zach McKinstry will step in at the hot corner against Pittsburgh righty Mitch Keller.

Castro is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.

The switch-hitting Castro started the first seven games of the season but has a .130/.286/.130 slash line and will take a seat for Monday's contest. Jose Miranda, who was called up from Triple-A St. Paul earlier in the day, will start at third base and bat fifth.

Cabrera is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest against the Marlins, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Cabrera has now started nine of 11 games this season, with eight of the starts coming at third base. He will yield to Jon Berti in this one, marking the second straight time Berti has been at the hot corner against a left-hander.
