  • Josh Donaldson 3B | MIL

    Yankees' Josh Donaldson: Week away from rehab games

    Donaldson (hamstring) will go through another week of "intense baseball activities" before starting a rehab assignment, Yankees manager Aaron Boone told Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger.

    It had seemed like a rehab assignment for Donaldson was imminent, but he'll need to get through a few more days of workouts first. That would seem to put him on a timetable to return toward the end of the month, if all goes well. Donaldson has been out since early April with a right hamstring strain.

  • Ramon Urias 3B | STL

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Likely out beyond 10 days

    Orioles general manager Mike Elias said that Urias (hamstring) will "miss a good bit of time" after being placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Elias didn't go into detail about how long Urias might be sidelined, but the utility infielder seems likely to miss beyond the minimum 10 days. Urias suffered a left hamstring strain during Monday's game versus the Rays.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Not in lineup

    LeMahieu is absent from the Yankees' lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Athletics, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

    It looks to be a simple day of rest for LeMahieu. Oswaldo Cabrera will handle third base for the Yankees.

  • Cesar Prieto SS | STL

    Orioles' Cesar Prieto: Lowest K-rate at Double-A

    Prieto has a .364/.411/.485 slash line with two home runs, three steals and more walks (seven) than strikeouts (five) through 107 plate appearances with Double-A Bowie.

    The lefty-hitting Cuban infielder got $650,000 in January of 2022 due to the strength of his hit tool, and thus far he has shown major improvements in a repeat of Double-A, where he was below league average (77 wRC+) in 90 games last year. Prieto's 4.7 percent strikeout rate is by far the best mark in all of Double-A -- next best is Domingo Leyba's 10.1 percent strikeout rate. Prieto, who turns 24 this week, has seen time at second base (11 starts), shortstop (six starts) and third base (five starts).

  • Ramon Urias 3B | STL

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Goes on IL with strained hamstring

    Urias was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Orioles on Tuesday with a strained left hamstring.

    Urias suffered the injury during Monday's loss to the Rays. The severity of the strain is unclear at the moment, and therefore, so is Urias' timetable. Urias is sporting a .756 OPS with one home run and two stolen bases in 30 games this season.

  • Oswald Peraza 3B | LAA

    Yankees' Oswald Peraza: Lands on IL with ankle sprain

    The Yankees placed Peraza (ankle) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    The move is retroactive to Saturday, which means Peraza will be eligible to return May 16. While he hadn't played in nearly a week, Peraza was said to be available off the bench in recent days, so it's reasonable to think he might be ready when his 10 days are up.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Hits fourth home run of season

    Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-2 loss against the Tigers.

    Ramirez opened the scoring by grounding into a double olay in the first inning, but he wasn't credited with an RBI. His fourth home run of the season came in the fourth and cut Detroit's lead to 4-2, but he was retired his next two times up, including in the sixth when he accounted for the game-tying run. Ramirez has hit safely in seven straight games and is currently slashing .281/.361/.452 across 35 contests (155 plate appearances). Given his standards, the third baseman is struggling in the power department to start the year, but he has more walks (18) than strikeouts (13), which suggests the power numbers will come eventually.

  • Ramon Urias 3B | STL

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Dealing with hamstring strain

    Urias suffered a left hamstring strain during Monday's game against the Rays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. He went 1-for-2 with a pair of walks prior to departing.

    Urias was forced from the contest in the bottom of the ninth inning after suffering the injury. He's likely headed for further evaluation to determine the extent of the strain.

  • Ramon Urias 3B | STL

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Exits with injury

    Urias left Monday's game against the Rays due to an undisclosed injury, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

    Urias appeared to suffer the injury after singling in the bottom of the ninth inning. He'll be considered day-to-day until the extent of the injury becomes known.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Rays' Isaac Paredes: Not in lineup

    Paredes is absent from the Rays' lineup for Monday's game in Baltimore, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    It's the second game out of the last three that Paredes has been on the bench. The Rays are going with Taylor Walls at third base.
