Oswald Peraza 2B | 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.

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.

Oswald Peraza 2B | LAA
Yankees' Oswald Peraza: Remains out Monday
Peraza (ankle) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Peraza hasn't started in a game in a week and hasn't made an appearance since last Wednesday while he contends with a right ankle sprain. The rookie appears to be reasonably healthy at this point, however, as manager Aaron Boone said prior to Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Rays that Peraza was available off the bench, according to Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. Peraza looks as though he'll be limited to a utility role while he's with the big club.

Gio Urshela 3B | MIN
Angels' Gio Urshela: Tallies three hits Sunday
Urshela went 3-for-5 and scored a run in Sunday's loss to the Rangers.
Urshela recorded his fourth three-hit game of the season in the loss, lifting his season slash line to .304/.328/.348. He's gone 6-for-10 over his past three games, but he hasn't collected an extra-base hit since since going deep against Boston on April 15.

Gunnar Henderson SS | BAL
Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Not in lineup Monday
Henderson is out of the lineup for Monday's game versus the Rays.
The left-handed-hitting Henderson will take a seat as Tampa Bay brings southpaw Shane McClanahan to the hill. Henderson is sporting just a .458 OPS against lefties this season. Ramon Urias will step in at third base Monday while Henderson retreats to the bench.

Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA
White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Might not return until this weekend
Moncada (back) could remain on his rehab assignment at Triple-A Charlotte a bit longer, with a return from the 10-day injured list coming perhaps this weekend for the beginning of the White Sox's homestand, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Manager Pedro Grifol said Sunday that he wouldn't rule out Moncada being activated ahead of Monday's series opener in Kansas City, but all signs point to the third baseman continuing his rehab assignment a little while longer. Moncada has gone 5-for-9 with a home run in his first three rehab games, so his bat looks ready. However, the White Sox want to make sure the back injury that has kept him out since mid-April is behind him.
