  • Patrick Wisdom 3B | SEA

    Mariners' Patrick Wisdom: Activated from injured list

    The Mariners activated Wisdom (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

    Wisdom was shelved for the last month of action with a left oblique strain but has been deemed ready to roll after playing eight rehab contests with Triple-A Tacoma. The 34-year-old is likely to serve primarily in a reserve role for Seattle.

  • Gage Workman 3B | SD

    Tigers' Gage Workman: Heading to bench Monday

    Workman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

    After starting in three of the Tigers' previous four games, Workman will retreat to the bench while Detroit opens up a spot in the infield for Zack Short, who will cover shortstop in the series opener. Since being called up from Triple-A Toledo on May 10, Workman is getting on base at a weak .227 clip but has made his five hits count, smacking two home runs and a pair of doubles while driving in five runs.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Homers during blowout win

    Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, two walks and an additional run scored in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Reds.

    Ramirez took Tejay Antone deep for a two-run homer in the eighth inning that capped Cleveland's offensive outburst Sunday. The blast was his seventh homer of the season and his first in 24 games after he homered six times over his first 24 contests. While the superstar third baseman hasn't fully returned to his usual elite offensive form -- batting .229 with 19 RBI in 48 games -- he still holds an impressive .358 OBP and leads MLB with 20 stolen bases.

  • Red Sox's Andruw Monasterio: Slides in at shortstop

    Monasterio started at shortstop and went 1-for-4 in Sunday's 8-1 loss to Atlanta.

    Monasterio has made two consecutive starts at shortstop, as Trevor Story (groin) was added to the injured list and could face surgery. It's unclear if Monasterio will become the everyday fill-in at shortstop, but interim manager Chad Tracy put him in the starting lineup against right-handers Saturday and Sunday. Other than Monasterio, the Red Sox have a host of options on the 26-man roster that can play shortstop, including Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Nick Sogard and Marcelo Mayer.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Goes deep in win

    Caminero went 1-for-2 with a home run, two walks and two RBI in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Marlins.

    Caminero launched a solo shot off Eury Perez in the first inning before adding an RBI via a bases-loaded walk in the sixth. The 22-year-old slugger has now hit safely in seven of his past nine games, tallying three homers, seven RBI and seven runs scored during that stretch. On the season, he's slashing .256/.342/.488 with 12 home runs, 32 RBI and 28 runs scored across 196 plate appearances.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Out of lineup Sunday

    Paredes isn't starting Sunday versus Texas.

    Paredes has been a regular at third base for the Astros since Carlos Correa (ankle) was lost for the season, but he'll get at least a partial day off after going just 2-for-19 over his past five contests. Braden Shewmake is starting at the hot corner Sunday.

  • Kazuma Okamoto 3B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Kazuma Okamoto: Getting breather Sunday

    Okamoto is out of Toronto's starting lineup versus the Tigers on Sunday.

    It's a rare rest day for Okamoto, who had started 44 of the Blue Jays' 45 games this season coming into Sunday. After beginning May with a 10-game hitting streak that included five homers, he's tailed off a bit of late, going 1-for-14 over his past four contests. Ernie Clement is starting at third base in Okamoto's stead Sunday.

  • Caleb Durbin 3B | BOS

    Red Sox's Caleb Durbin: Beginning on bench Sunday

    Durbin is not in Boston's starting lineup Sunday versus Atlanta, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    Durbin will get a breather amidst a rough start to May, as he's batting just .150 through 14 games so far this month. Nick Sogard is starting at third base Sunday for the Red Sox.

  • Miguel Vargas 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Belts three-run homer Saturday

    Vargas went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run during the White Sox's 8-3 win over the Cubs on Saturday.

    Vargas opened Saturday's scoring early when he belted a homer off Jameson Taillon in the first inning. It was the 11th home run of the season for Vargas and extended his hit streak to eight games. He has three multi-hit performances during that stretch and has gone 11-for-28 (.393) with four home runs, nine RBI and nine runs scored.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Logs two steals in Saturday's win

    Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a walk, two steals and a run scored during the Guardians' 7-4 win over the Reds on Saturday.

    Ramirez stole both second and third base in the eighth inning, and he came home to score in the same frame on an error by Reds reliever Connor Phillips to extend the Guardians' lead to three runs. It was the fourth time this season that Ramirez logged two steals in a game, with two of those coming in his last three outings. The veteran slugger now leads the majors with 20 steals and has a .737 OPS with six home runs, 17 RBI and 27 runs scored in 207 plate appearances this season.
