    Blue Jays' Josh Donaldson: Dealing with calf tightness

    Donaldson was removed from Monday's game against the Red Sox with left calf tightness, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.

    Donaldson appeared to suffer the injury while running the bases in the fifth inning, as he gingerly made his way to third base on a double from Justin Smoak before being replaced on the bases by Gio Urshela. The severity of the issue remains unclear at this point, but he spent some time on the disabled list at the start of last season with a right calf injury. He is currently be evaluated by the Blue Jays' medical staff.

    Mariners' Jean Segura: Scratched from lineup

    Segura (head) was scratched from Monday's lineup against the Rangers.

    Segura was originally in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener, but he was replaced by Andrew Romine at shortstop after failing to gain clearance from team doctors following a pregame workout. He'll likely be reevaluated prior to Tuesday's game to determine his availability.

    Mariners' Jean Segura: Could be scratched from lineup

    Segura could be scratched from Monday's lineup against the Rays, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

    Segura, who missed Sunday's game with a head injury, is tentatively penciled into the starting lineup Monday, but he still has to meet with doctors before being cleared to play. If Segura is forced to sit out another game, Andrew Romine would likely enter the lineup in his place.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Athletics' Matt Chapman: Breaks out of slump Sunday

    Chapman went 2-for-4 with a go-ahead RBI single in a win over the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

    Chapman lined a single to left that plated Matt Olson in the sixth with what would ultimately turn out to be the winning run. The 25-year-old had been stuck in an 0-for-17 slump entering the game, so the multi-hit effort was a welcome departure from recent struggles. Despite Sunday's production, Chapman has still limped to a paltry .198 average in May.

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Mariners' Jean Segura: Back in lineup Monday

    Segura (head) is starting at shortstop and hitting leadoff Monday against the Rangers, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Segura exited Saturday's game against the Twins after getting accidentally kicked in the head. Fortunately, it was determined afterwards that the shortstop didn't suffer a concussion and wouldn't require a stay on the disabled list. He apparently checked out OK following a workout Monday morning, so Segura will rejoin the starting lineup after missing just one game. The 28-year-old is hitting an impressive .324/.341/.456 with four homers and 12 stolen bases in 50 games this season, and he'll look to keep things rolling against righty Doug Fister in his return to action.

  • J.D. Davis 1B | LAA

    Astros' J.D. Davis: Gets start Monday

    Davis will start at first base and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Yankees.

    With Alex Bregman getting a day off, Yulieski Gurriel moves to third base and Davis takes Gurriel's usual spot across the diamond.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Out of Monday's lineup

    Bregman is out of Monday's lineup against the Yankees.

    He is hitting .287/.404/.540 with four home runs and two steals over his last 23 games, but will start the Memorial Day matinee on the bench. Yulieski Gurriel will start at third base and hit fourth, while J.D. Davis starts at first base.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Indians' Jose Ramirez: Records 16th double

    Ramirez went 2-for-6 with a double, a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 10-9 win over the Astros.

    Ramirez got Cleveland on the board early, as he hit a two-run homer to right in the bottom of the first. The 25-year-old third baseman has been on a tear of late, recording a base knock in eight of his last 10 games. He's batting an impressive .292 with 15 home runs and 37 RBI through 50 contests. Ramirez will try to stay hot at the plate as the Indians host the White Sox on Monday.

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Mariners' Jean Segura: Will avoid DL

    Segura (head) won't be moved to the disabled list and is set to work out Monday with the potential to be in the starting lineup, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Segura exited Saturday's game after being accidentally kicked in the head, and upon further evaluation, he didn't suffer a concussion. This is good news for the Mariners, as Segura won't need to hit the disabled list, and he'll likely be back on the field within the next few days.
