The Tigers selected Short's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.

With Javier Baez (ankle) and Zach McKinstry (hip) on the injured list and Gleyber Torres (side) considered day-to-day, Short will help restore depth in the Detroit infield until the team reclaims some health. Short previously saw big-league action with the Tigers from 2021 through 2023 but most recently surfaced in the majors last season in Houston, with whom he slashed .220/.291/.380 over 56 plate appearances.

Okamoto went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Twins.

Okamoto made things interesting in the ninth inning with his two-run blast off Justin Topa, cutting the Blue Jays' deficit to one. Okamoto has been on a tear at the plate, hitting four homers in his last three games. He's boosted his slash line to .236/.319/.472 through 138 plate appearances with nine home runs and 22 RBI this season.

Moncada is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

The Angels will keep Moncada on the bench for the second straight matchup with a right-handed pitcher, as Oswald Peraza will get the nod at third base against Mets righty Clay Holmes in the series finale. Manager Kurt Suzuki hasn't indicated that Moncada is on shaky ground atop the depth chart, as the skipper may have just wanted to reward Peraza with another start after a three-hit effort in Saturday's 4-3 extra-inning win.

Karros is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Karros will hit the bench for the second time in the series, with both of his absences coming against right-handed starting pitchers. Willi Castro will step in at third base in place of Karros, who has a modest four-game hitting streak going but has cobbled together an underwhelming .213/.339/.277 slash line over 115 plate appearances on the season.

Pauley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

The Marlins will shield the left-handed hitter from a matchup with tough southpaw Jesus Luzardo. Leo Jimenez will get the nod at third base in place of Pauley.

House is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

He'll hit the bench for the series finale while the Nationals go with Jorbit Vivas at third base and Jose Tena at designated hitter. House hasn't produced multiple hits in a start since April 14 and is slashing just .175/.242/.281 with two home runs, one steal, eight RBI and six runs over his ensuing 15 games.

Hayes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Hayes will hit the bench for the second time in the past four games. The 29-year-old's .119/.278/.190 slash line through 90 plate appearances this season may finally be costing him playing time, although his expected stats (including a .237 xBA and .416 xSLG) aren't as dire. Sal Stewart is getting a look at third base Sunday while Spencer Steer starts at first base.

Henderson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Henderson had started in each of the Orioles' first 33 games of the season and hit a bit of a rough patch with six strikeouts over his last three contests, prompting manager Craig Albernaz to give the star shortstop his first day off of 2026. With lefty Max Fried on the mound for the Yankees, the Orioles will go with an all right-handed-hitting lineup that includes Blaze Alexander as Henderson's replacement at shortstop.

Keith went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.

Keith tallied his first stolen base of the year as he continued his strong start from a contact perspective. The 24-year-old is now slashing .326/.360/.400 through 30 games, though he's yet to go deep and only has six RBI. Keith also isn't likely to steal many more bases, as he only had one of them in 2025, but his other counting stats should begin to tick upward if he keeps swinging a hot bat.

Devers went 1-for-4 with an RBI double in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Rays.

Devers hit a two-out double to center field in the sixth inning, driving in San Francisco's lone run. The veteran infielder has recorded a hit in three straight outings following a six-game stretch in which he logged just one hit. The 29-year-old is now slashing .211/.250/.297 with 12 RBI, eight runs scored and two home runs across 136 plate appearances in what has been a lackluster start to the season for both Devers and the Giants.
