MLB Player News

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Monday's 7-3 win over the Royals.

Ramirez opened the scoring with an RBI single in the first inning before adding a two-run homer in the fifth. He's posted multiple RBI in five of his last nine contests, and he leads the majors with 51 this season. The star third baseman has added a .297/.391/.648 slash line with 13 homers, 28 runs scored, six stolen bases, four triples and 11 doubles in 44 games overall.

Muncy (elbow) is expected to be sent to Camelback Ranch within the next few days to start ramping back up, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Muncy was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to left elbow inflammation, but he was with the team Monday and has already been starting to swing a bat, per Hoornstra. The infielder can return from the IL as early as June 5, though a timetable for his activation has yet to be established at this point.

Anderson (back) remains on the bench Monday against the Rockies, Joe Frisaro of ManOnSecondBaseball.com reports.

Anderson was scratched Saturday against Atlanta with lower-back spasms and remained on the bench Sunday. He'll sit for the third straight game Monday, with his expected return date not yet clear.

Miranda was recalled by the Twins on Monday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Miranda was optioned Sunday that Royce Lewis could take his place on the roster, but he'll return one day later as Lewis hits the injured list with a bone bruise in his right knee. Miranda hit a very disappointing .164/.200/.284 in 19 games prior to his demotion, but that brief stretch isn't enough to conclude that he doesn't have what it takes to succeed at the highest level.

Lewis (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with a right knee bone bruise.

After being recalled Sunday, Lewis suffered the knee injury while making a catch in the fourth inning and he will now be out for at least 10 days. The 22-year-old has produced a .300 average with two homers, four doubles, five RBI and five runs over 40 at-bats in 12 games with the Twins this season. Jose Miranda was called up from Triple-A St. Paul on Monday to take his spot on the 26-man roster.

Machado (elbow) will bat second and play third base Monday against the Cardinals.

Machado missed the last two games with tennis elbow, but the Padres said he'd be able to return Monday and he will indeed do so. That's great news for San Diego, as he's hitting an excellent .357/.438/.583 on the year, adding eight homers and seven steals. Per Dennis Lin of The Athletic, Machado's quick recovery was the result of a cortisone shot having its desired effect.

Walls went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk Sunday against the Yankees.

Walls snapped a 58 at-bat stretch without an extra-base hit by smacking his second homer of the season. He's continued to get consistent playing time at third base with Brandon Lowe (back) sidelined but has hit just .096 with two RBI and five runs scored across his last 23 games. Walls' primary fantasy appeal comes from his speed, as he has managed five stolen bases while being caught once on the campaign.

Segura went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases in a 5-4 loss to the Mets on Sunday.

Segura laced singles in the second and eighth innings and stole both second and third base following the latter. After logging only one theft in April, the 32-year-old has stolen seven bases in May to pull into a tie for 10th in MLB and is already one shy of his total from 2021. Segura's .281/.331/.419 slash line is nearly identical to his .285/.330/.410 marks for his career.

Ramirez went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Tigers.

Ramirez has notched three of his six stolen bases this year in his last six games. The third baseman saw his five-game hitting streak snapped Sunday, but he's had only two stretches this season with consecutive 0-fer performances. Overall, he's at a .292/.388/.634 slash line with 12 home runs, 48 RBI, 27 runs scored, 11 doubles and four triples in 43 contests.

Burger went 1-for-5 with a walk and an RBI on Sunday against the Cubs.

Burger had an uninspiring performance until the 12th inning when he delivered a walk-off single. He has swung a hot bat since being recalled from Triple-A Charlotte May 24 by slugging two home runs, six RBI and scoring two runs across five games. Burger's at-bats are likely to dry up once Yoan Moncada (quadriceps) can return to the lineup, though he could see sporadic run at any of second base, third base or DH.
