Candelario was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder subluxation Tuesday.

Candelario suffered the injury Sunday against the Yankees. The transaction was backdated by one day, meaning Candelario will be eligible to return next Thursday, but it's not yet clear whether that's a potential target date. A subluxation is a minor dislocation, so the third baseman's recovery time will depend on just how minor his particular dislocation is. Harold Castro is the only other Tiger to play third base thus far this season, so he'll likely spend a fair amount of time there in Candelario's absence.

The Giants optioned Vosler to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

Vosler's demotion could signal that the Giants expect to bring back Darin Ruf (personal) from the bereavement list ahead of Tuesday's series opener with the Rockies. After being called up from Triple-A last Wednesday, Vosler started at third base in each of the Giants' subsequent five games and went 5-for-16 with two home runs, one double, one walk, one stolen base, four runs and three RBI.

Escobar went 4-for-5 with a double, a triple, a home run, three total runs and six total RBI in Monday's 11-5 win over the Padres.

Escobar knocked in two runs with a single in the first inning, but the best was yet to come. He followed with a double in the fourth and a homer in the eighth before completing the cycle with a two-run triple in the ninth. Per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, this was the 11th cycle in Mets history and the first since Scott Hairston accomplished the feat in April of 2012. Escobar is slashing a modest .241/.311/.414 on the campaign, but he's been coming alive at the plate of late, hitting .345 with three homers and 10 RBI over his past seven games.

Toro is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.

Toro will retreat to the bench after he went 2-for-19 with two runs and an RBI over his five games (four starts) since he returned from the 10-day injured list last Wednesday. With Taylor Trammell handling designated-hitter duties Monday in place of Toro, Dylan Moore will enter the starting nine in the outfield.

Reynolds is not in the starting lineup for Monday's contest versus the Diamondbacks.

Reynolds will take a seat after starting six straight games, going 7-for-20 with a solo home run, two runs and a stolen base in those contests. Alejo Lopez is starting at second base and batting eighth in Monday's series opener.

The Reds placed Moustakas on the injured list Monday without a designation, implying that his absence is COVID-19-related.

It's unclear whether Moustakas tested positive for the virus or was placed on the IL as a precaution, but he'll be unable to join the Reds until he's deemed asymptomatic. TJ Friedl was recalled from Triple-A Louisville to fill Moustakas' spot on the roster.

Hayes went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Hayes has led off for the Pirates against lefties all season, and he's hit atop the order in four consecutive games against righties. It's been a small sample, but he's excelled in the role to this point by going 4-for-16 with four RBI, four runs scored and a stolen base. The power production still hasn't been there for Hayes, but he's maintained a .289 batting average and swiped seven bases across 206 plate appearances for the season.

The Orioles promoted Henderson from Double-A Bowie to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

He'll be joined in Norfolk by fellow infield prospect Jordan Westburg, who also received a promotion from Bowie on Monday. The 20-year-old Henderson was slashing .312/.452/.573 with eight home runs and 12 stolen bases in 208 plate appearances at Bowie this season.

Paredes went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the White Sox.

Paredes led off the fifth frame with his fourth home run of the season. He's hit just .161 across his last 10 games, yet has slugged .419 while also collecting six RBI and four runs scored. Paredes figures to maintain increased playing time due to the absences of Wander Franco (quadriceps) and Brandon Lowe (back), but he will also compete with Vidal Brujan and Taylor Walls to be in the lineup.

Walls went 1-for-4 on Sunday against the White Sox.

Walls returned from a three-game absence that was caused by a calf issue and hit ninth while starting at shortstop. With Wander Franco (quadriceps) and Brandon Lowe (back) sidelined, Walls should continue to get considerable playing time. However, he'll need to hit better to hold off Isaac Paredes, as Walls has hit just .087 with one RBI and three runs scored across his last 15 games.
