Candelario was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list prior to Tuesday's game against the Royals, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Candelario missed much of last week due to a personal matter and then had to be placed on the COVID-19 injured list to undergo health protocols Saturday. He's been cleared to return to the team, though it's not known whether he'll be in the starting lineup Tuesday in Kansas City.

Moncada (illness) is out again Tuesday as he deals with a sinus infection, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Moncada will miss his third game in the last four days and is day-to-day with the sinus infection. It's unclear when exactly he'll return to the lineup, but Leury Garcia is filling in at third base Tuesday and figures to do so until Moncada is back in action.

Madrigal (hamstring) had successful surgery Tuesday and will officially miss the rest of the 2021 season.

The surgery repaired the proximal tendon tears in Madrigal's right hamstring. The second baseman was initially placed on the 60-day injured list with optimism of a late-season return, but any such hopes were eliminated with the team's Tuesday update. Madrigal is expected to be fully recovered in time for the start of next season.

Sosa started at second base in Monday's win over the Marlins, going 2-for-4 with an RBI single.

Sosa was in the starting nine for the first time since Paul DeJong's return from the injured list, and he commemorated the occasion by churning out his second multi-hit effort in his last three starts. The versatile 25-year-old doesn't offer much pop, but he does now have a solid .268 average and elite .360 on-base percentage across 111 plate appearances.

Vosler went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 5-2 win over Arizona.

The 27-year-old was intentionally walked with two outs in the fifth inning, then stole second base. He added a double in the second. Vosler is slashing only .195/.250/.488, but he's provided three home runs, four RBI, seven runs scored and two stolen bases across 44 plate appearances. He's likely to split time with Wilmer Flores at third base while Evan Longoria (shoulder) is on the mend.

Suarez will move back to shortstop when Mike Moustakas (heel) returns from the IL later this week, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Suarez has been back at third base while Moustakas has been out, and that makes the Reds' infield defense better, but the team wants to keep Jonathan India's bat in the lineup, so Suarez will move back to shortstop.

Angels manager Joe Maddon said after Monday's 8-5 loss to the Athletics that Rendon was removed in the seventh inning after he "felt something in his triceps" when he made a diving play at third base, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Rendon went 1-for-3 with a base hit before being replaced at third base by Kean Wong. The injury in question occurred in the fifth, when he was unable to get a glove on Chad Pinder's liner down the third-base line that went for a double. Maddon admitted that the Angels are unsure about the severity of Rendon's injury, so the 31-year-old will presumably be reevaluated Tuesday before the team provides an update on his status.

Wisdom went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Mets.

The 29-year-old continues to demonstrate that the power he showed in the minors can play in the majors as well. Wisdom has gone yard nine times in 20 games since being called up in late May, although his overall .333/.390/.870 slash line is unsustainable, considering his 35.6 percent strikeout rate and .375 BABIP.

Devers went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's victory over the Blue Jays.

Devers came through in the clutch in the bottom of the ninth inning, singling home the game-winning run after Toronto pulled even in the top half of the frame. The 24-year-old is slashing .276/.340/.552 with 15 homers, 50 RBI and three stolen bases through 63 contests so far this year.

Newman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's loss to Washington.

Newman put the Pirates on the board in the second inning with a solo homer over the fence in left, but the Nationals would rally to come away with a 3-2 victory. The 27-year-old's struggles at the dish have continued into the first half of June, as he's now 7-for-33 with three RBI and a stolen base through 11 contests.
