  • Brian Anderson RF | ATL

    Marlins' Brian Anderson: Shifts to 60-day IL

    Anderson (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    The move comes shortly after it was revealed the 28-year-old has yet to resume hitting as previously expected, and he now won't be able to be activated until at least late July. Anderson landed on the shelf May 25 with a left shoulder subluxation and will end up missing two months dues to the injury, at minimum. Isan Diaz should continue operating as Miami's third baseman in the meantime.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Part of Monday's lineup

    Hayes will bat second and start at third base Monday against the Nationals.

    Hayes, who is 3-for-6 against Monday starter Jon Lester, has at least one hit in each of the 11 games he's started and finished in 2021. He holds a slash line of .302/.362/.605 with three homers in 47 plate appearances, picking up where he left off after an impressive 2020 showing. Perhaps most importantly, the 24-year-old hasn't reported any recurrence of the wrist injury that forced him to the 60-day injured list earlier in the season.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Tigers' Isaac Paredes: Sent back to Triple-A

    Paredes was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Monday.

    The 22-year-old was promoted from Triple-A last week and went 3-for-21 with a home run, two RBI and two runs in six appearances during his brief time with the team. Paredes could rejoin the Tigers later in the season when the team requires infield depth.

  • Tigers' Jeimer Candelario: Returning Monday or Tuesday

    Candelario is in Kansas City as he waits to clear intake protocols and could return as soon as Monday and no later than Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Candelario missed most of last week while on the bereavement list. He then hit the COVID-19 injured list on Saturday as he goes through health protocols, but his return appears to be imminent.

  • Brian Anderson RF | ATL

    Marlins' Brian Anderson: Still not swinging

    Anderson (shoulder) has yet to begin hitting, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Reports from early last week indicated that Anderson was on the verge of starting his hitting progression, but he's still yet to take that step. He was expected to miss several weeks when he landed on the injured list with a left shoulder subluxation in late May, but it remains unclear exactly when the Marlins expect him back.

  • Mike Moustakas 3B | CHW

    Reds' Mike Moustakas: Beginning rehab stint

    Moustakas (heel) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday and could be activated during the four-game series at San Diego, which begins Thursday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    The 32-year-old has been sidelined by a bruised right heel since May 18, but he's on the cusp of his return after a nearly monthlong absence. Moustakas is only expected to require a few games in the minors to get back up to speed, assuming he avoids any setbacks.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Not feeling well, out Monday

    Manager Tony La Russa said Moncada is unavailable Monday against the Rays due "a lot of discomfort" and "congestion," Vinnie Duber of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

    The 26-year-old is out of the lineup for the second time in the past three days, so it's not a major surprise to hear he's not feeling well. Moncada should be considered day-to-day while battling the cold, and La Russa is optimistic the ailment will be a short-term concern. Leury Garcia will operate at third base Monday for the White Sox.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Sitting Monday

    Moncada is out of the lineup Monday against the Rays.

    Moncada is 5-for-31 with 12 strikeouts over his past eight games and will take a seat Monday for the second time in the past three days. Leury Garcia will work at the hot corner while Brian Goodwin receives the nod in center field.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Tigers' Isaac Paredes: On bench Monday

    Paredes isn't starting Monday against the Royals.

    Paredes had started each of the last six games, but he'll get a breather after he went 0-for-5 with two walks and two strikeouts across his last two appearances. Harold Castro will take over at third base and bat second.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Brief IL stint expected

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said over the weekend that he anticipates Muncy (oblique) spending the minimum 10 days on the injured list, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Roberts' comments imply some level of confidence that Muncy is dealing with a low-grade strain to his right oblique, but given the volatile timetables typically associated with this type of injury, it's hardly a given that the 30-year-old will be ready to return from the IL when first eligible June 22. Muncy will travel with the Dodgers for their six-game, two-city road trip that begins Friday, and he'll likely need to prove his health in batting practice and fielding and baserunning drills during the upcoming weekend in order to guarantee a brief IL stint.
