The Tigers recalled Kreidler from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Kreidler has missed a large chunk of the minor-league season with a fractured finger, but he had recently rejoined the roster at Toledo, where he's gone 4-for-25 at the plate in nine games. He's starting at shortstop Tuesday versus the Nationals and is expected to form the short side of a platoon at the position while Javier Baez (back) is out, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Defers (knee) is batting fourth and playing third base Tuesday against Philadelphia, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Devers missed Sunday's game with left knee soreness but he's back in the lineup for Tuesday's series opener. He's 8-for-25 (.320) with three homers through seven games in June and owns a .932 OPS on the year.

Muncy (oblique) said Tuesday on Foul Territory that he's "not progressing as fast" as he would like from his strained right oblique.

Muncy's comments mesh with what manager Dave Roberts said over the weekend, which was that the third baseman is working on a "slow program." The 33-year-old recently progressed to taking dry swings and doing plyo-ball workouts, and he doesn't appear to be close to rejoining the Dodgers. Enrique Hernandez has been operating as Los Angeles' primary third baseman in the meantime and will likely continue to fill that role.

Miranda is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

After starting 22 straight contests, Miranda is now on the bench for the second day in a row. Trevor Larnach is in the designated hitter spot and Alex Kirilloff will play first base for the Twins on Tuesday.

Lewis went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer and two runs scored in Monday's win over Colorado.

Lewis blasted a Nick Mears curveball 435 feet in the eighth inning, stretching Minnesota's lead to 5-0. The Twins third baseman has impressively hit four homers in seven games this season, requiring just 24 plate appearances. Overall, Lewis is hitting .333 (7-for-21) with five runs scored, six RBI and 2:5 BB:K.

San Francisco is optimistic that Chapman (hamstring) will be back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Houston, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Chapman is missing his second straight contest Monday due to a hamstring cramp, but his absence isn't expected to last much longer. The Giants figure to re-evaluate the third baseman in the morning before making a final decision on his availability for Tuesday.

Bregman (hand) will start at third base and bat second in Monday's game in San Francisco.

Bregman was removed from Sunday's game against the Angels after being hit on the left hand by a pitch. It was the second time in the last week that he's been struck on the hand by a pitch, but X-rays again came back negative and he won't miss any starts this time around.

Triple-A Las Vegas placed Harris on its 7-day injured list June 4 with an unspecified injury.

After a three-week stint in Oakland, Harris was optioned to Las Vegas on May 24. The 25-year-old quickly settled back into an everyday role with the Triple-A club, but he suffered an apparent injury in his fourth start since he rejoined the affiliate and was deactivated a few days later. He's without a clear timeline to return to the Las Vegas lineup.

Chapman (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Astros, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Chapman will sit for a second straight game due to a hamstring cramp he sustained in Saturday's game against the Rangers. Casey Schmitt will start at the hot corner and bat ninth against Houston right-hander Spencer Arrighetti.

Miranda is out of the lineup for Monday's game versus the Rockies.

For the first time since May 16, Miranda will head to the bench. With Miranda out of the starting nine, Carlos Santana will occupy first base while Alex Kirilloff serves as the Twins' designated hitter.
