Brett Harris 3B | ATH
Athletics' Brett Harris: Joining big club
The A's recalled Harris from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.
The 27-year-old will get his first chance in the big leagues this season as Max Muncy (hand) lands on the injured list. Harris had a .274/.349/.342 slash line in 32 MLB games last season and isn't likely to fill a significant role while up with the Athletics.

Emmanuel Rivera: Continues career in Mexico

Rivera spent the entire 2025 campaign in the Orioles' system, seeing action in 43 games at the big-league level while slashing .250/.291/.283 with zero home runs and one stolen base across 127 plate appearances.

Padres' Manny Machado: Exits as precaution
Manager Craig Stammen said after Monday's game against the Cubs that Machado is "fine" and was removed from the contest as a precautionary move, Marty Caswell of Foul Territyory reports.
The veteran third baseman came out of the batter's box awkwardly and wasn't moving well down the line in the sixth inning Monday, so the Padres elected to lift him from the contest after he went 3-for-4 with two doubles and three runs scored. Stammen didn't mention a specific injury but indicated Machado's lower half wasn't feeling great after a couple of slides into second base. He should be considered day-to-day heading into Tuesday's matchup with Chicago.

Josh Jung 3B | TEX
Rangers' Josh Jung: Moved to second in order
Jung batted second and went 1-for-2 with two walks in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Yankees. He was also caught stealing.
Jung, who's been on a tear lately, was moved to second in the order for the first time this season. He was the fourth different Ranger to bat second since Wyatt Langford (forearm) was placed on the 10-day injured list last week. Jung entered the night slashing .410/.442/.923 with four home runs and 11 RBI over the previous 10 games.

Padres' Manny Machado: Exits with injury
Machado left Monday's game against the Cubs with an unspecified injury, 97.3 The Fan reports.
Machado left the matchup after grounding out to end the bottom of the sixth inning. He made it about halfway up the line before turning around and walking slowly off the field. The nature of Machado's injury is unclear at this time, so he can be considered day-to-day until the club has another update to share.

Parks Harber 3B | SF
Giants' Parks Harber: Returns from MiLB IL
Harber (hamstring) was activated from the 7-day injured list Friday.
Harber suffered a Grade 2 right hamstring strain in mid-March and was expected to need 4-to-6 weeks to recover. He's looked sharp at the dish in three games since returning to action, going 5-for-14 with one double, one RBI and two runs scored at Triple-A Sacramento.

Max Muncy 3B | LAD
Dodgers' Max Muncy: Back in action Monday
Muncy (illness) will start at third base and bat sixth in Monday's contest against the Marlins.
Muncy was under the weather over the weekend, forcing an early exit from Saturday's game versus the Cubs. He did not play Sunday, though the Dodgers said he had been scheduled for a day off, anyway. Muncy is ready to go for the series opener versus the Marlins and will carry a robust 1.028 OPS into play Monday.

Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA
Angels' Yoan Moncada: Sitting amid lefty-heavy stretch
Moncada is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
Moncada is a switch hitter, but since he's been far more productive against right-handers (112 wRC+) than left-handers (91 wRC+) throughout his career, the Angels have been deploying him as a strong-side platoon player. He'll hit the bench Monday for the fifth time in six games, with each of his absences coming against lefty starters.

Tanner Murray 3B | CHW
White Sox's Tanner Murray: Out 4-to-6 months
The White Sox placed Murray on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left shoulder dislocation and fracture.
Murray suffered the injury during Sunday's game against the Nationals when he landed awkwardly after making a diving catch in left field. There is a fracture in the dislocated shoulder that requires surgery, which White Sox manager Will Venable relayed will take about 4-to-6 months to recover from, per James Fegan of SoxMachine.com. That timeline means the earliest Murray would return is late August.
