Arenado (neck) is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Arenado was a late scratch from Monday's series opener at Wrigley Field due to neck stiffness, but he is good to go for the second game of the three-game set. He's starting at third base and batting cleanup versus right-hander Jameson Taillon.

Farmer (mouth) will go through pregame workouts with the Twins on Tuesday but will not be activated prior to their game against the Padres, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

His activation is imminent, however, with manager Rocco Baldelli saying it "could be tomorrow, could be the next day, could be the day after that." Farmer had another scheduled dental procedure Monday as he continues to work his way back from being hit in the face with a pitch last month.

Rivera is serving as the designated hitter and batting second Tuesday versus the Marlins.

Rivera has quickly taken on a prominent role in the Diamondbacks' offense, and rightly so. The 26-year-old is slashing .406/.424/.594 through 10 games (33 plate appearances) since his promotion from Triple-A Reno on April 25.

Peraza (ankle) could begin a rehab assignment within the next few days, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Peraza was finally placed on the injured list Tuesday with a right ankle sprain that's been bothering him for about a week, but it would appear he's nearly game-ready. If he's able to progress without setbacks, a return when first eligible (May 16) seems possible.

Donaldson (hamstring) will go through another week of "intense baseball activities" before starting a rehab assignment, Yankees manager Aaron Boone told Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger.

It had seemed like a rehab assignment for Donaldson was imminent, but he'll need to get through a few more days of workouts first. That would seem to put him on a timetable to return toward the end of the month, if all goes well. Donaldson has been out since early April with a right hamstring strain.

Wisdom is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Cardinals.

Wisdom still has terrific overall numbers, but he has fallen into a 7-for-40 (.175) slump in the last couple of weeks. Nick Madrigal will play third base Tuesday versus St. Louis. Christopher Morel is at second.

Orioles general manager Mike Elias said that Urias (hamstring) will "miss a good bit of time" after being placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Elias didn't go into detail about how long Urias might be sidelined, but the utility infielder seems likely to miss beyond the minimum 10 days. Urias suffered a left hamstring strain during Monday's game versus the Rays.

LeMahieu is absent from the Yankees' lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Athletics, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

It looks to be a simple day of rest for LeMahieu. Oswaldo Cabrera will handle third base for the Yankees.

Prieto has a .364/.411/.485 slash line with two home runs, three steals and more walks (seven) than strikeouts (five) through 107 plate appearances with Double-A Bowie.

The lefty-hitting Cuban infielder got $650,000 in January of 2022 due to the strength of his hit tool, and thus far he has shown major improvements in a repeat of Double-A, where he was below league average (77 wRC+) in 90 games last year. Prieto's 4.7 percent strikeout rate is by far the best mark in all of Double-A -- next best is Domingo Leyba's 10.1 percent strikeout rate. Prieto, who turns 24 this week, has seen time at second base (11 starts), shortstop (six starts) and third base (five starts).

Reynolds cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

While he's no longer on the Reds' 40-man roster, Reynolds will remain in the organization. He'll likely serve as a utility infielder at Louisville.
