Leonardo Rivas SS | SEA
Mariners' Leonardo Rivas: Back in big leagues
Rivas was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.
Rivas was optioned back to the minors May 20 after struggling to see consistent playing time, but he'll return to the big leagues following the placement of Dylan Moore on the paternity list. Rivas could share time at the keystone with Ryan Bliss over the next few days until Moore is back with the team. Bliss will draw the start at second base Monday night.

Dylan Moore 2B | TEX
Mariners' Dylan Moore: Paternity leave coming soon
The Mariners are expected to place Moore on the paternity leave list, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Moore is in Monday's lineup against the White Sox, so it appears the move won't occur until after the game. Leonardo Rivas and Jhonathan Diaz have joined the Mariners' taxi squad and it sounds one of them will join the active roster as Moore's replacement.

J.P. Crawford SS | SEA
Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Pops sixth homer
Crawford went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in an extra-inning win over the Royals on Sunday.
Crawford got the Mariners off on the right foot with his leadoff solo shot, his second in as many games. The veteran shortstop extended his hitting streak to six games in the process, making it arguably his best offensive stretch of a season that now sees him carrying a .226/.308/.396 slash line through 42 games.

Paul DeJong SS | NYY
White Sox's Paul DeJong: Keeps mashing
DeJong went 2-for-3 with a double and a three-run home run during Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Red Sox in 10 innings.
DeJong has been on a tear across the White Sox's last three series, launching five homers in nine games, and Sunday's multi-hit performance was his fourth during that stretch. The veteran shortstop is amidst a bit of a career revival during his first season in Chicago, slashing .238/.287/.482 -- each mark of which would be his best since 2020.

David Hamilton SS | BOS
Red Sox's David Hamilton: Homers, swipes another bag
Hamilton went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run during Sunday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the White Sox.
Hamilton clubbed his third home run of the season Sunday, taking Chris Flexen yard in the fifth inning. He also scored the game-tying run in the ninth, reaching on a double off Tanner Banks and stealing third base before scoring on a sac fly by Reese McGuire. Hamilton finished the four-game series against the White Sox having gone 6-for-17 (.353) with four stolen bases, two doubles, a homer and three runs scored.

Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Twins' Carlos Correa: Reaches base four times
Correa went 3-for-5 with a walk, two runs scored and two RBI in Sunday's 11-5 win over the Pirates.
Correa plated two on a 10th-inning single, scoring later in the frame to cap off a seven-run inning for the Twins. The 29-year-old notched his third multi-hit effort over his past four games, reaching base four times in Sunday's win. Correa owns a solid .265/.335/.441 slash line, but he has provided limited power with just five home runs and 26 RBI in 47 games played.

Max Schuemann 2B | ATH
Athletics' Max Schuemann: Records fourth steal in loss
Schuemann went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in a loss to the Blue Jays on Saturday.
The Athletics fell victim to Kevin Gausman's first career shutout and went down on strikes 10 times against the veteran right-hander, so Schuemann's performance is one that passes for a successful one in that context. The rookie now has singles in back-to-back games and is enjoying a solid June thus far, producing a .348 average and .766 OPS across his first 24 plate appearances of the month (seven games).

Corey Seager SS | TEX
Rangers' Corey Seager: Still out of lineup
Seager (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Giants.
Seager will miss his third straight game Sunday due to a left hamstring strain he sustained Wednesday against the Tigers. The Rangers have an off day Monday, so the 30-year-old will have four days off before the upcoming road series against the Dodgers starting Tuesday. Josh Smith will once again start at shortstop Sunday, while Ezequiel Duran serves at the hot corner against Giants right-hander Keaton Winn.

Romy Gonzalez 2B | BOS
Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Rehab assignment on tap
Gonzalez (hamstring) is set to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.
Boston's unsettled second base position offers a path to regular playing time for Gonzalez once he's activated. The right-handed hitter should be part of a rotation along with Enmanuel Valdez while Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) remains on the injured list. Even when Grissom returns, Gonzalez could still figure into the mix.

Javier Baez SS | DET
Tigers' Javier Baez: Not starting Sunday
Baez is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Brewers.
Baez will begin Sunday's game in the dugout after starting in each of the first two games of the series, going 1-for-7 with two strikeouts. The lefty-hitting Zach McKinstry will start at shortstop and bat seventh against Milwaukee right-hander Bryse Wilson.
