Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Sheds walking boot
Hernaiz (ankle) is out of his walking boot and will begin a strength and fitness program this week, MLB.com reports.
The 22-year-old has been making very slow progress from his severe ankle sprain, but it appears his recovery is starting to gather some momentum just over a month after he initially suffered the injury. Hernaiz's next step after the strength and fitness program will be to resume baseball activities, with the start date for that benchmark still to be determined.

Mariners' Dylan Moore: Placed on paternity list
Moore was placed on the paternity list ahead of Monday's matchup with the White Sox.
Moore was originally set to start at second base and bat ninth in Monday's series opener with the White Sox, but he will now be away from the team for up to three games. In his absence, Ryan Bliss could see some extra work at second base while Leonardo Rivas was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma to replace Moore on the major-league roster.

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.

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.

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.
