Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Likely to undergo MRI on shoulder
Crawford told reporters after Tuesday's game that X-rays returned negative on his right shoulder, but he will likely undergo an MRI on Wednesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
The shortstop told reporters that he could barely lift his right arm after colliding with Harrison Bader in the early innings on a play at second base, and Divish notes Crawford was clearly in discomfort postgame. Crawford is listed as day-to-day for now, but his status for Wednesday's game -- and games immediately following -- is certainly in doubt for the time being.

Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Removed with shoulder issue
Crawford was removed from Tuesday's game versus the Yankees with a right shoulder contusion, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. He went 0-for-2 before exiting.
Crawford was unable to continue after grounding out in the third inning. The shortstop should be considered day-to-day for now, and Dylan Moore has taken over at shortstop with Crawford out of the lineup.

Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Leaves in third inning
Crawford left Tuesday's game against the Yankees in the third inning, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
There's no word as to why Crawford left, but it's worth noting that he dealt with a knee injury not long ago. Dylan Moore has taken over at shortstop in Crawford's place, and there should be an update as to why the veteran infielder exited the game shortly.

Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Scratched from lineup
Reyes was scratched from the Red Sox lineup for Tuesday's game against Minnesota with right abdominal soreness, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
The severity of Reyes' injury is unclear, but it's apparently enough to keep him out of Tuesday's game. The Red Sox will likely provide more updates on his status in the near future. Meanwhile, Enrique Hernandez will slide over to cover shortstop while Christian Arroyo enters at second base and bats seventh.

Angels' Zach Neto: No baseball activities yet
Neto (oblique) said Tuesday that he has yet to resume baseball activities, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Neto was placed on the 10-day injured list last Thursday with a left oblique strain, and his absence from the Angels' active roster could very well extend into July. The light-hitting Andrew Velazquez continues to fill in at shortstop.

White Sox's Tim Anderson: Held out again Tuesday
Anderson (shoulder) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
It's the third straight start Anderson has missed due to right shoulder soreness. He's considered day-to-day and it's possible he'll be ready to play Wednesday, but with an off day Thursday, it might make sense for the White Sox to go ahead and hold him out until Friday. Elvis Andrus will again handle shortstop Tuesday while Zach Remillard takes over at second base.

Royals' Bobby Witt: Hits homer, steals bag in loss
Witt went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Tigers.
Witt hit a home run and stole a base in the same game for the third time this year. It was the 23-year-old's sixth multi-hit outing of June, and he's slashing .323/.373/.452 during that 16-game stretch. His overall slash line (.248/.289/.434) could still use some work, but Witt has 12 home runs and 22 stolen bases through 71 games (308 plate appearances), giving him a formidable and well-rounded fantasy ceiling.

Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Hitting well in everyday role
Reyes went 2-for-3 with a walk and three runs scored in Monday's 9-3 win over Minnesota.
Reyes started at shortstop for the fifth time in the last six games -- the lone non-start was in the second game of Sunday's doubleheader -- and continued hitting well. He's gone 7-for-17 with one double, three RBI and five runs scored since becoming the primary shortstop. Red Sox manager Alex Cora noted to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com that he does not view Reyes as an everyday player, which suggests he's keeping the position warm until Yu Chang (wrist) is ready to be activated from the injured list.

White Sox's Tim Anderson: 'Reports are good' on shoulder
White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Monday that "reports are good" on Anderson (shoulder) and he remains day-to-day, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Anderson is missing a second straight start Monday due to right shoulder soreness. However, it sounds like he has a pretty good chance to avoid the injured list. "He's actually OK," Grifol said. "He's day to day, reports were good. He's still a little sore. So I'll check with him after the game, after the round of treatments, see what we'll do tomorrow. Reports are good and he's day to day. It's not too bad."
