MLB Player News

Hamilton was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Worcester on Saturday, retroactive to June 2, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Hamilton will be sidelined for at least the next week, but the Red Sox don't expect him to face a lengthy absence. The 25-year-old is performing well in his first taste of the Triple-A level this year with a .267/.344/.524 slash line, 11 homers and 26 stolen bases in 47 games.

Duran is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners while managing some "tightness," but his absence appears to be mostly precautionary, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The Rangers haven't clarified whether Duran's tightness is related to the mild right oblique discomfort that briefly kept him on the injured list until he was activated Saturday. He picked up a start in left field in Saturday's 16-6 win, going 1-for-1 with two walks and two runs before he was lifted from the game in the top of the seventh inning with Texas leading by seven runs. Duran should still be viewed as day-to-day, but he appears likely to be back in the lineup for Monday's series opener with the Cardinals.

Crawford, who is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rangers, has a bruised knee and is scheduled to receive treatment Sunday and Monday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Assuming Crawford's knee responds well to the treatment, he should be back in the starting nine for Tuesday's series opener in San Diego. Jose Caballero has shifted over to shortstop for Sunday's contest while Kolten Wong covers the keystone.

Crawford (knee) is not in the starting lineup versus the Rangers on Sunday.

Crawford suffered a late knee injury during Saturday's blowout loss to the Rangers, and while he was optimistic about being able to play Sunday, the Mariners will be cautious and have their starting shortstop sit at least one game with an off day coming Monday. Jose Caballero will handle shortstop duties with Kolten Wong starting at second base.

Correa (heel) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Assuming Correa doesn't come off the bench to play, this will make four of five games that the shortstop won't be able to play as he continues to be stymied by plantar fasciitis in his left heel. With Correa again out of the lineup, Kyle Farmer will get the start at shortstop and hit eighth. Correa should still be considered day-to-day, but fantasy managers will need to monitor this situation for the foreseeable future.

Neto (foot) is playing shortstop and hitting ninth versus Houston on Sunday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Neto sat out Saturday's game against Houston after being removed from Friday's contest with a bruise on his left foot, but the rookie shortstop is good to go Sunday for the series finale against the Astros.

Franco (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The 22-year-old sat out Game 2 of Saturday's twin bill due to the hamstring injury he picked up during the matinee, and it's not a major surprise the Rays will give him at least one full day to rest. According to Topkin, Franco is receiving treatment and could be back in the lineup for Monday's series finale in Boston. Taylor Walls will make another start at shortstop Sunday for Tampa Bay.

Duran started in left field and went 1-for-1 with two walks in Saturday's 16-6 win over the Mariners.

Duran was activated off the injured list, and the Rangers put his dangerous bat in the lineup. He slashed .301/.346/.921 with five home runs, five doubles, 11 RBI and 13 runs scored during the month of May before hitting the IL. He's in a crowded mix for at-bats in left field and at DH.

Witt went 3-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Rockies.

Witt snapped out of a minor slump, posting three singles after entering Saturday's game 2-for-20 in his last five appearances. The youngster has slashed .236/.272/.430 with 10 home runs through 57 games. He also ranks fourth in MLB with 18 steals, five of which have come in his past nine games.

Crawford suffered a knee injury in the eighth inning of Saturday's loss to the Rangers but he plans to play against Texas on Sunday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Crawford suffered the knee injury while making a dive into second base and colliding with Leody Taveras. While Crawford was able to stay in the game, it was clear the shortstop was dealing with soreness. If the pain doesn't subside, he may sit out a game, but for now Crawford should be considered likely to be in the lineup for Sunday's finale against the Rangers.
