Fletcher (groin) is not in the lineup Tuesday against Cleveland, Daniel Guerrero of MLB.com reports.

Fletcher will be sidelined for the third straight game Tuesday after initially playing through the groin issue last week. The team previously indicated a trip to the injured list wasn't expected, though it's unclear whether that assessment has changed. Phil Gosselin will start at the keystone Tuesday in his absence.

Mondesi (oblique) has been transferred to Triple-A Omaha to continue his rehab assignment Tuesday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

The move marks one step closer toward Mondesi's looming return to big-league action. The switch hitter likely would have been activated by now if not for his lefty swing being a bit behind in the rehab, but the move to Triple-A suggests Mondesi is swinging comfortably from both sides of the plate.

Lindor went 0-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base in Mondays' 3-1 win over Atlanta.

Lindor swiped his third bag of the year in the top of the seventh inning after reaching base on a free pass. Although he was able to showcase his speed in the victory, he continues to scuffle at the dish, as he's now 9-for-50 with two homers, five RBI and two stolen bases in May (14 games).

Turner went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Cubs.

The shortstop took Adbert Alzolay deep in the third inning, putting the Nats on the board and giving Turner his 10th long ball of the year. He remains one of the hottest hitters in the game in May -- through 15 games, Turner is hitting .365 (23-for-63) with four doubles, four homers, two steals, nine runs and 11 RBI.

Baez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 7-3 win over the Nationals.

Baez struck out twice but also managed his ninth home run of the season by taking former teammate Jon Lester deep in the sixth inning. The dynamic shortstop got off to a bit of a slow start and recently missed a few games due to back tightness, but he has his OPS up to .809.

Mateo (COVID-19) was activated from the injured list prior to Monday's game against the Rockies.

Mateo was forced to the injured list after being listed as a close contact, but he'll be available Monday after a brief absence. He's 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI through five games in May.

Mateo (COVID-19) could be activated ahead of Monday's game against the Rockies, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Both Mateo and Jurickson Profar (COVID-19) were spotted playing catch on the field prior to Monday's matchup, and manager Jayce Tingler stated that he's hopeful both players will return from the injured list in time for the series opener. The team has yet to make an official announcement on Mateo's status.

Camargo was recalled by Atlanta on Monday.

Camargo is now on his fourth separate stint on the big-league roster. He was recalled last Monday before being optioned Saturday, but he's up again just two days later with Ender Inciarte heading to the paternity list. None of his previous opportunities led to regular at-bats, and it's unlikely this one will, either.

Fletcher (groin) remains on the bench Monday against Cleveland.

Fletcher dealt with the groin issue throughout last week but played through it for several games before sitting Sunday's game out. Playing through the injury didn't seem to be working, as he's gone hitless in four straight games. The Angels do believe he'll be able to avoid a trip to the injured list, per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times. He'll remain on the bench Monday with Phil Gosselin getting the nod at second base.

Crawford went 1-for-3 with a two-run single and a walk in a win over Cleveland on Sunday.

The hot-hitting shortstop continued to demonstrate his season-long knack for timely hitting with his third-inning single, which drove in Mitch Haniger and Kyle Seager with the Mariners' second and third runs of the day. Crawford now has 14 RBI despite having hit out of the bottom third of the order in 32 of 41 games, with his .327 and .333 averages with men on base and men in scoring position, respectively, responsible for that figure.
