Xander Bogaerts SS | SD
Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Goes on paternity list
The Padres placed Bogaerts on the paternity leave list Tuesday.
Bogaerts will likely be away from the club for its final two games of a series versus the Reds before he rejoins his teammates this weekend when the Padres begin a road trip in Baltimore. Sung-Mun Song will likely handle shortstop for San Diego while Bogaerts is away.

Angel Cepeda SS | CHC
Cubs' Angel Cepeda: Missing in action
High-A South Bend placed Cepeda on the 7-day injured list April 29 with a lower-body injury, Geoff Pontes of Baseball America reports.
Cepeda hasn't played since April 18 due to the injury. The 20-year-old infielder has hit .211 with one steal, zero home runs and seven strikeouts in five games this season.

Jose Caballero SS | NYY
Yankees' Jose Caballero: Will not start Tuesday's game
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said on the "Talkin' Yanks" podcast by Jomboy Media that Caballero will not be in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cleveland.
The Yankees will go with Anthony Volpe at shortstop in the second game of the three-game set. Since returning from the injured list in late May, Caballero has started 11 of 15 games (five at shortstop), while Volpe has started 10 of 15 (all at shortstop).

Zachary Neto SS | LAA
Angels' Zach Neto: Homers in third straight game
Neto went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's extra-inning loss to Houston.
Neto came up big in the seventh inning, slugging a solo shot to give the Angels a 4-3 lead. The talented young shortstop has now gone deep in each of his past three games, though those are his only hits during that span, and they've been accompanied by seven strikeouts. That's pretty indicative of how the season has gone for Neto -- he's batting an uninspiring .231 with a 30.4 percent strikeout rate through 64 contests, yet 28 of his 58 hits have gone for extra bases (14 doubles, one triple and 13 homers). He also has 10 thefts and is one of 11 big-leaguers so far with double-digit long balls and steals.

Leo De Vries SS | ATH
Athletics' Leo De Vries: Back in action
De Vries (finger) went 0-for-4 with one walk and one run scored during Sunday's 9-6 loss to Double-A Northwest Arkansas.
De Vries missed a few days of action at the end of May after picking up a bone bruise on his right ring finger, but he managed to avoid a trip to the injured list. He returned to the field May 29 and is batting .276 with three RBI, two stolen bags and six runs scored in eight games since suffering the finger injury.

Denzer Guzman 3B | LAA
Angels' Denzer Guzman: Officially called up by Halos
The Angels recalled Guzman from Triple-A Salt Lake and he will start at second base and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Astros.
The Angels needed more depth in the infield after placing both Vaughn Grissom (oblique) and Adam Frazier (elbow) on the 10-day injured list, so Guzman and Trey Mancini will both join the big club's 26-man roster. Guzman appeared in 13 major-league games for the Angels in 2025 and went 8-for-42 (.190) with two home runs and three RBI. He's been far more productive at the plate in Triple-A, where he has a .336/.403/.571 slash line with nine steals (in 13 attempts), 12 home runs and 57 RBI in 268 plate appearances.

Darell Hernaiz SS | ATH
Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Sent down to Triple-A
The Athletics optioned Hernaiz to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.
The Athletics had to make room on the 26-man roster after Max Muncy (hand) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Monday, and Hernaiz was selected to move down to Triple-A. He has a .606 OPS with three steals, one home run and seven RBI over 134 plate appearances this season but has gone 3-for-26 (.115) across his last nine games. Hernaiz will work on his approach at the plate with Las Vegas and could return to the big club should the Athletics need depth in the infield.

Gavin Lux SS | TB
Rays' Gavin Lux: Taking BP on Tuesday
Lux (shoulder) is scheduled to take live batting practice against teammate Craig Kimbrel (wrist) on Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
The Rays announced May 12 that Lux was pulled off his minor-league rehab assignment due to left shoulder inflammation, after it was a right shoulder impingement sustained back in the spring that initially caused him to open the season on the shelf. Lux had been shut down from all baseball activities shortly after experiencing the setback, but the Rays' decision to clear him to face live pitching Tuesday suggests that he's been able to ramp back up over the last week or so. Tampa Bay hasn't provided any indication regarding when Lux might resume his rehab assignment, however, so his return from the 60-day IL shouldn't be viewed as imminent.

Nick Allen SS | HOU
Astros' Nick Allen: Shelved by hamstring strain
The Astros placed Allen on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a left hamstring strain.
Allen was removed from Sunday's game against the Athletics after tweaking his hamstring while running out a grounder, and an MRI revealed a strain. It's unclear how severe the strain is, but even a mild one has the potential to keep Allen out beyond the minimum 10 days.

J.P. Crawford SS | SEA
Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Hits IL with hand contusion
The Mariners placed Crawford (hand) on the 10-day injured list Monday.
Seattle is continuing to classify Crawford's injury as a right hand contusion rather than a sprain or fracture, but the bruise is evidently painful enough for the veteran infielder that the Mariners opted to shut him down through at least the rest of the week. While Crawford is on the shelf, Colt Emerson is slated to serve as Seattle's primary shortstop, which will open up third base for Patrick Wisdom.
