Hightower (hamstring) has gone 4-for-22 with two RBI and four runs scored over six games since being assigned to Single-A Lake Elsinore on April 30.

Hightower's season debut was delayed by a hamstring injury, but he looks to be back to full health. He's had a tough time finding his groove at the dish in his first taste of professional baseball but should see plenty of opportunities to acclimate at Single-A. The Padres selected Hightower with the 88th overall pick of the 2024 First-Year Player Draft.

Sweeney is starting at shortstop and batting eighth in Monday's game against the Red Sox.

Sweeney got Sunday off after starting the previous 19 games, but he'll get right back in there Monday. The 25-year-old has been hot in May, slashing .400/.417/.600 with two home runs, seven RBI and nine runs scored in nine games this month, which has helped him prop up his overall numbers after a slow start to the season.

Ortiz is not in the Brewers' starting lineup against the Guardians on Monday.

Ortiz will begin Monday's series opener in the dugout while Andruw Monasterio starts at shortstop and bats eighth. Ortiz has struggled at the plate this season and has gone 4-for-32 with a solo home run since the beginning of May.

Seager (hamstring) is likely to be placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Seager wasn't deactivated Monday when the Rangers recalled first baseman Jake Burger from Triple-A Round Rock. However, the Rangers are expected to just wait to place Seager on the IL until Tuesday, when catcher Kyle Higashioka (intercostal) is likely to be activated from the IL. Seager previously landed on the IL on April 23 due to a right hamstring strain, then played in just five games after being activated May 2 before aggravating the injury.

The Pirates reinstated Kiner-Falefa (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Kiner-Falefa was placed on the 10-day injured list May 1 due to a right hamstring strain. He quickly resumed baseball activities and was able to run the bases over the weekend, and he's recovered enough that a rehab assignment is not needed. Kiner-Falefa slashed .280/.333/.330 with six stolen bases and seven RBI prior to his injury, and he should be back in the Pirates' starting lineup against the Mets on Monday. Liover Peguero was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move.

Smith is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies due to back soreness, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Smith was not included in the lineup the Rangers released, but evidently the plan had been for him to play before his back began aching. He is considered day-to-day.

Arizona recalled Lawlar from Triple-A Reno prior to Monday's game against the Giants.

Arizona designated infielder/outfielder Garrett Hampson for assignment to open up a spot on the 26-man active roster for Lawlar, who is back in the big leagues for the first time since 2023. The 22-year-old hit just .129 over a 14-game sample with Arizona that season, then spent all of 2024 in the minors while missing considerable time due to a torn ligament in his thumb as well as a Grade 1 hamstring strain. Despite the injury-plagued season, Lawlar maintained his status as the Diamondbacks' top prospect, and he opened the 2025 campaign healthy and slashed .336/.413/.579 with six home runs and 13 steals in 37 games with Reno to push his way back onto the big-league roster. The Diamondbacks don't have an obvious everyday spot in the lineup available for Lawlar, but he's expected to pick up a handful of starts per week while rotating between second base, third base and shortstop after seeing time at all three positions with Reno this season.

Seager (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

It marks the fourth time across the last five contests that Seager has been out of the lineup due to a right hamstring issue. Seager spent time on injured list in late April and early May with an injury to the same hamstring. The Rangers are considering him day-to-day for the time being. Ezequiel Duran is at shortstop and batting ninth for the Rangers on Monday.

The White Sox activated Workman (hip) from the 10-day injured list Monday and designated him for assignment.

Workman is over the hip injury that sent him to the IL after just one game for the White Sox, but the team has decided they don't have room for him on the 26-man active roster or 40-man roster. The Rule 5 pick has now been designated for assignment by both Chicago franchises and will be available via waivers again. If he clears waivers, he must be offered back to the Tigers for $50,000.

The Guardians optioned Rocchio to Triple-A Columbus on Monday.

Rocchio was the Guardians' primary shortstop last season and began 2025 in the same role, but his playing time had fallen off considerably in recent weeks amidst a .165/.235/.198 slash line in his first 35 contests. Gabriel Arias has been seeing the lion's share of the reps at shortstop lately and will continue to serve as the main option at the position while Rocchio heads to Triple-A.
