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.

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.

Crawford (hand) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

The Mariners will keep Crawford on the bench for a third straight game while he's still tending to a bruised right hand, which stems from him being hit by a 95.6-mph fastball during Friday's 7-3 loss to the Tigers. With Crawford taking a seat, the Mariners will once again go with Colt Emerson at shortstop and Patrick Wisdom at third base.

The Rays optioned Dunn to Triple-A Durham on Monday.

Dunn made only one start during his two-plus weeks with the big club and was just 1-for-11 at the plate in nine contests. He's being sent out in favor of Austin Slater.

Wilson (shoulder) went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored Sunday with Triple-A Las Vegas.

Making his second rehab appearance while working back from a left shoulder subluxation, Wilson led off the bottom of the first inning with a double and came around to score later in the frame. Prior to being shelved, the shortstop hit .292/.311/.398 with three homers, eight doubles, 19 RBI, 18 runs and two stolen bases across 39 appearances. It's unclear how much time the Athletics plan to give Wilson at Triple-A Las Vegas, though a return to the big-league club sometime this week remains possible.

The Angels will recall Guzman from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Guzman has been enjoying the favorable hitting environments of the Pacific Coast League, slashing .336/.403/.571 with 12 home runs and nine stolen bases in 268 plate appearances with Salt Lake so far this season. Whiffs were a major problem in his first cup of coffee in the majors last season, as he fanned in more than half of his 42 at-bats, but Guzman has cut his strikeout rate down considerably at the Triple-A level. The 22-year-old could get a look at third base for the last-place Angels while Yoan Moncada (knee) is on the injured list.

Neto went 1-for-6 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 13-5 victory over the Dodgers.

Neto's lone hit was a loud one, as the shortstop uncorked a three-run homer to extend the Angels' lead in the seventh inning. It marked his second homer in as many games and 12th of the campaign. Overall, the 25-year-old is hitting .231 with a .778 OPS, 27 extra-base hits, 31 RBI, 44 runs and 10 stolen bases across 63 contests.

Abrams went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Sunday's 5-1 loss to Arizona.

Abrams provided the Nationals' only offense, leading off the second inning with a solo shot off Michael Soroka that briefly tied the game. The homer was his second in the last three games and is part of a great stretch, as he's hit .299 since April 29. Abrams' full season line stands at a splendid .286/.380/.534 with 14 homers, 49 RBI, 41 runs and nine steals across 279 plate appearances.

McGonigle went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run and three total RBI in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Mariners.

McGonigle provided Detroit's first run of the game in the fourth inning on a solo home run, which was his fourth of the season. The rookie infielder then played hero with a walkoff, two-RBI single in the bottom of the ninth to erase a 4-3 deficit. While the Tigers are scuffling at 27-39, McGonigle has been a bright spot with a .291/.394/.426 slash line through his first 63 games at the MLB level, and Sunday's walkoff was also his first in the majors.

Willits was promoted to High-A Wilmington on Sunday, Kyle Williams of TheBanner.com reports.

Willits will move up a level in the Nationals' minor-league farm system after producing a .300 batting average with six home runs, 37 RBI, 48 runs scored and 29 stolen bases over 190 at-bats in 47 contests with Single-A Fredericksburg so far this year. The 18-year-old was selected with the first overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft, and he has an outside chance at being promoted to Double-A down the road this season.
