  • Dylan Moore 2B | TEX

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Paternity leave coming soon

    The Mariners are expected to place Moore on the paternity leave list, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Moore is in Monday's lineup against the White Sox, so it appears the move won't occur until after the game. Leonardo Rivas and Jhonathan Diaz have joined the Mariners' taxi squad and it sounds one of them will join the active roster as Moore's replacement.

  • Jordan Lawlar SS | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Back in action for Reno this week

    Triple-A Reno will reinstate Lawlar (thumb) from its 60-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against Sacramento, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

    Lawlar has been on the shelf all season at Reno after he suffered a torn ligament in his right thumb late in spring training that required surgery. The 21-year-old shortstop looks to be operating at full strength again after he recently wrapped up a seven-game rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League in which he slashed .320/.438/.440. Lawlar floundered in his first taste of the majors in 2023, but he's still viewed as the organization's long-term answer at shortstop and should earn another opportunity with the big club in 2024 if he performs well with Reno.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Activation expected Tuesday

    The Diamondbacks are expected to activate Perdomo (knee) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

    Perdomo has been sidelined since early April following surgery on his right meniscus, but he's ready to rejoin the big club after seven rehab games, the last four of which came at Triple-A Reno. Gambadoro relays that the Diamondbacks aren't prepared to remove the struggling Eugenio Suarez from the roster to make room for Perdomo. Kevin Newman or Blaze Alexander could be at risk of losing their spots on the active roster, though Newman would have to be exposed to waivers if he's sent out of Arizona in a corresponding transaction.

  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    Marlins' Tim Anderson: Returns from bereavement list

    The Marlins activated Anderson (personal) from the bereavement list Monday.

    Anderson missed the weekend series against the Guardians but will be back in action as the Marlins travel to New York to play the Mets beginning Tuesday. With a .188/.221/.206 slash line, Anderson has been one of the worst-hitting regulars in baseball this season.

  • Nick Ahmed SS | TEX

    Giants' Nick Ahmed: Working out after brief shutdown

    Ahmed (wrist) resumed full baseball activities at the Giants' spring training complex in Arizona over the weekend and could soon head back out on a minor-league rehab assignment, MLB.com reports.

    Ahmed was placed on the 10-day injured list May 10 with a left wrist sprain but was cleared to head out on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on June 1. The veteran shortstop appeared in just one game, however, before he experienced a setback with his wrist, resulting in him being shut down for about a week. Given the brevity of his shutdown period, Ahmed shouldn't have to wait too long before rejoining a minor-league affiliate, but his return from the IL could still be a week away, if not longer. Brett Wisely and Casey Schmitt should continue to hold down the fort at shortstop for the Giants until Ahmed is ready for activation.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Pops sixth homer

    Crawford went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in an extra-inning win over the Royals on Sunday.

    Crawford got the Mariners off on the right foot with his leadoff solo shot, his second in as many games. The veteran shortstop extended his hitting streak to six games in the process, making it arguably his best offensive stretch of a season that now sees him carrying a .226/.308/.396 slash line through 42 games.

  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Nationals' CJ Abrams: Collects steal No. 10

    Abrams went 1-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's win over Atlanta.

    The shortstop came through with one of the big blows in a seven-run fourth inning for the Nationals, smashing a bases-loaded double into the right-field corner, and Abrams then promptly stole third base. The two-bagger was his 12th of the season while the steal was his 10th, and Abrams might be coming out of his prolonged slump -- he's hit safely in four straight games and five of the last six with three extra-base hits (two doubles and a homer), two steals, three runs and five RBI.

  • Orlando Arcia SS | MIN

    Braves' Orlando Arcia: On base three times Sunday

    Arcia went 1-for-2 with two walks and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Nationals.

    It's the first time all season the veteran shortstop has drawn multiple free passes in a game. Arcia's rough start to the year has continued into June, and through eight games this month he's batting just .207 (6-for-29), but three of those hits have gone for extra bases -- two doubles and a homer.

  • Paul DeJong SS | NYY

    White Sox's Paul DeJong: Keeps mashing

    DeJong went 2-for-3 with a double and a three-run home run during Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Red Sox in 10 innings.

    DeJong has been on a tear across the White Sox's last three series, launching five homers in nine games, and Sunday's multi-hit performance was his fourth during that stretch. The veteran shortstop is amidst a bit of a career revival during his first season in Chicago, slashing .238/.287/.482 -- each mark of which would be his best since 2020.

  • David Hamilton SS | MIL

    Red Sox's David Hamilton: Homers, swipes another bag

    Hamilton went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run during Sunday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the White Sox.

    Hamilton clubbed his third home run of the season Sunday, taking Chris Flexen yard in the fifth inning. He also scored the game-tying run in the ninth, reaching on a double off Tanner Banks and stealing third base before scoring on a sac fly by Reese McGuire. Hamilton finished the four-game series against the White Sox having gone 6-for-17 (.353) with four stolen bases, two doubles, a homer and three runs scored.
