  • Patrick Wisdom 3B | SEA

    Mariners' Patrick Wisdom: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Mariners optioned Wisdom to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.

    After making five straight starts at third base, Wisdom was absent from the lineup for each of the past four games. A corresponding roster move -- which is expected to be J.P. Crawford (hand) being activated from the injured list -- will be announced prior to Tuesday's contest versus the Orioles.

  • Blue Jays' Davis Schneider: Goes yard Sunday

    Schneider went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Yankees.

    Getting the start at second base and batting eighth after Andres Gimenez (wrist) was a late scratch, Schneider took advantage of the opportunity by taking Jake Bird deep in the sixth inning to tie the game at 3-3, before the Blue Jays bullpen melted down in the ninth. The hits were his first in two games since rejoining the big-league roster, while the homer was just his second of the season in 40 MLB contests. If Gimenez ends up missing more time, Schneider could be in line for more than a short-side platoon role, as Ernie Clement would slide over from second base to cover shortstop.

  • Nathan Lukes RF | TOR

    Blue Jays' Nathan Lukes: Three hits in Sunday's loss

    Lukes went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's loss to the Yankees.

    Batting second and getting the start in center field before shifting to right when Myles Straw entered the game in the seventh inning, Lukes put together another strong performance. The 31-year-old has hit safely in 16 of 18 games since coming off the IL in late May, slashing .358/.419/.448 in 75 plate appearances over that stretch with three doubles, a homer, five RBI and nine runs.

  • Camilo Doval RP | NYY

    Yankees' Camilo Doval: Fans two, nabs win in relief

    Doval (3-0) earned the win over Toronto on Sunday, striking out two batters in a scoreless inning of relief.

    Doval entered the game in the bottom of the eighth frame with the score tied 3-3. He kept things that way by retiring the side in order on 15 pitches, with two of his outs coming via punchout. Doval then moved into position for the victory when New York put up five runs in the top of the ninth. The veteran righty has been a high-leverage part of the Yankees' bullpen this season, though he hasn't been a particularly appealing fantasy asset with just one save and three holds. Doval does have three victories, however, and he has a fine 1.16 WHIP and 25:5 K:BB over 26.2 innings despite a poor 5.06 ERA.

  • Erik Sabrowski RP | CLE

    Guardians' Erik Sabrowski: Ready for rehab assignment

    Sabrowski (elbow) joined High-A Lake County on Sunday to begin a rehab assignment, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    Sabrowski didn't end up pitching Sunday after Lake County's game against West Michigan got rained out, but he'll likely be on the pitching schedule for the affiliate's next contest Tuesday. The southpaw reliever has been on the shelf since May 25 due to elbow inflammation and is expected to make multiple appearances in the minors before rejoining the Cleveland bullpen. Despite not recording any saves over his 25 appearances on the season while Cade Smith has been locked in as the Guardians' closer, Sabrowski has been an underrated fantasy asset; the 28-year-old sports a 1.71 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 39:13 K:BB and has collected two wins and 18 holds across 21 innings.

  • Yimi Garcia RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Yimi Garcia: Recovery time still an issue

    Garcia (elbow) has yet to pitch on back-to-back days during his rehab assignment, or even twice in three days, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

    The right-hander did show improved velocity during his most recent appearance for Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, but as yet he hasn't been able to bounce back quickly after an outing as he completes his recovery from surgery late last season to remove scar tissue from his elbow. That could delay Garcia's 2026 debut if the Blue Jays want to make sure he can handle a more regular usage pattern before adding him to an already overworked bullpen. Over his last four rehab appearances between Single-A Dunedin and Buffalo, Garcia has a 4.91 ERA and 1.91 WHIP over 3.2 innings with a 4:3 K:BB.

  • Jazz Chisholm 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Moves up to 20 thefts

    Chisholm drew three walks, scored one run and stole two bases over three plate appearances in Sunday's 8-3 victory versus the Blue Jays.

    Chisholm didn't start the contest, but he entered as a pinch hitter for Amed Rosario in the sixth inning. Chisholm took a walk and subsequently stole second base, though he was ultimately caught in a rundown between third and home following a groundball. The speedy infielder walked in each of his other two plate appearances, and he followed one of those free passes with another steal. Chisholm is up to 20 thefts on the season, marking the fourth straight year he's reached that milestone. He ranks fifth in the majors in that category while adding nine homers, 29 RBI, 35 runs and a .229/.318/.400 slash line through 274 plate appearances.

  • Jose Caballero SS | NYY

    Yankees' Jose Caballero: Belts three-run homer Sunday

    Caballero went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in an 8-3 win over Toronto on Sunday.

    The game was tied 3-3 entering the ninth inning, but a two-run homer by Ben Rice and Caballero's three-run shot turned the tide in New York's favor. Caballero has never hit double-digit homers in a campaign, but he's on pace to do so this season with six long balls across 59 contests. He's added a .258/.313/.402 slash line with 21 RBI, 26 runs and 15 stolen bases and has given New York valuable defensive versatility. Caballero jumped from second base to third base to left field in Sunday's game, and he's also also played shortstop and right field this season.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Expected back Tuesday

    Guerrero (back) was available to pinch hit Sunday and will likely rejoin the starting lineup Tuesday against the Red Sox, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

    The first baseman was getting ready to hit in the ninth inning when the game was close, but he was kept on the bench after the Yankees erupted for five runs in the top of the frame. Guerrero will benefit from Monday's off day after sitting out the last two contests with lower-back tightness. He's batting just .184 (7-for-38) to begin June, with his homer drought standing at 22 games.

  • Andrew Sears SP | DET

    Tigers' Andrew Sears: Activated, assigned to High-A

    Double-A Erie reinstated Sears (elbow) from its 7-day injured list Sunday and assigned him to High-A West Michigan.

    While working his way back from a left elbow osteophyte fracture, Sears had resided on Erie's IL all season before being cleared to begin a rehab assignment in mid-May. Over five starts between the rookie-level Florida Complex League and West Michigan, Sears compiled a 2.63 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 18:5 K:BB in 13.2 innings. He'll get some more time to knock off rust and build up his pitch count in the Midwest League before likely joining the Erie rotation at some point later this summer.
