Neto was scratched from the lineup for Monday's game against Colorado due to whiplash, reports Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com.

Neto is still dealing with whiplash after his recent collision at home plate during Saturday's game in Tampa Bay. Oswald Peraza will replace Neto at shortstop and bat fifth in the lineup for the series opener.

Senga (spine) is slated to make the third start of his rehab assignment Wednesday with Triple-A Syracuse, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Senga will aim to throw around 85 pitches Wednesday after tossing 3.2 innings and 80 pitches in his most recent appearance for Syracuse last Thursday. Senga has recorded a 5.14 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 7:3 K:BB across seven innings between his first two rehab outings with Single-A St. Lucie and Syracuse, but if he shows improved results Wednesday, the 33-year-old could be cleared to make his next start in the big leagues. Senga has been on the shelf since April 28 due to lumbar spine inflammation.

Schanuel (ankle) has started to run, take grounders and has done shuffling drills, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

After landing on the IL on Wednesday, Schanuel has begun participating in his first drills since the injury took place. The 24-year-old has not begun running at full intensity quite yet, but he felt fine at the pace he was going at Monday. The next step in the recovery process for Schanuel is hitting.

Walls (hamstring) was removed from Monday's game against the Tigers in the third inning for precautionary reasons due to tightness in his left hamstring, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The Rays are being cautious with Walls because he missed two games last week due to the same injury. He was replaced by Oliver Dunn, who was then later replaced at shortstop by Ben Williamson.

The Rockies transferred Herrera (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

Herrera landed on the 15-day IL on Saturday due to left elbow inflammation, but his move to the 60-day IL just two days later suggests that his injury is more severe that the Rockies initially anticipated. With Herrera set to remain on the shelf through at least late July, the Rockies were able to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander TJ Shook, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Albuquerque.

Simpson was removed from Monday's game against Detroit due to a cut on his mouth, reports Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. He went 1-for-2 with a single prior to leaving the game.

Simpson was advancing to second base when his helmet fell off and struck his mouth, causing the laceration and left him bloodied. Ryan Vilade replaced Simpson in left field and in the fifth spot of the lineup.

The Rockies optioned Agnos to Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.

The move makes room on the 26-man roster for TJ Shook, who had his contract selected by the Rockies. Agnos has struggled on the mound as of late, having given up 14 earned runs over his last two outings spanning three frames. That has ballooned his numbers to a 7.78 ERA and 1.57 WHIP across 37 innings this season. Agnos will work on his command issues in the minors and could return to the big club should the Rockies need more right-handed depth out of the bullpen.

The Rockies selected Shook's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.

Shook has spent the entire 2026 season in Triple-A, where he has a 2.86 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, seven saves and a 29:8 K:BB across 28.1 innings. He'll operate out of the Rockies' bullpen, and his first call to the mound will be his major-league debut. In corresponding moves, Zach Agnos was optioned to Albuquerque and Welinton Herrera (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Monday that Ohtani will serve as the designated hitter when he starts on the mound Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

There have been some starts this season in which Ohtani has focused solely on pitching while taking a break from the batter's box, but that won't be the case Wednesday against Arizona. Ohtani has earned the win in each of his last three outings and came away with the quality start in this past Wednesday's appearance against the Rockies. At the dish, he has reached base safely in each of his last 16 games, going 24-for-61 (.393) with one steal, four home runs and 15 RBI in that span.

Rojas (elbow) could begin throwing as soon as Tuesday or Wednesday, reports Dan Hayes of The Athletic.

After landing on the 15-day IL on Friday with an elbow injury, Rojas is already starting to feel better. If he is cleared by Twins doctors, the 23-year-old can begin throwing again as soon as Tuesday or Wednesday. In 14.1 innings, Rojas recorded a 1.26 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 14:10 K:BB.
