MLB Player News

Nimmo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians and underwent an MRI on his shoulder earlier in the day, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Nimmo played a full nine innings during Sunday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays, but he appeared to be in pain after colliding with the right-field wall while he flagged down a flyball for the game's final out. Per Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News, Nimmo relayed after the game that he suffered a cut above his eye in addition to jamming his shoulder. Nimmo said that he felt "OK" upon reporting to the ballpark Monday, though he acknowledged that his shoulder is still sore. The Rangers aren't expected to make him available off the bench for the series opener in Cleveland while the results of his MRI are pending.

Carpenter is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

After a stretch of four consecutive starts, the left-handed-hitting Carpenter will hit the bench while the Yankees send southpaw Ryan Weathers to the bump. With Riley Greene and Colt Keith joining Carpenter on the bench, the Tigers will go with Jahmai Jones at designated hitter and Matt Vierling, James Outman and Ben Malgeri as their starters in the outfield from left to right.

Greene is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

It's the first time since April 17 and just the second time all season that Greene has been absent from the lineup. Matt Vierling will play left field and bat leadoff versus left-hander Ryan Weathers while Greene takes a seat.

Thomas went 2-for-5 with an RBI, a run scored and a steal in Sunday's 5-4 victory over the White Sox.

Thomas was penciled into the leadoff spot with left-hander Anthony Kay on the mound for the White Sox and made an immediate impact, leading off the first inning with a single before stealing second base and scoring on a Carter Jensen hit. Thomas also came through in his second at-bat, lining a slider into left field for an RBI single in the second inning. On the year, the outfielder is slashing .216/.329/.335 with five homers, 23 RBI, 20 runs and four stolen bases across 70 appearances. With Kyle Isbel (foot) sidelined, Thomas has shifted into a regular role in center field for the Royals.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Judge isn't expected to be ready for a re-evaluation later this week, when he'll be at the four-week mark in his recovery from a stress fracture of the first rib on his right side, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

At the time Judge was placed on the 10-day injured list June 5, the Yankees announced that the three-time MVP was scheduled to be re-evaluated in 4-to-6 weeks. Though Judge hasn't necessarily suffered any setbacks while resting for much of June, Boone noted that the 34-year-old is moving slowly through the recovery process and may get follow-up imaging on his rib closer to the six-week mark. With that timeline in mind, Judge can be safely ruled out through the All-Star break, and an early August return from the IL could be ambitious if he isn't cleared to resume baseball activities immediately following his re-evaluation.

Lukes went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's loss to the Rangers.

The 31-year-old outfielder accounted for all the Blue Jays' offense when he took Cole Winn deep in the eighth inning. Lukes has four long balls on the season, and all of them have come in June -- a month in which he's produced a .317/.364/.488 slash line with two doubles, eight RBI and 10 runs in 24 contests.

Robles went 2-for-5 with three stolen bases and a run scored in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Guardians.

Robles doubled his stolen-base count for the season with his three steals Sunday -- he swiped just one bag over 12 games coming into the day while going 4-for-27 (.148). Robles has been limited to the short side of a platoon since returning from the IL in late May, though he could see more playing time in the short term with both Luke Raley (elbow) and Dominic Canzone (hamstring) dealing with injuries. Overall, Robles is slashing .242/.275/.273 with no home runs, two RBI and five runs scored across 69 plate appearances this year.

Butler went 2-for-4 in Sunday's loss to the Angels.

Butler was the only Athletics player to tally multiple hits, depositing a pair of singles in the second and ninth innings. The 25-year-old has been trending in the right direction during June, slashing .300/.364/.467 with two homers, four doubles, seven RBI, 12 runs and two stolen bases across 23 appearances. Overall, the outfielder is hitting .204/.290/.311 with five homers, seven doubles, 21 RBI, 29 runs and six stolen bases across 76 games this season.

Lowe went 1-for-2 with a grand slam in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Athletics.

Lowe came through with the bases loaded in the second inning, crushing a grand slam to right field to provide all the offense the Angels needed in the victory. The 28-year-old was demoted to Triple-A Salt Lake on May 22 due to poor performance, but he was recalled Wednesday and has gone 5-for-12 (.417) in four games since returning. While Mike Trout (hamstring) is sidelined, Lowe figures to split time in center field with the right-handed-hitting Jose Siri, who replaced him as a pinch hitter against left-hander Jose Suarez in the seventh inning Sunday.

Duran is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Duran has gone 3-for-37 with a 3:13 BB:K over his last 10 games, so the Red Sox will spare the left-handed-hitting outfielder from a matchup with a southpaw starter (Carlos Rodon) while he's stuck in an extended rut at the dish. Nate Eaton will replace Duran in left field and will bat leadoff.
