  • Kyle Tucker RF | LAD

    Dodgers' Kyle Tucker: Leaves with apparent core injury

    Tucker left Monday's game against the Twins with an apparent core injury, Chad Moriyama of Dodgers Digest reports.

    Alex Call replaced Tucker in the game. Tucker's nightmare debut with the Dodgers continues. He entered Monday's play hitting just .234/.331/.374 and had a horrible weekend against the Orioles, striking out to end one game, and dropping to seventh in the order in another.

  • Brenton Doyle CF | CHW

    Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Ready for rehab games

    Doyle (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Doyle has missed the last month of action with an oblique injury but has progressed enough to play in rehab games. It's unlikely Doyle will be ready to return by this weekend when the Rockies have a brief three-game road trip, but he could be back next week then the club starts another homestand.

  • Jordan Beck RF | COL

    Rockies' Jordan Beck: Cleared for rehab assignment

    Beck (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Beck has been shelved since mid-May with a left hamstring strain but is ready to test things out in a game setting. Since he's missed more than a month of action, Beck is likely to require a handful of rehab contests before returning to the Rockies' active roster.

  • Mickey Moniak LF | COL

    Rockies' Mickey Moniak: Activated but not in lineup Monday

    The Rockies activated Moniak (ankle) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

    Moniak has been sidelined since late May with right ankle tendinitis but received the green light to rejoin the active roster after going 1-for-13 with a double in three rehab contests. He was putting together an All-Star-worthy season before getting hurt, posting a .942 OPS with 12 home runs. The left-handed-hitting Moniak is not in the Rockies' lineup Monday versus Red Sox southpaw Jake Bennett. Sterlin Thompson has been sent back to Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding roster move.

  • Jacob Young CF | WAS

    Nationals' Jacob Young: Checking back into lineup

    Young (side) will start in center field and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Phillies.

    Young will check back into the starting nine after a one-game absence due to right side discomfort, an injury he picked up after colliding with the outfield wall while making a catch Saturday. The 26-year-old has provided three stolen bases through 14 games this month, but he's offered little production in the other four major rotisserie categories (.213 average, one home run, six runs and three RBI).

  • Owen Caissie RF | MIA

    Marlins' Owen Caissie: Taking seat Monday

    Caissie is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

    Caissie will move to the bench after he went 5-for-13 with two home runs, two walks, one double, one stolen base, five RBI and two runs while making starts in each of the last four contests. With Caissie exiting the lineup, the Marlins will go with Griffin Conine at designated hitter and with Heriberto Hernandez, Jakob Marsee and Esteury Ruiz as their starting outfielders.

  • Johan Rojas CF | PHI

    Phillies' Johan Rojas: Out 6-to-8 months after surgery

    Rojas (suspension) underwent surgery Friday to repair the UCL in his right elbow and will face an expected recovery timeline of 6-to-8 months, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Rojas remains on the restricted list while he serves an 80-game suspension stemming from a positive test for performance-enhancing drugs, but once the ban is lifted Thursday, he's expected to revert to the Phillies' injured list. The 25-year-old outfielder sustained the elbow injury earlier this month while ramping up his baseball activities in anticipation of his return from suspension. The Phillies expect Rojas will be ready to go for the start of the 2026 season, though it's possible that he'll head into spring training under some restrictions with his hitting and throwing.

  • Kendall George OF | LAD

    Dodgers' Kendall George: On track for post-break return

    George (knee) has been rehabbing at the Dodgers' spring training facility in Arizona and is on track to return after the All-Star break, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

    George suffered an injury to his left patellar tendon in late May when he jumped out of the way to avoid Double-A Tulsa's bat-retrieving dog. He did not require surgery but is still about a month away from returning to Tulsa's lineup. George is hitting .333/.417/.397 with 26 stolen bases on the season.

  • Tommy Troy LF | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Needs work to learn CF

    Troy will work with Diamondbacks outfielders coach Dave McKay to learn defending center field, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

    Troy started the last two games in left field, while Jorge Barrosa replaced the injured Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) in center field, but Troy is considered the better hitter of the two. While he's played some center field in the upper minors and for Arizona, Troy is more comfortable in left. Given that left fielder Lourdes Gurriel is back from injury, finding a home for Troy in center field makes sense.

  • Jorge Barrosa LF | HOU

    Diamondbacks' Jorge Barrosa: Makes second straight start

    Barrosa started in center field and went 0-for-2 in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Minnesota.

    Barrosa made a second consecutive start in center field after the club placed Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Saturday. He's projected to miss between four and six weeks, which means an opportunity for the light-hitting Barrosa, who is slashing .181/.252/.352 over 119 plate appearances. Prospect Tommy Troy is also an option, but manager Torey Lovullo wants him to work with outfielders coach Dave McKay before entrusting him to center field, per Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports.
