Triple-A Tacoma placed Davis on its 7-day injured list June 2 due to a left hamstring strain, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

Injuries have been a constant stumbling block for Davis throughout his minor-league career, but the 26-year-old outfielder was able to earn a spot on Seattle's 40-man roster on May 18 after a hot start to the season at Tacoma. Davis went down with the hamstring strain just over two weeks later, but assuming the injury doesn't prove to be a long-term setback, he'll have a shot at making his big-league debut later on this season. He's thus far put together a .265/.376/.512 slash line with nine home runs and one stolen base over 205 plate appearances while striking out at a manageable 22.4 percent clip.

Wood went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Phillies.

The star outfielder scored multiple runs for the fifth time in the last 12 games as he continues to be an effective table-setter for the Nationals. Over that stretch, Wood is slashing .319/.382/.596 with four doubles, three homers, two steals, nine RBI and 12 runs, and his 70 runs on the season doesn't just lead the majors, it's 14 ahead of the second-place duo of Nick Kurtz and Brice Turang.

The Reds optioned Benson to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

He's clearing off the active roster to make room for the return of Elly De La Cruz (hamstring) from the injured list. Benson logged only 14 plate appearances in June, but he'll be in line to see regular action at Louisville.

Nimmo went 3-for-3 with a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Monday's 4-3 win over the Marlins.

The Rangers had a pair of two-run innings with Nimmo involved in both. He singled in the fourth and scored on Ezequiel Duran's home run, and then doubled and scored the go-ahead run in the eighth. This was Nimmo's eighth multi-hit game over the last 13 contests, during which the outfielder is slashing .358/.370/.509.

Troy started in left field and went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-2 loss to St. Louis.

Troy crushed a fastball 444 feet to dead center field in the seventh inning, his third homer in 25 games. This was the third consecutive start in left field for Troy, who is in line for a regular role in starting lineups and may eventually see time in center field following the injury to Jordan Lawlar (hamstring). Lourdes Gurriel, who normally starts in left field and recently returned from a stint on the injured list due to a hamstring issue, operated as the DH for the second time in the last three contests.

Tawa started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a double in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Cardinals.

Tawa moved into the starting lineup for the first time since being recalled from Triple-A Reno over the weekend. He defended center field, which has become a hole following the injury to Jordan Lawlar (hamstring). Jorge Barrosa started there in the first two games without Lawlar on Saturday and Sunday.

McCarthy went 1-for-4 with a three-run triple in Monday's 3-2 win over Boston.

McCarthy's lone hit was the biggest of the game for Colorado, as he delivered a walk-off triple in the ninth inning with the bases loaded. The 28-year-old punched an Aroldis Chapman fastball to the opposite field that Jarren Duran struggled to field cleanly, allowing all three runners to score. McCarthy has been swinging a hot bat of late, hitting safely in each of his past seven appearances while going 11-for-30 (.367) with four extra-base hits, four RBI and five runs scored. In his first season with the Rockies, the outfielder has put together some of the best numbers of his career, slashing .294/.335/.471 with 22 extra-base hits (five homers), 31 RBI, 27 runs scored and 11 stolen bases across 64 games.

Antonacci went 2-for-4 with three RBI, a run scored and two steals in Monday's 6-5 win over Cleveland.

With his team down to its final out, two runners in scoring position and trailing by a run, Antonacci lined an elevated fastball into center field to drive in both runners and emerge as the walk-off hero. The game-winning knock capped off a productive night in which he also recorded an RBI single and stole two bases in the seventh inning. The left fielder has put together a fantastic June, slashing .328/.438/.557 with three homers, five doubles, nine RBI, 14 runs and three stolen bases across 17 appearances this month. The rookie hasn't looked overmatched since debuting in mid-April, hitting .291/.391/.422 with 16 extra-base hits (four homers), 22 RBI, 37 runs and 11 stolen bases across 59 games.

Ward went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Monday's 6-1 win over the Angels.

This was Ward's first game back in Anaheim after he was traded to Baltimore last November. He's posted consecutive multi-hit efforts, each including a long ball, after going 12 contests without homering. The outfielder is batting .284 (23-for-81) in June and is up to .258 on the year with a .759 OPS, five homers, 22 RBI, 51 runs scored, 17 doubles and two stolen bases over 79 contests as the Orioles' primary leadoff hitter.

The Orioles designated Siani for assignment on Monday.

Siani's stint with the Orioles was very brief after serving just two days with the big-league club. The 26-year-old was called to pinch-hit during Sunday's game against the Dodgers, registering one at-bat with Baltimore. Siani was DFA'd in order to make room for Chadwick Tromp on the roster.
