Greene went 1-for-2 with two walks, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 5-3 win over the Yankees.

After snapping a brief 0-for-11 slump with two hits and a walk Sunday, Greene reached base three more times Monday and also recorded his ninth home run of the season. While his power production is down from last year's pace, when he blasted a career-best 36 homers in 157 regular-season contests, Greene is now sporting an .830 OPS this year, which would be a new career high.

Tucker left Monday's game against Minnesota with low back spasms.

After mysteriously being replaced by Alex Call in the top of the second inning, the Dodgers announced that Tucker left the game due to low back spasms. With Teoscar Hernandez and Enrique Hernandez both on the injured list, the Dodgers cannot afford another injury to their already banged-up outfield.

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.

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.

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.

Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said Monday that the team hopes DeLauter (rib) will be ready to return during its June 26-July 5 homestand, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Working his way back from a small fracture in his right rib cage, DeLauter has resumed hitting, running and throwing. Vogt does not have a specific target date for DeLauter's activation from the 10-day injured list, but it seems it could happen as soon as this weekend.

Kwan is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

Southpaw Anthony Kay is on the bump for the White Sox, so Kwan will retreat to the bench along with fellow left-handed batters Daniel Schneemann and Kahlil Watson. Kwan is batting a career-worst .206 on the season and has been especially brutal against left-handed pitching, slashing .171/.289/.211 over 90 plate appearances.

Watson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

Southpaw Anthony Kay is on the bump for the White Sox, so Watson will retreat to the bench along with fellow left-handed batters Daniel Schneemann and Steven Kwan.

Schneemann is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

Smith is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.

After going 1-for-9 with a walk and a run scored in the Astros' weekend series versus Cleveland, Smith will hit the bench as Houston kicks off a three-game set in Toronto. Joey Loperfido will step in for Smith in right field and will bat seventh.
