  • Lifted early vs. Pirates
    Hoskins left Monday's game against Pittsburgh after suffering a hamstring injury, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Advice: Hoskins appeared to tweak something in the bottom of the second inning after singling to right field, and he was immediately removed from the matchup. He's headed to the clubhouse for further evaluation and will be considered day-to-day until more information comes to light. Rotowire.com Today, 5:17 pm

  • Sitting after four-hit game
    Dubon is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics.

    Advice: After rapping out a season-high four hits in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Tigers, Dubon will retreat to the bench as the Astros open a four-game set with the Athletics. Dubon had started in four of the past five games, but he's still seemingly viewed as a utility player for Houston and hasn't yet seized hold of an everyday spot in the lineup.

  • Losing work to Soderstrom
    Davis remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: Davis has now started just once in the Athletics' last five games, as he's seemingly moved into the short side of a platoon with the lefty-hitting Tyler Soderstrom, who has recently taken over as the team's primary first baseman. The 31-year-old has supplied a career-worst .586 OPS over 83 plate appearances this season, and the non-contending Athletics don't have much incentive to give him regular playing time while he's struggling to produce.

  • Sitting against righty again
    Nevin is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: Nevin is on the bench for the fourth time in seven games, with each of those absences coming against right-handed pitching. With both Brett Harris and Tyler Soderstrom having settled into everyday roles at the corner-infield spots, the right-handed-hitting Nevin looks like he'll be limited to short-side platoon duties for the time being.

  • Settling in as everyday shortstop
    Schuemann will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: Schuemann will pick up his sixth consecutive start after going 5-for-19 with a home run, two doubles, two walks, four RBI and three runs over Oakland's previous five games. He looks poised to operate as the Athletics' primary shortstop while Darell Hernaiz is on the injured list with a severe ankle sprain. Rotowire.com Today, 4:32 pm

  • Set for rehab assignment
    Crawford (oblique) was active for the Mariners' batting practice Monday and will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

    Advice: Crawford has been on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 1 right oblique strain since April 25, but he appears to be on the cusp of returning to the big-league roster. He'll likely need to participate in multiple contests during his rehab assignment in Triple-A before being activated and could join the team in Baltimore ahead of its three-game series with the Orioles beginning Friday.

  • J.P. Crawford to begin rehab assignment
    J.P. Crawford is expected to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Tacoma this week.

    Advice: Crawford has missed three weeks due to an oblique strain, but he’s getting closer to a return. Dylan Moore has been surprisingly good in his place at shortstop, but he’ll go back into a utility role once Crawford is ready. Rotoworld Today, 3:41 pm
     
  • In Monday's lineup
    Kim (wrist) will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Monday's game versus the Rockies.

    Advice: Kim was removed from Sunday's game against the Dodgers after being hit by a pitch on his left wrist. However, X-rays came back clean and he won't wind up missing any starts. Rotowire.com Today, 3:29 pm

  • Activation appears imminent
    Gelof (oblique) rejoined the Athletics on Monday and could be activated from the 10-day injured list during their four-game series in Houston, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Gelof played consecutive full rehab games with Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday and Sunday, which was the last box he needed to check before returning to the big club. The Athletics seem content to give Gelof a rest day Monday before likely activating him ahead of Tuesday's contests. Gelof has been out since late April with a strained left oblique.
