  • Running at 85-to-90 percent
    Langford (hamstring) said Monday that he's now able to run at about 85-to-90 percent speed, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: Langford also added that he begin swinging a bat this past Friday. The next step for the rookie will be to incorporate more explosive running to test out his strained right hamstring. It's been just one week of a projected 3-to-4 week absence for Langford, so he's still got a ways to go. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago

  • Heading to bench Monday
    Vierling is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: Though he's served as the Tigers' primary third baseman while Gio Urshela (hamstring) has been on the injured list, Vierling will begin Monday's game on the bench while Zach McKinstry receives a turn at the hot corner. Urshela appears likely to return from the IL later this week, so Vierling could soon be headed to a part-time or short-side platoon role. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago

  • Remains on bench Monday
    Rogers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: After starting three games in a row, Rogers finds himself on the bench for the second straight day. Though Carson Kelly is behind the plate Monday, Rogers still looks to be manager A.J. Hinch's preferred option at catcher. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Not starting Monday
    McCarthy is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting McCarthy will sit in the series opener Monday despite Cincinnati sending right-hander Graham Ashcraft to the hill. McCarthy hit his first home run of the season in Sunday's 9-2 win over the Orioles. Pavin Smith will get the start at right field Monday and bat eighth. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • Undergoing MRI on side
    Riley will undergo an MRI on his injured left side Monday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Riley had to be pulled from Sunday's contest versus the Mets. While Atlanta remains hopeful that it's not a long-term injury for the third baseman, more will be known once the MRI results are in, with an update expected later Monday. Zack Short is at the hot corner for Atlanta in Monday's series opener against the Cubs. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
     
  • Luis Robert Jr. could play rehab games this week
    The White Sox are hoping to get Luis Robert Jr. (hip) into rehab games later this week.

    Advice: Robert still isn’t running at full strength, but the White Sox insist on being aggressive with injuries, no matter how often it’s come back to bite them. It doesn’t seem likely that Robert will spend much time on a rehab assignment, so he might back to contribute in fantasy leagues next week. Rotoworld 20 minutes ago

  • Austin Riley undergoes MRI on injured side
    Austin Riley is currently undergoing an MRI on his injured right side.

    Advice: Everyone was hoping this was a minor tweak, but the MRI probably wouldn’t come so quickly if that was the case. Zack Short is playing third base for the Braves tonight. The team might want to see if it can swing an upgrade there should Riley land on the injured list. Rotoworld 23 minutes ago
     
  • Heads back to Triple-A
    The Tigers optioned Vilade to Triple-A Toledo on Monday.

    Advice: Vilade went 2-for-9 at the dish during his brief time in the majors. He's headed back to Toledo, where he should see steady playing time at all three outfield spots. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago
     
  • One of three sick Toronto players
    Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Turner is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles due to an illness, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: Turner's absence from the lineup for Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Twins was believed to be for maintenance purposes while he was in the midst of a 1-for-22 slump at the plate over his previous five starts, but he's apparently a victim of the bug that seems to be making its way around the Toronto clubhouse. He'll be on the bench for a second straight day Monday, while George Springer and Kevin Kiermaier are out of the lineup for the third and fourth time, respectively, in the four games due to illnesses of their own.
